City of Tampere
The City of Tampere is one of Oskari's longest-standing users. The City of Tampere Map Service is a public view of the information the city provides to its citizens, but Oskari is also used internally by city officials.
How is Oskari used?
The user IDs of city officials have been integrated into the Oskari installation through role-based management. In this way, data integrity is maintained. The right people are able to edit and view the datasets they are authorised to edit and view.
Tampere provides and maintains a wide range of substantive data in a geospatial format. Through role-based management, this information can also be viewed by their various stakeholders through the map service. More than 1000 different map layers are available for internal use, with about 500 being publicly available.
The City of Tampere was one of the organisations that developed support for hierarchical structures for layer listing functionality in Oskari. The hierarchical structure of layers have been available for all Oskari users since and has been included in the more recent implementation of the layer listing user interface as well.
The Oskari RPC has been used to implement a file download service with a link to the download service. The service provides downloads of aerial photographs and other planning source material.
Who is the map service for?
The main use is for residents, City of Tampere staff and the city stakeholders.
