QGIS ArcGIS REST API Connector Plugin: Unterschied zwischen den Versionen

Version vom 5. März 2014, 23:49 Uhr

• A project by Geometa Lab, HSR (and Esri R&D Center Washington DC?)
• Project Lead: Stefan Keller
• Authors/Developers: Rafael Krucker (plus Tobias Schmitz)
• Project start: tbd.

A QGIS Plugin (Python) for reading ArcGIS' "GeoServices REST API".

• Can be used to access ArcGIS Online, Server, and the "Open Data Initiative".
• Priorities: Read-only, accessing vector layers first, then raster.

Functions (similar to WFS) "Add ArcGIS REST Layer...":

• connect/new/edit/delete connection
• load/save connections
• filter layer list
• select layer (then download)

Notes:

• What about managing and storing credentials?
• Download strategy? What about caching?
• See connecting Excel to find/download/edit/upload to GeoCommons [1] and the same for ArcGIS Desktop [2].
