IGIBS is going to try (I say try advisedly, as this is a project) to create a tool to allow the semi-automatic creation of an OGC Web Map Service (WMS). This will allow users to publish their data for viewing in a variety of WMS clients, one of which will be a demonstration mapping application we create. This page will have a technical focus and will be used to report bugs, progress, planning, etc. The idea is that as the project matures, this is where we collect information on:

• Recommendations for what is necessary to take the “WMS factory” tool
  into production (if its doable)
• Suggestions for enhancements to the relevant components of the UK
  academic SDI
• Suggestions for next steps to take the mapping application forward
