Geospatial services and applications for the internet

The use of geospatial technologies has become ubiquitous since the leading Internet vendors delivered a number of popular map websites. Today, businesses are either migrating location-specific capabilities into their information systems, or expanding existing Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) implementationinto enterprise-wide solutions. As enterprise information systems evolve toward service-oriented architecture (SOA), geospatial technologies also evolve along the same lines. Geospatial Services and Applications for the Internet covers a wide spectrum of techniques, model methodologies and theories on development and applications of GIS relative to the internet. The world's experts in this emerging field present examples and case studies for location-based services, coastal restoration, urban planning, battlefield planning, rehearsal environmental analysis and assessment. Includes business process services, and integration of GIS into global enterprise information systems and service architectures. Includes information on Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS), and the Federal Earth Observation Missions (FedEo) Pilot program, essential for the workflow and decision support system of Homeland Security program.
