What is the best web editor and server for postgis?

Question

I'm looking for a web editor (similar to openstreetmap) that works with an map Server (postGIS). This should permit edit and create new structures on map. What is the best option? Can you help me?

Thank you for your time.

Answer 1

If it must be a web editor then GeoDjango comes with this functionality. The admin feature permits basic editing of map features. It is possible to incorporate the built-in editing functions into your own pages.

Answer 2

Openlayers comes with editing tools http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/editingtoolbar.html

If your know drupal then there is a nice OpenLayers Editor (beta3)

OpenLayers Editor is a web-based tool for easy and precise creation of spatial data. It is build purely with HTML and JavaScript and thus runs on the desktop and mobile devices without plug-ins. This module simply adds an additional behavior to the OpenLayers module characterized by the following features.

Answer 3

The OpenGeo Suite has a web editor in the form of GeoExplorer. Just add your PostGIS data to the Geoserver component. Load the GeoServer layers in GeoExplorer and edit away.

You can add and edit symbols/icons using the Layer Styles option.
