Abstract:
In order to display and observe some special data on a map,the researchers proposes a lightweight and effective Geographic Information System(GIS) over distributed environment, which can be integrated in other cloud computing system easily. The lightweight distributed geographic information system (LDGIS) acted as a service on the distributed platform. The researchers developed a Web Map Service (WMS) program conducting large tile file to service. The GIS
provided essential functions such show maps and Data, while further options like drawing and editing are not given. The researcher will show how to construct and implement this System in this paper.
