Integration of grid and OGC compliant servcies to implement the sharing and interoperability of multi-source and heterogeneous geospatial data

This paper integrates grid technology and OGC compliant services to design and implemented a geospatial Web service platform for the western region's surveying and mapping project. It can make use of OGC common services and interoperability interfaces to supply efficient and secure data management, publishing and inquiries in the heterogeneous computer environment and as well as multi-scale seamless display in 3D GeoGlobe. As an integration of grid technology and the OGC Web services, this platform has many advantages that traditional platform can't provide, including open, standardization, security and the ability to integrate heterogeneous services and support for heterogeneous data types, and having a good query and visualization effectiveness as well.
