Résumé

The Internet and the World Wide Web are revolutionizing GIS and spatial data usage in fundamental ways: by allowing easier and wider distribution of data and functionality to end users, and by facilitating integration of data and functionality into other applications, to mention only two. GIS Web services are a natural progression in the development of GIS, continuing a long tradition of leveraging new computer technologies to improve the way spatial data can be managed, accessed and analyzed by a wide audience.

Connecting Our World: GIS Web Services examines a dozen of the most innovative ways that GIS Web services are being disseminated and are drawn from around the world. They encompass national mapping service delivery in New Zealand, digital map creation for on-the-run journalists in the U.S., and location-based services in Scandinavia. Connecting Our World: GIS Web Services is an essential guide for forward-thinking managers in any enterprise who are interested in fully leveraging the power of spatial data and information.
