A coal-bed methane WebGIS based on MapABC Maps API and DWR

This paper developed a coal-bed methane WebGIS based on MapABC Maps API and DWR which is suitable for exploration and exploitation of coal-bed methane. The system includes a database which stores exploration and exploitation information on the server side and map information display and query functions on the client side (ie browser side). By using the DWR (Direct Web Remoting) framework, data can be transmitted from the server to the client. The system has implemented the function of block search, point map search, fuzzy search, well type search, area measurement and distance measurement, etc. The information management systems based on WebGIS is a powerful auxiliary tool in the management of coal-bed methane industry. The system is able to improve information management standard and work efficiency.
