【 摘 要 】

The National Park Service Inventory and Monitoring Program has a need to distribute collected information to users who do not have access to or significant experience with GIS software.Additionally, in the monitoring phase of the program, there is a need to update tabular data on a regular basis.The Valley Forge National Historic Park, Comprehensive Bird Survey was used to develop an interactive ArcIMS prototype.The Internet mapping prototype application has several functions. It displays spatial and non-spatial data stored in an extensive relational database, allows updates to tabular, non-spatial data, carries out advanced calculations, and displays spatial data based on queries to the non-spatial database.The chosen presentation medium for this mapping service is a common, JavaScript -enabled web browser such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, or Netscape.The prototype can be viewed at http://152.1.32.120/vafobird/.The application uses ESRI's ArcIMS 9.0 HTML viewer integrated with HTML forms, MySQL, PHP, and JavaScript to produce a comprehensive online Internet map service and database interface capable of linking between the spatial and non-spatial data. The prototype can be used as a model for developing other applications, and has extensive capabilities in customization.
