Interoperability and Integration Framework of Geospatial Information Atomic Services on the Grid

A new concept of geospatial information atomic service is proposed for distributed geospatial information service (GIService). The interoperability model and interoperability layered structure of the atomic services are presented. Subsequently the integration framework of atomic services is put forward, which includes service classification framework, service chaining patterns and service integrating model composed of atomic services, molecule services, process services and solution services.
