Abstract: The geoportal is a mapping web site; it can be described as specialized software and technologies for spatial data processing. Geoportal's main task is to provide the user with the tools and services of storing and cataloguing, publications and download the spatial (geographic) data, search and filter by metadata, interactive web visualization, direct access to geodata based web mapping services. Geoportal developed in ICM SB RAS with appropriate set of its components and services, has become a GIS platform for creating a number of applied GIS web applications. The article deals with the experience of design and development of these systems.

Abstract: Research on design and development of software and technological support for geo-portal of ICM SB RAS are discussed. Its main components and implementation details are presented. A number of problems are discussed in details, such as web-based metadata catalog, the logic of building applications based on web services geoportal. A list of implemented information systems, based on discussed technologies is presented. The authors were directly involved in the develop-ment and implementation of geoportal based projects. In developing the software many different software libraries and components were used. Web mapping user interface was created using a number of open source libraries. To create a server-side web application authors used GIS platforms MapGuide Open Source and Min-nesota Mapserver. GeoWebCache was another essential component of distributed web mapping ap-plications. By analyzing and summarizing the experience gained creating information systems, it should be noted that the use of geoportal-based solutions in this area, can dramatically improve the efficiency of software development and problems solving.

Abstract: In this paper developed model of information-computational system for conducting scientific research based on statistical processing and analysis of spatially distributed geophysical data obtained as results of observations and modeling is presented. Accumulated experience of developing information-computational web-systems providing computational processing and visualization of large archives of geo-referenced data was used during the implementation. Functional capabilities of the model comprise a set of procedures of mathematical and statistical analysis, processing and visualization of data, which allows optimizing of routine calculation tasks. As one of applications of the system being developed program modules for analysis of regional features of main climatic characteristics dynamics and interrelations as well as for graphical representation of results as plots, diagrams and 3-D fields layered on maps of corresponding territories by means of Web GIS technologies were implemented.
