Abstract :
Aimed at the features of complex objects and massive data transmission, a new XML-based method to design and implement communication protocols for WebGIS is presented. The paper illustrates the mechanism in designing communication protocols following W3C´s XML Schema specification, as well as provides main flow to embed them into WebGIS by packing and parsing XML-based protocols. This kind of protocol can be used in spatial information exchange among heterogeneous platforms of in distributed environment.
