[OSGeo-Discuss] GeoData OpenAPI

[Sam Vekemans]

hi all,
I'm just wondering what is available, in terms of an Open API which
contains the worlds geodata?


Currenly, there is Koordinates.com (which is growing) and geocommons.com


There is CommonMap (which is the 'professional' equivelentent ccBY
alternative to OpenStreetMap) as a 2-way edit street



and the ODBL/ccBYsa OpenStreetMap API as a one-way editable map


Does anyone know of any other projects in the works? ... somewhere
where i can upload .shp files (from all sources) and have the data in
an API ready for extraction and use (for rendering, incorporating to
other maps, and building things like garmin gps maps).


Thanks in advance,
Sam Vekemans

[OSGeo-Discuss] 52N WPS 2.0-RC6 available

[Ann Hitchcock]

Dear OSGeo List, 

The 52°North Geoprocessing Community released a new Web Processing Service
version. The WPS 2.0-RC6 contains the following new features:

*   an out-of-the-Box GRASS connector (no programming needed). A
tutorial [1] provides instructions on how to connect GRASS with the WPS. A
list of processes [2] are also available. 
*   a new easy-to-use WebAdmin interface for WPS configuration. It is no
longer necessary to manually change the XML files and low level code.
*   a new Windows Installer
*   improved KML Reader and Writers
*   several smaller bug fixes.

The 52N WPS enables standardized web-based geodata processing in distributed
architectures. It features a pluggable architecture for processes and data
encodings. The implementation is based on the current OpenGIS specification:
05-007r7. For a full description of the features, please look here:
