Overview:
This course introduces current development of Internet mapping
and advanced cartographic skills for Web-based maps. By using web-authoring
tools (FrontPage XP) and Internet Map servers (ESRI ArcIMS, SmallWorld
Internet Application Server, ER Mapper's Image Web Server, and INTERGRAPH’s GeoMedia WebMap Server),
students can learn both the techniques of Internet mapping and the principles of
interactive cartography, including multimedia, animation, and user interface
design. The lectures will focus on the theories and principles behind the
Internet mapping, including distributed component technologies, graphic designs,
and network communications. The lab exercises will focus on the practical
applications and web design skills for Internet map servers. Students will learn
how to design and set up an Internet Map Server and to publish their web maps on
the server.
