+ | |||
+ | At the moment, the only middle-layer calculation service available to the ICE-D project is provided by the online exposure age calculators that have been in existence since about 2007 and are familiar to most researchers involved in cosmogenic-nuclide geochemistry. These run on servers at http:// | ||

+ | |||
+ | The ICE-D web server is an example of an analysis layer application. Mostly, the purpose of this application is to display information to a user via a web browser, but there are a couple of tricks embedded in the web page that allow one to also use this application to get information in a form that can be easily used by software. This is explained [[pluginto: | ||

+ | == The ICE-D web feature service (WFS) == | ||
+ | |||
+ | An ICE-D WFS service enables desktop GIS software (ArcGIS, QGIS, etc.) to display and work with exposure-age data from ICE-D applications. | ||
