Developer’s Corner: Using Default ImageMosaic CQL filter in GeoServer

Dear All,in this post we would like to describe how we did help our FAO colleagues with managing their huge ImageMosaics (containing multiple dimensions) by implementing an ImageMosaic improvement for GeoServer (2.2.x and 2.3.x) that allows to specify a default value for the Filter parameter it exposes.Before proceeding it is worth to provide some background information on how to create an ImageMosaic with additional dimensions (a-la WMS). Here below you can find some videos that shows how to do that.The ImageMosaic plugin gives you the possibility to configure a mosaic using an index that contains additional attributes which can be used to...

Saving the world one application at a time: Atlas of Tuna and Billfish Catches

This blog post covers some work we have done to support the FAO Fishery and Acqualture Department, specifically the FIGIS group with information dissemination about catches of Tuna and Billfish over the last 60 years globally. As stated on their website:"... the Atlas presents the global distribution of catches by gear from 1950 to 2010, at 5° latitude by 5° longitude resolution, of those tuna and tuna-like species for which this distribution is generally well known on the global scale. These species consist of the so-called principal market tunas and some billfishes."Using Geoserver, OpenLayers and Ext-JS, we built for them a simplfied viewer that allow users to access dynamically their statistics and...

Supporting FAO Fishery department with a custom GeoServer DataStore for Oracle

GeoSolutions is collaborating with FAO Fishery department in order to improve the statistical GIS application "Atlas of Tuna and Billfish Catches".The interactive version of the Atlas of Tuna and Billfish Catches presents the global distribution of 1950 to 2003 catches, at 5° latitude by 5° longitude resolution, of those tuna and tuna-like species for which this distribution is generally well known on the global scale. These species consist of the so-called principal market tunas and some billfishes.Its refactoring mainly consists into switching the actual architecture which produces static snapshots of the statistic requested by the users through a parameter selection...
