The need for computational resources capable of processing geospatial data has accelerated the uptake web services. Several academic and commercial organizations now offer services provision, coordinate transformation, geocoding several other tasks. These adopt specifications developed by Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) - leading standardization body Geographic Information Systems. In parallel with efforts OGC, Grid computing community published developing applications. Forum (OGF) is main...
Spatial database servers allow for the storage and access of 3D geospatial data using open consortium standards. The Geospatial Database Online Visualization Environment (GeoDOVE) is a prototype Web-based geographic information system that demonstrates how Java3D can reduce bandwidth direct connectivity to spatially enabled systems. We've developed GeoDOVE, Java3D-based retrieves from conventional spatial servers, allows modification visualization during runtime, lets users remotely modify...
The value of service oriented architectures has been demonstrated in several studies. A key aspect the advantage web services is their orchestration into complex business workflows. Organization for Advancement Structured Information Systems (OASIS) recently approved an industry-wide standard workflow specification, Business Process Execution Language (BPEL). Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC), a member OASIS, adopted BPEL its series interoperability experiments. This paper presents study...
Abstract Overlaying maps using a desktop GIS is often the first step of multivariate spatial analysis. The potential this operation has increased considerably as data sources and Web services to manipulate them are becoming widely available via Internet. Standards from OGC enable such geospatial ‘mashups’ be seamless user driven, involving discovery thematic data. naturally inclined look for clusters ‘correlation’ outcomes. Using classical cluster detection scan methods identify associations...
The ever‐increasing number of spatial data sets accessible through clearinghouses continues to make geographic information retrieval and discovery major challenges. Such challenges have been addressed in the discipline Information Retrieval ranking according inferred degrees relevance. Spatial data, however, present an additional challenge as they are characteristically made up geometry, attribute and, optionally, temporal components. As these components mutually independent one another,...
Abstract. Recent advances in modelling capabilities and data processing combined with vastly improved observation tools networks have resulted the expansion of available weather climate information, from historical observations to seasonal forecasts, as well decadal predictions multi-decadal change projections. However, it remains a key challenge ensure this information reaches intended climate-sensitive sectors (e.g. water, energy, agriculture, health), is fit-for-purpose guarantee...
Sharing geospatial data and geoprocessing models within a system like GEOSS (global earth observation of systems) is challenging to interoperability concepts technology. Standardisation bodies, providers, researchers policies ensure progress towards this goal. Nonetheless, the availability these services questions use reuse information resources in terms their appropriate context, scale, sensitivity quality. The outcome(s) delivered from workflow chaining processes that were not necessarily...
