For users to want to use BiodiversityAtlas data in different programs, or want to build on top of them, we want to provide an API. One cool advantage os basing our work on Geoserver is that we get all OGC standards right away, so expect WMS and WFS services from the project.WMS (Web Map Service)If you have a GIS software WMS aware you can access all our data. The capabilities of our server can be found at: WFS ( Web Feature Service)The same applies to WFS. Here is our capabilities document Image APIWe want to simplify the way users can access the image, WMS can be complicated, we are creating like a proxy to generate simple URLs for the distributions. Expect URLs like: biodiversityatlas.com/api?feature=distribution&taxonName=Luzula&format=png WidgetsThe idea is to create widgets like YouTube that you use to embed BA in a blog or a web page |
