Pozi Publisher
Pozi Publisher standardises a wide range of spatial information from inside and outside your organisation into easily digestible map catalogues that integrate seamlessly into Pozi Web GIS.
#
Working with Catalogues
A map catalogue is a collection of map layers, typically in XML format generated by a WFS GetCapabilities
or QGIS GetProjectSettings
.
The catalogue is the unit around which the Pozi Publisher workflow is based, either generating catalogues from various sources, modifying catalogues for specific use cases, or extracting information from catalogues.
