Project Objectives: MapWraptor® WMS Authoring Toolkit The main project objective of the GeoInnovations project was the development of a Web Map Service Authoring Toolkit. This objective was realized and, with the release of MapWraptor v. 3.0 in October 2002, GeoArctic’s spatial data cataloguing and metadata editing software now includes a WMS Authoring Toolkit. The toolkit works with the Open Source MapServer and Earth Resource Mapping’s Image Web Server. MapWraptor provides an integrated suite of tools for spatial data management and cataloguing (images and vectors); metadata creation, import, editing, and search (FGDC and ISO); and automated authoring of OpenGIS WMS. The WMS Authoring Toolkit requires no specialized programming skills. The ease of use of the software means that offices with little prior knowledge of OpenGIS or web mapping technologies can author and host a WMS.
