As an important value-added function for GIS service, GIS service chain provides the application foundation for reusing and automation composition GIS services. An important issue for realizing the value-added service is ensuring the operation results of GIS service chain meet the user needs, so it needs to verify the correctness of GIS service chain. This paper introduces the equivalence theory of Pi-calculus. A practical GIS service chain formal model is established using Pi-calculus. The validity of GIS service chain model and whether it meets the need are verified using the formal tools.
