Abstract
In recent years, Service Oriented Computing (SOC) has become one of the leading approaches for the design and implementation of distributed solutions. The key concepts are the notion of service and the possibility to seamlessly combine several modules to offer more sophisticated functionality. Such features were soon recognized by both W3C and OGC as relevant for their purposes, although their standards are incompatible and the seamless communication and exchange of information between these types of services are not directly achievable. The current most accepted solution to address this matter is represented by the development of a wrapper that manages technical issues that arise during the translation of requests and responses between them. However, the design of such a software module presents challenges in terms of infrastructure design and Quality of Service. In this paper we describe some issues to be faced when developing a service wrapper aimed at integrating existing geospatial services into a W3C service-based infrastructure.
