Abstract

A number of Java applets and related GIS software applications have recently begun to emerge on the world wide web, with varying utility to potential users. The authors discuss their investigations and experience with GIS software currently available on the web and propose a methodology and inexpensive software approach to putting thematic maps on the WWW. The Interactive Map Applet, currently in its prepublication phase, allows users to easily get out interactive maps on the web from their existing databases, without a need for any special server software. The authors discuss the architectural aspects and implementation of the Interactive Map Applet system and compare it to other approaches. Applet Demo: http://www.vttco.jp/staff/soroMn/mt/index.html.
