Sažetak
A lot of crucial information, especially in communications and computer networks, utilities or transportation networks is geographically referenced. GIS is a set of software tools used to input, store, manipulate, analyze and display geographical information. This is a technical definition, which may emphasize the historical development of GIS into a combination of CAD and digital cartography software with integrated database capabilities. A majority of tasks in GIS are data analysis and management oriented decisions for purposes such as planning, report producing, data visualization, and maintenance. Therefore users want a GIS that enables browsing and analyzing data through a computer network using a uniform interface. The World Wide Web is a promising new media for cartography. Its allows the creation of interactive maps that can be accessed by the general public. This paper describes the results of the CARNet (Croatian Academic and Research Network) WebGIS project. The goal of this ongoing project is to determine possibilities of GIS on the Web, review state-of-the-art products and establish a GIS oriented Web site.
