%A Ning An %A Raja Chatterjee %A Mike Horhammer %A Siva Ravada %T Securely Implementing Open Geospatial Consortium Web Service Interface Standards in Oracle Spatial %X In this paper, we briefly describe the implementation of various Open Geospatial Consortium Web Service Interface Standards in Oracle Spatial 11g. We highlight how we utilize Oracle?s implementation of OASIS Web Services Security (WSS) to provide a robust security framework for these OGC Web Services. We also discuss our future direction in supporting OGC Web Service Interface Standards. In addition to the mandated XML interfaces, Oracle Spatial WFS, Oracle Spatial CSW and Oracle Spatial OpenLS also support SOAP interfaces. To improve performance, Oracle Spatial WFS and Oracle Spatial CSW also implement caching mechanism to support retrieving records from a single query across different web requests. Below, we describe each of supported OGC Web Services in Oracle Spatial. Due to space limits, we will emphasize Oracle Spatial WFS support to illustrate our unique implementation. %C Madrid, Spain %D 2009 %P 1179-1179 %L www2009170
