The purpose of this paper is to elaborate of creating web-GIS of Polish burials at the Baikove Cemetery in Kyiv. Achieving this goal involves the following tasks: to develop the structure of the geographic information system, its framework and to fill the file database. For fulfilment of established tasks, a technological scheme consisting of 12 stages is offered. In the first stage, field surveys were performed to determine the coordinates of each grave of the Polish burials of the Baikove Cemetery using a GIS tablet. The total number of point coordinates was 565, which were concentrated in 7 sections of the cemetery. At the eighth stage of the technological scheme the structure of layouts of each html-page of the created online GIS was developed. In the case of the Baikove Cemetery scheme, plots with Polish burials were marked. At the tenth stage, 5 sheets of topographic plans of burials were generated. The eleventh stage is devoted to the creation and filling of a file database on Polish burials. This database contained the following structure: photo of the burial, coordinates, surname and name, years of life, additional photographs, sex of the buried person, interpreted inscription on the tombstone, as well as, if possible, detailed information and profession of the buried person, its outstanding achievements and accomplishments. At the last stage, the hyperlinks of the transition between the pages were configured and the system was tested. The scientific novelty lies in the development of the concept of joint use of various applications of geoinformation and non-geoinformation purposes. The technological scheme of creation of WEB-GIS of Polish burials of the Baikove Cemetery in Kyiv is offered. The implemented geographic information system is designed for inventory of burials, analysis of the condition of tombstones and their spatial location in the cemetery.
