Abstract:
Providing European-wide access to geospatial data resources held on national level is the ambitious goal of the INSPIRE process and other similar integration initiatives. Service cascade is presented in this paper as a solution for facilitating access to national content to support Pan-European applications. The paper presents as an example the process of creating a map tile cache of geospatial data requested from INSPIRE-compliant Download Services. Cascading service architecture is found to be a useful approach in the cache seeding process. The work has been conducted in the context of a major EU-project.
