| description | We propose to advance the scientific understanding through applications of geospatial service platforms, which can help students
and researchers investigate various scientific problems in a Web-based environment with online tools and services. The platform also
offers capabilities for sharing data, algorithm, and problem-solving knowledge. To fulfil this goal, the paper introduces a new course,
named "Geospatial Service Platform for Education and Research", to be held in the ISPRS summer school in May 2014 at Wuhan
University, China. The course will share cutting-edge achievements of a geospatial service platform with students from different
countries, and train them with online tools from the platform for geospatial data processing and scientific research. The content of
the course includes the basic concepts of geospatial Web services, service-oriented architecture, geoprocessing modelling and
chaining, and problem-solving using geospatial services. In particular, the course will offer a geospatial service platform for handson
practice. There will be three kinds of exercises in the course: geoprocessing algorithm sharing through service development,
geoprocessing modelling through service chaining, and online geospatial analysis using geospatial services. Students can choose one
of them, depending on their interests and background. Existing geoprocessing services from OpenRS and GeoPW will be introduced.
The summer course offers two service chaining tools, GeoChaining and GeoJModelBuilder, as instances to explain specifically the
method for building service chains in view of different demands. After this course, students can learn how to use online service
platforms for geospatial resource sharing and problem-solving. |
