The GRASS HTMLMAP display driver

GRASS maps can be rendered to a number of output display drivers. Typically this renders to a graphics window on your screen, but by using the HTMLMAP driver you can automatically create an image map suitable for inclusion on a web page. The HTMLMAP driver allows the generation of HTML image maps for area vector data. HTML image maps are used in conjunction with images to provide unique URL targets for different portions of an image. The HTMLMAP driver can create both client-side image maps embedded into HTML files, or server-side image maps used by web server software.

Interactive Web User Interfaces

PyWPS (Python Web Processing Service) is an implementation of the Web Processing Service standard from the Open Geospatial Consortium.

Processes can be written using GRASS GIS, but the use of other programs is also possible. For example, it may be used together with the R geo-statistics package or GDAL or PROJ tools.

WMS

Web Map Service is a live geospatial data server system developed by the Open Geospatial Consortium. Two popular implementations are NASA World Wind and Google Earth. There are many more WMS servers on the Internet, here is a list of a few.

GRASS can load geospatial data directly from an online WMS server with the r.in.wms module. A simpler interface pre-tuned to NASA's OnEarth server is provided by the r.in.onearth module from the GRASS wiki add-ons page.
