Description
This book "Service Oriented Mapping 2012" presents diverse aspects of modern map production and geobusiness that were collected during the first Symposium on Service Oriented Mapping from November 22nd to 23rd 2012 in Vienna. All aspects are related to Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA). This conceptual approach SOA helps to model and establish flexible processes. It mainly influences the architectural design of web technologies and has enormous impact on the distribution, production, embedding and user acceptance of modern maps.
The idea of SOA for map production sounds great and may help to keep storage requirements low. But before improvidently changing to SOA infrastructures for map production, its use, restrictions and future potential should be explored. Therefore open questions have to be answered and field reports should be exchanged. At the moment different stakeholders, reaching from national mapping agencies to industries, standardisation bodies to NGOs and research institutions to application providers deal with questions of SOA in map production and geobusiness.
