Abstract
Geographical information systems (GIS) are becoming a common tool in applications that involve spatial objects and relations. In the last years the internet technology is moving GIS towards web based applications, simplifying the interaction between users and GIS, and at the same time reducing the ownership and maintenance costs. In the framework of caENTI we are developing a Web Mapping solution to present selected socio-economic indicators of European Union in the form of Interactive map. Indicators will be presented in different levels of detail (from NUTS0 to LAU2).
In the time of writing this article Interactive map is in the final stages of development. The development software has been already selected and tested. The selection of data and metadata is completed, however all the data is not processed yet. Map built on Web Mapping software GeoServer and JavaScript web environment (including the Map Tools library OpenLayers) is in the final stage of development, some tools are in preparation, refinements are in progress.
Key words
