Costs associated with dedicated internet map servers
Unfortunately, all these excellent features of dedicated Internet
map server solutions do come at a cost:
Price (several thousands of US dollars);Expertise is required to
install, customize and manage the Internet map server;Full access
to the hosting Web server is required to install and manage software
components (not always possible with mainstream (cheap) shared virtual
hosting packages offered by most Web Hosting Providers; for example,
HCM current Web hosting package does not allow full access to the
hosting server to install extra software); and- ESRI MapCafe Java
applet might be slow to download (depending on speed of client's
Internet connection).
This paper describes a simple, low-cost way that has been developed
for HCM to serve hypermaps with dynamic database drill-down functionality
(dynamic database links) without the need for a dedicated Internet
Map Server.
In this paper, we have described in detail HCM cost-effective method
for serving Web hypermaps with dynamic database links/drill-down
functionality on the Web. The proposed solution is currently used
for publishing HCM GIS-generated navigational information maps on
the Web while maintaining their links with the underlying resource
metadata base. The authors believe their map serving approach as
adopted in HCM has been very successful, especially in cases when
only map attribute data change without a corresponding effect on
map appearance. However, the main benefits of HCM solution are that
it is much cheaper and simpler to deploy and maintain (doesn't need
full access to the hosting Web server to install and manage extra
software components) compared to a full-fledged Internet mapping
server solution. It should be also possible to use the same solution
to publish other interactive GIS-driven maps on the Web, e.g., maps
of real world health problems.
