This workshop will introduce participants to ZOO-Project-DRU, an open-source implementation of OGC API - Processes, with a focus on Part 2: Deploy, Replace, Undeploy and Common Workflow Language (CWL), used as an exchange format for OGC Application Packages, facilitating interoperability and portability of geospatial applications.
The OGC API - Processes standard provides a RESTful interface for executing geospatial processes, while ZOO-Project-DRU extends this capability with support for Part 2: Deploy, Replace, Undeploy, allowing users to dynamically manage geospatial services. This workshop will guide participants through the installation, configuration, and deployment of ZOO-Project-DRU, with a focus on automating geospatial workflows and encapsulating applications using Common Workflow Language (CWL).
Gérald Fenoy is the founder of GeoLabs, a company specializing in geospatial solutions. He is the creator of the ZOO-Project, an open-source platform that serves as a reference implementation of both the OGC API - Processes - Part 1: Core standard and the WPS 2.0 (Web Processing Service) standard. The ZOO-Project provides developers with a flexible and user-friendly framework for building and deploying geospatial web services, enabling efficient processing of geospatial data.
In addition to the ZOO-Project, Gérald developed MapMint, a powerful platform for creating, managing, and sharing maps and geospatial data. He also created MapMint4ME, a simplified, cloud-based version of MapMint that allows users to collect geographic (or non-geographic) data in the field, both with and without an internet connection. This makes it an ideal tool for fieldwork in remote or connectivity-challenged environments.
Gérald is a strong advocate for open-source software and has made significant contributions to the geospatial community. His work focuses on making geospatial technology more accessible, efficient, and interoperable, empowering users worldwide to leverage location-based data for better decision-making and innovation.
