| description | The object-oriented database architecture DB4GeO was originally designed to support sub-surface applications in the geo-sciences.
This is reflected in DB4GeO's geometric data model as well as in its import and export functions. Initially, these functions were
designed for communication with 3D geological modeling and visualization tools such as GOCAD or MeshLab. However, it soon
became clear that DB4GeO was suitable for a much wider range of applications. Therefore it is natural to move away from a standalone
solution and to open the access to DB4GeO data by standardized OGC web-services. Though REST and OGC services seem
incompatible at first sight, the implementation in DB4GeO shows that OGC-based implementation of web-services may use parts of
the DB4GeO-REST implementation. Starting with initial solutions in the history of DB4GeO, this paper will introduce the design,
adaptation (i.e. model transformation), and first steps in the implementation of OGC Web Feature (WFS) and Web Processing
Services (WPS), as new interfaces to DB4GeO data and operations. Among its capabilities, DB4GeO can provide data in different
data formats like GML, GOCAD, or DB3D XML through a WFS, as well as its ability to run operations like a 3D-to-2D service, or
mesh-simplification (Progressive Meshes) through a WPS. We then demonstrate, an Android-based mobile 3D augmented reality
viewer for DB4GeO that uses the Web Feature Service to visualize 3D geo-database query results. Finally, we explore future
research work considering DB4GeO in the framework of the research group "Computer-Aided Collaborative Subway Track Planning
in Multi-Scale 3D City and Building Models". |
