AstroWeb – A Graphical Representation of an Astronomical WFPDB Database Using a Web-Based Open Source Geographical Information System
ACM Computing Classification System (1998): H.5.2, H.2.8, J.2, H.5.3. The purpose of this study is to present the open-source Map-Server and the way it can be used as a Web-based Geographic Information System. The MapServer object model is analyzed and algorithms are proposed for geo-referenced spatial data dynamic representation. The results of this analysis are used in the development of our application called AstroWeb. AstroWeb presents graphically the application data of the Plate...
