SAW-GEO aims to develop semantically-aware workflow engines for supporting the orchestration of geospatial web services. By incorporating a semantic component into the web service infrastructure, it is envisaged that the conceptualisations of the different user groups served by JISC will be represented.
The objectives which will help achieve this aim include:
Included in the aim of the project is collaboration with the SEE-GEO research activity being undertaken at EDINA, University of Edinburgh. The evaluation of the web service orchestration approach developed will involve participation of web services being developed at Newcastle University and at EDINA. SAW-GEO will prepare scenario-testing which will involve consuming EDINA services and encountering the security issues addressed by SEE-GEO. Further collaboration in scenario testing with the MoSeS (Modelling and Simulation in e-Social Science) project run out of the National Centre for e-Social Science will be sought.
