We have developed an astronomical-image browser system which operates on the World Wide Web. The system, called "Multi-wavelength Astronomical Image Service ON-line" or "MAISON", works as a "broker" between a user and multiple, separate, independent astronomical image servers on the Web. Through the MAISON server the user can quickly make a visual inspection into multiple images overlaid each other on the client browser. A dominant feature of the MAISON as compared with other similar multi-wavelength image servers such as Sky View and Aladin is that MAISON deals with a pointing observation image server as well as a survey image server. The first version of the MAISON has been opened on the Web at http://maison.isas.ac.jp. The version is implemented with the image servers of an X-ray astronomical satellite ASCA and with some survey image servers including the Digitized Sky Survey in optical, the IRAS Sky Survey Atlas in far-infrared, and the Green Bank Sky Map and the FIRST survey in radio. In this paper we present details of the structure of the MAISON system, services it provides, some problems to be settled, and the prospect of the future development.
