Collaborative Web-GIS platform for systematic exploration of Lake Geneva
Abstract
We have developed and deployed a Web-based GIS data management framework, which facilitates an effective and highly structured search, retrieval and visualisation of multi-modal scientific data, as well as its subsequent dissemination in multiple and standardised forms beneficial for both the research partners involved in the project and the general public. In the context of the long term objectives of the Élémo project, the developed methodology may be utilised for automated and systematic collection of the multifaceted scientific data and with the goal of assembling a comprehensive database encompassing all aspects of currently planned and future scientific investigations.

Web mapping
Web mapping or an online mapping is the process of using maps, usually created through geographic information systems (GIS) on the Internet, more specifically in the World Wide Web (the Web). A web map or an online map is both served and consumed, thus, web mapping is more than just web cartography, it is a service where consumers may choose what the map will show. The advent of web mapping can be regarded as a major new trend in cartography.
Collaborative mapping
Collaborative mapping, also known as citizen mapping, is the aggregation of Web mapping and user-generated content, from a group of individuals or entities, and can take several distinct forms. With the growth of technology for storing and sharing maps, collaborative maps have become competitors to commercial services, in the case of OpenStreetMap, or components of them, as in Google Map Maker Waze and Yandex Map Editor.
Geographic information system
A geographic information system (GIS) consists of integrated computer hardware and software that store, manage, analyze, edit, output, and visualize geographic data. Much of this often happens within a spatial database, however, this is not essential to meet the definition of a GIS. In a broader sense, one may consider such a system also to include human users and support staff, procedures and workflows, the body of knowledge of relevant concepts and methods, and institutional organizations.
