Abstract

Geospatial Web services (GWSs) can be viewed as modular Web applications that provide services or geospatial data, information or knowledge. Combining GWSs and generating composite web services out of atomic services can provide users with a higher level of functionality. Aim: The aim of this study is to obtain an overview of research on geospatial web services composition through a systematic literature review (SLR). Method: A SLR was performed by formulating four research questions to evaluate the selected works. In total, 121 papers were accepted into the final set. Results: The most widely used GWS composition model is the syntactic followed by semantic service composition. Considering that geospatial domain is dynamic, it is necessary to understand the challenges and limitations of the semantic model in depth. Conclusions: There are a significant number of research projects being conducted in this specific Web service composition area targeting the geospatial domain. Our findings identified the need to improve the robustness of the empirical evaluation of existing research.
