The INSPIRE geoportal provide the means to search for spatial data sets and spatial data services, and subject to access restrictions, view and download spatial data sets from the EU Member States within the framework of the Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community (INSPIRE) Directive."

Industry: MapFish Studio [+]
The following submission is about MapFish Studio, which was mentioned in last March. What's new is the video (see link below) that demonstrates how easy it is now to build and serve a webmap from scratch using open source geospatial software and a GUI. MapFish Studio is multi-OS. Cedric Moullet writes "Studio, based on MapFish technology, is the new WYSIWYG editor for the creation of web mapping applications. More information here. You can also test it live and really publish your application here (be warned: this is a test Amazon instance, not a production service)." See also related stories below.

MapFish Starts the OSGeo Incubation Process [+]
Cedric Moullet writes "The web 2.0 development framework MapFish will start the OSGEO incubation process. See this blog entry for more information." Part of that entry: " It's now an honour to be recognized on the OSGEO level, together with very well-established Open Source projects. We face now some very interesting challenge like defining the exact content of MapFish, deciding about the license model and the copyright assignment, organizing the PSC and the governance etc, etc... But maybe, the biggest challenge will be to explain what is exactly MapFish and what are its benefits." See also related stories below, MapFish was mentioned quite a few times.
