MapLoom is a web mapping client based on OpenLayers 3. It provides full-featured editing capabilities for data stores in GeoServer - including PostGIS and GeoGig. For GeoGig layers, it lets you view history, and sync with other GeoGig repositories

MapLoom

MapLoom is a web client that leverages GeoGig to allow people to edit geographic information, view history, and sync with other GeoGig repositories. The goal is to put the power of distributed versioned editing into the hands of users. It's been developed to sit inside of GeoNode as an alternative to the default GeoNode map client but it can also be set up to stand alone.

Details

MapLoom has been built using OpenLayers 3, Angular, and Bootstrap.

WPS & Feature Type Attributes Statistics Considerations

We are utilizing Geoserver Web Processing Services in a couple of places. For example, the 'zoom to layer data' uses a wps that is already included in geoserver. In the layer's table view, we have added the ability to view charts and statistics on the attribute values for the whole layer or a set of filtered features of a layer. To Accomplish this, we created a custom WPS called summarize_attrib which is using the geoscript functionality in geoserver. When the summarize/statistics button is clicked in maploom, geoserver will need to have the wps available. If you are using a geoserver instance that was created and configured using the geoshape script, everything will be taken care of already and you do not need to do anything mentioned here. If you are using a different deployment of geoserver, you'll need: 1) the geoserver wps extention, 2) commons-math3-3.3.jar, 3) geoserver-2.5-SNAPSHOT-python-plugin.zip, and 4) the scripts folder
