Evaluation of OGC Web Services for Local Spatial Data Infrastructures and for the Development of Clients for Geographic Information Systems

  • Chapter
Advances in Geoinformatics

Abstract

Interoperability is one of the most important challenges related to GIS. Through the last years, research on interoperability has evolved from the simple off-line exchange of standardized-format files, through the establishment of spatial data clearinghouses, and to the first initiatives in the treatment of semantic aspects of data. Practical interoperability, however, is still hampered by the need to agree on standards, and to develop appropriate tools and methods
