THE DEVELOPMENT OF WEB MAPPING APPLICATION USING OPEN SOURCE GIS SOLUTION
Xianfeng Song, Yasuyuki Kono, Mamoru Shibayama · 2004
The Open Source GIS Software is growing in popularity within geo-informatics community. The software with a strong momentum, such as Minnesota Mapserver, PostgreSQL/PostGIS, GRASS GIS, and GDAL/OGR packages, have begun offering a technically competitive and open-source alternative solution to the proprietary software. This paper illustrates such an Open Source solution to web mapping service, by which the data preprocess and the construction of prototype system both used merely open source GIS software. Although this system serves Environment Cambodia on the Web, the methodology can be applied elsewhere for similar processes.
