'''MapGuide Open Source''' is a web-based [[Cartography|map-making]] platform that enables users to quickly develop and deploy web mapping applications and geospatial web services. The application was introduced as [[open source]] by [[Autodesk]] in November 2005, and the code was contributed to the [[Open Source Geospatial Foundation]] in March 2006 under the [[GNU Lesser General Public License|GNU LGPL]]. The current version is 2.0, released [[February 29]], [[2008]].

MapGuide features an interactive viewer that includes support for feature selection, property inspection, map tips, and operations such as buffer, select within, and measure. MapGuide includes an [[XML]] database for storing and managing content, and supports most common geospatial file formats, databases, and standards. The MapGuide platform can be deployed on [[Linux]] or [[Microsoft Windows]], supports [[Apache HTTP Server|Apache]] and [[Internet Information Services|IIS]] web servers, and offers extensive [[PHP]], [[.NET Framework|.NET]], [[Java (programming language)|Java]], and [[JavaScript]] [[Application programming interface|APIs]] for application development.
