Production API

The Production API covers many use cases for the usage of the processing service of the platform. They are described in the following diagram.

!include includes/skins.iuml skinparam backgroundColor #FFFFFF skinparam componentStyle uml2 actor User rectangle user { (Discover Providers) as UCDP User -> UCDP (Describe Processing Services) as UCDS User -> UCDS (Execute Process) as UCEP User -> UCEP } actor Provider rectangle provider { (Register as a Provider) as UCRP UCRP <- Provider (Expose Processing Services) as UCES UCES <- Provider (Deliver Results) as UCDR UCDR <- Provider } UCDP .. UCRP UCDS .. UCES UCEP .. UCDR

Production API use cases

As shown in previous diagram there are mainly 2 actors:

  • Service User that discovers the service Available via the portal API,
  • Service Provider that promote services and deliver processing results via the portal API.

So far, the interface to provide a processing service is via Web Processing Service (WPS) [1]
