Oracle Maps is also integrated with the new Web 2.0 portal framework known as Oracle WebCenter. This allows users to place an Oracle Maps application in a portlet that supports customization and personalization. Thus an application can support geographic extents per user whereby only certain users can see certain geographies of a project. There are plans to support GeoRSS by extending WebCenter’s RSS support, but no delivery date is confirmed at this time.
Tasks that you may have considered development efforts unto themselves now have solutions offered as part of the Oracle Maps API. All it takes to include them in the finished product is a few lines of Java code. Oracle's intention is that Oracle Maps be included within a business intelligence application. And given the large suite of applications Oracle has available, the company can now deliver the capability to spatially enable any number of its enterprise applications.
