MapServer is a set of Open Source tools for building spatially-enabled web mapping applications and web services. MapServer applications - usually refered as "web mapping applications" or "webGIS" - deploy as major advantages:

Geographic data centralization No setup is needed at the end user's machine - instant access through web browsers Interoperability - allows to integrate different GIS dataset on an unique enviroment

Features

• supports dozens of industry standard raster and vector formats: including local files, webservices and spatial databases (ArcSDE, Oracle Spatial, PostGIS, MySQL & ODBC)
• automatic Legend, Scale Bar and Reference Map generation
• on-the-fly projection for vector and raster data
• on-the-fly classification and resampling of raster data
• scale based rules for rendering objects
• sophisticated rule-based labeling system
• TrueType labeling and support for curved labels
• spatial and attribute-based query support
• OGC compliance: WMS, WFS, WCS, WMC, GML, SLD & Filter Encoding
• MapScript API - brings up MapServer objects available for programming languages (.NET, PHP, Python, Java, Ruby and Perl)
