[Geoserver-users] GeoServer and Conventional Data - WMS

Hello everyone,

My name is Dominique. I want to use GeoServer in a Project. I want to create WMS for diplaying geographical information of Costa Rica, but additionally, I’d like to display conventional data, let’s say demography information.

What I want to know is if I can do that with GeoServer. Is it possible? E.g. I’d like to have a WMS that provides the geom of the province but also, I’d like to display the amount of births on 2005.

I want to use GeoServer as the server layer and I want to create an application with OpenLayers where I can see the WMS.

Is GeoServer good enough to do that? What would you suggest?

I’d appreciate any kind of help (papers, blogs, books, whatever you help me to understand).

Thank you so much.

Best Regards,

GeoServer can do it to an extent I believe, though if you want to serve the raw stats you’d be better suited with some other application (although you could probably cludge something up with WFS).

However if you want the stats overlaid on the map, that’s easy (it’s just a text label).

You may also be interested in the chart extension:

Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for replying. You’re right! I would like to display the information over the map. I’ll take a look at the char extension.

The image on the link that you sent is pretty similar to what I want to do.

Thank you so much!

All the best,
