Moxi Media originally developed the Internet Mapping Framework (IMF) under contract to the Province of British Columbia to provide its government departments with a consistent interface, a reusable set of tools and routines, and a supportable infrastructure for their web mapping applications.
The IMF is platform independent, and will run under a variety of web servers and servlet engines on Windows, UNIX or Linux servers.
It is a set of Java Server Page (JSP) scripts, Java servlet classes, and a custom Java object model which runs on a central Internet server to provide a consistent set of functions and interfaces suitable for all spatial data. The IMF also includes image files used by the web site template, as well as complete documentation.
The IMF is deployed as an Application Service Provider model application whereby it is installed on only one centralized server, but its services are available to any agency within an organization. Your developers don't even need access to the IMF server to deploy a new Internet mapping application. This approach facilitates an infrastructure for application management, support, and maintenance.
The IMF has built-in image forwarding capability to allow it to display images that originate from secure servers without exposing the services to the public.
