What is MapGuide Open Source MapGuide Open Source is a web-based platform that enables users to quickly develop and deploy web mapping applications and geospatial web services. - http://mapguide.osgeo.org/

What’s MapGuide Enterprise / Open Source? A new spatial application server that allows developers to quickly publish maps and spatial applications to the web. Components: Server Web Extensions (for application development) Studio (for map authoring) Viewers Site Administrator MapGuide OpenSource = open source version Autodesk® MapGuide Enterprise = commercial version Autodesk® MapGuide Studio = commercial authoring tool

What’s In MapGuide OpenSource? (open source version) Basic components Core server technology Web Extensions Viewers Site Administrator FDO providers for SDF and SHP FDO providers for ODBC, ArcSDE, MySQL, GDAL Raster, WMS, WFS Open source availability means Freely downloadable code Open, collaborative software development (to come) Provided under an open source license (LGPL)

Reasons to use MapGuide Open Source? Lower Cost of Ownership Support for the Linux operating system and Apache web server gives you a choice of platform, which can reduce your ongoing system costs. Also, the new Resource Database in Autodesk MapGuide Enterprise allows you to create libraries of layers that can be shared by many maps. Change the layer once and all of your maps are instantly updated. Apache Web Server Linux

Reasons to use MapGuide Open Source? Easier Data Access with FDO (Feature Data Objects) Easy Access to Geospatial Data (includes both vector and raster formats. It support ESRI SHP and SDF vector file format, ESRI ArcSDE, MySQL, Oracle Spatial, ODBC database formats etc ) Rich and Consistent Data Access Platform and Technology Neutrality Extensibility via Open Source Open to the World through OGC support
