[ka-Map-users] PyWPS on ka-Map

[Lorenzo Becchi]

Dear list,
here at Ominiverdi we have a new component, Doktoreas, that invited  
me to help him in his nice project: to put GRASS on ka-Map.

The project actually has a wider target as Doktoreas started to refer  
to PyWPS to access system calls.
PyWPS is an implementation of the OCG WPS standard:
http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/requests/28

the PyWPS site is:
http://pywps.wald.intevation.org/

PyWPS has a "natural" link to GRASS but can easily be extended with  
direct calls to other great software as R, GDAL, ecc.

My first implementations of Doktoreas's scripts are available here:
http://pywps.ominiverdi.org/ka-map/htdocs/index_wps.html
http://pywps.ominiverdi.org/ka-map/htdocs/index_wps_winman.html


other samples of GRASS interaction are available here:
http://pywps.ominiverdi.org/subversion/trunk/web/

all this are concept applications and much code has to be written and  
refined.
Installation process in not easy, anyway my ka-Map code is available  
on CVS. I will not give support on installation until this code will  
be considered stable.

An enhancement that could be soon integrated on Hilite system is the  
SLD support to force styles of overlay layer.

as usual, I'll be happy to receive comments and suggestions

thanks
Lorenzo
