Mining Map Interaction Semantics in web-based Geographic Information Systems (WebGIS) for Usability Analysis

Web-based Geographic Information Systems and their Usability

Usability of web-based geographic information systems (GIS) applications is very important because these applications are mostly focused on end users, i.e. on people who may have only a very limited knowledge of GIS, if any. Many various usability evaluation methods have been developed. Some of them involve real users or their representatives, some of them are based only on GIS experts evaluati...

Web-Based Instruction in Geographic Information Systems

Multi-agent Systems for Web-Based Map Information Retrieval

Many types of information are geographically referenced and interactive maps provide a natural user interface to such data. However, map presentation in geographical information systems (GIS) and on the internet is closely related to traditional cartography and provides a very limited interactive experience. We present the MAPBOT, a web-based map information retrieval system to search geographi...

Data mining for the analysis of content interaction in web-based learning and training systems

Data mining is based on the detection and extraction of knowledge from a database. Web usage mining is a special form of data mining to address behavior in web sites. Web usage mining shall be proposed as the central, non-intrusive and objective evaluation technique for the analysis of the usage of web-based learning and training systems and in particular of the interaction with educational con...

Building GML-native web-based geographic information systems

Disaster response systems are designed to facilitate decision-making based on large amounts of heterogeneous geographic information. Most geographic information systems (GISs) use relational databases to manipulate information efficiently. However, they suffer from interoperability issues because they need to expend significant effort mapping heterogeneous geographic information, which may have...
