Abstract: Since the concept of WebGIS appeared, its theory and application have been researched in our count ry.But it is still under the ex perimentation until now, so it cannot be called the real “WebGIS”.So it is necessary to summarize the research results for these years. This paper sums up the main characteristics of WebGIS on the basis of collecting and studying agreat deal of published scientific thesises, research report s, deg ree thesises and applications. The paper also sums up the key problems and realizing technology of WebGIS, and its application status in agriculture, forest ry, weather, water conservancy, earthquake, ocean, land and resource, environment protection, railroad and t raffic, electric pow er, city const ruction and prog ramming are emphasized.Finally the paper discusses the development t rend of WebGIS. The conclusion is that WebGIS can be used more w idely as an opening application plat form.
