WebGIS 2.0 as approach for flexible web-based map application

Abstract

The paper introduces the term "WebGIS 2.0". From a stylistic point of view, the WebGIS 2.0 concept combines two separate ideas, WebGIS and Web 2.0. From a technological point of view this concept combines the latest methods in the GIT context and, in principle, is based on the methods of service-oriented architecture and the Internet as a platform, Rich Internet Application, and Cloud Computing. The article focuses on the deployment of Crismapp platform - an WebGIS 2.0 application aids on the crisis management purposes. Technologically the concept is based on the Service-oriented architecture and Rich Internet Application concept. It follows re-location of both general IT and geospatial tools and solution from desktop to web (cloud) platform. It handles with state-of-the-art web technologies (HTML5/CSS3) and geo-standards (OGC Web Services, GeoJSON) with respect to user-centered design. WebGIS 2.0 concept aimed to demonstrate the difference in understanding of GIS - not only technological movement from the desktop platform into the Internet but the primary orientation to the user and user's needs and behavior. Flexible concept allows the deployment in different areas, deployment of pilot clients is described on four scenarios.
