A Generic Map Interface to Query Geographic Information Using the World Wide Web

Abstract

Environmental information is intrinsically geographically-related. It pertains to a specific region of the earth. Users of such information require answers to questions that have a geographic basis. The Environmental Resources Information Network [8] Unit has developed a generic WWW map interface using a collection of simple map images and a standard lookup table to provide visual interactive access to geographically-related information. The map interface provides a generic mechanism to define a region of interest before selecting from various online forms interfaces to geographic information such as biological species distributions, a spatial data set directory, project information, bibliographies, and general textual indices of WWW documents.
