Web-Based GIS/Database (WebGD) Framework and WebGD Application
Generator (WebGD-GEN)
During the last four years, we have been working on
our WebGD framework and WebGD application generator (WebGD-GEN).
These software tools allow major parts of advanced Web-based GIS/
database
applications, including the map interfaces, to be created automatically.
The applications generated supports the following unique features.
1) Geographical features and the data associated with them can be
entered, searched, updated, and deleted from standard Web browsers.
2) The map projection used to display a particular region
in the world can be automatically switched to avoid map
distortion.
3) An application can be customized with configuration files,
and Web scripts can be automatically generated from
a relational database schema. Thus, a WbGD application
can be created without any programming, except for
the scripts that are hooked to the automatically
generated scripts. Application specific processing
can be handled by the scripts hooked.
In my presentaion, the organization of a typical WebGD application
and the design of the WebGD framework and WebGD-GEN
are explained. I then will demonstrate several WebGD applications
developed with our tools.
