ZOO Project description

ZOO is a WPS (Web Processing Service) open source project released under the MIT/X-11 license. It implements ​OGC WPS in a developer-friendly framework to create and chain WPS webservices. Its main goals are to gather existing open source librairies and to make them communicate in a standardized way, but also to simplify the end-developer's job by providing an easy method to create new webservices.
