The OGC seeks comments on candidate OGC Web Processing Service 2.0 Standard
Contact: info@anonymised.com
26 August 2014. The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) membership seeks
public comment on the candidate OGC Web Processing Service (WPS) Version 2.0 Interface Standard.
In many cases geospatial or location data, including data from sensors,
must be processed before the information can be used effectively. The
OGC Web Processing Service (WPS) Interface Standard provides a standard
interface that simplifies the task of making simple or complex
computational processing services accessible via web services. Such
services include well-known processes found in spatial extract,
transform, and load (ETL) software and GIS software as well as
specialized processes such as coordinate transformation and spatial and
temporal modeling and simulation. Moreover, the WPS standard supports
both immediate processing for computational tasks that take little time
and asynchronous processing for more complex and time consuming tasks.
While the OGC WPS standard was designed with spatial processing in mind,
it can also be used to readily insert non-spatial processing tasks into
a web services environment.
This WPS 2.0 candidate standard is a revision of WPS 1.0 (published in
2007). It incorporates change requests that have been submitted since
the release of WPS 1.0 and provides improved support for process
cataloguing and retrieval. Downloads and additional details are
available at http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/requests/125 .
The 30 day public comment period for the candidate OGC Web Processing
Service (WPS) Version 2.0 Interface Standard ends 25 September 2014 .
After the OGC’s WPS Standards Working Group has addressed comments
received in response to this Request for Comments (RFC) the draft
document will be submitted to the OGC Technical Committee and Planning
Committee for their review and possible approval as an adopted OGC Standard.
The OGC is an international consortium of more than 475 companies,
government agencies, research organizations, and universities
participating in a consensus process to develop publicly available
geospatial standards. OGC standards support interoperable solutions that
"geo-enable" the Web, wireless and location-based services, and
mainstream IT. Visit the OGC website at http://www.opengeospatial.org/ .
