11 th International Symposium for GIS and Computer Cartography for Coastal Zones Managementronmental data and DNA barcode information on marine organisms was also collected concurrently when such dataexisted. Data retrieval work was long and difficult because data was included in texts, tables and maps in arbitraryformat. During the quality processes, some data with incorrect position or time were deleted from the data set.Through continuous efforts collecting data, a total of 69,324 occurrence records of 2,226 marine species weregathered at the end of 2012. The total number of books surveyed was 148. Oracle RDBMS (Relational DatabaseManagement System) was introduced to manage the collected data and Oracle 11g was installed on a Windowsserver system.Table 1.

The GIS interface was used for selection of search conditions, mapping of the query result andvisualization of distribution statistics. A number of JAVA scripts were programmed based on Google map API toshow appearance location and data statistics on the map. Several ASP programs were developed to retrieve datafrom the DB system and produce HTML pages of search results. The mobile GIS services were developed to provideinformation to the mobile internet users. The KOBIS mobile website (http://kobis.kordi.re.kr/mobile) was setup for small size devices in 2010, and offers almost the same data service as the original website. KOBIS also providesinstant GIS maps which show monthly statistical frequencies of each species at each 1/4° grid.The mobile applications for iPhone and Android smartphones were developed in 2010 and 2011 respectively. TheiPhone application was programmed with Objective-C language and the Android application was programmed withJAVA language on the Eclipse platform. They support XML data communication between DB server and the smartphones, and use Google map API for data mapping. Because most mobile devices detect the touch of finger insteadof the mouse click and there is no right button click, a few additional GIS functions were programmed to respond totouch.Figure 2.
