Abstract
This paper illustrates a GIS (Geographic Information Systems) application integration framework, which utilizes GIS Grid services (GGS) to enable large-scale resource sharing and better reusing of legacy systems. Considering the fundamental requirements of GGS, a design with sophisticated interfaces which enables explicit state semantics is proposed as a major contribution of this study. In addition, a prototype system of GGS based on legacy systems and web services is developed. Furthermore, the implementations are evaluated in a grid service selector environment proposed in another paper of this project.
Supported by the Industrial Research Projects of the Science and Technology Plan of Guangdong Province, P.R. China, under Grant No. 2003A1030403.
