In an era where data is increasingly becoming open and accessible, leveraging this wealth of information effectively is crucial. Our presentation, "Exploring OpenData: dynamic rendering of OvertureMaps with GeoServer and WFS without local storage," showcases an innovative proof of concept that addresses this need.

This project demonstrates how to efficiently consume and dynamically render geospatial data from OvertureMaps without the necessity of local data storage. By utilizing a Web Feature Service (WFS) gateway, we access OvertureMaps data directly from its original source. This approach eliminates the need for intermediate data storage, reducing overhead and streamlining the process of rendering dynamic maps.

The integration of OvertureMaps with GeoServer through WFS enables real-time data rendering, allowing users to visualize up-to-date geographical information without having to handle large datasets themselves. This method not only enhances data accessibility but also optimizes performance by leveraging the capabilities of GeoServer to render data dynamically on-the-fly.

Our presentation will delve into the technical aspects of implementing this proof of concept, discussing the integration process between OvertureMaps, WFS, and GeoServer.
