MapServer

MapServer is an open source development environment for building Web mapping applications. This software delivers on-line, interactive GIS and image processing information quickly and reliably. MapServer was originally developed by the University of Minnesota, and is now maintained by a worldwide community of developers and users.

Finance Maps uses an existing public mapserver run by the extremely kind folks at DM Solutions in Ottawa, Canada. If you know of another public mapserver which supports SLD and has a clean, political layer which can be used to present the information currently displayed on the Finance Maps website - please let us know so we can ease the burden on their server and add some variety to our maps as well.

For each request to the website - Finance Maps retrieves the latest financial information available, performs calculations to determine the various percentage changes during the day, renders an XML SLD file and then passes this information on to the mapserver. Thanks to the magic of the Internet - this entire process takes place in a matter of seconds. Open source mapping software is pretty cool!
