UMN MapServer
From GISWiki
MapServer is an open source development environment for building spatially-enabled internet applications. It can run as a CGI program or via Mapscript which supports several programming languages. MapServer was developed by the University of Minnesota. MapServer was originally developed with support from NASA, which needed a way to make its satellite imagery available to the public.[1]

Technical
MapServer supports Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standards, including Web Map Service (WMS) and Web Feature Service (WFS). MapServer works with PostgreSQL and its PostGIS extension, and supports proprietary GIS formats including ESRI's Shapefile format. MapServer uses OGR and GDAL libraries to translate files from one file format to another. MapServer supports PHP, Python, Perl, Ruby, Java, and C# for scripting and customization.

Tools
- AveiN! - Mapserver Extension for ArcView GIS 3.x
- AmeiN! - die UMN Extension for ArcGIS 9, Download and Informationen at http://www.terrestris.de or sourceforge.
- MapStorer, einer webbasierten Anwendung, die Mapfiles in einer MySQL-Datenbank vorhält und die sich von dort editieren lassen, lassen sich Projekte leichter verwalten.
- Mapdesk, welches auch auf der bekannten GIS-Knoppix zu.
- Maplab von DM Solution
- Studenten der hft-stuttgart.de haben Tools zur Erzeugung von Mapfiles geschrieben:
1. aus GeoMedia Professional (VG-Erweiterung)
2. aus MapInfo Professional (MapBasic, Arbeit wird derzeit abgeschlossen).
siehe http://intevation.de/pipermail/mapserver-de/2005-March/001134.html - Zusammen mit dem normalen Download des UMN MapServer-Pakets (inkl. Sourcen), gibt es übrigens auch ein Kommandozeilen-Tool namens 'shape2img'.
- QGIS (www.qgis.org) kann auch Mapfiles exportieren, es kommt aber eher was bescheidenes raus.
- Mapfile Highlighting für kate Martin Weis hat ein highlighting-file für den Editor kate geschrieben. Damit kann man map-files, die der UMN Mapserver verarbeitet, besser editieren.
