Efficient data management requires a timely availability and completeness of information in the form acceptable for its efficient application. The concept of dynamic temporal and spatial data presentations on the Web has shown to be the best solution for satisfying such requirements. This concept has been applied in the development of an integrated Information system for temporal and spatial presentation of complex data [1]. The Information system possesses the main characteristics of both the Geographic Information System (GIS) and DataBase Management System (DBMS). Based on the performed GIS-DBMS integration, it is possible to analyze all the necessary types of information, so that presentations such as maps, statistical reports, time series diagrams and others could be obtained. In this paper, the most significant aspects of the development of the integrated Information system by using the Object-Oriented (OO) approach and modern technologies have been brought out. Attention is also paid to the description of its interactive dynamic Web application, which enables a timely availability of relevant temporal and spatial presentations. Examples of the Web application deal with the problems from the multidisciplinary field of environmental protection [1, 2].
