Abstract
Master plan of an area involves not only textual information (non spatial information) but also geographical information i.e. spatial information. Normal database management system handles non spatial information well but has limitation in handling spatial information. Therefore, to handle a problem involving spatial and non-spatial data for storing, managing, retrieving and querying, a broad base information system is required. GIS in recent years has shown ability to satisfy these requirements.

A Geographic Information System is a computer-based tool for mapping and analysing geographic information. GIS relate the spatial and non-spatial information together in GIS application. For sharing information, GIS application should give accessibility to different users on Internet without requirement of GIS package to run it. Web GIS can provide solution to this.

This paper explores the possibilities of sharing resource in order to provide on-line mapping capabilities to individuals who would have access to geographic data. The objective of the present paper is to produce the Master plan of IIT campus on web with details of buildings, apartments, proposed buildings, resident name, roads etc to user.
There are number of software that supports this type of internet-based mapping application. In the present work GeoMedia Professional version 5.1, GeoMedia WebMap Professional a product of Intergraph is used along with ASP, Java Script, Visual Basic Script (VBScript), HTML. In the design system user is able to perform various functions like panning, zoom, area-measure, location, queries and displaying various features.
