Abstract

Internet, which covers all the network of information systems have changed the direction of digital communication with various communication protocols. Unquestionably these new innovations in information technologies affect Geographical Information Systems (GIS). Thus; GIS databases used to be shared and carried with compact discs but now with the help of desktop GIS (DGIS) applications can be shared more easily. On the other hand web based GIS (WebGIS) applications are able to reach their databases at servers with different internet protocols. This allows mobile users to access easily; as a result popularity of WebGIS has recently increased.
