This paper proposes a new architecture of a Web-GIS. Thisarchitecture improves traditional client-interactive-only Web-GIS design by a new technology-Multi-Tier Embedded Program Interface. This interface contains two parts: one is a browser, and the other is a distributed Application Server. From the basic of these techniques a client-server-interactive Web-GIS is developed. The system allows user to update data from different places, process data in distributed servers and cache the map data conveniently without installing programs and extra configuringin advance. This Web GIS framework has been applied in designing Taiwan Road Disaster Retrieval System and in developing the homepageof Hsin-Chu municipal government.
