Geoinformation für alle – Luftballons im Dienste der Wissenschaft. Unter dem Motto "OpenBalloonMap" vermittelt das i3mainz Grundlagen der Geoinformatik und präsentiert Projekte aus der Umwelt- und Gesundheitsforschung. Die ersten Ergebnisse sind auf der Projektwebsite "openballoonmap.org" einsehbar.
OpenBallonMap is a free available balloonmap using Java / JavaScript / JSP and a PostGIS / GeoServer connection.
Here, the sourcecode of the server and client application is published.
The "openballoon" folder is a Netbeans project, if you build it, you will get a WAR file. Run it as "ROOT".
You have to run this WAR file in an Apache Tomcat using a PostgreSQL / PostGIS 2.x database (with an bunch of existing tables and configure the properties in the config.properties file. You need also a GeoServer that gives the data via a WMS / WFS interface.
Want to see the app? See the application.
Want to see the data? See the GeoServer Layers.
