[okfn-labs] Weave - Open Source Data Visualization

Tue Apr 16 11:36:50 UTC 2013

I work with 17 other organizations across the US with the UMass Lowell
computer science program in the Open Indicators Consortium  to build a cool
OPEN SOURCE Data visualization platform called Weave.  Download from here –
www.oicweave.org  or http://info.oicweave.org   many sample sites listed,
working on Drupal integration, works with PostGRES,. MySql, and
OpenStreetMap.

Join us!

Alex,
CartoDB is awesome but in case you are looking for free stuff you can also
use the (Google) FusionTables
that are less powerfull on the overall geo features but offer a very good
address geocoding

Thanks a lot for your suggestions, i think CartoDB and CKan look like the
best choices for my purpose, i will take a look at them more closely and
come back to you with some observations.

For more advanced customization geo-location aware data management check
CartoDB <http://cartodb.com/>  from Vizzuality. It is a really powerful
framework.

CKAN could be a reaonsable fit there: http://ckan.org/ -

It is python based rather than PHP.
