Publishing extension is now available in gvSIG 1.1.x

Thursday July 31st 2008
Filed Under gvSIG 

The publishing extension is available in gvSIG 1.1.x. It allows to publish geospatial data and metadata through standard OGC web services, right from the gvSIG user interface without the need to interact directly with any server software. In this way, without specific knowledge of the server applications, the gvSIG user will be able to publish cartography and metadata on-line with extreme ease.

This first version specifically includes publishing of geospatial services through these software packages and standards:

Mapserver: WMS, WCS & WFS.
Geoserver: WFS.

It is available in the Extensions section of the gvSIG web page (http://www.gvsig.gva.es/index.php?id=2010&L=2).

Advice: To install this extension you must have correctly installed gvSIG 1.1.x version

Vancouver, BC, July 17, 2008 – Safe Software, the leaders in spatial ETL and the makers of FME, together with WeoGeo, known for its marketplace and cloud computing expertise, announced today that they have partnered to bring the powerful data transformation capabilities of FME technology to the cloud. This combined offering will make it easier than ever before for spatial data to be accessed when, where, and how it’s needed.

This partnership represents the first initiative to bring spatial ETL capabilities to the cloud. WeoGeo will use FME technology as the basis for their data distribution offerings in their marketplace, providing users with the ability to restructure their spatial data into the required format and data model and share it out to those who need it.
Specifically, organizations will be able to use FME Desktop to author spatial data flows that convert and integrate spatial data. They can then publish them to FME Server on the cloud, which will manage the transformation process and make the resulting datasets available to end consumers as required.

“Spatial ETL is the backbone for effective spatial data sharing, enabling data to be distributed in a structure and format that is immediately usable to end consumers.” says Paul Bissett, CEO of WeoGeo. “As the leaders in spatial ETL, Safe Software was the clear choice to partner with in our quest to build a more efficient spatial data exchange solution. Together, our combined expertise will provide a powerful and innovative way for organizations to share spatial data online.”

The first phase of this partnership will strengthen WeoGeo’s data download web site by introducing the data transformation power of FME Server on www.WeoGeo.com. The next phase will provide organizations with the option to deploy FME Server through WeoGeo’s cloud computing expertise using the resources of Amazon Web Services (AWS). This innovative approach will enable organizations to use FME’s powerful data integration and distribution capabilities on the cloud for sharing spatial data with online data consumers on an infrastructure that automatically sizes to match current demand.

“This is another example of Safe Software’s commitment to providing leading-edge solutions that enable the GIS industry to access data no matter how it’s structured or where it’s located,” says Don Murray, President of Safe Software. “By working with WeoGeo, we will enable organizations to take advantage of the cloud’s infrastructure to distribute usable data to those who need it.”

To learn more about this announcement and see FME Server and WeoGeo in action, visit the Safe Software booth #6 and WeoGeo booth #7. You can also attend Safe Software’s and WeoGeo’s presentations at the GeoWeb conference on Thursday, July 24, 2008.

* Safe Software’s Don Murray presents “Integrating 3D, BIM, Vector, and Raster Data with Spatial ETL” at 10:45 am
* Safe Software co-presents Plenary Session “Visions of the GeoWeb” at 2:30 pm
* Safe Software Vendor Spotlight at 4:20 pm
* WeoGeo Vendor Spotlight at 4:30 pm

You can also learn more about FME Server by visiting www.safe.com/fmeserver or by contacting info@safe.com to request a personalized web demo.

Vancouver, BC, July 14, 2008 – Safe Software announced today that its FME platform, the recognized standard in spatial ETL, provides full support for GeoJSON 1.0, recently named an official geospatial data interchange format. Users looking to quickly and efficiently exchange spatial information can now convert GeoJSON data into the format and data model they need, as well as integrate it with their existing datasets.

GeoJSON brings the geospatial world to web services-based data sharing by specifying spatial data in a way that JavaScript web browsers can use instantly. Harnessing this speed, FME enables users to access GeoJSON data and then manipulate it to suit their needs. This can include clipping the data they require from a GeoJSON dataset, translating it into a useable format required by their chosen application, and adjusting the data model to meet the existing schema. With FME, users can also integrate GeoJSON data with their datasets, regardless of the format or structure, to create mashups or a more complete spatial dataset.

In addition to enabling users to consume GeoJSON data, FME allows users to share their own spatial data in the GeoJSON 1.0 specification without impacting the format and model of the source dataset. Using FME Server, the scalable and efficient data distribution solution built on the spatial ETL technology of the FME platform, users can simply convert their data into GeoJSON and stream it over their own web services.

“The GIS industry is clearly seeking specifications which meet the demanding speed requirements of our web-enabled world,” says Dale Lutz, Vice President of Development at Safe Software. “Thanks to the pragmatic efforts of a small community of volunteers, GeoJSON is now available for the rapid exchange of spatial data. We’re pleased to offer GeoJSON users full support in their quest to integrate and share data quickly by providing them with a way to get their data in and out of this new exchange format.”

FME has provided support for GeoJSON since its early draft stages last year. This is another example of Safe Software’s commitment to meeting the evolving needs of the GIS industry, including the increasing demand for sharing spatial data over the web.
