However, the existing information technologies show a lack of effective sharing, aggregation, and cooperation services to handle the sensors, data, and processing resources to fulfill user\u2019s complicated tasks in near real-time. This paper presents a service-orientated architecture for proactive geospatial information services (PGIS), which integrates the sensors, data, processing, and human services. PGIS is designed to organize, aggregate, and co-operate services by composing small scale services into service chains to meet the complicated user requirements. It is a platform to provide real-time or near real-time data collection, storage, and processing capabilities. It is a flexible, reusable, and scalable system to share and interoperate geospatial data, information, and services. The developed PGIS framework has been implemented and preliminary experiments have been performed to verify its performance. The results show that the basic functions such as task analysis, managing sensors for data acquisition, service composition, service chain construction and execution are validated, and the important properties of PGIS, including interoperability, flexibility, and reusability, are achieved.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/fi3040298","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,12,19]],"date-time":"2011-12-19T11:07:16Z","timestamp":1324292836000},"page":"298-318","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["A Service-Oriented Architecture for Proactive Geospatial Information Services"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"3","author":[{"given":"Haifeng","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geosciences and Info-Physics, and School of Civil Engineering, Central South University, 22 Shaoshan South Road, Changsha 410004, China"}]},{"given":"Bo","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Land Surveying & Geo-Informatics, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,12,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"415","DOI":"10.1109\/JSTARS.2010.2089575","article-title":"Earth Observation Sensor Web: An Overview","volume":"3","author":"Di","year":"2010","journal-title":"IEEE J.
