WPS mediation: An approach to process geospatial data on different computing backends
The OGC Web Processing Service (WPS) specification allows generating information by
processing distributed geospatial data made available through Spatial Data Infrastructures
(SDIs). However, current SDIs have limited analytical capacities and various problems
emerge when trying to use them in data and computing-intensive domains such as
environmental sciences. These problems are usually not or only partially solvable using
single computing resources. Therefore, the Geographic Information (GI) community is trying …
