T1  - Service-oriented, standards-based 3D geovisualization : potential and challenges
N2  - The application of the architectural concept of service-oriented architectures (SOA) in combination with open standards when building distributed, 3D geovisualization systems offers the potential to cover and take advantage of the opportunities and demands created by the rise of ubiquitous computer networks and the Internet as well as to overcome prevalent interoperability barriers. In this paper, based on a literature study and our own experiences, we discuss the potential and challenges that arise when building standards-based, distributed systems according to the SOA paradigm for 3D geovisualization, with a particular focus on 3D geovirtual environments and virtual 3D city models. First, we briefly introduce fundamentals of the SOA paradigm, identify requirements for service-oriented 3D geovisualization systems, and present an architectural framework that relates SOA concepts, geovisualization concepts, and standardization proposals by the Open Geospatial Consortium in a common frame of reference. Next, we discuss the potential and challenges driven by the SOA paradigm on four different levels of abstraction, namely service fundamentals, service composition, interaction services, performance, and overarching aspects, and we discuss those driven by standardization. We further exemplify and substantiate the discussion in the scope of a case study and the image-based provisioning of and interaction with visual representations of remote virtual 3D city models.
