今天，环境科学家严重依赖地理空间网络服务（GWS）。然而，许多在线设施没有得到环境建模界的充分利用，因为访问不同的服务接口需要高度专业化的技术专长。本文提出了一个简单的通用服务接口（SUIS）框架，这是一个客户端框架访问异构服务通过一个统一的接口，以简化服务访问。支持的服务包括开放地理空间联盟（OGC），简单对象访问协议（SOAP）和代表性状态传输（REST）服务。SUIS使建模人员不必学习服务技术的细节，如协议、绑定和模式。SUIS 4j是SUIS框架的Java实现，经过开发和测试，可以将联合收割机与多个运行的GWS结合起来，演示农业干旱监测和沿海海洋建模的工作流程。结果证实了预期的好处。SUIS被证明支持简化使用地理空间网络基础设施的特设环境模型集成。
Today environmental scientists heavily rely on geospatial web services (GWS). However, many online facilities are under-utilized by the environmental modelling community because accessing the disparate service interfaces requires highly specialized technical expertise. This paper proposes a Simple Universal Interface for Services (SUIS) framework which is a client framework for accessing heterogeneous services via a single unified interface to simplify service access. The supported services including Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC), Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) and Representational State Transfer (REST) services. SUIS relieves modellers from having to learn the details of service technologies such as protocols, bindings, and schemas. SUIS4j, a Java implementation of the SUIS framework, is developed and tested to combine multiple operational GWS to demonstrate geoprocessing workflows in agricultural drought monitoring and coastal ocean modelling. The results confirm the expected benefits. SUIS is demonstrated to support simplified use of geospatial cyberinfrastructure for ad-hoc environmental model integration.
