Description: This paper presents our approach towards creating a Web-based Spatiotemporal Geographic Information System, in particular, the creation of the spatial data set and the component interaction. It explores the possibility of rendering Virtual GIS Worlds in near real time across the WWW using a standard Web browser as the user interface. A" proof of concept" Web-based VGIS application was developed to investigate methods for the efficient transfer of high-bandwidth multimedia GIS content over the WWW, as well as providing a suitable development environment for research into Web-based Temporal GIS. This paper describes how VRML and Java were used to provide the visualisation of virtual worlds, interaction with individual objects inside the virtual world, and the query tools for adding, deleting, selecting or manipulating these objects or their associated attribute data.
