dc.description.abstract |
There has been an increasing need for geospatial information that is delivered through internet
technologies. This broad category of systems is referred to as Web Geographic Information Systems (Web
GIS). These systems exhibit characteristics common to both stand-alone and web-based systems making it
necessary to apply a hybrid methodology during their development. This paper proposes a methodology for
developing Web GIS that is herein referred to as the Y-Model Web GIS Development Methodology
(YWDM) which has been adapted from existing software development methodologies and applied to the
context of Web GIS development. The paper outlines in details the phases of the methodology. Its viability
as a methodology has been tested through its use in the implementation of the Emuhaya Web GIS portal.
The methodology presented here is not intended to be a rigid guide for web GIS development but instead it
provides a useful framework for guiding the process. |
