I will be presenting my project "Map Application" to all of you.
Following
are the relevant details.
Map Application
*Mentors: *Stéphane Laurière, Ecaterina Moraru
*Technologies:* JavaScript, Velocity, Java, Leaflet, other if required
Overview
This project is about the development of interactive maps in XWiki.
Creation of an application within XWiki that will allow users to generate
interactive maps which support collaboration and are easy to create so
that
locations can be shared, and areas can be
associated with structured
data.
This application will open several possibilities that can be utilized
within XWiki and broaden the overall scope by allowing map rich wikis
where
locations and areas can be presented in a way
that will increase the
understandability of data.
It will also allow for the sharing of custom map related data which would
be very helpful since users and admins will be able to present locations
in
an information rich map environment which will be
interactive.
Features
area
*Markers and popups* - Place markers anywhere on
the map and associate
popups with them.
*Path between two points* - A path will be
generated by the application
linking two points of interest.
*Location search* - Search any location on the
map.
*Filtered list maps* - Allow the user to search for a specific kind of
place (e.g.
restaurants) and get a list of locations to choose from.
Through the content available and binded to a location, the user will be
able to learn some aspects of the location.
> *Custom shapes* - Custom shapes can be used to highlight a specific for representation. The content associated with
these shapes can give
useful information about the area.
> *Indoor maps* - Such maps will be able to describe the internal
structure
or fair plan of a building or structure. They can
be used to guide users
in
a big building and locate point of interests.
mobile
*Maps on mobile* - Special design arrangements
will be made for easily
viewing of maps and availing all the features of the
application on devices.
better
*Custom map backgrounds* - Custom backgrounds
will make the environment
of interactive maps much suitable for a specific purpose
If you have any features in mind that will make the Map Application please feel free to reply to this mail.
This is all for the summary of the project, if you want to have a more
deeper insight, please check out the full proposal.
