1. [Web] Geoprocessing A Practical Approach Castellón, June 2014 Javier Abadía Technical Marketing, ESRI España

2. What is Geo-Processing? Apply [geographical] functionality to [geographical] data - Transform Data (ETL) - Batch Processing - Analyze Data

3. Analyze Data Transforming data into decisions

4. ArcGIS Geoprocessing Engine Composable tools Thousands of tools Model Builder Generic UI Python - Use the tools from python - Include python in the tools [and anything you can call from python] Embedded in ArcGIS software across desktop, server, cloud, mobile… DEMO

5. GeoProcessing Models DEMO

7. Geo-processing is a service Simple request Complex elaboration Simple Request - Simple input parameters - Simple output results Complex elaboration - Complex processing - Complex geographic data

8. Geoprocessing is a Service

9. Simple Request Simple Input Parameters Simple Output Results

10. Complex Processing Complex Geographic Data

11. Services is what Web is all about request → response KVP SOAP REST

12. Web Geoprocessing DEMO

13. What about WPS? http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/wps Was published in 2007 GP is congruent with WPS All GP services support WPS interface - Same approach as WMS, WFS in ArcGIS - Just “check a box” REST interface is way simpler - arguably more open - not easy to find a well implemented WPS client DEMO

14. Summary Geoprocessing is a Service - Simple inputs, Simple outputs - Complex processing, complex data Web Geoprocessing works well in practice WPS or REST, it doesn’t matter - although simplicity helps
