Automated web-based geoprocessing of rental prices

Abstract

Increasingly, geodata processing is being relocated to web-based services. A pioneering role was played here by the Open Geospatial Consortium(OGC) and the standardized OGC Web Processing Services (WPS). In addition to WPS, a large number of non-standardized online services and libraries, developed in the recent years, allow the web-based processing of spatial data. As geodata processing moved to web-based services, it led to an exponential increase in the availability of data with a spatial component on the World Wide Web. Several web-based services possess the capabilities to geoprocess real estate data as rental prices. The aim of this article is to explore semi-or fully-automa-tedweb-based realtime geodata processing of rental data. A fully functional implementation of a nearly real-time-generated rental mapis presented. Till now, no comparable service exists.
