Abstract
Technological and overall economic growth of any country warrants a rapid development of the education sector, which is responsible for producing quality human resources for serving the nation and the human society as a whole. Hence, there is a need to make coordinated efforts to disseminate information about the quality of academic details in a simple but detailed manner by integrating modern technologies. Spatial technologies such as GIS, remote sensing and GPS hold potential to remove some of the bottlenecks that hinder the efficiency of this sector. Further, for Right To Education (RTE) easy to use/ perceive spatial information is required for the decision makers. Hence, there is a need to establish a well organised Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) portal where each stakeholder can access, use and exchange spatial information for education sector. The present work reports the development of an efficient interoperable Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) based SDI Model for education sector. The developed SDI Model is distributed, modular and allows the publishing of web service descriptions as well as to submit requests to discover the web service of user’s interests. The Model supports integration of applications and browsers independent Web Map Service (WMS), Web Features Service (WFS), Web Coverage Service (WCS) and Web Catalogue Service (CS-W) for sharing and exchange of geospatial data.
