38 Interoperability is increasingly becoming a focus point for organizations that distribute and share data over the Internet. The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) focuses on the development of publicly available geospatial web standards. MapServer currently supports numerous OGC specifications, allowing users to publish their data services in an interoperable manner. This workshop will review the OGC specs supported in MapServer as well as provide information on implementation options and issues, as well as what the future holds for OGC support in MapServer. Notes: You MUST be familiar with basic MapServer concepts to do this workshop. This workshop assumes you are comfortable with: - Writing and working with mapfiles - Connecting various data types - Working with templates, fonts, symbols, legends, scalebars, etc. FOSS4G2006 - Free And Open Source Software for Geoinformatics Workshop Session 2 Tom Kralidis tom.kralidis@ec.gc.ca Yewondwossen Assefa yassefa@dmsolutions.ca Tom Kralidis tom.kralidis@ec.gc.ca Yewondwossen Assefa yassefa@dmsolutions.ca <MaKaC.conference.ContributionType object at 0xb4934f6c> [WKS] Workshop
