Environmental data constitute a very wide and poorly structured knowledge domain. The only characteristic that they share is to be associated to a certain geographical object, either a point, or a line, or a polygon. These geographical objects have in turn known relationships among them (e.g. inclusion, closeness). A map can thus constitute a unique way for structuring such a wide domain, thus allowing an ordered data storage and retrieval. A web server for collecting and distributing environmental data has been built on this principle. Its main aim is to facilitate the sharing of information among all the subjects and institutions operating on a given territory, for planning, management and also educational purposes. The system adopts the classical client-server architecture and the user can contribute to its growth under the supervision of an administrator. It has been implemented for the Lombardy region in Northern Italy at the address http://pc-ambiente.como.polimi.it [http://web.archive.org/web/20000312073212/http://pc-ambiente.como.polimi.it/ ]
