The presentation will focus on the use of MapStore as web gis framework to create a modular, reproducible, simple yet powerful dashboard to visualize crime data (but in reality many different types of location based data) leveraging on GeoServer and PostGIS advanced functionalities. We will describe the main steps for creating such an infrastructure leveraging on the MapStore components and framework then we will cover how the existing dashboard template can be configured to work with your own data sources (eventually touching the needed processing steps for the data itself) including GeoServer and PostGIS advanced functionalities.
We will eventually discuss further improvements and new features to evolve the current capabilities to capture new and emerging requirements.
The goal of this presentation is twofold, on one side we are addressing developers in order to show them advanced usage of MapStore to develop compelling applications on the other side we will be addressing power users and system administrators willing to deploy the Crime Mapping dashboard to make their own data available without writing code.
