3 | Introduction |
4 | ============ |
5 | |
6 | ZOO Services are example Web services which work with the ZOO :ref:`Kernel <kernel-introduction>`. |
7 | They are based on various existing Open Source libraries and tend to provide simple Web processing |
8 | functions such as GIS format conversion, GIS file reprojection, basic spatial operations, |
9 | basic raster operations... |
10 | |
11 | The available ZOO Services are under development and come without any warranty. They are based |
12 | on existing code and prove that the :ref:`ZOO Kernel <kernel-introduction>` works with many different |
13 | codes and languages (please have a look to the ZOO demos!). The ZOO Project team wants to encourage |
14 | people to use the ZOO Services as a functional basis for Web processing, but above all to provide a |
15 | source of inspiration to the community for creating new ZOO Services. |

20 | A ZOO Service is a couple composed of: |
21 | |
22 | - The code you want to turn into a standardized Web service |
23 | - A configuration file (.zcfg) which describes this Web service |
24 | |
