In the present paper, we propose an approach for the development of Web GIS based on WebML, a high-level, formal visual language specifically conceived to design data-intensive Web applications. The proposal is motivated by the observation that Web GIS can be considered as a particular class of data-intensive Web applications. In the paper, we describe the extension of the visual formalism for modeling relevant interaction and navigation operations typical of Web GIS.
