DJAMALUDDIN, I., INDRAYANI, P., MITANI, Y., TAGANE, S. &amp; YAHARA, T. 2015. Geographic Information <br />System (GIS) web server for biodiversity information system. Reinwardtia 14 (2): 249 – 258. — Ecological protection <br />strategies, designed by sharing information and integrating data, play an important role in defining interconnections and <br />interdependencies in research as well as in increasing global awareness. The Geographic Information System (GIS) web <br />server is one technology  solution to improve the interoperability and sharing between the biodiversity databases of an <br />organization and the databases of other research groups. In this paper, a database system integration framework based <br />on GIS technology and a GIS server system using the latest cloud-based technology have been developed to incorporate  <br />biodiversity databases in Asian region. A GIS server is a GIS web platform integrating multiple geodatabases and  <br />provides data display and query, allowing users to apply internet browsers to manipulate the functions and query the <br />data, etc. To demonstrate the effectiveness of a GIS  web server, plant biodiversity  survey dataset of Mt. Gede-<br />Pangrango,  West  Java  in  Indonesia,  was  given  as  a  case  study  for  development  and  utilization  of  biodiversity  <br />information system in Asian region.  <br />
