Broker mediated geospatial information service including relative ranking data
First Claim
1. A method for providing a geospatial information service in a broker-mediated geospatial information service environment, comprising:
- receiving at a broker system a request from a requester, the request including search criteria for returning geospatial information to the requestor;
determining a plurality of process-dataset solutions, each process-dataset solution comprising a process and a dataset to be processed thereby so as to perform a geospatial information service for returning information based on geospatial information to the requestor in accordance with the search criteria; and
,providing from the broker system to the requestor a list comprising the plurality of process-dataset solutions and a value indicator associated with each of the provided process-dataset solutions.

Abstract
A method for providing a geospatial information service in a broker-mediated geospatial information service environment includes receiving a request at a broker system from a requestor. The request includes search criteria for returning geospatial information to the requestor. A plurality of process-dataset solutions is determined, each process-dataset solution comprising a process and a dataset to be processed thereby so as to perform a geospatial information service for returning information based on geospatial information to the requestor in accordance with the search criteria. A list is provided from the broker system to the requester, the list including the plurality of process-dataset solutions as well as a value indicator that is associated with each of the provided process-dataset solutions.

31. A method for providing a geospatial information service in a broker-mediated geospatial information service environment, comprising:
-
providing from a requestor to a geospatial information service broker a request including search criteria for returning geospatial information to the requester; receiving from the geospatial information service broker a list comprising a plurality of process-dataset solutions and a value indicator associated with each of the provided process-dataset solutions, each process-dataset solution comprising a process and a dataset to be processed thereby so as to perform a geospatial information service for returning information based on processing of geospatial information to the requestor in accordance with the search criteria; providing from the requestor to the geospatial information service broker a selection-response, the selection-response being indicative of a selection by the requester of one process-dataset solution of the provided process-dataset solutions. - View Dependent Claims (32)
