Presentation of objects and spatial phenomena on the internet map by means of net resource address parameterization technique

Abstract

SummaryOver the course of several years, web cartography which changed the way of presentation and exchange of information gained new sense. Techniques development and availability of geoinformation tools in connection with net data transfer new quality enabled to create maps accessible in real time according to user's preference. The aim of the paper is to characterize and evaluate technique of parameterization for net resource URL address (Uniform Resource Locator). Examples of maps presented in a browser's window according to set parameters defined in accordance with rules in force in the range of API programistic interfaces of chosen map services were presented in the paper. Maps developed by URL link parameterization technique were put to functional tests. Moreover, efficiency and utility tests were performed. Performed tests show that creating maps with help of discussed technique needs knowledge and expert abilities which may cause difficulties to less advanced users and its use allows to evoke maps in the browser's window but in the limited range.

Comparative analysis of the performance of selected raster map viewers

“…Unit performance was measured (of the Request-level Metrics type), also referred to as initial performance, total performance, or performance occurring at the time of measurement. The research was carried out in an informal manner, in conditions of normal, typical use [Król 2015a, Król 2015b. The measurement was conducted on desktop computers, that is, in desktop mode, using selected applications that facilitate automated testing (Table 2).…”

Analysis of the correlation between socio-economic development and a number of planning decisions issued – evidence from Przecław municipality

“…The selection of variables should be supported by the analysis of subject literature, and also it should take into account the spatial, temporal, as well as substantive scope and purpose of the analysis [Prus and Król 2017]. Moreover, the results of such analyses can be presented using various data visualization techniques and tools, in particular in the web browser window [Bedla and Król 2015, Król 2015, Król and Szomorova 2015, Król 2018.…”

Interactive image viewers — comparison of selected tools and application examples

“…Maps available on the Internet are based on several types (models) of client-server interaction. In a slightly more complex model, the spatial database located on the server plays a key role [Król 2015b, Król 2015c]. In the case of a map server, the query may lead to eliciting maps, in the browser window, that will have the content and form defined by the user.…”
