MapStore has been developed to create, save, browse and share in a simple and intuitive way mashups created using content from sources server like Google Maps, OpenStreetMap, MapQuest or specific servers provided by your organization or anyone else. MapStore consists of two main components as MapManager and GeoStore, respectively front-end and back-end.
The following figure shows the components of the architecture on which the project is based.
MapManager, using a single interface, allow the user to create, delete and search maps, generate an embed link to put a map in a web site, share your own maps with other users. This is performed interacting with GeoStore. MapManager supports both authentication and definition of access policies to protect maps managed by GeoStore.
GeoStore implements a flexible and modular infrastructure developed on top of Java Enterprise technology in order to create, manage, navigate and search map definitions. GeoStore integrates the authentication and authorization management as per Role Based Access Control (RBAC) paradigm. This protects maps from unauthorized access. The standard storage mechanism of GeoStore consists of a DBMS: Oracle and PostgreSQL are supported.
