The Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) explicitly claims the use of INSPIRE (INfrastructure for SPatial InfoRmation in Europe) for the provision and processing of data. INSPIRE is based on a network services architecture. A contribution of RichWPS in terms of the implementation of the MSFD is the transfer of assessment methods consistently in a service architecture and the development of tools for a simple and comfortable orchestration of Web Processing Services (WPS) to handle such complex processes.Text/Conference Paper
