International audience; Geographical information systems (GIS) are becoming a common tool in applications that involve spatial objects and relations. In the last years the internet technology is moving GIS towards web based applications, simplifying the interaction between users and GIS, and at the same time reducing the ownership and maintenance costs. In the framework of caENTI we are developing a Web Mapping solution to present selected socio-economic indicators of European Union in the form of Interactive map. Indicators will be presented in different levels of detail (from NUTS0 to LAU2). In the time of writing this article Interactive map is still in development phase. The development software has been already selected and tested. However the selection and processing of data and metadata is still not completed. Map built on Web Mapping software GeoServer and JavaScriptbased web applications (including the Map Tools library OpenLayers) are in the final stages of development.
