Description
Summary:The main objective of this study is to develop a prototype model of Web-based Geographic Information System (GIS) application for efficient management of borehole and geological data. More than 10,000 boreholes and other geological data were archived into the database and Web-based GIS system was implemented for a local urban area of Seoul in Korea. A standard form of borehole data was suggested and the database was developed in the system. The system provides client users with geological information search function, on-line geological information function, statistical summaries, and administrative functions. As a result, the system makes the efficient management of geological data possible by adopting database and Web-based system. It is also expected that the system can be connected with other existing GIS applications for further applications.
