Web GIS applications can be found in many domains. The quality of the interfaces of applications determines not only the usability of such applications, but the possibilities offered to their users. This work investigates aspects of interface quality for Web GIS applications. The approach adopts an inspection evaluation based on ISO 9241. Preliminary results show the effectiveness of such an ap...

We present a GIS database of solar radiation and photovoltaic (PV) potential estimations of 10 European Union Candidate Countries created to support. The database was integrated with a web application to provide access also for a broad public. An application was developed to browse and query GIS maps and to do a simple calculation for any location in the region. The established web site provide...

In the domain of housing market analyses decision makers typically are supported by Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The new Web Processing Service (WPS) standard of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) offers nowadays the possibility to realize GIS analysis functionalities also on the Internet via a standardized interface. In this article we present how we applied the WPS specification fo...

One of the major obstacles for the mobile GIS development is the immature in database design. For this consideration, a new mobile data model based on a mobile view of spatio-temporal and attribute model is proposed. A temporal database is designed in physicality for the implementation on conceptual model. It is a proactive approach continuously updating the related spatiotemporal and attribute...

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are moving from isolated, standalone, monolithic, proprietary systems working in a client-server architecture to smaller web-based applications and components offering specific geo-processing functionality and transparently exchanging data among them. Interoperability is at the core of this new web services model. Compliance with Open Specifications (OS) ena...

The advent of the Internet and the World Wide Web have given rise to a wide variety of distributed applications, one being geographic information systems (GIS). Query and analysis are at the heart of GIS, but the heterogeneous environment of the WWW requires openness in terms of hardware and software. As a result a distributed open spatial query mechanism was designed to provide access to vario...

The main objective of this study is to develop a prototype model of Web-based Geographic Information System (GIS) application for efficient management of borehole and geological data. More than 10,000 boreholes and other geological data were archived into the database and Web-based GIS system was implemented for a local urban area of Seoul in Korea. A standard form of borehole data was suggeste...

There is an increasing interest in agent-oriented technology, spanning applications as diverse as information retrieval, user interface design and network management. Application of intelligent agents in the GIS environment is actively being explored. Many different types of agents are being employed to improve usability of GIS software as well as users access to geospatial data and services av...
