<div dir="ltr"><div>Hello Anunay and welcome to this list.</div><div><br></div><div>I think you did a great choice for your 'web based GIS system', because WPS can handle pretty much things for it. </div><div><br></div>
<div>As far as i know, there are 5 open source WPS platforms out there, but GeoTools isn't one (although it is used by GeoServer). Your list would then become, by alphabetical order:</div><div>1. Degree</div><div>2. GeoServer</div>
<div>3. PyWPS </div><div>4. ZooWPS</div><div>5. 52North</div><div><br></div><div>They are all implementing the WPS specification from OGC and they are all open source.</div><div><br></div><div>I guess they are all able to run GIS algorithms available from other open source libraries such as GDAL, GRASS, Sextante, GeoTools, Sextante...,using different methods.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Most of them are written in Java or Python, but ZOO-Kernel (ZOO-Project engine) is written in C language. </div><div>This somehow allows him to execute WPS Services coded in different languages (C, Python, Java, JavaScript...), so you won't be limited to only Java or Python. It can open doors to 'any' source code you want to turn into a compliant Web Service. </div>
<div><br></div><div>This is my simple ZOOer answer, but i would recommend you post such a generic question to <a href="mailto:wps-dev@lists.opengeospatial.org">wps-dev@lists.opengeospatial.org</a>, so you would probably get more answers from the different projects developers and users.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Good luck and feel free to ask more questions on this list too.</div><div><br></div><div>Best regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Nick</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br>

<div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">We have a requirement where in we need to expose our analysis to a web based GIS system. We decided to do it using WPS. </span><div><font face="arial, sans-serif"><br>
</font><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">However I have general question about WPS (This may not be the best platform but still.)</div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">What is a difference between different WPS Frameworks out there</div>

I am not sure which one to choose and what are things I need to consider when making this choice.</div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Also if you can let me know where ZooWPS stands when compared with the rest (My thinking here is since they all provide OGC WPS Implementation they all should be doing pretty much the same thing, but that is a wild thought)</div>
