Geo-Processing Community

Mission

The Geo-Processing community aims at designing a pluggable web service architecture for chaining and executing geo processes as well as researching spatiotemporal data analysis and processing techniques. The web service architecture has to be comprehensive by incorporating sophisticated communication mechanisms as well as reflecting established work on standards (e.g. OGC Web Processing Service) and (geo)semantics.

Vision

The working group envisions a set of comprehensive Java tools published by the working group which can function in a standards based geo processing infrastructure.

Activities

The working group limits its activities to "processing" and stimulates the development of Java-components. It will act as an umbrella for development projects to stimulate cooperation, standardization and publication. The working group will limit recommendations to its field of expertise. It welcomes projects which use frameworks in combination with geo processing services and promotes publication of as much examples as possible. New project leaders should be stimulated to learn from the experience of others.
