Mehmet Şahin, Murat Yakar · 2021
WebGIS allows everybody to reach geo-spatial data. It creates a rapid and advanced environment without place, time and the limitations of high processing power and high client computer. WebGIS, reshapes and makes use of all computer functions including gathering attribute data, storing, acquiring, analyzing and visualizing. WebGIS was employing the internet based maps and client-server architecture in order to provide these facilities to all. This architecture, however, has been switched to service oriented architecture, not being able to meet cope with, increasing data volume and number of access requests. Service oriented architecture, provides a service system, dynamic, elastic and re-contractible where meeting with different users. Also this improves the decision making progresses by spreading spatial information. This article analyzes WebGIS architectures and Technologies by emphasizing architecture.
