[GRASS-user] GRASS modules as web services (orchestration)

Hi to all

For those interested, the NETMAR project has extended PyWPS capabilities and with the help of WPS-GRASS-project we can server GRASS modules as web services that in turn can be easily orchestrated with software like taverna workbench (this is a generic workflow editor/engine www.taverna.org.uk), in theory any orchestration structure supporting WSDL/SOAP, should be able to interact with the GRASS modules thru WPS.

I’ve made some example videos, with r.watershed,r.mapcalc (r.math), v.voronoi

For, those interrested PyWPS has a wiki with all the technical information (check the Taverna section):

Any suggestions/feed back is more than welcome :slight_smile:
