There’s a couple of different efforts going on to do web processing over the web — in an effort to understand what it’s all about, I put together a little web processing server and a demo to go along with it.<\/p>\n
WPServer Demo<\/a><\/p>\n Using OGR and the GEOS operators built into it, it allows one to do operations I’m told are common: buffering, centroid, convex hull, and dissolve.<\/p>\n The source for these operations is simple: as few as 8 lines to define your own operation, as the OGRGeos operators<\/a> and the Shapely buffer operation<\/a> show.<\/p>\n The Boston Routing Demo<\/a> is also now using WPServer to do its routing, via the PGrouting<\/a> action. <\/p>\n Although WPServer shares an acronym with OGC’s WPS, it doesn’t yet implement WPS — however, like FeatureServer, it has a pluggable frontend architecture for determining the types of actions to perform… but only REST + GeoJSON are supported so far \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n I think it’s a pretty looking demo, even if I’m not sure if it’s useful at all. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There’s a couple of different efforts going on to do web processing over the web — in an effort to understand what it’s all about, I put together a little web processing server and a demo to go along with it.
