Concepts and Applications of Web GIS


Book Description

Evolution of open-source web GIS technology in integration with contemporary commercial solutions not only provides an immediate solution at every level of small and medium-sized industry but also attracted students/scholars from a diverse background (Computer Science, Information Technology, Electronics, Civil Engineering, Geography, Geomatics, Earth Sciences, Hydrology etc) who are interested in making their carrier in different government (ISRO, DRDO, NIC, State Disaster Mitigation Centers, State Remote Sensing Centers etc) and private organisations (ESRI, Hexagon, Wipro, TCS etc). Proposed publication Concepts and Application of Web GIS emphasises both the basic principles and practical application of Web GIS technology for estimating the developments and advances about the use of both the commercial and open source Web GIS technology. It starts with describing the evolution of Web GIS technology, depicts its important uses/application in integration with Remote Sensing & GIS, discuss the role of Web GIS technology in current Smart City Services and E-Governance solutions and guide new developer to establish a complete Web GIS solution for their desired problem. Overall the book is a comprehensive solution for academia, commercial and planning community, which fills a long felt gap in the field of Geoinformatics and Web GIS community. Chapters written by active researchers presented in a way accessible to a public beyond those who are specialists in the topic dealt. Beside these, it will prove as a valuable reference book for graduation as well as post-graduation students to cover the syllabi related to technologies for GIS and Web GIS.




GIS for Web Developers


Book Description

With this book readers can become real geographic programmers using the Java programming language. They will find working code examples in Java using some of the many GIS-oriented applications and APIs, and be able to display GIS data on the Web, manipulate GIS data, and programmatically store and retrieve it in geographically enabled databases.




Introduction to Web Mapping


Book Description

A web map is an interactive display of geographic information, in the form of a web page, that you can use to tell stories and answer questions. Web maps have numerous advantages over traditional mapping techniques, such as the ability to display up-to-date or even real-time information, easy distribution to end users, and highly customized interactive content. Introduction to Web Mapping teaches you how to develop online interactive web maps and web mapping applications, using standard web technologies: HTML, CSS and JavaScript. The core technologies are introduced in Chapters 1-5, focusing on the specific aspects which are most relevant to web mapping. Chapters 6-13 then implement the material and demonstrate key concepts for building and publishing interactive web maps.
