Abstract: The rapid development of the Internet and big data technology provided a technical foundation for the share and widespread use of the geospatial service (or GIService). Facing a large amount of multi-source, heterogeneous and massive geospatial services, it is a big challenge to organize these services and provide service compositions efficiently in order to expand the application scope, which has caught much attention of the scientists. Constructing the geospatial service web (GSW) and realizing semantics-based service collaboration is a potential solution to these issues. This paper analyzed the current development of the geospatial service and the GSW. Based on the achievements of the construction, expression, optimization, and service collaboration in the service network domain, we discussed several potential approaches of the GSW as well as GSW-based service collaboration. Finally, several technical challenges and research directions to construct GWS and service collaboration were proposed.
