This paper describes the usability evaluation of a WebGIS. The system under evaluation has been developed for a real-world community in the Swiss canton of Vaud, namely, for people who are involved in wine making. The system’s usability is tested with users from this community. The goal of the study is to validate hypotheses and answer research questions focusing on users’ performance and speci...

This papers aims to establish a road traffic management system for Dalian based on GIS and WebGIS technologies. First, based on the map of Dalian, digital road network database is constructed within GIS, and visualized database management programs are developed to realize a Graphic Use Interface (GUI) style query and maintenance of road and traffic information. Further, in order do network anal...

This paper reports about an experience concerning the implementation of a WEBGIS, a BLOG and an ontology. WEBGIS and BLOG allow to promote a spread of spatial data knowledge, to consult planning documents in the Internet, increasing transparency level of programming choices and involving different stakeholders participation. The ontology is intended as an in progress powerful tool, increasing k...

WebGIS (also known as web-based GIS and Internet GIS) denotes a type of Geographic Information System (GIS), whose client is implemented in a Web browser. WebGISs have been developed and used extensively in real-world applications. However, when such a complex web-based system involves the dissemination of large volumes of data and/or massive user interactions, its performance can become an iss...

Our objective was to develop an interactive information and visualization framework for Floridas wetlands. We standardized and integrated 2,130 geo-referenced point observations of 78 different physical, chemical, and biological attributes collected in Florida's wetlands from 1987 to present. A Web-based GIS tool was created with ArcIMS to augment these point observations with other GIS layers ...
