OGCOGC –– AA SnapshotSnapshot • Membership is world wide – 35 countries & 6 continents – 142 European members – 35 Asia-Pacific members • Eighteen approved, publicly and freely available Implementation Specifications • Many more candidate standards in work – Sensor Web Enablement (4) in final edits now • OGC Reference Model defines interoperable net-centric geo architecture ® Helping the World to Communicate Geographically 4 Copyright 2006, Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc. (OGC) WhyWhy Standards?Standards? • Reduces Development Risk: – Technical – Schedule – Cost • Enables interoperability – Capability to communicate, execute programs, or transfer data among various functional units in a manner that requires the user to have little or no knowledge of the unique characteristics of those units– ISO 2382-1. – "The ability for a system or components of a system to provide information portability and interapplication, cooperative process control.

(OGC) WhyWhy Partner?Partner? • Standards defeat software stovepipes, but we must be careful not to create standards stovepipes • No single organization possesses the knowledge to do it all • Geospatial is part of virtually all human experience: – Everything happens somewhere at sometime • Location maybe so trivial that we don’t need a computer • Location value maybe so low we cannot afford a computer • Many things become possible as costs fall and usability goes up • Standards Development Organizations (SDOs) have to ‘walk the walk’ themselves – it is not enough to rail at vendors and users to ‘open up and standardize’ and then stay closed ourselves ® Helping the World to Communicate Geographically 7 Copyright 2006, Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc.

  • Implementing OGC Web Map Service Client Applications Using JSP, JSTL and XMLC
    Implementing OGC Web Map Service Client Applications Using JSP, JSTL and XMLC Hao Ding , Richard Pascoe & Neville Churcher Department of Computer Science University of Canterbury. Christchurch, New Zealand Phone: +64 3 364-2362 Fax: +64 3 364-2569 Email: [email protected] , {richard, neville}@cosc.canterbury.ac.nz Presented at SIRC 2002 – The 14th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand th December 3-5 2002 ABSTRACT Java technologies are widely used in web application development. In this paper are described three approaches to developing Java-based web applications and our experiences with applying each to the development of client that interact with servers implementing the OGC (Open GIS Consortium) Web Map Service (WMS) specification. Also described is the installation and configuration of open source software that implements the WMS specification. The paper is concluded with some preliminary insights into when one of the three approaches to WMS client implementation is more suited to another. Keywords and phrases: WMS, JSP, JSTL, XMLC, map layer, web map server 1.0 INTRODUCTION Of the many technologies, such as Common Gateway Interface (CGI), Active Server Pages (ASP), JavaServer Pages (JSP), that are used to develop web applications, three are of particular interest to the research presented here. These three technologies or approaches to developing clients that utilise web services are JavaServer Pages (JSP), JSP with the use of tags from the JSP Standard Tag Library (JSTL), and the eXtensible Markup Language Compiler (XMLC). JSP is a more convenient way to write Java servlets, and allows the insertion of Java code directly into static HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) pages.

I have performed this research part-time at the section GIS Technology of TU Delft in cooperation with the Kadaster (the Dutch Cadastre), in order to get the Master of Science degree in Geodetic Engineering. Typing the last words for this thesis, I have been realizing more than ever that this thesis marks the end of my time as a student at the TU Delft. However, I also realize that I have been working to this point with joy. Many people are “responsible” for this, but I’d like to mention the people who have contributed most. First of all, there are of course people who were directly involved in the research project. Peter van Oosterom had many critical notes and - maybe even more important - the ideas born out of his enthusiasm improved the entire research.
