15.1 Supported OpenLS Services

Spatial supports the following OGC OpenLS services.

• Location Utility Service (geocoding)

• Presentation Service (mapping)

• Route Service (driving directions)

• Directory Service (YP, or "Yellow Pages")

Spatial does not currently support the OGC OpenLS Gateway Service (mobile positioning).

For all supported services except Directory Service (YP, or Yellow Pages), you must first perform certain operations, which might included acquiring and loading third-party data, as well as configuring and deploying underlying technology on which the Spatial OpenLS service is based. Table 15-1 lists the Spatial OpenLS services, and the chapter or manual that documents the requirements and underlying technologies.
