24 | 50 | Franck Theeten | ## WMS and Layers |
25 | |||
26 | |||
27 | The WMS bound to the service is http://edit.africamuseum.be/geoserver/ (don't forget the trailing slash). |
||
28 | |||
29 | |||
30 | |||
31 | 53 | Franck Theeten | The services displays TDWG and vmap0 layers (http://gis-lab.info/qa/vmap0-eng.html) imported in the "topp" namespace. |
32 | |||
33 | |||
34 | |||
35 | The list of layers can be accessed by executing a WMS GetCapabilties request on the "topp" dataset: |
||
36 | |||
37 | |||
38 | http://edit.africamuseum.be/geoserver/topp/wms?service=WMS&request=GetCapabilities. |
||
39 | |||
40 | |||
41 | |||
42 | Alternatively, you can also use the "preview layer" part of the graphical interface of GeoServer |

51 | |||
52 | |||
53 | ## Description of layers |
||
54 | |||
55 | |||
56 | Since 2011, any layer registered in the WMS can be used in distribution maps and have its style dynamically defined in the HTTP GET parameters (this functionnality was originally limited to TDWG layers). |
||
57 | |||
58 | |||
59 | When building a query, the programmer needs to know the structure of a layer (i.e. the name and the type of fields) since some functionnalities do not work on numeric attributes. For instance, you can define a filter to apply a style on specific values (like names of countries), but only if the corresponding attribute in the database has a text format (you cannot apply filter on integer column). |
||
60 | |||
61 | |||
62 | It is possible to get an XML describing the types and fieldnames of a layer by running a WFS query "DescribeFeature" on GeoServer like in the example below ("typename" being the name of the layer) |
||
63 | |||
64 | |||
65 | e.g: |
||
66 | |||
67 | |||
68 | http://edit.africamuseum.be/geoserver/topp/wfs?service=WFS&version=1.1.0&request=DescribefeatureType&typename=topp:vmap0_afsa_hydro_inland_water_prm_only_a |
||
69 | |||
70 | |||
71 | |||
72 | 54 | Franck Theeten | => in the answer "xsd:string" corresponds to attributes having a text type that can be used in filter. |

158 | 41 | Niels Hoffmann | #### Basic Issues |
159 | 17 | Andreas Müller | |
160 | 24 | Pere Roca Ristol | Map Image size is specified as 400 pixels width. It means the height will be 200 pixels (just the half). Attention: you cannot specify an odd number as width/height. |
161 | |||
162 | |||
163 | 26 | Pere Roca Ristol | A bounding box (bbox) is specified. We strongly recommend to use bbox if know it (for example if all your data is on the same zone). |
164 | 25 | Pere Roca Ristol | |
165 | 1 | Andreas Kohlbecker | |
166 | 26 | Pere Roca Ristol | We provide world country borders and all TDWG levels as background. This parameter must be specified in "l" parameter (l=earth in that example). |
167 | |||
168 | |||
169 | Current codes for background layers are: |
||
170 | |||
171 | |||
172 | -Country borders: earth |
||
173 | |||
174 | |||
175 | -TDWG level 1: tdwg1 |
||
176 | |||
177 | |||
178 | -TDWG level 2: tdwg2 |
||
179 | |||
180 | |||
181 | -TDWG level 3: tdwg3 |
||
182 | |||
183 | |||
184 | -TDWG level 4: tdwg4 |

201 | 1 | Andreas Kohlbecker | |
202 | 25 | Pere Roca Ristol | We see here the "recalculate" parameter in action. |
203 | |||
204 | When the bbox is not specified, the service will calculate it and try to fit the image to the specified dimensions (width/height). It can cause distorted images. |
||
205 | |||
206 | |||
207 | Recalculate=true (this is the default if nothing is specified) tries to avoid these distortions. It means also that in some cases the final image size will change as you can see in the first image. |

231 | 1 | Andreas Kohlbecker | |
232 | 26 | Pere Roca Ristol | You can mix different TDWG layers. In that case, TDWG level 3 and TDWG level 1. |
233 | |||
234 | |||
235 | No background layer is defined, so you simply get the specified areas. |

248 | 41 | Niels Hoffmann | #### Symbolize Parameters |
249 | 34 | Pere Roca Ristol | |
250 | 18 | Andreas Müller | A more complex styling. The parameters for styling an area are: |
251 | 27 | Pere Roca Ristol | |
252 | 28 | Pere Roca Ristol | |
253 | 27 | Pere Roca Ristol | -Area fill color |
254 | |||
255 | 28 | Pere Roca Ristol | |
256 | 27 | Pere Roca Ristol | -Area stroke color |
257 | |||
258 | 28 | Pere Roca Ristol | |
259 | 27 | Pere Roca Ristol | -Area stroke width |
260 | |||
261 | 28 | Pere Roca Ristol | |
262 | 27 | Pere Roca Ristol | -Area stroke dash style: we currently provide 1_2,1_4,2_2,2_4,5_7 and 10_5 but it can change. First parameter determine the length in pixels to draw the line, and the second, the length in pixels to blank out the line. As example, 5_7 means a very dashed line (separated 7 pixels one line from another). |
263 | 1 | Andreas Kohlbecker | |
264 | 27 | Pere Roca Ristol | |
265 | 33 | Pere Roca Ristol | |
266 | 28 | Pere Roca Ristol | We allways provide default values. So, you could even specify styles "a" and "b" as a:|b: and the image will be generated. |
267 | 27 | Pere Roca Ristol | |
268 | 28 | Pere Roca Ristol | A style like b:0000ff~2 would mean 0000ff fill color and 2 pixels stroke width. The other parameters would be set as default. |

284 | 16 | Andreas Kohlbecker | |
285 | 1 | Andreas Kohlbecker | |
286 | 28 | Pere Roca Ristol | Specify "title" parameter, associating to each style the desired legend. Also legend=1 and "mlp" (map legend position) |
287 | 1 | Andreas Kohlbecker | |

358 | 32 | Pere Roca Ristol | #### Using MapRest on a webmapping application |
359 | 30 | Pere Roca Ristol | |
360 | 43 | Niels Hoffmann | All these mapping services can be used on a dynamic webmapping application like [OpenLayers](http://openlayers.org/.) |
361 | 30 | Pere Roca Ristol | |
362 | 1 | Andreas Kohlbecker | |
363 | The question is that, if desired, we return back not an image but a file that specifies the path to the XML that is used for layer symbolization. |
||
364 | 31 | Pere Roca Ristol | |
365 | 32 | Pere Roca Ristol | |
366 | 31 | Pere Roca Ristol | With some little javascript coding you can get dynamic maps (zoom in/out, panning...). |
367 | 1 | Andreas Kohlbecker | |
368 | 30 | Pere Roca Ristol | |
369 | Some EDIT dataportals using this technology are PalmWeb (http://dev.e-taxonomy.eu/dataportal/palmae/) and Cichorieae (http://dev.e-taxonomy.eu/dataportal/cichorieae/) |
||

372 | How to get this file to be integrated on webmapping application? just specify "img=false" and will get a JSON file that could be something similar to... |
||
373 | 30 | Pere Roca Ristol | |
374 | |||
375 | |||
376 | 34 | Pere Roca Ristol | [{[bbox]("-28.267,27.664,72.65,81.851",) |
377 | 30 | Pere Roca Ristol | |
378 | 36 | Andreas Kohlbecker | [legend]("http://edit.br.fgov.be/edit_wp5/v1/sld/4e9b417a9789481932b57e53c47291c6.sld",) |
379 | 30 | Pere Roca Ristol | |
380 | |||
381 | [layers":[[{"tdwg" "tdwg3""session" """sld" "tdwg3_4e9b417a9789481932b57e53c47291c6sld"}|{"tdwg": "tdwg1","session": "","sld]() "tdwg1_4e9b417a9789481932b57e53c47291c6.sld"}]]}] |
||
382 | |||
383 | |||
384 | |||
385 | As you can see, there is the name of XML (SLD) files that provide symbolization for each of specified TDWG layer. Also the legend is specified there. |
||
386 | |||
387 | |||
388 | With some javascript coding you can get dynamic maps. A big advantage of using these widgets is that they automatically calculate the scale at which the image has to be visualized. |
||
389 | |||
390 | By this way you can avoid distorted images that too often happen with "image" MapRest services. |

400 | 1 | Andreas Kohlbecker | |
401 | MapRest services also can plot occurrences. Just specify each point data coordinates (in latitude/longitude) |
||
402 | |||
403 | |||
404 | 33 | Pere Roca Ristol | This service is subject to changes soon. |
405 | 32 | Pere Roca Ristol | |
406 | 33 | Pere Roca Ristol | |
407 | 32 | Pere Roca Ristol | Current symbolization parameters are: |
408 | 17 | Andreas Müller | |
409 | 1 | Andreas Kohlbecker | |
410 | 32 | Pere Roca Ristol | -symbol: you can choose "c" (a circle), "s" (a star), and "sq" (square) |
411 | 20 | Pere Roca Ristol | |
412 | 10 | Andreas Kohlbecker | |
413 | 32 | Pere Roca Ristol | -symbol size |
414 | 10 | Andreas Kohlbecker | |
415 | 13 | Andreas Kohlbecker | |
416 | -a name to be used on the legend |
||
417 | 1 | Andreas Kohlbecker | |
418 | |||
419 | 10 | Andreas Kohlbecker | |
420 | 32 | Pere Roca Ristol | |
421 | 33 | Pere Roca Ristol | Also a "q_layer" has to be specified. It must be the same than the background layer and is used to calculate the bbox. |
422 | 1 | Andreas Kohlbecker | |
423 | |||
424 | |||
425 | 34 | Pere Roca Ristol | ATBI sites like Gemer (http://www.atbi.eu/gemer/) and Mercantour/Alpi-Marittime (http://www.atbi.eu/mercantour-marittime/) are already using this service. |
426 | 33 | Pere Roca Ristol | |
427 | |||
428 | 1 | Andreas Kohlbecker | Also point occurrences can be mapped on a dynamic webmapping application but it is still not implemented. |
