52°North's Arctic Sea is a framework for developing OGC services, clients and middleware sharing concepts for encoding and decoding of different formats and encodings, workflows and configuration.
The Arctic Sea is stack of projects (all named after islands that are more or less in the arctic sea) that eases the development of OGC related services (such as the 52°North implementation of the OGC SOS and WPS), clients and middleware. It compromises the following modules.
Iceland is a service framework that enables the development of OGC RPC based services. It features bindings for KVP, POX, SOAP, as well as JSON-based bindings, and facilitates the rapid development of modular services that are easily configured using Faroe. Svalbard is used for request parsing and response generation.
Svalbard consists of various decoders and encoders for OGC models like SensorML, O&M or SWE Common, service interfaces like SOS or WPS and a framework for developing these. This enables the creation of decoupled and reusable encoders and decoders for various encodings (like XML, JSON or NetCDF). The object models that are used can be found in 52°North Shetland and are shared accross 52°North components.
Faroe is a configuration API currently featuring a JSON and a SQLite backend. It enables the injection and automatic configuration of settings of various types in classes, including a Spring BeanPostprocessor.
Shetland compromises classes for OGC models like SensorML, O&M or SWE Common and various service requests and responses. These are shared accross different service implementations.
Jan Mayen contains various utility classes shared accross the Arctic Sea.
