要旨
The Open Source GIS Software is growing in popularity within geo-informatics community. The software with a strong momentum, such as Minnesota Mapserver, PostgreSQL/PostGIS, GRASS GIS, and GDAL/OGR packages, have begun offering a technically competitive and open-source alternative solution to the proprietary software. This paper illustrates such an Open Source GIS solution to Web mapping service, by which the data preprocess and the construction of prototype system both used merely open source GIS software. Although this system serves Environmental Cambodia on the Web, the methodology can be applied elsewhere for similar processes.
