| 3 | ZOO is a WPS (Web Processing Service) open source project released under the [wiki:Licence MIT/X-11 license]. It provides an [http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/wps OGC WPS compliant] developer-friendly framework to create and chain WPS webservices. Its main goals are to gather existing open source librairies and to make them communicate in a standardized way, but also to simplify the end-developer's job by providing an easy method to create new webservices. |
