The Emerging Concepts and Applications of the Spatial Web Portal

Tags: metadata, web services, computing, data

Overview Geospatial metadata, data, and services have been widely collected, developed and deployed in recent years. This flourishing of geospatial resources also added to the problem of geospatial heterogeneity. Interoperability research and implementation are needed for advancement in potential solutions to integrate and interoperate these widely dispersed geospatial resources. The paper proposes the Spatial Web Portal architecture to integrate and interoperate geospatial resources. The architecture leverages web-based computing, spatial web services, and web fragments to integrate geospatial metadata, data, analysis, and presentation, through distributed portlets: Spatial web services are adopted to interoperate geospatial components. Web portals are adopted to integrate web pages from web fragments generated by portlets. W3C recommendations are adopted to provide access to remote portlets delegating geospatial components.
