Today the Web serves as a universal information and communication infrastructure. We’re able to share data, documents, maps and apps based on web technologies. The efficient use of geoprocessing functionality for data analysis and presentation on the Web is an active topic in GIS science and application. The massive rise in available spatial data from mapping communities, sensor operators and public bodies has also spurred the demand by lay users and experts for readily available analysis and data processing tools. While Desktop and Workstation GIS are still widely used, there is also a trend towards sharing and reusing data processing and analysis workflows on the Web.more >

52° North WPS Configuration Management Reloaded
It has been almost five weeks since work started on the 52° North Web Processing Service (WPS) web admin project. So far, the work has focused entirely on the back-end where we aim to create a new and more robust configuration manager. The project currently uses an XML approach in which configurations are stored in an XML file, loaded and read manually, module by module and property by property. The WPS has three main types of configuration modules: Processes, Generators, and Parsers. To load the generators, for example, you first have to parse the XML file, then get the generators list and then read properties and formats one by one. Furthermore, the forms must be created manually in the interface for each module in order to create a configuration module.more >
New 52° North WPS Admin Web Application
This week, we will have one blog post by each of this year’s Google Summer of Code students presenting their project and themselves. First off is Khalid – enjoy!
The project
The current web application for the 52° North Web Processing Service (WPS) admin is very inflexible and highly coupled. Functions and modules are implemented directly into the presentation elements, making it difficult to add new modules and maintain the code. In addition, the interface is limited and somewhat outdated and new functions are desired. This Google Summer of Code project aims to change that.
