Abstract

Based on the wide use of geographic information systems (GIS), and their impact on decision-making processes in organizations of several kind, the present study aims to develop an overall geospatial analysis web module for Web Mapping systems - based on international interoperability standards –this module constitutes the computational basis for the development of custom GIS applications to fit under the principle of technological sovereignty.The module was designed forenhancing the generality and reusability as a novel feature that allows the generation of thematic maps from statistics on default map databases. The study culminated in a proposal for the module to treat the main trends in algebra maps and hydrological analysis. It was also developed a generic algorithm independent of the coordinates system and/or the projection in which the data resides.
