Recent advances in Web-related technologies have significantly promoted the wide sharing and integrated analysis of distributed geospatial data. Geospatial applica- tions often involve diverse sources of data and complex geoprocessing functions. Existing Web-based GIS focuses more on access to distributed geospatial data. In scientific problem solving, the ability to carry out geospatial analysis is essential to geoscientific discovery. This article presents the design and implementation of GeoPW, a set of services providing geoprocessing functions over the Web. The concept of the Geospatial Processing Web is discussed to address the geoprocessing demands in the emerging information infrastructure, and the role of GeoPW in establishing the Geospatial ProcessingWeb is identified. The services in GeoPW are implemented by developing middleware that wraps legacy GIS analysis components to provide a large number of geoprocessing utilities over theWeb. These services are open and accessible to the public, and they support integrated geoprocessing on the Web.
