GeoCMS

Tiki combined with this feature becomes a Geospatial Content Management System (GeoCMS).

By enabling the Maps feature, you can display interactive maps of any area in the world in any projection. You can zoom on a map, select which geographic layer you want to see and query any geographical object. Other features are taking advantage of maps: user preferences, image galleries,...

The system is based on the Mapserver software from the University of Minesota.

Tiki provides a nice, easy and integrated interface to the Mapserver.

Applications are unlimited:

• help to decision making by providing relevant geographical information
• geology mapping
• environmental mapping
• location mapping
• creating interactive geographical manuals
• ...

This system can be part of an e-government initiative.

The system is composed of a Map viewer, a Layer Management tool and a Mapfiles manager.

In short to create a map:

• you upload your GIS files using the Layer Management.
• you create and edit a Mapfile using the Mapfiles Manager
• you display the map inside the MapView
