Abstract The paper deals with the performance testing of web mapping services. The paper describes map service tests in which it is possible to determine the performance characteristics of a map service, depending on the location and scale of the map. The implementation of the test is tailored to the Web Map Service specifications provided by the Open Geospatial Consortium. The practical experiment consists of testing the map composition acquired from OpenStreetMap data for the area of southwestern Slovakia. These tests permit checking the performance of services in different positions, verifying the configuration of services, the composition of a map, and the visualization of geodata. The task of this paper is to also highlight the fact that it is not sufficient to only interpret a map service performance with conventional indicators. A map service’s performance should be linked to information about the map’s scale and location.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Multilingualization of geographical name information has been required to support foreign visitors to the Olympic Games and the Paralympic Games to be held in Tokyo in 2020 and to correspond to the rapid increase of foreign visitors in recent years. GSI has prepared geographical name information in English and it has been already released. To expand this effort, we have conducted the experiment to translate geographical name information in Japanese and English into French, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese automatically and to prepare a multilingual map using vector tile format. To be specific, we prepared transformation rules for translation of geographical name information, and implemented the Javascript codes of transformation rules to deploy in combination with the existing Javascript library group which controls display on the web map. Thus, we developed a web map system which automatically generates geographical name information in these targeted languages on web browsers.</p>

Nondissipative or Hamiltonian systems are also capable of chaos as phase space volume is twisted and folded in area-preserving maps like the Standard Map. When nonintegrable terms are added to a potential function, Hamiltonian chaos emerges. The Standard Map (also known as the Chirikov map) for a periodically kicked rigid rotator provides a simple model with which to explore the emergence of Hamiltonian chaos as well as the KAM theory of islands of stability. A periodically kicked harmonic oscillator displays extended chaos in the web map. Hamiltonian classical chaos makes a direct connection to quantum chaos, which is illustrated using the chaotic stadium, for which quantum scars are associated with periodic classical orbits in the stadium.

Abstract This article introduces two new tools developed to enhance drought impacts monitoring by citizen scientists. In collaboration with the National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS), the National Drought Mitigation Center (NDMC), and the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow (CoCoRaHS) network, the Carolinas Integrated Sciences and Assessments (CISA) developed an experimental method of drought monitoring and reporting by citizen scientists. Since 2013, CISA has recruited CoCoRaHS observers in the Carolinas to participate in “condition monitoring,” the regular reporting of local conditions. In contrast to intermittent drought impact reports, condition monitoring creates a baseline for comparison of change through time and improves understanding of the onset, intensification, and recovery of drought. A project evaluation demonstrated the usefulness of the qualitative reports, while also identifying a need for improved accessibility to the information and a quantitative metric to more quickly assess changing conditions. Evaluation findings informed the development of 1) a condition monitoring scale bar for inclusion on the national CoCoRaHS reporting form and 2) a web map to spatially display the condition monitoring reports. CoCoRaHS observers use the scale bar to record their assessment of local conditions, ranging from severely wet to severely dry. Their qualitative reports provide more in-depth information about their selection, noting the effects of weather and climate on the environment and communities in their area. The web map provides an easily accessible format for users such as the State Climate Offices to view the reports, facilitating the incorporation of CoCoRaHS observations into drought monitoring processes.

In the article, authors have analyzed cartographic materials presenting the spatial development of Gliwice with the use of multimedia tools. The materials prove that this area has played an important part in the road system of the region, country and even part of Europe since the 19th century. The six maps from the studied area were analyzed e.g., the Urmesstischblätter map, polish topographic maps, and the OpenStreetMap. Based on these maps and their legends, vectorization of the main roads of the analyzed area was carried out. The evolution of the main road corridors on the six maps was analyzed with respect to the location of the European freeway junction (A1/A4), constituting a basis for the web map. According to the authors, the use of the interactive web map is the most comprehensive method of all technologies used by modern cartography. Spatial data collected from different cartographic publications (from the first half of the 19th century till the present) consider the most significant aspects of changes in the road network of the analyzed area in a detailed and user-friendly way.

The development of web-GIS for operational visualization and analysis of the hydrological threats is one of the main ways to improve the monitoring and forecasting of hazardous hydrological events (HHE). This paper considers the structure and content of the online web map service for monitoring snow cover and HHE in the Kama river basin (http://hydromonitor.maps.psu.ru/). The regional departments of the Russian hydro-meteorological service, Kama Basin Water Administration and other institutions interested in operational obtaining of the hydrological information can successfully use the developed web map service. Basic and thematic layers are distinguished in the structure of the web map service. Thematic layers include daily updated monitoring and modelling outputs and other data (that does not require regular updating). The layers of river basins and observational network (weather stations and gauging stations) of the Russian hydro-meteorological service are the information basis of the service. The GIS layers of flooded settlements, locations of ice jams formation on the rivers, HHE and flood zones in floodplains have been created on the basis of the analysis of scientific publications, hydrological gauges, flood damage reports in media and satellite images. The database of HHE includes 97 records (75 HHE), which happened in 63 settlements. Most of HHE causing significant damage were occurred in the Belaya river basin, and the largest areas of flooded floodplain are also located in the same basin. Also, the simulated characteristics of snow cover (snow water equivalent, meltwater outflow and snow-covered area) are published on the web map service. The input data for calculations are daily forecasts of the air temperature, humidity, wind speed and precipitation by numerical weather prediction models ICON (Germany) and GFS (USA), as well as weather station data. The data are updated daily, and their spatial resolution is 3 km.

Widely used across disciplines such as natural resources, social sciences, public health, humanities, and economics, spatial data is an important component in many studies and has promoted interdisciplinary research development. Though an institutional data repository provides a great solution for data curation, preservation, and sharing, it usually lacks the spatial visualization capability, which limits the use of spatial data to professionals. To increase the impact of research-generated spatial data and truly turn them into digital maps for a broader user base, we have designed and developed the workflow and cyberinfrastructure to extend the current capability of our institutional data repository by visualizing the spatial data on the web. In this project, we added a GIS server to the original institutional data repository cyberinfrastructure, which enables web map services. Then, through a web mapping API, we visualized the spatial data as an interactive web map and embedded in the data repository web page. From the user’s perspective, researchers can still identify, cite and reuse the dataset by downloading the data and metadata and the DOI offered by the data repository. General information users can also browse the web maps to find location-based information. In addition, these data was ingested into the spatial data portal to increase the discoverability for spatial information users. Initial usage statistics suggest that this cyberinfrastructure has greatly improved the spatial data usage and extended the institutional data repository to facilitate spatial data sharing.
