Description:
This paper discusses the implementaiton of a web-based map publishing technology within a USEPA GIS laboratory. A sophisticated spill travel prediction model for the Ohio River has been installed within the GIS laboratory, and is used by personnel from the NRMRL. The spill simulation model runs on a PC, and provides results that can be linked into a desktop GIS. This paper describes how those results were linked to a Web server so that they could be viewed within a browser. The implementation used EPA standard technologies to implement the Web server and the Map server. Once the implementation was up and running, a series of experiments were run to determine the performance of different types of map delivery over the Intranet.
