A GIS-Based Decision-Support Tool for Integrated Water Resources Management in the Middle Olifants River System. GI_Forum|GI_Forum 2015 – Geospatial Minds for Society|

We describe qualitative planning and decision support for Integrated Water Resource Management. The underlying method assesses the contamination risk of water resources on a quaternary catchment level, in order to identify hot-spot areas with high problem intensity and with a priority call for action. The method has been fully automated with the help of the Disy Cadenza workbench. The results have been made available to decision makers through a WebGIS (Cadenza Web) and through a Tablet-GIS (Cadenza Mobile) for offline usage

Tools for Distributed Geodata Processing Based on OGC Web Processing Services. GI_Forum|GI_Forum 2015 – Geospatial Minds for Society|

We sketch the main software components developed in the project RichWPS1, which aims to support end users (no IT experts) to make better use of distributed geodata processing through the OGC Web Processing Service (WPS). These services include a service orchestration solution (modelling GUI and orchestration engine), several supporting modules and services (like a semantics-enabled service registry as well as debugging and monitoring support for composed services), and some server-side helpers to facilitate true interoperability of services (like an adapter layer to bridge several “WPS dialects”)
