Kartolog - smart tile cache

Dražen Odobašić, Faculty of Geodesy, University Zagreb

Details about the talk:
Existing tile caching software, TileCache, MapProxy, GeoWebCache, etc. enables users efficient tile cache management. Kartolog started as a proof of concept for creating 'smart' tilecache which stores metadata for each tile in cache
which is later used to improve and simplify tile management.

Kartolog uses standard WMS interface to serve combinations of layers as precached stored tiles in predefined tile matrix. Kartolog is implemented using Tornado as HTTP server, MongoDB for storage and Mapnik as a rendering backend.
