| 1 | = Bringing pyModis to the web through ZOO-Project = |
| 2 | |
| 3 | == Brief description of your idea == |
| 4 | The pyModis project has been developed and used to work with MODIS data, it provides wxPython user interfaces which are able to download and process data using [http://www.pymodis.org/scripts/software.html pyModis scripts]. pyModis depends on a desktop graphical user interface which does not make it directly usable from a web application. The idea of this GSoC proposal is to bring pyModis to the web by publishing Python Web Processing Services using the ZOO-Project technology accessible through a minimal web application. |
| 5 | |
| 6 | {{{ |
| 7 | An idea which can be implemented for the future, based on this initial work, include the creation of new services by combining pyModis, GRASS, OTB and SAGA-GIS services. |
| 8 | }}} |
| 9 | |
| 10 | == State of the software before GSoC == |
| 11 | Currently pyModis is able to run on a local computer but cannot be directly remotely invoked on-demand. ZOO-Project is able to handle services implemented in the Python language but do not offer any pyModis capabilities. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | == State of the software after GSoC == |
| 14 | pyModis capabilities will be directly available online, a minimal User Interfaces will be provided and pyModis services would be able to be remotely invoked through ZOO-Project using the WPS protocol, so from any client application providing the WPS capabilities, such as QGIS for instance. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | == Schedule == |
| 17 | Prior to the start of the GSoC period, I will learn in more details every of the involved technologies, starting with ZOO-Project and pyModis. First, by learning how to write zcfg and Python service should be implemented for ZOO-Project, then services that use specific pyModis capabilities. To finish, I will have a deep look in the Hogan templating system used by the ZOO-Client (part of the ZOO-Project). Having learnt pyModis scripts in details, I should be able to evaluate the commonly used data types to be taken into account during the User Interface design and anticipate the HTML elements to use. |

| 41 | === Programming and GIS === |
| 42 | I am a 28 year-old 2rd year student at the Naresuan University in Thailand. I am pursuing my Bachelors in Geography and Masters by research in Geographic Information Science. GIS is my specialization for research in my Masters. I am looking forward to pursue a career in the fields with GIS as a core concept. I am interested in open source development as it is extremely helpful to developers everywhere to create new and improved programs to solve real world problems. I have been working on WPS services implementation as a part of my research in the field of Spatial Informatics and started learning about the ZOO-Project WPS. After discussing my idea with the ZOO-Project WPS team, their feedback helped me a lot in refining and redesigning my idea. |
