The geographic information service is enabled by the advancements in general Web service technology and the focused efforts of the OGC in defining XML based Web GIS service. Based on these models, this paper addresses the issue of services chaining, the process of combining or pipelining results from several interoperable GIS Web Services to create a customized solution. This paper presents a mediated chaining architecture in which a specific service takes responsibility for performing the process that describes a service chain. We designed the Spatial Information Process Language (SIPL) for dynamic modeling and describing the service chain, also a prototype of the Spatial Information Process Execution Engine (SIPEE) is implemented for executing processes written in SIPL. Discussion of measures to improve the functionality and performance of such system will be included.
The problem of long transactions is a significant problem in spatial database. The checkout mechanism and multi version mechanism are two kind methods of solving the problem of long transactions. In this paper, we present a Shallow Version Management mechanism to realize multi version mechanism in spatial database. And we introduced a increment storage and dynamic version views building method to improve efficiency of storing and consulting. We also illuminate how to resolve the problem of long transaction concurrency control in spatial database by using multi version mechanism. At the end of this paper, we introduce some required means to version management in spatial database, like converge, compress and delete.
