OpenLayers

OpenLayers is a Javascript library that can display map tiles and markers loaded from any source in web browser. It provides an API for building rich web-based geographic applications. OpenLayers makes it easy to put a dynamic map in any web page. It can display map tiles, vector data and markers loaded from any source. OpenLayers has been developed to further the use of geographic information of all kinds.

Modest Maps

Modest Maps is a small Javascript library for interactive tile-based maps that can display maps from external sources (e.g. OpenStreetMap, but not commercial layers like Google Maps), enable panning and zooming, and track the position of points based on XML data. It is designed to be lightweight and offer a minimal set of features, and therefore has less functionality than Leaflet, a similar tool.

GeoRSS

Geographically Encoded Objects for RSS feeds. GeoRSS was designed as a lightweight, community driven way to extend existing feeds with geographic information. As RSS and Atom become more prevalent as a way to publish and share information, it becomes increasingly important that location is described in an interoperable manner so that applications can request, aggregate, share and map geographically tagged feeds.RSS Map of Digital Humanities centers Two primary GeoRSS encoding exist, including GeoRSS Geography Markup Language (GML) and GeoRSS Simple. GeoRSS-Simple is a lightweight format that supports basic geometries of point, line, box, polygon. GeoRSS GML is a Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) GML Application Profile, and supports a greater range of features than GeoRSS Simple.

DataTank

The DataTank is an open source tool that publishes data, stored in text-based files (e.g., CSV, XML, JSON) or in binary structures (e.g., SHP files, relational databases). The DataTank reads data from these structures and publishes them to the web using a URI as an identifier, providing these data in any format a user wants regardless of the original data structure. The DataTank requires a server with Apache2 or Nginx, mod rewrite enabled, PHP 5.4 or higher, Git, any database supported by Laravel 4. Features Turn any dataset into a RESTful HTTP API Allows published data to be requested in any web-readable format or visualization Improves the ease, openness, and transparency of data consumption Enables data consumers to immediately begin working, without needing to download raw data files Provides visualizations for immediate data interpretation and information gathering by civilians Resources The DataTank demo Documentation GitHub

CartoDB

CartoDB makes data-driven map visualisation tool. It's very easy to upload a couple of spreadsheets of data, with latitudes and longitudes or addresses, and turn them into clickable markers on maps. There are several types of pre-canned visualisation, such as categories, choropleths or even animated "torque" maps. It's also a sophisticated platform allowing complex visualisations to be built up using Javascript and the CartoDB API.
