Abstract

This paper describes a new approach for public dissemination of digital map data - here environmental datasets - data through an interactive web-based non-proprietary system. The aim of the system called EnviroMap is to provide a platform in which holders of environmental data can publish a version of their data and data seekers get access to these data. Data users can freely access and use the data with standard Java enabled web browsers. Data providers can upload their data through using an free upload tool. (Therefore the data sets to be published have to be converted into a standard raster file format based on a common map projection (here the Austrian Lambert conformal conic projection) and a predefined cell size - here 250x250m. The advantages of EnviroMap are that users do not need GIS expertise for usage, and that data holders can use the system for making accessible an "EnviroMap raster version" of their original GIS data and thus advertising the availibility of original data. Because data are manipulated as data stream the response time are very short.
