This article presents a case study of how a user-centered design (UCD) approach was utilized during the addition of interactive masking capability to an existing web-based geographic information system (Web GIS). By analyzing and discussing specific aspects of the user-developer dialog within the context of a Web GIS software development life cycle, this article presents a case study for similar systems. The results of the UCD methodology is a discussion that presents a shift from an initial design to a new design that, based on user feedback, furthers the utility and usability of interactive masking within the Web GIS.
