Abstract: Geospatial data is vitally important to the ways thousands of government agencies, private companies and non-profit organizations do their businesses. The widespread access and sharing of geospatial data on the Internet yield many benefits. But, there are two important barriers in front of sharing and accessing geospatial data; non-interoperability and insufficient message exchange patterns of geospatial processing systems which are widely used in various organizations. Using standard geospatial Web services together with efficient technologies provide different kinds of message exchange patterns for various kinds of clients facilitate to share and access to geospatial data. This paper proposes a service oriented framework for disseminating geospatial data over the Web. Based on our practical tests, the proposed framework proved to be an efficient solution for sharing and accessing to geospatial data. Key words: Service oriented • geospatial web service • web services • message exchange patterns
