The worldKit is a unique and remarkable flash app, with many possible configurations. <br> ><br> > Does it scale? This depends upon the application and configuration of course. IMHO, extremely large scale worldKit <br>> deployment is possible with dynamic generation of its files: the HTML page with embedded worldKit, XML configuration file,<br>> GeoRSS feeds, JPEG images from Web Map Services (WMS) like ArcIMS with Tomcat or the MapServer project from U <br>> of MN, supported by a backend database-based application development platform (like Ruby on Rails). The degree of scale <br>> possible is only limited by the ability to implement and deploy all these parts. The key is how
worldKit uses geographic <br>> coordinates, and the ability to geo-reference the images that it displays.<br><br>Totally. I think that's the beauty of GeoRSS and WMS -- they're damn simple communication method and allows integration with all sorts of systems.<br><br>Mapserver and the geospatial web stack is an interesting direction. The newly formed Open Source Geospatial Foundation<br><span> [ <a target="_blank" href="https://www.osgeo.org/">https://www.osgeo.org/</a> ] may be a future venue for worldKit.</span><br><br>Cheers, Mikel<br> <br></div></div></div></body></html>
