Abstract
This presentation will showcase the use of Oskari (http://oskari.org/oskari) in publishing embedded map applications. The typical use case doesn't require any programming skills. You only need to select the map layers and tools that will be available in the application. After that, you can customize the user interface (size, colors, tool layout etc.). As a result the publishing tool will give you a HTML-snippet to embed to any web site. The supported web services are WMS, WMTS, WFS and Esri REST. If your data is not readily available through a web service, you can import data. Shapefiles, KML, GPX and MID/MIF-files are supported. There's an extensive selection of tools at your disposal: index map, centering to user��s location, address and place name search, attribute table (for vector data) to name a few. Integrating the map application with the surrounding web page makes more advanced use cases possible. All you need is a few lines of JavaScript to use the RPC interface (http://www.oskari.org/documentation/bundles/framework/rpc). With RPCs you can control the map application from the parent document and vice-versa. They can also exchange information. This enables you to develop highly interactive web applications with always up-to-date data. In the presentation an example application made using Oskari and D3 will be showcased.
