Pues sí. Muy buena noticia.

Tengo constancia de que ESRI estaba ya en plena acción comercial entre
tomadores de decisiones administrativas con el argumento de que Arcgis
server es libre y open, interpretando a su manera comercial el hecho de
que daban ya por hecho que este API iba a ser estandar OGC.

Y esta noticia me está viniendo muy bien para las labores de
contrainformación donde se pone una vez más de manifiesto la diferencia
entre lo que se predica y lo que se hace.

Por mucho que pensemos que lo que hacen o dicen desde ESRI
tecnológicamente es una barbaridad, éstos lo utilizan en ciertos
círculos aprovechándose del desconocimiento de gran parte de ltos
tomadores de decisión de un lado y de su facilidad para acceder a estos
círculos por el otro lado.

Saludos, Gabi
