Design and Development of Emergency Response Geographic Information Platform Based on Web Service

Emergency management/Emergency service is a compelling domain for applying GIS Web Service. GIS Web Service expands the further development of GIS. A Web service is described using XML-standards like the WSDL (Web Service Description Language). Web Services, are different from Web applications, don't require people to use; but software applications to call. Thus, the Web service does not have any user interface, but the Web Service applications provide user interface. GIS Web Service can also support customizable spatial analysis functions. ArcGIS Server services can be used to develop two types of Web services: ArcGIS Server data web services and application function Web services.
