Abstract

Modern decision support and assistance systems use distributed data sources from private and public providers through specialised web services in order to enhance the provision of information. Pohl et al. (2021) present a web service-dominated procedure for the generation of site-specific pesticide application maps by bringing together all required data via web services and other interfaces in the application map service. This paper presents the central services that make it possible to provide site-specific ecological and economic key data and basic information in crop protection.

We show how this web service contributes to an automated determination of distance requirements in real time, and discuss the limits of this approach and system.

In accordance with the Amendment of the E-Government Act (EGovG) and the introduction of the Act for the Use of Public Sector Data (DNG), the technical documentation of all the REST-compliant programming interfaces have been implemented in accordance with the OpenAPI standard.
