چکیده

An intelligent geoportal orchestrates (automatically coordinate) web services to prepare, discover and present information to the user. Implementations of web service standards by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and ISO/TC 211, Geographic information/Geomatics, such as, the Web Map Service (WMS), Web Feature Service (WFS) and Styled Layer Descriptor (SLD) enable the display of spatial data in a geoportal. Ultimately, our goal is to intelligently orchestrate web services to produce thematic maps. As a first step towards our ultimate goal, in this article, we present the results of experiments with the orchestration of OGC web services to produce thematic maps. Our goal here was to evaluate whether orchestrating OGC web services can produce thematic maps. The results prove that this is possible, but show that there is customised functionality that has to be wrapped into WPSs. This poses a challenge to on the fly intelligent orchestration, which is required in an intelligent geoportal.

Web cartography with open standards - A solution to cartographic challenges of environmental management

The visualization of spatial information in the form of maps is a critical task to facilitate decision making in environmental management. Web Map Services (WMS), Styled Layer Descriptor (SLD) and Symbology Encoding (SE) already created an open framework for Web mapping services. However, from the cartographic point of view, the OGC standards have several limitations for producing high quality ...

Proposal to define common resources for OpenGIS Location Services

Spatial information is getting ever more prominent on the web. As envisioned by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) a spatial strand has been woven into the web. However, the buildup of the geospatial web takes place with scarce utilization of OGC standards only. One reason might be of architectural nature. Many successful web services follow the paradigm of Representational State Transfer (RE...

Semantic access to INSPIRE How to publish and query advanced GML data

The INSPIRE Directive establishes a pan-European ”Spatial Data Infrastructure” (SDI) to make available multiple thematic datasets from the EU member states through stable Geo Web-Services. Parallel to this ongoing procedure, the Semantic Web has technologically fostered the Linked Data initiative which builds up huge repositories of freely collected data for public access. Querying both data ca...

Workflow Enactment of Grid-Enabled Geospatial Web Services

The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) has developed a series of specifications for geospatial web services. In parallel, the grid community has developed the Open Grid Services Architecture (OGSA) to facilitate the development of web services on the Grid. The orchestration of OGC and OGSA web services in workflows is currently limited by a lack of interoperability between these two architectures...
