By sticking to standards-based tools, the authors were able to implement the Web service with no major structural changes to the database. Because it conforms to the "1-to-10 Kbytes in one second" guideline, TerraService offers a highly acceptable user experience. The success of two US Department of Agriculture applications that bridge the Web service and the database demonstrates the astuteness of the authors' design principles}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/designing-and-building-terraservice/}, pages = {16-25}, journal = {IEEE Internet Computing}, volume = {10}, number = {5}, }
