Design and Implementation of an Integrated WMS Service Portal

The open standard (Web Mapping Service, WMS) promulgated by OGC has enabled the share and interoperation of web based mapping. This paper presented the design and implementation of an integrated WMS portal based on existing WMS. The technical and functional designs are detailed on the following components: WMS viewer in the client, gazetteer service, remote data transferring and processing, geospatial database and its automatic update. We also discussed how these components are integrated seamlessly through service chain to provide a highly efficient WMS portal.
