Web GIS is the implementation of geographic information systems (GIS) functionality through a World Wide Web browser or other client program, thus allowing a broader usage and analysis of a particular geographic database. Also referred to as Internet GIS, distributed GIS, and Internet mapping, the implementation of online GIS systems has dominated the work of GIS professionals since the late 1990s.
