Uncertainty Module

• Purpose: displays uncertainty information of sensor observations retrieved from a SOS.
• Developer: Karthikeyan B. G.
• Details: FAQ (Installation, Versions, ...)

MapViewer Module

• Description: The MapViewer Portlet allows users to see cartographic data on a specific domain in a configured area. Supported data are OGC Webservices: WMS, WMS-T (WMS with a time extension), WFS and SOS.
• Contact: Florian Husson (BRGM)
• Details: FAQ (Installation, Versions, ...)
• Relevant Deliverables:
  • Deliverable 2.3 / Section 4.6.3.1 & 5.3.1 (under release process)
• Access to Source: http://kenai.com/projects/envision/sources/portal/show/portlets/MapViewer-portlet

ChartViewer Module

• Description: The ChartViewer Portlet is used in association with the MapViewer Portlet. It is used to display observation data via SOS based Web Services.
• Contact: Florian Husson (BRGM)
• Details: FAQ (Installation, Versions, ...)
• Relevant Deliverables:
  • Deliverable 2.3 / Section 5.3.2 (under release process)
• Access to Source: http://kenai.com/projects/envision/sources/portal/show/portlets/chartViewer-portlet

TimeController Module

• Description: The TimeController Portlet can only be used with the MapViewer Portlet. It allows the end user to control the display of a WMS-Time on the map, by choosing the time range of the data he wants to see.
• Contact: Florian Husson (BRGM)
• Details: FAQ (Installation, Versions, ...)
• Relevant Deliverables:
  • Deliverable 2.3 / Section 5.3.3 (under release process)
• Access to Source: http://kenai.com/projects/envision/sources/portal/show/portlets/TimeController

Visual OntoBridge Module

• Description: In order to support efficient browse and search through resources and to enable efficient composition and execution of Web services, the resources need to be semantically annotated, i.e., interlinked with a set of domain-ontology elements. Formulating annotations in one of the formal languages is not a trivial task and requires specific expertise. OntoBridge allows the user to pose natural-language queries to retrieve ontology elements that serve as building blocks and thus ease the task of defining semantic annotations.
• Contact: Miha Grcar (JSI)

  • Deliverable D4.4 (available at M24)
