GIS Smart Cloud Services
•
Implement based on Services Lifecycle Methodology Framework by UMBC
ebiquity research
– A semantically rich, policy-based framework to automate the lifecycle of virtualized services on
the Terrafly cloud.
– Use Semantic web languages/technologies
•
•
Interoperability
OWL (Web Ontology Language), RDF (Resource Description Framework), and associated reasoning
infrastructure.
– Tie the service requirements with the Enterprise policies or individual preferences (expressed
as policy)
– Develop a service quality framework
•
TerraFly® GIS spatial Computing flow lifecycle in acquiring, consuming and
monitoring Cloud based services.
– Cloud Service API
•
•
Use TerraFly® GIS spatial Computing API to start spatial computing
Get all spatial computing functions with simple instructions
– GIS Data Visualization API
•
•
Use TerraFly® GIS Data Visualization API to create your own maps
Use cloud data for layers and drill-down
