Paper Summary:

Geographic Information System (GIS) is an organized collection of computer hardware, software, geographic data and personnel designed to efficiently capture, store, update, manipulate, analyze and display all forms of geographically referenced information. The paper shows that the rapid developments in computer and communication technology have changed many aspects in human life. The Internet, being one of the major developments in information technology, has a growing demand for applications such as the Internet-based GIS. This paper contains description and background of Internet-based GIS. It also examines and describes several of the techniques, applications, and approaches that can be used to develop Internet-based GIS.

From the Paper:

"A direct-access GIS application is delivered through a specific software product. It enables the user to directly manipulate and retrieve data. If offline, working with locally stored data is possible. Direct-access GIS applications are installed on the user's computer either as java applet or as a full software. ArcExplorer is an example of a direct-access GIS used especially for intranet system based data sharing. It doesn't take too much disk space and allows preparing graphics and inserting maps in word-processing documents. ArcExplorer can be installed as stand-alone application or as ActiveX plug-in to a Web browser. (Weise, Ulrike, Internet GIS)"
