Web Integration of gOcad Using a 3d-Xml Application Server

Abstract

The background of this paper is situated in the area of integrating gOcad into a web based information system. Traditionally, an information system consists of the user application, the data storage and - according to the complexity of the information system - an application server. Current implementations of common application servers are designed for E-Business but not for complex calculations on multi dimensional geo spatial data. In this paper we will show the implementation of a totally new 3d-XML Application Server (3dXAppS) specially designed to interact with gOcad and an XML representation of the gOcad data model. The 3d-XAppS only calculates complex spatial requests, which cannot be solved by the means of the XML XQuery language using the gOcad data model. Furthermore this paper introduces an on the fly XML to GObj data converter designed for data interchange between the gOcad client and the database, respectively for any interface between an XML gOcad data model and gOcad Objects.
