Abstract: | 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. Then the current status
of Web GIS is reviewed, and their implementation methodologies are explored as well. The underlying technologies for developing
Web GIS, such as Web Server, Web browser, CGI (Common Gateway Interface), Java, ActiveX, are discussed, and some typical implementation
tools from both commercial and public domain are given as well. Finally, the future development direction of Web GIS is predicted.
