6 | What is ZOO-Kernel ? |
---|
7 | ==================== |
---|
8 | |
---|
9 | ZOO-Kernel is the heart of the `ZOO-Project <http://zoo-project.org>`_ WPS platform. It is a WPS compliant implementation written in C language which provides a powerful and extensible WPS server. |
---|
10 | |
---|
11 | ZOO-Kernel implements and complies with the `WPS 1.0.0 <http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/wps/>`_ standard edited by the `Open Geospatial Consortium <http://www.opengeospatial.org/>`_. It is able to perform the WPS operations as indicated in the OpenGIS |reg| specification, as listed bellow: |
---|
12 | |
---|
13 | * **GetCapablities**: Returns service-level metadata information.It provides the list of available processing services. |
---|
14 | * **DescribeProcess**: Returns a description of a process, including its supported input and output. |
---|
15 | * **Execute**: Launches computation and returns the output produced by a particular process. |

21 | ZOO-Kernel is an extensible WPS server that makes your system more powerful. It provides a full-featured processing engine which runs on Linux, Mac OSX |trade| and Windows |trade| operating systems. ZOO-Kernel works on common web servers (namely `Apache <http://httpd.apache.org/>`_ or `IIS <http://www.iis.net/>`_ |trade|) and can be seamlessly integrated to new or existing web platforms. |
---|
22 | |
---|
23 | ZOO-Kernel lets you process geospatial or non geospatial data using well formed WPS requests. The WPS server is able to manage and chain WPS Services (see ZOO-Services for examples) by loading dynamic libraries and source code written in different programming languages. |
---|
24 | |
---|
25 | Supported programming languages |
---|
26 | ............................... |
---|
27 | |
---|
28 | ZOO-Kernel is a **polyglot**. The software is written in a valid form of multiple programming languages, which performs the same operations independent of the programming language used to compile or interpret it. |
