Technical Benefits
Our project provides technical benefits to many CGDI members:
- for members without a Web Feature Server, the Validation framework can be used to construct
data testing and validation engines than can be run on database and file based spatial data
- for members using a Web Feature Server, the Validation engine can be integrated directly in to
the editing workflow, and protect the integrity of the underlying data on the fly
- for members with proprietary database servers, such as OracleSpatial and ArcSDE, the project
added the ability to expose those databases using the GeoServer WFS
- for members with spatial databases, the project included an upgraded to the locking facilities in
the GeoServer Web Feature Server
In general, the entire technical community within CGDI can benefit, because the results of the
project have been released as open source software. Any organization with a need for the
technical benefits of this project can make use of the software without licencing fees.
