Development of geoprocessing applications for the Pantanal using automated compositions of web services.

Abstract

This paper presents an approach to develop geo-processing applications for the Pantanal region using automated compositions of geographic Web Services. The procedure for the automatic construction of these compositions is based on rules of geo-data quality requirements which indicate the conditions for geo-data use by a geo-processing functionality. These rules can be defined to describe geospatial characteristics to select suitable geo-processing services for use in the Pantanal region. Therefore this approach produces more robust and reliable service compositions, generating better quality geo-data when compared with other composition approaches.Número especial
