Abstract
With the proliferation of Internet usage, it has become imperative on the part of Government Agencies and City Planners to publish their data on the web. A lot of this data is GIS related in the form of zoning maps, addresses and traffic patterns. This has led to academic and industry interest in developing technologies to efficiently and aesthetically render maps and map related data onto Internet browsers. But, there has been scant discussion and effort towards detailing all the components that are needed for a production-strength deployment of an Internet GIS system. This paper outlines some of the components needed for such a system. A large North American city is used as a case study to explain how some of these technologies are being used today to serve the city's populace.
