Geoportals are the first source of spatial information to researchers in diverse fields. Upcoming years has growing trend to integrate spatial analysis and geo visual analytics inside Geoportals. Researchers could use the Geoportal to conduct basic analysis without offline processing. These tasks are increasingly being tackled with open-source tools in programming languages like Python or R. However, it's unrealistic to include the various tools during a Geoportal platform for processing and analysis. This work provides an exploratory effort to bridge Geoportals and tools through Python scripting. The Geoportal demonstrated during this work is that the Urban and Regional Explorer for China studies. A python package is provided to control this platform within the local programming en... view moreĀ»
