GPSter:Locative - Main.GPSter

GPSter is our public locative information sharing database project.
GPSter attempts to collect small or inaccessible point lists into a live and accessable database that can be addressed, added to, and searched in every format we can manage. GPSter has also provided an optional gateway/transcoder to other geospatial content aggregators like GeoURL (not presently online).
Using a database with a public interface, waypoints in GPSter are represented in a consistent format, and are available for searching and downloading with a variety of interfaces for a variety of uses, such as map augmentation (see GPS3d ) and local information sharing via PDAs. This also allows real-time updates in the same fashion, so users can upload their waypoints to share with friends and the world.
For examples of GPSter usage, see the search and add waypoint forms on this website.
Implementations
GPSter series 1
perl and mysql v2.23. GPSter is an online public database accessable through clients like Geograffiti, geoclient, the Songlines project series, gps3d as well as a web interface. Includes support for several output formats, such as html, NMEA and XML. When available, GPSter can forward and retreive content from GEOurl with no additional requests from the client.
This database has a search interface and an add waypoint interface available publically online. Other clients can be found in the download section, and more information about the database design at GPSterDatabase.
GISter
postgreSQL+postGIS extentions, perl. Used for the Where-fi wireless positioning project. PostgreSQL allows for better geometric objects and functions in the database. Some information about the postgreSQL tables in the GISterDatabase.
GPSter series 2
mysql and php. Simple and light geospatial database engine for public release. REST-style HTTP interface, output formats in html, locative packets (XML/RDF), and GPSterML (XML). See GPSter2 for more info and current status.
Digital Cities
postgreSQL and postGIS with php, designed for the MDCN projects Digital Cities, Global Heart Rate, MC3, and several Concordia University capstone projects. See DigitalCities for the database design.
