This chapter describes a prototype Web geographic information system (GIS) and spatial model application for mapping person crime rates in Brisbane, Australia. Our application, which integrates GIS functionality, a clustering model, client/server technology and the Internet, can generate useful documents such as maps and tables to examine and present crime patterns in space and time. Our chapter also demonstrates the usefulness and appeal of the Web GIS application as an information dissemination and spatial data analysis tool for promoting public awareness of social conditions. This chapter argues that Web-based data access is a better approach to delivering large volumes of crime data and geographical information to the public. We expect that police, community workers and citizens could utilize the application and associated maps to facilitate and enhance crime prevention activities. We note, however, that further development of Web-based GIS applications need to answer a number of pertinent questions regarding system maintenance, data integrity and neighborhood crime prevention.

Geographic Information System (GIS) is a tool used for capture, storage, manipulation, query and presentation of spatial data that have applicability in diverse fields. Web GIS has put GIS on Web, that made it available to common public which was earlier used by few elite users. In the present paper, development of Web GIS frameworks has been explained that provide the requisite knowledge for creating Web based GIS applications. Open Source Software (OSS) have been used to develop two Web GIS frameworks. In first Web GIS framework, WAMP server, ALOV, Quantum GIS and MySQL have been used while in second Web GIS framework, Apache Tomcat server, GeoServer, Quantum GIS, PostgreSQL and PostGIS have been used. These two Web GIS frameworks have been critically compared to bring out the suitability of each for a particular application as well as their performance. This will assist users in selecting the most suitable one for a particular Web GIS application.

The Web

With the implementation specification of the Web Processing Service (WPS), a standard to process spatial data on the web is available from the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). This new possibility in web-based information systems allow an interoperable processing of different data based on service-oriented architectures. This paper describes requirements and an implementation for web-based processing and workflow creation to generate and provide remote sensing products like fire hotspot points and land surface temperatures based on NASA MODIS data. Therefore, a WPS as well as service chains to process these remote sensing products are implemented. PyWPS is used as WPS and tested with focus on processing remote sensing data. To chain the developed processes, software like 52° North Orchestration Engine, Apache ODE and internal software for executing processing chains and providing a workflow as WPS process are tested. A Web-GIS with open-source software was developed to manage started and finished processes, to search for available satellite data and to create processing chains interactively. An interface to retrieve and process archived data was integrated; the user of this system can search interactively for archived satellite data and process it with the developed processing services and workflows. The Web-GIS also acts as a WPS client, client for visualizing processed data and creator as well as security layer for processing chains. These developments and research work show that there is additional work to improve the WPS specification for example by adding domain-specific profiles for working with large raster data to define standardised rules for data-exchange between the processes. In the field of process orchestration, no standardised data format describing processing chains exists yet.

Abstract. A Web-GIS wildfire prevention and management platform (AEGIS) was developed as an integrated and easy-to-use decision support tool (http://aegis.aegean.gr). The AEGIS platform assists with early fire warning, fire planning, fire control and coordination of firefighting forces by providing access to information that is essential for wildfire management. Databases were created with spatial and non-spatial data to support key system functionalities. Updated land use/land cover maps were produced by combining field inventory data with high resolution multispectral satellite images (RapidEye) to be used as inputs in fire propagation modeling with the Minimum Travel Time algorithm. End users provide a minimum number of inputs such as fire duration, ignition point and weather information to conduct a fire simulation. AEGIS offers three types of simulations; i.e. single-fire propagations, conditional burn probabilities and at the landscape-level, similar to the FlamMap fire behavior modeling software. Artificial neural networks (ANN) were utilized for wildfire ignition risk assessment based on various parameters, training methods, activation functions, pre-processing methods and network structures. The combination of ANNs and expected burned area maps produced an integrated output map for fire danger prediction. The system also incorporates weather measurements from remote automatic weather stations and weather forecast maps. The structure of the algorithms relies on parallel processing techniques (i.e. High Performance Computing and Cloud Computing) that ensure computational power and speed. All AEGIS functionalities are accessible to authorized end users through a web-based graphical user interface. An innovative mobile application, AEGIS App, acts as a complementary tool to the web-based version of the system.

Cultural Artefact

This paper proposes an emblematic project where several multi-sensor strategies for spatial data acquisition and management, range based and image based, were combined to create a series of integrated territorial and architectural scale products characterized by a rich multi-content nature. The work presented here was finalized in a test site that is composed by an ensemble of diversified cultural deposits; the objects that were surveyed and modelled range from the landscape with its widespread mining sites, the main tower with its defensive role, the urban configuration of the settlement, the building systems and techniques, a medieval mine. For this reason, the <i>Rocca of San Silvestro</i> represented a perfect test case, due to its complex and multi-stratified character. This archaeological site is a medieval fortified village near the municipality of Campiglia Marittima (LI), Italy. The Rocca is part of an Archaeological Mines Park and is included in the <i>Parchi della Val di Cornia</i> (a system of archaeological parks, natural parks and museums in the south-west of Tuscany). The fundamental role of a deep knowledge about a cultural artefact before the planning of a restoration and valorisation project is globally recognized; the qualitative and quantitative knowledge provided by geomatics techniques is part of this process. The paper will present the different techniques that were used, the products that were obtained and will focus on some mapping and WEB GIS applications and analyses that were performed and considerations that were made.

Methods for creating multi-layered mapping representation for the real-time satellite monitoring systems, based on web-GIS technologies, are considered. The generated map can contain a set of raster and vector thematic layers of spatial data, additional information layers of images from below (a basic map - a substrate) and from above (a layer of labels) of user’s thematic data. The client software provides interactivity of the created maps in a standard web browser. The configuration of the data presentation provides the ability to select spatial data format according to the client (vector or raster), control various display options (interactive legend, list of fields displayed in attribute tables). It also provides application of custom templates to display table information on layer objects, arrangement of data access rights - from opportunities to visualize a layer or map through a web browser to providing direct access to them through standard mapping WMS/WFS web services, web-based editing, or shape-file downloads. An integral part of thematic web maps, based on the geo-portal, is a customized rasterization and data caching service that provides a noticeable performance increase for "heavy" multi-layer maps. A set of mapping substrates, such as schematic maps, satellite images mosaics, digital terrain models, spatial data of outside web services are a good addition to maps on geoportal.
