Interdisciplinary research projects with environmental focus need an information technology which is capable of describing the flow of minerals and other substances with respect to space and time. Especially time dependencies are of great interest in many environmental studies, where changes can often be shown only via trend analysis of time series. A suitable technology must also supply method...

An Enterprise Web GIS Solution combines the knowledge of complex GIS systems with the standards and best practices of Information Technology to design and implement an end-to-end system that deliver geospatial data services, tools and applications on the web. In order to design an optimal solution that fits well with an enterprise workflow and provide robust, reliable, responsive and scalable m...

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have increased its popularity for some time now, specially in the context of mobile devices. There are many disciplines and companies improving their workflow by using GIS on devices with geolocation features. To satisfy the emergent demand, lots of web-based GIS applications are being developed. These applications diverge in their target and context, but th...

Cutting-edge tourism portals have to integrate GIS information. However, GIS data formats differ from usual tourism portal data formats. In this paper we propose a web application architecture which uses GIS as a main information resource and therefore diverges from standard web application architectures. GIS data as well as relational data is wrapped into XML and processed by an XSLT processor...

BACKGROUND Effective environmental data management is meaningful for human health. In the past, environmental data management involved developing a specific environmental data management system, but this method often lacks real-time data retrieving and sharing/interoperating capability. With the development of information technology, a Geospatial Service Web method is proposed that can be emplo...

Urban environments like city centers are recognized as one of the most complex systems for modeling. Because of their high density of big buildings as well as their complicated processes, there is the strong need for planning and managing properly. Here, the heavy trend towards web-enabled systems can help to improve communication, organization and decision-making in favor. In the field of urba...
