r120 r126 1 Welcome to the ZOO Project 2 ================= =========1 ZOO Documentation 2 ================= 3 3 4 ZOO is a WPS (Web Processing Service) open source project released under a :ref:`MIT/X-11 style license <license>`.5 It provides an OGC WPS compliant developer-friendly framework to create and chain WPS Web services.6 ZOO is made of three parts: 4 The ZOO Project documentation is under construction. Here are listed the available 5 docs on differents components of the ZOO Project. Feel free to use it and 6 help us to write it ! 7 7 8 - ZOO Kernel : A powerful server-side C Kernel which makes it possible to manage and chain 9 Web services coded in different programming languages. 10 - ZOO Services : A growing suite of example Web services based on various Open Source libraries. 11 (get inspired !) 12 - ZOO API : A server-side JavaScript API able to call and chain the ZOO Services, which makes the 13 development and chaining processes easier. 8 - ZOO Kernel documentation 9 - ZOO Services documentation 10 - ZOO API documentation 14 11 15 Powerful ZOO Kernel, that makes coffee 16 -------- ------------------------------12 Workshop 13 -------- 17 14 18 ZOO is based on a 'WPS Service Kernel' which constitutes the ZOO's core system (aka ZOO Kernel). 19 The latter is able to load dynamic libraries and to handle them as on-demand Web services. 20 The ZOO Kernel is written in C language, but supports several common programming languages in 21 order to connect to numerous libraries and above all to simplify the Web service end-developer's job. 15 "Practical introduction to ZOO: The Open WPS Platform" 22 16 23 Use the ZOO Services and make your own 24 -------------------------------------- 25 26 A ZOO service is a link composed of a metadata file (.zcfg) and the code for the corresponding 27 implementation. The metadata file describes all the available functions which can be called using 28 a WPS Exec Request, as well as the desired input/output. Services contain the algorithms and functions, 29 and can now be implemented in C/C++, Fortran, Java, Python, PHP, Perl and JavaScript. 30 31 Easy implementation with the ZOO API 32 ------------------------------------ 33 34 The ZOO API is a simple and concise JavaScript library designed to call and chain the ZOO Services 35 easily, and adds the capability to define logic in the chaining of your ZOO Services. 17 - Wiki Material in english or in japanese. 18 - ODT or PDF Material in english, japanese, italian.
