Um framework para avaliação de interfaces de aplicações SIG web

Published: 19 November 2006 Publication History

Abstract

User Interfaces in Web applications of Geographic Information Systems (WebGIS) have been developed without the use of practices and criteria that consider characteristics of this application domain, given the diversity of users in the Web. The interface quality of these applications directly influences their use. This work proposes a semiotic-based framework for the evaluation of GIS applications' interfaces. A set of evaluation recomendations illustrates the framework usage in the GIS domain.
