摘要设计和开发了一个高度互动的基于网络的，GIS支持的地图集。该地图集是一个原型，旨在作为实施地图集以支持政府癌症控制活动的模式。该模型集成了印刷制图的符号化和设计原则，探索性地理可视化的交互策略，以及GIS的网络地图/网络功能服务。该地图集是采用客户-服务器结构实施的。它使用两个开源GIS工具，PostGIS（作为系统数据库）和GeoServer（将数据库连接到客户端地图应用程序）。客户端映射应用程序已内置在Macromedia Flash中。整个客户端-服务器体系结构的描述，然后直接主要重点是集中在客户端映射应用程序。对于这个系统的组成部分，详细的接口设计策略，采取的方法来实现这一战略在Flash中记录，并开发的机制，建立从客户端到底层数据库通过服务器的动态链接进行了概述。地图集的特点是通过一个目标用户的原型使用场景。
Abstract The design and development of a highly interactive web-based, GIS-enabled atlas is reported. The atlas is a prototype, designed as a model for implementation of atlases to support government cancer-control activities. This model integrates symbolisation and design principles from print cartography, interaction strategies from exploratory geovisualisation, and web-map/web-feature service advances from GIS. The atlas has been implemented using a client-server architecture. It makes use of two open-source GIS tools, PostGIS (as the system database) and GeoServer (to connect the database to the client mapping application). The client mapping application has been built in Macromedia Flash. The entire client-server architecture is described, then direct primary emphasis is focused on the client mapping application. For this component of the system, the interface design strategy is detailed, the approach taken to implement this strategy in Flash is documented, and the mechanisms developed to build dynamic links from the client to the underlying database through the server are outlined. Features of the atlas are presented through a prototypical use scenario for a target user.
