MOST IMPORTANT FEATURES
MAP
-
The map functionality is provided by OpenLayers5 or CesiumJs and extended by some controls like search bar, GPS and compass tracking etc. It supports multi-touch gestures.
Layer manager and legend
Layer manager is used for listing all the map layers, displaying or hiding them and setting the transparency. The user can view layers metadata and attribution by clicking on it.
OGC Web Services parser
This is used for GetCapabilities requests to different map servers and parsing the response. It can then be used for automatic or user initiated generation of map layers only by knowing the URL to the specific OGC standardized map service.
Linked Open Data explorer
Eurostat explorer is a demo application (module) which queries Semantic Web data sources via SPARQL endpoints. It demonstrates the feasibility of automatic query building for Eurostat report data and displaying it on a map of NUTS2 regions (specified in GeoJSON file) according to the calculated transparency ratios
