Abstract

Abstract. As an interdisciplinary integration of GIS theory and network technology, Web GIS is of great significance for the comprehensive development of students’ GIS capability. Therefore, this paper targets undergraduate GIS education and presents a novel approach to designing a scalable Web GIS microservices framework, which consists of three essential components: scalable Web GIS microservices using RESTful APIs, scalable geographic data source provider using PostGIS, and scalable Web mapping and symbolization using JavaScript. In the GIS practice, students are expected to utilize Python, PostGIS, and JavaScript programming languages to develop RESTful microservice APIs, access geographic data, and perform mapping and symbolization using Web browser. Furthermore, they are encouraged to adjust the workload of GIS spatial analysis and algorithms based on the needs of the development environment, and implement different GIS applications. Ultimately, by guiding students to use this framework and participate in GIS practice, the aim of improving their GIS capability is achieved. The experimental results show that through the design and practice of the scalable Web GIS microservices framework, the relevant contents of Web GIS, GIS Software Development, GIS Principle, GIS Algorithm, and GeoDatabase courses are integrated. Students participate in GIS practice in various forms, such as open experiments, innovation projects, and professional competitions, which enhance their GIS capability at the undergraduate level and achieve favorable results.

面向本科教育的可扩展web gis微服务框架设计

摘要Web GIS作为GIS理论与网络技术的跨学科融合，对学生GIS能力的全面发展具有重要意义。因此，本文针对本科GIS教育，提出了一种设计可扩展Web GIS微服务框架的新方法，该框架由三个基本组件组成:使用RESTful api的可扩展Web GIS微服务，使用PostGIS的可扩展地理数据源提供程序，以及使用JavaScript的可扩展Web映射和符号化。在GIS实践中，学生将使用Python、PostGIS和JavaScript编程语言开发RESTful微服务api，访问地理数据，并使用Web浏览器进行映射和符号化。此外，鼓励他们根据开发环境的需要调整GIS空间分析和算法的工作量，实现不同的GIS应用。最终，通过引导学生使用该框架并参与GIS实践，达到提高学生GIS能力的目的。实验结果表明，通过可扩展Web GIS微服务框架的设计与实践，集成了Web GIS、GIS软件开发、GIS原理、GIS算法、GeoDatabase等课程的相关内容。学生以开放实验、创新项目、专业竞赛等多种形式参与GIS实践，提高了学生在本科阶段的GIS能力，取得了良好的效果。
