GeoQ is an Open Source (MIT License) application developed by NGA and available on GitHub. The GeoQ platform can be accessed from any HTML5 device and promotes crowd sourcing, common workflow, common SOM (points, lines, polygons), real-time collaboration, easy access to non-traditional/evolving data sources/services/software, ABI and OBP. The code has been maximized for cloud operation and rapid integration of open standards data.

Technical Information:

  1. The code was written with both JavaScript (jQuery and Bootstrap) and Python programming languages.
  2. The Django Web framework was leveraged to encourage rapid development and clean, pragmatic design.
  3. PostgreSQL was used as the open source database
  4. Leaflet was selected as the modern open-source JavaScript mapping library due to its light weight and mobile-friendly interactive maps
  5. GeoQ can be fielded into production environments using web servers such as Apache or NGINX
  6. Required and optional plugins include: Leaflet.draw, Leaflet.MakiMarkers, Django-guardian, South, PostGIS and geojson
  7. GeoQ is highly integrated with other NGA Github repositories: _GeoEvents _and gamification. (we are working with DICE)
  8. Easily integrated with: GeoServer, GeoWebCache, QGIS, Boundless Stack, GeoExplorer, GeoNode, GeoGit
