Educational GIS (EDUGIS) based on Web is an important part of educational modernization construction. In order to visually display and dynamically query the educational geographic information, and give statistical analysis for educational spatial information and educational resource, in this paper, the framework and functional structure of EDUGIS is designed based on Map Server, an open source WebGIS platform. After the analysis of the organization structure of Ajax technology, by combining the framework of open source platform Map Server and open-source database PostGIS/PostgreSQL software, EDUGIS based on Web is realized. The research results show that the EDUGIS is effective and useful for providing a timely, scientific and effective decision-making support for educational body and education sector.
