Introduction
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 environment. The server side of the Geoportal implements a group of service endpoints that permits the package to upload, transform, and process user data and seamlessly integrate them into the prevailing datasets. A case study is as long as illustrated the utilization of this package to conduct integrated analyses of program data and baseline census data. This work attempts a replacement direction in Geoportal development, which could further promote the transformation of Geoportals into online analytical workbenches Spatial data analysis is popular during a big selection of science disciplines, including public health, economics, crime, population, etc. Typically, these Geoportals also provide various functions for users to explore and analyse the info online. The past decade has seen growing interests and lots of successful applications in leveraging the spatial dimension in big data sources like social media [1,2,3]. The way to better harness the facility of tools that handles heterogeneous big data sources remains a serious challenge for the developers in building Geoportal applications. . Faced with such challenges, researchers are starting to focus more on the way to integrate other tools into existing platforms Geoportals are successful in linking multisource data, but it's unrealistic to integrate the growing list of opensource tools in one place. A Geoportal has got to be flexible in integrating user’s data and third-party analytical functions so as to become a workbench, where users could process and model the info simultaneously. Compared with desktop GIS software which is usually prepared for professional GIS users, Geoportals that links with tools could provide a really useful and light-weight workspace for researchers that don’t have adequate knowledge in GIS, especially within the area of spatial science [4,5]. It might be more flexible and decoupled if researchers could leverage opensource tools to process the info, and seamlessly interact with the Geoportal to integrate, visualize, analyses the info. This work tries to supply an early attempt during this direction. We aim to bridge opensource tools and Geoportals through a group of services that supports data manipulation and a client-side library that permits users to work the Geoportal from the programming environment. A case study is illustrated intimately that generates new datasets from program results for the integrated analysis of internet data and baseline census data. subsequent section gives a literature review of related works [6].
