Abstract
 Standardized Web-Based Applications: Creating and Implementing Custom ArcIMS Templates Track: Application Development Author(s): Christopher Welchhans, Maggie Book The City of Olathe, Kansas, relies on ArcIMS to provide convenient, cost-effective access to Geographic Information Systems technology for employees and citizens. Employees use custom, Web-based applications to support daily operations within the organization. Citizens can access similar technology to learn about the city and find valuable information. The GIS division uses ArcIMS to build applications that focus on specific tasks and are easy to use. Through the creation of a standardized ArcIMS template, Olathe employees and citizens can access a consistent set of map layers and tools for working with spatial data. In addition, the standardized template facilitates application development. The Olathe ArcIMS template was developed by the GIS division, including employees from five city departments. This collaboration has produced an application template that incorporates functionality capable of supporting the majority of internal and external users.
