Distributed Spatial Data Collaborative Production Architecture in Grid Environment

Spatial data production and update is a systematic project which is costly and involves significant resources. But traditional spatial data production architecture is difficult to share resources and collaborate among organizations. So in this paper, a distributed spatial data collaborative production architecture in grid environment is proposed, which make advantage of grid technology to organically integrate existing spatial data production resources into a whole, and achieve the object of distributed spatial data collaborative production. This paper analyzed the collaborative architecture and the virtual organizations firstly, and then studied every core components of the architecture. Ultimately, for validating the architecture presented in this paper, we provide a collaborative production prototype system.
