52°North Web Processing Service

The 52°North Web Processing Service (WPS) enables the deployment of geo-processes on the web in a standardized way. It features a pluggable architecture for processes and data encodings. The implementation is based on the current OpenGIS specification: 05-007r7.

Its focus was the creation of an extensible framework to provide algorithms for generalization on the web.

More information available at the 52°North Geoprocessing Community.

Features

  • Java-based Open Source implementation.
  • Supports all features and operations of WPS specification version 1.0.0 (document 05-007r7)
  • Pluggable framework for algorithms and XML data handling and processing frameworks
  • Build up on robust libraries (JTS, geotools, XMLBeans, servlet API, derby)
  • Experimental transactional profile (WPS-T)
  • Web GUI to maintain the service

Supported Backends

The 52°North WPS provides wrappers to well-established (geographical) computation backends.

  • WPS4R - R Backend
  • GRASS out of the box extension
  • 220+ SEXTANTE Processes
  • ArcGIS Server Connector
  • Moving Code backend, including Python support

Development

Use git to clone the WPS repository:

git clone https://github.com/52North/WPS.git

Then just run mvn clean install on the repositories root directory.

Integration Testing

The WPS comes with a variety of integration tests which are performed using Jetty. In order to execute integration tests in a maven build, activate the dedicated profile through mvn clean install -Pintegration-test.
