EasyGIS version 0.1 released on June 08, 2009
The EasyGIS team is pleased to present the first public release of open source Web 2.0 GIS. The version 0.1 presents a number of Core Features that allow you to share and publish geo localized data sets on the Web. The EasyGIS 0.1 introduces a simple Web user interface for integration with external data and service providers to prepare so-called GIS mashups. Builtin support for Google Maps and OpenStreetMap serves as a good basement for thematic mapping. All system services are exposed via RESTful API. With the REST Web resources, external clients can leverage the search and map rendering functionality embedding the resources into external applications and sites.
