This document discusses Drupal and the geospatial web. It provides examples of how to display maps and geospatial data using different Drupal modules, APIs and standards like Google Maps, Mapnik, GeoRSS, KML, WMS, and WFS. It also discusses open source geospatial communities and argues that understanding the geospatial web is important for building applications for democracy.
