Overview
Key facts
Geographical information is now becoming increasingly more present in our daily life. This poses new challenges to its efficient and timely delivery to potential end users who do not necessarily have the required skills to access or operate a GIS software package. The internet offers a powerful medium for real-time delivery of geographical information and location-based services.
Cranfield University's Spatial data and the internet programme will teach you more about this topic.
Programme Structure
Courses include:
- Appraise contemporary Internet technologies and their application relevant to geographical data dissemination,
- Apply HTML and CSS to develop web frameworks, drawing on templates as required, demonstrating the application of JavaScript, and the use of mapping Application Programming Interfaces (APIs),
- Evaluate emergent Internet GIS standards and data transfer strategies and formats (e.g. GML; XML; JSON/GeoJSON),
- Prepare an internet mapping website, and appraise the utility and use of proprietary versus open source contemporary internet mapping technologies (e.g. ESRI ArcGIS Enterprise and ArcGIS Server, ESRI JavaScript API, Google Maps API, Geoserver, Open Layers API, Leaflet API etc),
- Evaluate and compare leading proprietary and open source data server technologies (e.g. GeoServer, ESRI ArcGIS Server, ESRI ArcGIS Online, Oracle, Postgres/PostGIS)
