 ===== Visualization of Moving Objects on the Web =====
-<TBD>
+There are several open source platforms for publishing spatial data and interactive mapping applications to the web. Two populars ones are [[https://mapserver.org/|MapServer]] and [[http://geoserver.org/|GeoServer]], which are written, respectively, in C and in Java.
+Newer platforms exists, such as [[https://kepler.gl/|kepler.gl]], which were designed for handling large-scale data sets.
+However, these platforms are used for static spatial data and are unable to cope with moving objects. The goal of the project is to extend one of these platforms with spatio-temporal data types in order to be able to display animated maps.
