CartoWeb (http://www.cartoweb.org) is both a comprehensive and ready-to-use 
 Web-GIS and a convenient framework for building customized applications. It is 
 based on Mapserver.
 
 In this workshop, we'll focus on its "ready-to-use" aspect. A second 
 workshop deals with some advanced features, like distributed edition of geodata, 
 and the extension of its functional range.
 
 After a short introduction to the global architecture of CartoWeb, we'll address 
 the configuration of its standard features:
 - Organization of the hierarchy of layers
 - Initial state of the application
 - Persistent queries
 - Customized highlighting of selected features on map
 - Redlining and annotations
 - Access control to the application
 - Configuration of PDF export
 
 To make the most of this workshop, at least a basic working knowledge of 
 Mapserver configuration (mapfiles) would be a non negligible asset.
