Guidelines for designing web maps : an academic experience
Rocha Salamanca, Luz Angela
Nowadays Internet has been one of the most important tools for the dissemination and visualization of spatial data. However it is significant to improve the visualization techniques and increment the role of the organizations that produces spatial data. The process of the web map production and design, involves a series of activities starting for the definition of the type of web map to be created (dynamic or static) including the implementation of on line Geographic Information System (GIS), which allows the interaction between the user and the map. The methodology and model created to web map design by the research group is an academic product that could be an applicable tool that supports the producers of web maps, without experiences on this topic, in creating dynamic maps according technical specifications in order to have a good product with high quality visualization techniques and graphical representation. This paper presents one of the second phase results of a research project called Web tourist atlas of San Andrrss which main goal was to create a model for web map production, based on international standards and applying concepts of GIS on line.
