Enterprise-scale Web GIS offers dramatic advancement in the utility and value of geospatial technology. Its success depends upon skillful application of multiple services and tools including structured and semistructured data stores, a geospatial engine, and ready network mapping functions. And of equal importance, it requires a fresh look at the new audience that it serves.

This presentation explains how to build a vital Web GIS capability, sharing 3Di's experience developing Internet- and Intranet-based mapping for public and private sector applications. It examines the roles and practical application of RDBMS, Spatial Database Engine (SDE), and ArcIMS technologies.
