Hi all,
As mentioned by Kai H=E4nninen last week, all ZCO and PrimaGIS =
discussion=20
are being moved to
http://lists.community.tummy.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/primagis
We'll keep the lists open for a while, will do what can be done to=20
steer new users to the primagis list. After some time, we may be=20
moving PCL discussion there as well.
ZCO and PrimaGIS now share a Subversion repository. Anonymous access=20
to PrimaGIS is like
svn checkout svn://community.tummy.com:5045/PrimaGIS/trunk PrimaGIS
ZCO will be imported soon. The mailing list and repository are=20
sponsored by my ISP, http://tummy.com, who also happen to host the=20
Twisted site and do all kinds of other great things for the Python=20
community.
The new issue tracker for ZCO and PrimaGIS is at=20
http://zcologia.org:8900/primagis. If you register, please use the URL=20=
to confirm. Replying to the message will have no effect.
For the time being, the home page for the PrimaGIS product is=20
http://primagis.technocore.fi. ZCO's page will soon be moved from=20
zmapserver.sourceforge.net to zcologia.org.
cheers,

Hi I'm CCing the ZMapServer lists too in order to let people know about the new ZCO/PrimaGIS mailing list that has been created. I would encourage anyone interested in ZCO and PrimaGIS to join the new mailing list, since we are moving the discussion there. You can join the new list at: http://lists.community.tummy.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/primagis Yesterday we were talking about some use cases and future features for PrimaGIS at #zco and I'd like to present them here in hopes of getting some feedback and ideas. For those not familiar with the PrimaGIS structure, it has two classes that represent layers that can be rendered on the map: PrimaGISLayer and PrimaGISDataLayer. PrimaGISLayer simply refers to layers in ZCO that have datastores defined outside of Plone (e.g. shapefiles). From a Plone point of view, PrimaGISDataLayer is the more interesting one, since it allows spatial data created within Plone to be used and rendered on the map and this is what I would like to discuss. In our discussion we identified three scenarios how Plone content objects could be used with PrimaGIS (through PrimaGISDataLayer): 1. "Dumb" content objects with geo-aware proxy objects 2. Geo-aware content objects with "dumb" proxy objects 3. Geo-aware content objects used directly as data for PrimaGISDataLayer By "dumb" i mean non-geo-aware. The actual content object may be arbitrarily complex. I'll explain each scenario below. Scenario #1 ---------- This is what we have currently and can be seen at the demo site. We have GeoArchetypesProxy which is geo-aware (currently it knows only about coordinates) and it uses the AT references mechanism to refer to the AT content objects. The references are many-to-many by nature and a single proxy object may reference multiple content objects and a single content object may be referenced by multiple proxies (on a single or different maps). The main advantage of this model is that no changes are needed in the content objects and it's possible to spatially extend sites that have a large base of existing content. Semantically, scenario #1 is best suited for objects that don't have a natural spatial dimension. In this case, it is ok to store the spatial information in the corresponding proxy object. While it is possible to use this approach on any object, it would be much nicer to include the spatial information within the objects that have a natural spatial dimension. Scenario #2 ---------- In scenario #2 we would have objects that are natively geo-aware. The proxy objects would be even simpler and they would only keep track of the referenced objects. This doesn't differ from scenario #1 that much, but would have better data encapsulation and would allow using the spatial data within the content objects. Unless the content objects supported multiple locations, this approach would change the many-to-many relationship to one-to-many. The objects could still be located on multiple maps, but they would only be in a single location. The main advantage of scenario #2 comes out when a Plone site has many natively geo-aware objects scattered around at different places. The proxy objects can be used to gather these objects together to be used as data for PrimaGISDataLayer without having to move them around. Scenario #3 ---------- Scenario #3 deals away with the proxy objects and uses the actual content objects as data for the PrimaGISDataLayer. Again we deal with natively geo-aware objects. This approach is most effective when the content objects are located in the same place (e.g. a single folder). We can simply point PrimaGISDataLayer to look for its data from this location.=20 The main advantage of this approach is that if geo-aware objects already define a logical collection (at least in a layer sense) of data, we can simply use this instead of creating an additional (identical) grouping with the proxy objects.=20 I believe each scenario has its merits and I'm planning on implementing them all, since they are not mutually exclusive. There are some technical consideration I would also like to discuss. The proxy objects use the AT reference mechanism, which in turn uses a dedicated catalog (reference_catalog) for implementing the references. While catalog operations are (relatively) cheap, using the object.getReferences() method returns the actual objects instead of just catalog brains and this requires fetching them from the ZODB. Because PrimaGIS shows information about these objects in the JS-popups, it needs to fetch the objects from ZODB for every rendered map image. With a PrimaGISDataLayer with a large number of data objects, this might effect performance. This applies to both scenarios #1 and #2. The objects will of course be cached, but I still feel this might be an issue. With scenario #3, it would be possible to query the normal site catalog for the objects and possibly make do with the data available from the brain objects. This would benefit performance, since we wouldn't have to load the actual content objects (the currently used information: URL, Title, Description is available in the brains). In the worst case we would have to load all the objects which is the same as with scenarios #1 and #2. Eventhough the the reference mechanism may have some performance penalties, it also has one very useful feature. Once an object is referenced, you can move it around freely in the site without affecting the reference link. So the PrimaGIS will continue to work regardless of the location of the content object in the site. A smaller issue is the containment of the proxy objects. Currently PrimaGISDataLayer just allows the user to define a traversable path to the location of the proxy objects. I plan to contain the proxy objects within the PrimaGISDataLayer so the user doesn't have to know worry about them. I'll leave the option for defining an external location for the data so that scenario #3 is possible. Finally, in order to have natively geo-aware objects that are compatible with PrimaGIS, we need to either have some MixIn class or an interface that AT developers can use when they design their AT classes. OK, this ended being a lot longer than I thought it'd be, but at least it helped me clear my thoughts :) If you feel that any of the scenarios would serve your needs, please let us know. cheers, Kai --=20 Kai H=E4nninen mobile:+358-44-541 9567 Software engineer www.mbconcert.fi MB Concert Ky kai...@mb... |

Hi We will be moving the PrimaGIS project to a public repository in the near future, but in the meanwhile I've prepared a prerelease snapshot of the current codebase for those brave enough to give it a spin. You can find the tarball at the demo site: primagis.technocore.fi, there's a link at the front page. I wrote some instructions in the INSTALL.txt file and included a ZCO hierarchy (taken from the demo site) usable with PrimaGIS to help you get started. It's a far cry from being a ready products so please be patient. You can ask for help either here or in irc at #zco channel (irc.freenode.net) Any feedback is welcome! cheers, Kai --=20 Kai H=E4nninen mobile:+358-44-541 9567 Software engineer www.mbconcert.fi MB Concert Ky kai...@mb... |

It's not implemented at the moment, but it feels natural to develop PrimaGIS in this direction to support other types than POINT. It should be quite straight-forward to extend the functionality of PrimaGISDataLayer to support this.=20 > 2) How can content types that are "natively georeferenced", that is > that carry along with them geoinfo in the form of arttributes (e.g. a > WKT representation, a bbox ...) be integrated in PrimaGIS ? This shouldn't be a problem either. We do need a interface for these "natively georeferenced" objects I think, but it shouldn't be to complex. At the moment any objects that support the getX(), getY(), Title() and Description() should work. Basicly what we need are methods for accessing the location data (coordinates) and other geoinfo and method(s) for accessing some (meta)data about the object that can be shown in the JS-popups. The data shown in the popup doesn't have to be limited to dull plaintext as in the demo, but could include any rich content, such as images, videos, etc. Again, I feel that a common interface is needed. Any thoughts on this? Another thing I would like to discuss is the location of the PrimaGIS related geodata (such as proxy objects and native geoaware objects). Currently the PrimaGISDataLayer objects (that implement the ILayerProxy and IFeatureStoreProxy interfaces and interact with ZCO) just define a traversable path (presumably to a Folder) that contains the actual geodata. I thought about refactoring this so, that PrimaGISDataLayer would become folderish and would contain the geodata objects to have better data encapsulation. With the proxy-object approach I think this is sensible since the proxy objects are not used per se, but if we want to allow arbitrary (natively geoaware) objects to be usable with PrimaGIS, it wouldn't be too nice to force people to move their objects under the PrimaGISDataLayers just to have them be usable in the map. In this case it would be much better to have the geoaware content objects stay where they they should be content-wise and just tell PrimaGISDataLayer where to look for them. How do you feel? I'll drop by #zco later tonight, so we can discuss these things. cheers, Kai=20 --=20 Kai H=E4nninen mobile:+358-44-541 9567 Software engineer www.mbconcert.fi MB Concert Ky kai...@mb... |

Did you create the GeoArchetypesProxys by hand? While logged in there is a selection box below the map which allows you to select the layer you wish to add the new proxy. Selecting the layer is the first step, and after this clicking on the map creates a new proxy object in the clicked location and moves the browser to the proxy's editing page. This is not the most intuitive way, I agree. cheers, Kai --=20 Kai H=E4nninen mobile:+358-44-541 9567 Software engineer www.mbconcert.fi MB Concert Ky kai...@mb... |

Hi everybody As I promised earlier, I've now managed to put up a demo site for PrimaGIS. Content-wise the site is still not ready, but you should be able to get a better picture from it than just from an email. The Zope instance is dedicated for the demo, so if you wish to take a better look and play around a bit I can provide you with accounts. If anyone is interested in trying to install it on your own system let me know because I have to work on the code + instructions a bit more before that.

If interested we may be able to get you guys on codehaus. See http://codehaus.org/Project+Selection and http://codehaus.org/Manifesto We have a little geo corner - currently all Java, but I don't think there is any commitment to java.

I'd like to help out too... We (where we = me and a student who wants to work on such things) are just getting started on this whole idea, and will be out of town until the 16th of May, but we're very interested. I've got Plone and some Archetypes experience but not much GIS experience (and zero with Mapserver), but we have lots of ideas how we'd like to use this integration. It all sounds good so far, and very exciting... look forward to getting everything running and testing some code when we get back from fieldwork. =Paul |

Discussion about ZCO and Plone has been reduced to just Yves and I lately ... it will be great to have input from you. Your maps look great to me. Have you tried ZCO yet? If not, we should make a date for me to give you a tour. Perhaps meeting on the #mapserver IRC channel would be a start. The reason I ask this is because ZCO has also another UI: the Zope management interface. The management interface could really benefit from better property management panels, color pickers, and the like. cheers, Sean -- Sean Gillies sgillies at frii dot com http://zcologia.com |

Hi I've been working on my ZCO based Plone mapping product also and I thought I'd share some of my work also. I'm working towards having the code base in a releasable state and will put up a demo site also in the near future. I'll let you know. Here are some of the background and currently available features that you might find useful in your own projects. The product is called PrimaGIS (named after the family of products at the company I work for) and will be released under the GPL licence. PrimaGIS is originally based on the PloneMap project (http://plonemap.makina-corpus.org/) which in turn uses the older ZMapServer product. Currently some of the exellent ideas from PloneMap are retained, but the code has been modified heavily and I've added many new features. PrimaGIS works with PCL/ZCO and is not ZMapServer compatible. We use Plone and Archetypes heavily in our development and the main idea behind PrimaGIS is to provide a spatial extension to arbitrary Archetypes based objects. The idea is to have the available maps integrate nicely in our existing Plone sites as part of the content, so PrimaGIS is more of an extension than a full featured mapping application. The use model is such that all low-level technical configuration of the maps (ZCO side and PrimaGIS initialization) is done by system administrators. After this, site (content) administrators, who might not be technically oriented, may add content to the map by simply clicking with the mouse with (almost) the same ease as editing other content. The way PrimaGIS works is that a location on the map is represented by a proxy object. Currently there is only GeoArchetypesProxy, which uses the Archetypes Reference mechanism for referencing AT objects. GeoArchetypesProxy knows only it's location on the map and the objects it refers to, so it is very simple. At a lower level PrimaGis defines data layers that implement ZCO interfaces (IFeatureStoreProxy, ILayerProxy) allowing it to interoperate directly with ZCO. These data layers contain the proxy objects. The main features of PrimaGIS are following: * Many-to-many mappings between arbitrary Archetypes based objects and map locations (GeoArchetypesProxy). A single Archetypes object may be located on multiple maps and/or multiple locations and a single location on map may refer to multiple Archetypes objects. * Context-sensitive portlet for showing relevant spatial information for Archetypes objects (links to maps that refer to the object) * Background communication using XmlHttpRequest for refreshing map imagery to avoid reloading whole pages. * User editable map content * Info-on-map using JavaScript popups with the overlib-library. Moving on location on the map will popup a small window showing the Title and Description of the referred object(s). * Rubberband zooming (not 100% IE proof, any help appreciated here) =20 It's hard to give a clear picture of the product in just an email, but I'm working towards moving the code to a publicly accessible repository and setting up the demo site so if anyone is interested you could take a look. I've noticed that the people on this list have varying needs and ideas for a ZCO/Plone based mapping solution, but I believe we could benefit a lot from sharing the ideas and code here. cheers, Kai H=E4nninen --=20 Kai H=E4nninen mobile:+358-44-541 9567 Software engineer www.mbconcert.fi MB Concert Ky kai...@mb... |

Hello, I've just subscribed and been reading the previous posts (http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=11649853) and I very interested in "trying" to help on some things, specially a better UI for the ZCO. So I'd like to have a look at the "AJAX demo site" or any code already done that Yves talked about. I've no previous knowledge of AJAX (which I'm being aware now, reading something of Sarissa), but I did some DHTML controllers for some map services i've implemented like: http://www.sosmatatlantica.org.br/?secao=atlas http://www.florestasdofuturo.org.br/paginas/home.php?pg=bacias_reflorestadas For these I've used Mapserver, PHPMascript and some stolen/addapted JS from the ArcIMS site templates (shame on me on that!!! , but it was what was easiers since I've played a lot around the auto-generated js of ArcIMS). I've been using Zope/CMF for 3 years now, I'm involved in some Plone Site projects to (using AT). So I think this is the opportunity to join forces. So that's it. I'd like to try to help you. PS: the subscription with a gmail account didn't workout, so I've done with another account. Cheers, Luiz Fernando |

As I got a better look at the world_borders and your data I found what the problem was with the weird rendering. The error was all mine and had nothing to do with the actual data. It was due to the proper SRS value being overwritten by a wrong one, which naturally caused the problem. All is fine now. cheers, Kai --=20 Kai H=E4nninen mobile:+358-44-541 9567 Software engineer www.mbconcert.fi MB Concert Ky kai...@mb... |

You may have a look at ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/misc/freegis/intevation/freegis/worlddata/ (beeing a mirror of our FTP-Server) These are the country boundaries with and without simplification.
