Create a web service that accepts ESDLs
If you are interested in creating a web service to which you can send an ESDL and then do something with it, start with this project on github. This service can then be controlled from the ESDL MapEditor, for example. Calculate statistics, aggregate information in the ESDL or create an ESDL-based simulator. The possibilities are endless!
