| 27 | <h2 class="st">Overview</h2> |
| 28 | <p class="sp"><b>WPS</b> defines a standardized interface that facilitates the |
| 29 | publishing of geospatial processes, and the discovery and binding |
| 30 | to those processes by client applications. 'Processes' include any algorithm, |
| 31 | calculation or model that operates on spatially referenced |
| 32 | data. 'Publishing' means making available machine readable binding |
| 33 | information as well as human readable metadata that allows service |
| 34 | discovery and use. </p> |
| 35 | <p class="sp"><b>WPS</b> can be configured to offer any sort of GIS functionality to clients across a |
| 36 | network, including access to pre-programmed calculations and/or computation models |
| 37 | that operate on spatially referenced data. A WPS may offer calculations as simple as |
| 38 | subtracting one set of spatially referenced numbers from another, or as complicated as an |
| 39 | environnemntal model. The data required by the WPS can be delivered across a |
| 40 | network, or available at the server.</p> |
| 41 | |
| 42 | <h2 class="st">OpenGIS® WPS 1.0.0 specification</h2> |
| 43 | |
| 44 | <p class="sp"> The <b>WPS</b> interface specification provides mechanisms to identify the spatially referenced data |
| 45 | required by the calculation, initiate the calculation, and manage the output from the |
| 46 | calculation so that the client can access it. This Web Processing Service is targeted at |
| 47 | processing both vector and raster data.</p> |
| 48 | <p class="sp"> The <b>WPS</b> specification is designed to allow a service provider to expose a web accessible |
| 49 | process in a way that allows clients to input data and |
| 50 | execute the process with no specialized knowledge of the underlying physical process |
| 51 | interface or API. The WPS interface standardizes the way processes and their |
| 52 | inputs/outputs are described, how a client can request the execution of a process, and how |
| 53 | the output from a process is handled.</p> |
