Design and Prototype Implementation of Geo-browser Linked to Open Source-based DBMS and Middleware

According to the recent trend on advancement of web computing technologies and diversification of spatial data types to be processed, designing and implementing of web-based applications using open sources has been regarded as one of important users-needs. In this study, a kind of geo-browser model composed of client-middleware-DBMS stack is suggested, and the prototype implementation are performed. Especially, modularization of user interfaces is contributed to increase both applicability for a certain target system and accessibility for web users. In middleware, it has functions to decrease erroneous factors on spatial data registration processes, and provides spatial data the form of OGC WxS standards. It is thought that this system is helpful to utilize as basic architecture and the related implementation model for web-based geo-spatial services and their applications.
