“…Benel and Lejeune (2009) provides another example with experiments showing how live data addition and analysis using tag information of texts could benefit from Web 2.0. By adopting a service-oriented architecture (Foster 2005), a live data-and-methods section become services offered by interconnected servers and service chains (Friis-Christensen et al 2009). …”

Web 2.0 services and social networking offer possibilities to transform academic publishing to facilitate scientific dialogue. We present 'The Live Paper' in this editorial as a concept to consider how to leverage existing web technologies to produce rich, omnidirectional, and interactive narratives on research. Following the format of a traditional research report we describe and discuss how to enrich research reports utilizing various types of analytical tools, data, and web services in a published paper embedded in evolving scientific discourse. We also consider how the live papers would influence the practice, culture, and economy of academic research. We conclude that geospatial researchers have an opportunity to lead this development towards richer and more open ways of communicating our findings. The technology and infrastructure to do so exist today, but several barriers remain.

“…In orchestration, a central controller keeps logic and controls activities. For instance, a user can orchestrate services such as conflagration history, temperature and pixels classifier to calculate fire risk in forest areas [6]. In choreography, abstract messages are exchanged between two or more parties and none of them can controls and manages the others.…”

“…After two decades' development, the SDIs has evolved from its early stage of offering geoportal or spatial web protals that integrate on-line map viewers and search services, to a frameworks for easy and flexible development of GI applications by providing standardised data access interfaces as well as mechanisms for composing the offered GI services into service chains (Christensen et al, 2009). For environmental and meteorological modelling, it is often necessary to bring together disparate Earth Observation (EO) datasets and model outputs to try to analyse the complex Earth system processes (Liu et al, 2008).…”

ABSTRACT:Dust storms are known to have adverse effects on public health. Atmospheric dust loading is also one of the major uncertainties in global climatic modelling as it is known to have a significant impact on the radiation budget and atmospheric stability. The complexity of building scientific dust storm models is coupled with the scientific computation advancement, ongoing computing platform development, and the development of heterogeneous Earth Observation (EO) networks. It is a challenging task to develop an integrated and automated scheme for dust storm detection that combines Geo-Processing frameworks, scientific models and EO data together to enable the dust storm detection and tracking processes in a dynamic and timely manner. This study develops an automated and integrated framework for dust storm detection and tracking based on the Web Processing Services (WPS) initiated by Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). The presented WPS framework consists of EO data retrieval components, dust storm detecting and tracking component, and service chain orchestration engine. The EO data processing component is implemented based on OPeNDAP standard. The dust storm detecting and tracking component combines three earth scientific models, which are SBDART model (for computing aerosol optical depth (AOT) of dust particles), WRF model (for simulating meteorological parameters) and HYSPLIT model (for simulating the dust storm transport processes). The service chain orchestration engine is implemented based on Business Process Execution Language for Web Service (BPEL4WS) using open-source software. The output results, including horizontal and vertical AOT distribution of dust particles as well as their transport paths, were represented using KML/XML and displayed in Google Earth. A serious dust storm, which occurred over East Asia from 26 to 28 Apr 2012, is used to test the applicability of the proposed WPS framework. Our aim here is to solve a specific instance of a complex EO data and scientific model integration problem by using a framework and scientific workflow approach together. The experimental result shows that this newly automated and integrated framework can be used to give advance near real-time warning of dust storms, for both environmental authorities and public. The methods presented in this paper might be also generalized to other types of Earth system models, leading to improved ease of use and flexibility.
