I am working on this project (well not yet a project. It's more like a feasibility study...) on developing a program that could be web-based and can draw "interactive maps". By this I mean I want to give the user the ability to see the results of analysis on a map and also be able to interact with them. This interaction would primarily be just getting information about that entity (or it's atrributes) the attributes are coming from table columns that are coming from a manipulation of data.
My primary goal is to do it with open source programs namely R. I am pretty much sure that I can do my analysis (in this case a multiple regression over some variables) and derive the column and results and plot it in R. But I can seem to find a way to be able to create an environment in which the user can interact with the map i.e. interactive maps. This is considered a preliminary task in any GIS software and I have done this with for example ArcGIS from ESRI but doing it with the other tools especially the glorious open sources like R has been unsuccessfull for me so far.
In this blog I will try to summarize whatever I find in the course of my search to find out how I can create interactive maps.
