The Internet and the World Wide Web
are revolutionizing GIS and spatial data usage in fundamental ways: by
allowing easier and wider distribution of data and functionality to end
users, and by facilitating integration of data and functionality into
other applications, to mention only two. GIS Web services are a natural
progression in the development of GIS, continuing a long tradition of
leveraging new computer technologies to improve the way spatial data can
be managed, accessed and analyzed by a wide audience.
Connecting Our World: GIS Web Services
examines a dozen of the most innovative ways that GIS Web services are being
disseminated and are drawn from around the world. They encompass national
mapping service delivery in New Zealand, digital map creation for on-the-run
journalists in the U.S., and location-based services in Scandinavia.
Connecting Our World: GIS Web Services is an essential guide for
forward-thinking managers in any enterprise who are interested in fully
leveraging the power of spatial data and information.
