Trust in Web GIS: the role of the trustee attributes in the design of trustworthy Web GIS applications

International Journal of Geographical Information Science, 2011
Since the introduction of Xerox PARC Map Viewer, there is a high growth in the number of Web GIS (Geographical Information System) applications for public use in different contexts. These applications instruct, advise and provide the tools for spatial analysis to their users, and the people who use them depend or rely on these systems.

Web GIS: Implementation issues

Chinese Geographical Science, 2000
With the rapid expansion and development of Internet and WWW (World Wide Web or Web), Web GIS (Web Geographical Information System) is becoming ever more popular and as a result numerous sites have added GIS capability on their Web sites. In this paper, the reasons behind developing a Web GIS instead of a “traditional” GIS are first outlined.

Towards the automatic generation of web GIS

Proceedings of the 15th annual ACM international symposium on Advances in geographic information systems, 2007
In the present paper, we propose an approach for the development of Web GIS based on WebML, a high-level, formal visual language specifically conceived to design data-intensive Web applications. The proposal is motivated by the observation that Web GIS can be considered as a particular class of data-intensive Web applications. In the paper, we describe

Web GIS and Mapping

2013
The Internet and web-based technology has dramatically influenced the access to and dissemination of information among communities, locally and globally. This is no less true in the domain of geographic information systems (GIS) which have traditionally been constrained in terms of information access and the communities that use them.

The role of the map in a Web-GIS environment

Journal of Geographical Systems, 2004
The World Wide Web has changed the perspective on the role that maps can play. Their traditional function remains, e.g. to represent an abstraction of a selected part of reality to offer insight into geospatial patterns and relations. Additionally the map can be an important part of a search engine, especially in the context of geospatial data ...

Spatial QBE Interface for Web GIS

The Fifth International Conference on Computer and Information Technology (CIT'05), 2005
Many applications use geographic data, such as land management, urban planning, tourism, vehicle guidance and navigation, and e-commerce. A related research problem is to define user-friendly interfaces for Web GIS. There is a need for the definition of simple and user-friendly interfaces to allow the users to pose ad-hoc queries. Query-by-example (QBE)
