Design and construction of system for marine geophysics data sharing based on WebGIS.

A browser/server system has been developed for the purpose of marine geophysical data sharing based on WebGIS technology, which uses MapServer open source system and ORACLE Database Management System. The main steps during development, including system design and implementation, are discussed in this article. The system can provide convenient, efficient, and interactive marine geophysical information sharing and visualization services through Internet or Intranet to improve data exchange and utilization.
