- ENGLISH VERSION -
Over the last few years, WebGIS have developed rapidly.
Indeed, they allow the delivery of information and the
« mutualisation » of data.
The mission consisted in producing a Webmapping application
for municipal geospatial data consultation. The objective was to develop a web
server application using open source technologies. This application is supposed
to allow a better management and an easier information exploitation.
The set up of a Webmapping application is made easier thanks
to proved open source applications. If, in this type of project, development
competences are needed, the saving realised compared to software producers
solutions potentially allows any interested organisation to equip themselves
with this type of tool which would be adapted to their needs.
I had total freedom on this project right from the start and
had room for manoeuvre in choosing the best suited application, the framework
being already defined in the project specification. After the fast diagnostic
phase related to the material and data, I had to work as an external
provider.
There are currently four main open source solutions allowing
to publish online geospatial data : static HTML, SVG, Java applet, map
server architecture. The choice between the four of them is made easier thanks
to their own limits and the heaviness of their display that allow to
circumscribe each of them to a particular type of use and aim.
Eventually, the UMN Mapserver program and its PHPMapscript API
were selected. After the compilation and integration phase of development
environment and data, the next step consisted in conceiving a web client
interface in accordance with the project specification as far as the navigation
tools and the general ergonomy are concerned.
The interest of such a work lies mainly in the different steps
that had to be taken in order to reach the objectives. Also, the choice of an
application relating to MapServer allowed me to deepen my knowledge of that
environment which remains the best known and the most used system in the
Webmapping field.
