Building Interactive Web Maps with i3Geo

Advances in information technology allow people to access geospatial data stored on remote servers. Applications to build web mapping could be organized according to the type of data storage and access to web services. There are cloud-based applications with free or paid subscriptions, and on-premises based applications for data warehouse, and access to geo web services. In this article, our goal is to describe in outline the major features of i3Geo and its implementation in Venezuela. i3Geo is an application for developing interactive web maps that integrates several open-source technologies into a single development platform. i3Geo consists of two interfaces: a user interface intended for data visualization and geoprocessing, and a management interface for interactive management of geospatial data. In Venezuela, there are two cases of use of i3geo: Geoportal INSAI and PDVSA Oriente.
