Mapping component: Geoconcept Web Map

Basic principles

Geoconcept Web Map (formerly called Geconcept Internet server or GCIS) is the solution developed around the Geoconcept Geographic Information System designed specially to make cartographic data available on-line along with web services related to the utilisation of maps and mapping data. The application allows the user to enrich the content of Internet, intranet or extranet sites with features for consulting geographic data interactively, but the user can also create fully functional cartographic web applications enabling work on these data.

The component offers a series of user-friendly functions to the user for browsing maps via Geoconcept that have been configured with a view to their publication on the web server.

Functionalities

The Geoconcept Web Map component is the component to use to display a map in your web applications. There are several ways to exploit this facility as described in the following paragraphs.

The client used is the DHTML/Javascript client used mainly to develop highly responsive user interfaces for publishing the Geoconcept map, while ensuring compatibility with the main market standard browsers.

It is used client side via a JavaScript API described in the API and Web Services / API Javascript chapter of the documentation.
