Reusable, Accessible, Mapping Platform (RAMP)

What is the RAMP?

A collaborative open source project led by Environment Canada.
RAMP provides the ability to rapidly deploy a theme based Web Mapping application, or to support the implementation of a dynamic Web Mapping viewer.
Built off of the ESRI JavaScript API, but strives for platform neutrality.
