Another W*S Standard: Web Processing Service

Geoserver (http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOS/Home) will hopefully add another service to it’s 2.0 release. The FROGS (http://frogs.tigris.org/) project has implemented a WPS, and is likely to join forces with geoserver. According to OGC “A WPS may offer calculations as simple as subtracting one set of spatially referenced numbers from another (e.g., determining the difference in influenza cases between two different seasons), or as complicated as a global climate change model. The data required by the WPS can be delivered across a network, or available at the server”. cool huh :)

One thought on “Another W*S Standard: Web Processing Service

  1. Hey,
    Please also have a look at the WPS implementation which is available in the OpenSource Initiative 52north. The 52n WPS features full WPS compliance for XML data handling and includes also a plugin for JUMP. The implementation is extensible in order to support more processes and data formats. Please have a try. If you have any questions, please feel free to send them to me.
