On the basis of shortage existing in traditional WebGIS, this paper puts forward a novel WebGIS framework based on REST (Representational State Transfer) and RIA (Rich Internet Application). The framework combines REST with Web Services. As all business data and server-side functionality components have been published into web services with a unified interface through the REST way, the problems of poor user experience, system isomeric compatibility, system integration and mutual operation etc. are solved. The conclusion means a great deal to construct and run the WebGIS with high quality and efficiency.
