Recently, the web map services with standard interfaces have been developed to a high degree for the purpose of sharing of spatial data through the web. Among the various kinds of works related, the specification for the web map service released by Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) is the most prominent, and is nearly adopted as international standard (ISO/DIS 19128) in developing the web map servers. The web map server of OGC, however, provides the insufficient capabilities for mobile applications. Unlike the wired applications, the mobile applications would require the map server to minimize of size of data transferred, because the size of data is very important factor in communication cost and the response time of map clients. And the mobile applications require different quality of map according to the screen size of mobile devices. The mobile application, also require some application specific queries. In this paper, We have Proposed the interfaces for mobile web map services (M-WMS) which fully comply with the standard interfaces proposed in OGC. And we have designed and implemented the web map server for mobile map services. This paper has contributed to construction and practical use of the web map servers in mobile applications, such as LBS and telematics.

The remote sensing image server provides advanced image serving capabilities for geospatial image. Wide seamless image mosaics of Landsat 5 over GMS countries, which exceed a 15 GB or more in size per image, can integrate with other GIS map servers. The approach of two improvement algorithms leads to speed up the response time while preserving the data quality. This system does not only provide images on the web, but also provide GIS layers to WMS client map servers. The advantage of this approach is its efficiency lower cost in terms of cost, time and updating to obtain and utilize remote sensing image.

As the Internet has been improved to Web 2.0, it introduces new approaches including Rich Internet Application (RIA) technology such as Flash, AJAX, Silverlight, etc. The RIA which is platform independent technology allows applications to provide rich client-side interfaces, and allows the browser to interact with users without communication to server. In this paper, we propose a method of spatial data service based on RIA technology. Internet map service using spatial data generally requires rich client-side interfaces and various interactions. These features can be provided by the RIA. The proposed method uses Flash developed by Macromedia as RIA technology. It can be applicable on any platform including mobile environment. The spatial data server makes Flash file known as SWF (Shock Wave File) with manipulation code for map and spatial data that is requested by user, and send it to the web browser. Once the web browser receives a SWF, client SWF manipulates user interactions, such as zooming and panning, without communication with server. Experiments that execute the application on various web browsers including mobile web browser and measure time of map interaction are carried out to compare with traditional bitmap based WMS (Web Map Service). As a result of experiments, we have confirmed improvement of interactivity and performance with RIA approach.

A prototype of OGC Web Map Service and Web Feature Service is developed by NEC Aerospace Systems, Ltd. under the contract from NASDA and RESTEC. The server provides satellite imagery data taken by JERS-1 and ADEOS satellite, via OGC interfaces to the client. The related features are also available to the client through the Internet with OGC interfaces. The imagery, map and feature data is handled layer by layer at the client. OGC Web Map Service and Web Feature Service interoperability capability and applicability to Digital Asia Network are demonstrated.

In developed countries such as USA and Europe, agricultural monitoring system is developed and utilized in various fields in order to predict crop yield, observe weather conditions and anomaly, categorize crop fields, and calculate areas for each crop. These system is Web Map Service(WMS) which utilizes open source and commercial softwares, and various information collected from remote sensing data are provided. This study will utilize tools such as GeoServer, ArcGIS Server, which are widely used to monitor agricultural production, to publish Map Server and Web Application Server. This enables performance test study for future agricultural production monitoring system by making use of response time and data transfer test. When tested in identical condition GeoServer showed a better result in response time and data transfer for performance test.

Forest fire monitoring prototype system was developed by National Development Agency of Japan (NASDA) and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan (MAFF) to verify the usefulness of interoperabile system to study new services of Earth observation satellite data distribution for a practical application. In this system, a standard interface of Web based GIS technology, OpenGIS Consortium (OGC) technology, was adopted. This system is also expected to encourage data sharing activities in Digital Asia Network (DAN) as a demonstration system.

Web Map Service on mobile environment, provided with cost effective mobile GIS contents and user preferred POIs(Points of interests), is strongly required at this moment when mobile and portable Internet is rapidly spreaded on mobile user community as information technology and mobile HW are evolved in its speed, bandwidth and features. As the mobile and portable Internet becomes popular in mobile services, LBS(Location Based Service) is positioned on a mobile client as one of the best information infra services. Recently mobile GIS (Geographic Information System) comes in service to support LBS, but it is constrained and limited on its system configuration and its presentation methodology of a map, and also it depends on its run time environment. In this paper, we made an effort to design and implement a GIS computing platform with server based thin client for mobile WMS(Web Map Service). For its cost effective Platform which could be easily building up POIs and GIS contents, we're not using commercial GIS solution but NGII's (National Geographic Information Institute's) DXF numerical map, and representing the maps, GIS contents and POIs by SVG(Scalable Vector Graphics) recommended by OGC(OpenGis Consortium). We're also adapting de facto standard of XML web service technology such as WSDL, SOAP to provide real time mobile GIS service on PDA as well as mobile terminal by applying a GPS receiver for a user's location information on mobile environment.
