[GRIDRPC-WG] Fwd: OGF support for OGC Web Processing Service spec?

Tue May 13 15:08:42 CDT 2008

Dear Hidemoto,

We can help you for slides. It could be

	Part 1. Grid-RPC overview (basic and with data management)
	Part 2. the overview of few Grid-RPC middleware.
		     Ninf, NetSolve/GridSolve, DIET, Omni-RPC

How many time ?

Regards,
Eddy

> Wayland, Mass., February 22, 2008 - The members of the Open Geospatial

>
> The WPS standard defines an interface that facilitates the publishing
> of geospatial processes and makes it easier to write software clients
> that can discover and bind to those processes. Processes include any
> algorithm, calculation or model that operates on spatially referenced
> raster or vector data. Publishing means making available
> machine-readable binding information as well as human-readable
> metadata that allows service discovery and use.
>
> A WPS can be used to define calculations as simple as subtracting one
> set of spatially referenced data from another (e.g., determining the
> difference in influenza cases between two different seasons), or as
> complicated as a hydrological model. The data required by the WPS can
> be delivered across a network or it can be made available at the
> server. This interface specification provides mechanisms to identify
> the spatially referenced data required by the calculation, initiate
> the calculation, and manage the output from the calculation so that
> the client can access it.

> The OGC's WPS standard will play an important role in automating
> workflows that involve geospatial data and geoprocessing services.

> universities participating in a consensus process to develop publicly
> available geospatial standards. OpenGIS(R) Standards support
> interoperable solutions that "geo-enable" the Web, wireless
> and location-based services, and mainstream IT. OGC Standards empower
> technology developers to make geospatial information and services
> accessible and useful with any application that needs to be
> geospatially enabled. Visit the OGC website at
