Definición

  • Geographic information system (GIS) Web services represent an evolution of traditional standalone GIS applications available in desktop environments with database back-ends for storing data, and they provide the components for a spatial data infrastructure (SDI). GIS Web services are self-contained application components that are published and accessed over the World Wide Web using standard protocols such as HTTP, SOAP, and XML. Each service performs a specific GIS function as part of a loosely coupled and distributed geographic application (also called a distributed GIS).
