Arctic Sea
Description
52°North's backbone for OGC services, clients and middleware
A framework for developing OGC services, clients and middleware sharing concepts for encoding and decoding of different formats and encodings, workflows and configuration.
Arctic Sea is a stack of projects that eases the development of OGC related services such as the 52°North implementation of the OGC SOS and WPS, as well as clients and middleware. It compromises the following modules.
Iceland 
Iceland is a service framework that enables the development of OGC RPC based services. It features bindings for KVP, POX, SOAP, as well as JSON-based bindings. Iceland facilitates the rapid development of modular services that use Faroe for easy configuration and Svalbard for request parsing and response generation.
Svalbard 
Svalbard consists of various decoders and encoders for OGC models (e.g. SensorML, O&M and SWE Common, service interfaces (like SOS and WPS) and a framework for developing these. This enables the creation of decoupled and reusable encoders and decoders for various encodings (e.g. XML, JSON or NetCDF). The object models used are found in 52°North Shetland and are shared across 52°North components.
Faroe 
Faroe is a configuration API currently featuring a JSON and a SQLite backend. It enables the injection and automatic configuration of settings of various types in classes, including a Spring BeanPostprocessor.
Shetland 
Shetland consists of classes for OGC models like SensorML, O&M and SWE Common and various service requests and responses. These are shared across different service implementations.
Jan Mayen 
Bjørnøya (Bjornoya) 
Bjørnøya contains various classes for scheduling using [] shared across Arctic Sea. This includes configurations to define the execution of jobs.
Key Technologies
- OGC Web Services
- Web Processing Service (WPS)
- Sensor Observation Service (SOS)
- SWE Common
- SensorML
- Observation and Measurement (O&M)
- Spring
- Java
- XML
Benefits
- The middleware component provides a robust layer to easily create web services compliant to OGC standards.
