4. CONCLUSION AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS 
GPS data from various sources can be currently uploaded into 
the system. Since the study is an open-end one, any kind of 
data, which contributes valuable information, can be added into 
the system. As new datasets are being added, new applications 
become possible. This development model can generate many 
innovative applications. The integration of real-time GPS data 
from continuous GPS stations will be studied in the scope of the 
future applications (Figure 5).

Service-oriented architecture of the application allows its 
components to be used by other applications and users over the 
Internet. Since reusability of components was provided, it 
minimized the need for new coding. Its infrastructure is ready to 
be used for other applications in Earth science. There is a need 
for bridging between Earth science and Computer science. Earth 
sciences need information technologies to solve data related 
problems.
