     1= Welcome to the ZOO Project  =
     2
     3ZOO is a WPS (Web Processing Service) open source project released under the [wiki:Licence MIT/X-11] license. It provides an OGC WPS compliant  developer-friendly framework to create and chain WPS webservices. ZOO is made of three parts:
     4
     5    * ZOO Kernel : A powerful server-side C Kernel which makes it possible managing and chaining webservices coded in different programming languages.
     6    * ZOO Services : A growing suite of example webservices based on various librairies open source libraries. (get inspired !)
     7    * ZOO API : A simple Javascript API able to call and chain the ZOO Services, which makes the developement and chaining processes easier.

     10= Powerful ZOO Kernel, that makes coffee =
     11
     12ZOO is based on a 'WPS Service Kernel' which constitutes the ZOO's core system (aka ZOO Kernel ). The latter is able to load dynamic librairies and to handle them as on-demand webservices. The ZOO Kernel is written in C language, but supports several common programming languages in order to stay opened to numerous librairies and above all to simplify the webservice end-developer's job.

     14= Use the ZOO Services and make your own =
     15
     16A ZOO service is as a couple composed by a metadata file (.zcfg) and the code for the corresponding implementation. The metadata file describes all the available functions which can be called using a WPS Exec Request, as well as the desired input/output. Services contain the algorithms and functions, and can now be implemented in C/C++, Fortran, Java, Python, PHP and Javascript.

     18= Easy implementation with the ZOO API =
     19
     20The ZOO API is a simple and concise Javascript library designed to call and chain the ZOO Services easily, and adds the glue between your ZOO Kernel installation and your webmapping application.
