Study Notes
Web GIS and Evolution of the World Wide Web
- Web GIS is a distributed information system with a GIS server and a client, such as a web browser, desktop, or mobile application.
- Internet GIS is broader than Web GIS and encompasses various services, while Geoweb merges geospatial and non-geospatial information.
- The World Wide Web was created by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN in 1989 and opened to the public in 1991, evolving into a dominant software platform.
- Web 1.0 was focused on read-only pages, Web 2.0 introduced interactivity and user-generated content, and Web 3.0 is focused on technologies like machine learning and AI.
- Web 2.0 is characterized by dynamic or user-generated content, social media growth, and multi-directional flow of information.
- Web 3.0 is a work in progress, with a focus on providing relevant content using technologies like machine learning and AI.
- Web maps are interactive displays of geographic information used to tell stories and answer questions.
- Web mapping platforms differ based on when cartography is executed and the level of interactivity.
- Key characteristics of web maps include the interactive display of geographic information to tell stories and answer questions.
- Web mapping platforms differentiate based on when cartography is executed and the level of interactivity.
- Differentiated web mapping platforms include preexisting maps and custom-tailored maps.
- Web maps can have low, medium, or high levels of interactivity, with high interactivity allowing features like flying around the world in Google Earth.
