GEOSPATIAL SERVICES & WEB GIS SOFTWARE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROBLEMS

Software design and development of web-based geographic information systems and cartographic services for environmental monitoring problems are discussed. List of requirements for appropriate information & communication infrastructure has been formulated. It includes a number of items, such as organization of the technological environment for the integration of generated information resources, design and implementation of environmental monitoring facilities databases, development of new computational and mathematical models and methods for environmental monitoring data interpretation, etc. Integrated web based geographic information system for environmental monitoring in the area of oil and gas industry in Krasnoyarsk region territory is presented. The developed software is based on the leading GIS and web mapping technologies, frameworks and toolboxes, free and open source software libraries. In particular, we discuss developed software components, such as web interface for spatial metadata catalog, web mapping interactive tools, map data direct access by OGC protocols, specific services for ecological web applications, geoportal programming interfaces.
