Abstract:

Major GIS software programs can deliver GIS services to the user over the Internet. This capability is based on CGI (Common Gateway Interface) technology, which requires a skilled programmer to operate both the server and the GIS software for successful data transfer. In this paper, a more efficient approach is introduced using extended HTML technology, which integrates GIS into Apache, a popular www server. A GIS user with modest training can use an HTML editor to easily create interactive mapping homepages on this "built-in" wwwGIS server. Public domain software and data sets have been used to implement the prototype system, thus requiring fewer resources. This project successfully demonstrates a new generation of GIS development.
