My understanding of GIS is that the hierarchy is GIS>Distributed GIS>Internet GIS>WebGIS>WebMapping and other services.

Internet GIS place in the GIS literature
I'm surprised this page did not already exist, as it is a huge part of the GIS literature. My understanding of GIS is that the hierarchy is GIS>Distributed GIS>Internet GIS>WebGIS>WebMapping and other services. Wikipedia was missing Internet GIS, and is still missing WebGIS, both extremely common terms in the literature. There are many pages for smaller GIS Concepts, so these high order concepts are noteworthy. GeogSage (talk) 07:34, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
Renaming / merging this article to Web GIS
I think this article could be merged with the existing web mapping article or must be renamed to Web GIS. Content that covers Web GIS on the current Web mapping page could be moved here. Web mapping and Web GIS are indeed two different things, where web mapping focuses on the interactive map functionality and web gis focusing on the analysis and processing functionalities. However, the frontier is rather blurry and that's probably why so far web GIS has been covered in the web mapping article.
What "Internet GIS" is corresponds to what the industry has referred to as "Web GIS" for ages (>10 years). This new Internet GIS article created last September, mostly by a single enthusiast, needs to be renamed and/or merged.
