METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DEVELOPING GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION WEB SERVICE FRAMEWORK FOR GIS PROVIDERS

摘要

Embodiments of the invention provide a method and a system for developing a GIS web services architecture for a user. The GIS web services architecture is developed using core libraries that are associated with object-oriented computer programming. A GIS web request invokes a GIS web service. This GIS web service calls a service library associated with it. Further, the service library interacts with the core libraries to instantiate an implementation object of a provider implementation class. Moreover, an abstraction of the GIS function is created based on the implementation object such that the abstraction of the GIS function is associated with the GIS function. Thereafter; a GIS web response is provided to the user. The user access the GIS function through the GIS web service using a client application.
