ABSTRACT
The rapid development of
the technology of the web systems and GIS, in conjunction with the world
economic crisis, formed the content for the promotion and development of free
systems and open-source technologies. At the same time, the tendency toward the
standardization of data, metadata and services, with the aim of creating common
“Language” for the reading and the dissemination of information available, is a
basic research area in the global scientific community in this field. The
development of WebGIS systems, taking advantage of the free technology, also
contributes to finding more economical solutions, where the use of such systems
is more directly accessible. The aim of this research work is, through the
analysis of technologies for the Internet, and also the architecture of the
WebGIS systems, to investigate the possibilities and to develop the appropriate
free technologies, so as to design and implement a spatial content management
system for the web. Search with the use of the latter, is the best response to
the needs and visualization application maps, with scope in rural areas. In
addition, reference is made to the existing content management systems, which
provide both processing spatial data, and easily create a WebGIS application.
