Web GIS
Introduction
The Web GIS is one of the Geoinformation Technology
fields.
The basic tasks of Web GIS are:
•
Visualization - spatial representation of
the existing information
• Simplification of work with the spatial information in
a web;
• Managements and publication of spatial data,
search and other services based on a site of objects
(LBS - location based services)

Web GIS
What Is The Internet?
• A vast network connecting computers
throughout the world...
–
…so that those
computers and
their contents
are easily
accessible to
each other

Web GIS
Client/Server Architecture
• At least two computers involved
– SERVER: computer that houses centralized
programs and data
– CLIENT: user’s computer connected to a
server
• Communicate over a network
– LAN, WAN, the Internet
– Communication built on TCP/IP

Conclusion
Creating of centralized WebGIS database will
lead to success in every field of work related
to spatial analysis. After completing of the
module WebGIS you can build your own map
in Internet with different attribute data. It
means that you will be architecture but not
client (user) of this product.
The Laboratory exercise and assignment you can find in
the folder \\gisnet\Pi_webGIS\
