Abstract

This work describes the development of a service that allows the creation of thematic maps from statistical information provided by the users and from the geographical base chosen by them. The services become a tool of Location Intelligence that allow to represent the statistical information available to people in a given geospatial area, that are open source and also available on line or being disconnected from the network. A study of the different technologies of cartographic symbolization and of some of the most important IT tools that are in use at present for the generation of thematic maps was carried out. As a result we obtained a tool that will support the decision making process and will give added value to information systems to which it will incorporate.
