摘要

（开放）地理空间数据的日益普及扩大了对输入、管理和分析数据以及生成制图输出的在线工具的需求。WebGIS平台通过提供成本效益高、与桌面GIS软件相比相对易于使用以及越来越复杂的工具来满足这一需求。webGIS平台的不断发展凸显了将这些平台整合到大学课程中的必要性，但也很棘手。在本文中，我们为用户开发了一个评估框架，以根据标准GIS功能评估、比较和基准测试四个webGIS平台（ArcGIS Online、Carto、Mapbox和GIS Cloud）的制图能力。所研究的webGIS平台提供了先进的数据管理和一些空间分析功能，但相比之下，它们在创建静态地图方面的制图能力有限。认识到平台会发生变化，而且经常发生变化，这项研究有助于衡量webGIS平台的能力，同时反思新艺术工具教学所面临的挑战。

An Alternative to Desktop GIS? Evaluating the Cartographic and Analytical Capabilities of WebGIS Platforms for Teaching

The increasing prevalence of (open) geospatial data has amplified the demand for online tools to input, manage, and analyse data and generate cartographic outputs. WebGIS platforms are responding to this demand by delivering cost-effective, relatively easy to use compared to desktop GIS software, and increasingly sophisticated tools. The continued advancement of webGIS platforms highlights the necessary, but tricky, integration of these platforms into university curriculum. In this paper, we develop an evaluation framework for users to assess, compare, and benchmark the cartographic capabilities of four webGIS platforms–ArcGIS Online, Carto, Mapbox, and GIS Cloud–against standard GIS functionality. The webGIS platforms studied offer advanced data management and some spatial analysis capabilities, but in contrast, they have limited cartographic capabilities for creating static maps. Recognizing that platforms change, and change often, this study serves to benchmark the capabilities of webGIS platforms, while reflecting on the observed challenges to teaching neocartography tools.

期刊介绍： The Cartographic Journal (first published in 1964) is an established peer reviewed journal of record and comment containing authoritative articles and international papers on all aspects of cartography, the science and technology of presenting, communicating and analysing spatial relationships by means of maps and other geographical representations of the Earth"s surface. This includes coverage of related technologies where appropriate, for example, remote sensing, geographical information systems (GIS), the internet and global positioning systems. The Journal also publishes articles on social, political and historical aspects of cartography.
