What is the difference between Clod-GIS and Web-GIS? These terms we encounter everywhere when we are reading about GIS and its interface on the web/ internet. People get confused whether they are the same or different terms.
This is really a good query..As per my understanding the cloud-GIS is bet secure and in the control of performing organisation while Web-GIS is almost open for every one and may and may not be much secure.
Web GIS is a type of distributed information system, where the server is a GIS server and the client is a web browser, desktop application, or mobile application. It also provides many more opportunities to provide broader access to GIS data, enabling self-service mapping to making better decisions. It makes GIS more accessible, more affordable, and more pervasive.
On the other hand, Cloud GIS is a real-time collaborative mapping platform which allows data capture for office workflow to be displayed directly onto a system. There are also many successful applications of where data has been captured by the general public and verified by users. One such success story is open street maps.

The difference only could see in the context of the time but the subjective space.
