OGC
GIS VISUALIZATION WEB SERVICES
Geographical Information Systems
(GIS) introduce methods
and environments to visualize, manipulate, and analyze geospatial
data. The nature of the geographical applications requires
seamless integration and sharing of spatial data from a
variety of providers. To solve the interoperability problems,
the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC)
has introduced standards by publishing specifications for
the GIS services.
OGC is a non-profit,
international standards organization that is leading the
development of standards for geographic data related operations
and services. OGC has
variety of contributors from different areas such as
private industry and academia
to create open and extensible software application programming
interfaces for GIS.
Our GIS Visualization
Web Services are OGC
compatible.
GIS services, such as
defined by the OGC,
are part of a larger effort to build distributed systems,
such as Grids, around the principles of Service Oriented
Architectures (SOA).
Such systems unify distributed services through a message-oriented
architecture, allowing loose coupling, scalability, fault
tolerance, and cross-organizational service collections.
Web Service architectures are a common implementation of
SOA ideals, and Grid
computing has converging requirements. By implementing
Web Service versions of GIS
services, we can integrate them directly with scientific
application grids.
Project Topics;
- Creating WMS
Client for the Geophysics Applications
- Creating OGC-WMS
providing visualization services over
- HTTP GET
- HTTP POST
- and SOAP protocols
- Chaining of GIS
Visualization and Geophysical Application servers in
SOA.
- Streaming Video and Map Services
- Collaborative WMS
- Static Map Images
- Streaming Video Maps -for the time series data.
- Providing various video streaming formats for
- Using high performance, fault-tolerant messaging
middleware system, Naradabrokering, for the message
exchange between distributed and chained
GIS Web Services.
