This document discusses Landcare Research's implementation of a greenhouse gas emissions model using the OGC Web Processing Service (WPS) standard in a science collaboration environment. It describes the inputs and process definition for the emissions algorithm WPS process. Issues discussed include efficiently fetching raster data, value attribute table implementations, and challenges of OGC standards being bulky while also needing to ensure interoperability.

19. Closing thoughts (1) OGC Standards => Big and Bulky WPS very flexible but 'heavyweight' Like to be small and nimble (rest, custom architecture) Selling point for OGC is Interoperability need good clients => again difficult because of flexibility of standards WPS 2.0 profiles ?
20. Closing thoughts (2) WPS-G / Grid processing Scalability / high availability Easy to implement, but also possible via alternatives Parallelization new class of problems
