Motivation

GIS OGC Web-Services SOA Grids GIS-Grids Bridging GIS-Grids to other GIS networks

Case Study for Message Exchange OGC Mapping service - WMS

3

GIS – GIS – OGC - WMS Geographical Information Systems (GIS)

introduce methods, services and environments to visualize, manipulate, analyze and display geospatial data..

Creation of standards and recommendations for geospatial information and services. OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium ) ISO/TC211 W3C (World Wide Web Consortium)

Web Map Server (WMS) is OGC compatible GIS mapping service.

4

WMSWMSrequest-response point of viewrequest-response point of view

Provides data as layers and lists supported layers in capabilities file. Capabilities file is an xml file, schema is defined by OGC.

WMS provides 3 functionalities. GetCapabilities and GetMap is mandatory GetFeatureInfo is optional. (Basic WMS, Queryable WMS)

WEB SERVICES

Web Services WSDL, XML, SOAP, UDDI human to machine vs. machine to machine

Advantages Operating system neutral Platform neutral Language neutral Seamless integrations of services. Easy to extend Uses open standards (HTTP, XML)

From OGC to Service based GIS Major GIS Services

WFS WMS WRS (Catalog-Information

services) Issues handled

Message formats Service interfaces Transport protocols

WMS will be case study for explaining Messaging formats and communication handling in Web Service based Mapping Services.

Mapping Request MessagesOGC to Web Service

Mapping steps Define interfaces (wsdl) Define request format (schema files) Create client stubs for invocation. (via wsdl)

Proxy-Cascading WMS Proxy - cascading WMS :

As part of Crisigrid –each server is implemented as web services.

As an outsider of the HttpGET/POST (Servlet) based OGC GIS networks

As part of the HttpGET/POST (Servlet) based OGC GIS networks

Clients don’t have to know which layers provided by which type of services (Web Service based or servlet based)
