The Open Geospatial Consortium has been developing a wide range of open standards for the field of Geographical Information (GI). One of the standards allows for remote processing; the Web Processing Service (WPS). WPS has not been implemented in many project yet but it is a promising standard which can also be applied outside the field of GI. In this project the WPS standard is applied by means of two case studies, the first is on tidal forecasting and the second is on wrapping an existing remote processing service. The focus of the project is not on making the most optimal and reliable tools but on demonstrating the possibilities WPS offers for a wide range of applications and interoperability between different systems. The goal of the research is to expose complex processes that feed marine and coastal models via a WPS.
