1. What are MassGIS Web Mapping Services? • The MassGIS Web Mapping Services were developed as part of a Massachusetts Information Technology Division E-Government initiative started in March 2001. The web mapping services were envisioned as one of four common, statewide “shared services”. (web mapping, customer relations management, credit card payments, security) • MassGIS takes care of these details so government entities don’t have to: • -Purchase of servers, bandwidth • Purchase, installation and configuration of software (database, web mapping, web serving) • Loading GIS data and keeping it up-to-date. Agencies don’t need to spend time, money or staff on these functions. Their programmers can focus on developing an application (in any programming language with XML support) and include maps. The services currently receive an average of 75,000 requests per day. MassGIS Web Mapping Services Co-winner, URISA ESIG Award 2005, Enterprise System 4.
