DAGIS: A Geospatial Semantic Web Services Discovery and Selection Framework

The traditional Web services architecture uses a keyword based search to match a query to one or more service providers. However, a world-toward matching to discover a service provider is too simplistic for geospatial data and fails to capture matches that advertise their functionality using domain dependent terminology. This paper presents DAGIS (Discovering Annotated Geospatial Information Services) - a semantic Web services based framework for geospatial domain that has graphical interface to query and discover services.
