Geo.admin.ch, in particular the map viewer of the Geoportal Bund https://map.geo.admin.ch, is being used actively (80K visits/day) by the public, authorities and third parties in version mf-geoadmin3 and covers all functions according to the currently valid NGDI concept.
geo.admin.ch receives a large number of feature requests, both from inside federal offices and from the broader open-source community. At the same time, backend, services and viewer (frameworks version used such as angular, python, cesium etc ) of mf-geoadmin3 are at the end of their life cycle and must be replaced. We bring together representatives from authorites coordinating agency for Federal geographical information, GCG, and engineering to prioritize this list. As new projects come into the queue, we regularly position them based on relative priority to other projects. As work gets done, projects will move up in the queue.
The projects below are not associated with a particular map.geo.admin.ch version. We'll release them on completion, and they will be part of a specific version based on our release schedule, following semantic versioning. For example, features are released in the next minor after they are complete, or the next major if they include breaking changes.
We are setting up JS Code Structure, a bare map viewer with panning and investigate PWA technologies. This includes a set up of CI/CD and deployment processes. To ease collaboration , basic documentation is implemented
A basic viewer consisting of basic Permalink,/ URL mgmt., basic dataset mgmt., basic infoboxes (incl improvements), basic drawing, basic iFrame support and basic 3D.
