Summary

This project is the brainchild of the Economics Bureau and the Office of eDiplomacy at the US Department of State. Basically, we're taking what used to be a monthly memo about projects around the world currently in the pipeline, and mapping them. The added value from State is trade leads from posts.

This project is in its infancy but its going somewhere good.

Tech Details

• We're using the OpenGeo suite to make the map interface
• The webpage itself is all the javascript we put here on this git

API Details

• The GeoServer has a WFS with which you can interface
• The contents of the response to a WFS request are described in the Database Contents page
• When issuing WFS requests, standard WFS filter structure applies
• The WFS host is edip-maps.net, with path /geoserver/opengeo. The OGC WFS Standard Document is pretty useless in terms of clarity, so check the GeoServer WFS Reference and check out the examples below to get started.
• A couple examples:
• Here's how you get all the database in json
• Here's how you get all the database in csv
