Abstract:
Geographic Information Systems on the web (web GIS) are currently implemented for different purposes. This paper presents a framework to develop web GIS with free and open source software, for interoperability between different sources of heterogeneous data, as well as the visualization of maps in different formats with components implemented with a Web 2.0 concept. We present two case studies that implemented a web GIS to Japan International Cooperation Agency – JICA together with the Secretary of Planning and Modernization of Public Management by the Government of the State of Tocantins – Seplan-TO and a web GIS for the Brazilian Institute of the Environment and Renewable Natural Resources – IBAMA.
