Oskari is a Finnish open-source tool that allows anyone to create easy-to-use map services for websites. The goal of Oskari is to help businesses and public sector organizations offer better online and mobile map services to consumers and citizens. With Oskari, you can build a whole geoportal service or embed an interactive map to your website. By adding different map layers to the service, customizing the interface and choosing the tools for your application, you can build a map service that is suited exactly to your needs.
Oskari supports the INSPIRE directive of EU and OGC standards. The name Oskari comes from the words open-source map window (open source karttaikkuna).
Oskari is developed together
Oskari is coordinated by the National Land Survey of Finland, but the software is developed according to the open-source principles - anyone can participate in the development. The results of the development work will be published as an open code.
The first versions of the Oskari software date back to 2009. They were created in the context of the piloting and implementation of the National Land Survey of Finland's geographic information portal, the Finnish National Geoportal (Paikkatietoikkuna).
The Oskari community values the contribution of everyone involved in its development. The network has nearly 50 members from both the public and private sectors.
