Dear QGIS developers,<br>
at the National Research Council of Italy in Pisa we have just
released a free WPS service running in a distributed
e-Infrastructure and using Cloud computing behind the scenes. The
name of the service is DataMiner and collects several methods
developed by computational biology, oceanography and data mining
communities. We have successfully tested this service with QGIS and
we would like to make it available among the default WPS services in
the official distribution of QGIS.<br>
<br>
The service usage is free, after obtaining a token on our projects
Web portal (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://i-marine.d4science.org">http://i-marine.d4science.org</a>)
and subscribing to one of our Virtual Research Environments. The
available algorithms change according to the VRE. <br>
<br>
The access point to this distributed network of web services is <a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://dataminer.d4science.org/wps/WebProcessingService"><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://dataminer.d4science.org/wps/WebProcessingService">http://dataminer.d4science.org/wps/WebProcessingService</a></a><br>
<br>
To make the service work you need to provide a user token. Here is
one user name and token for testing purposes:

Thank you very much for your attention and I hope you will help me
understanding how to embed the WPS link within QGIS releases.<br>
