newbie question

[Etienne Sévin]

Hi there,

We are planning to add a MapServer plugin to our online survey
application to allow user to build thematic analysis.
I'm really new to GIS and most of the examples I saw about mapserver
were issues about geographic localization.
Where could I find examples about how to build thematic analysis like
the one we can find in a mapinfo package for instance?

I hope this question is not too dumb ...

best regard,

Etienne
