Data semantics play an extremely significant role in spatial data infrastructures by providing semantic
specifications to geospatial data and enabling in this way data sharing and interoperability. By applying,
on the fly, composite geospatial processes on the above data it is possible to produce valuable
geoinformation over the web directly available and applicable to a wide range of geo-activities of
significant importance for the research and industry community. Cloud computing may enable geospatial
processing since it refers to, among other things, efficient computing resources providing on demand
processing services. In this context, we attempt to provide a design and architectural framework for web
applications based on open geospatial standards. Our approach includes, in addition to geospatial
processing, data acquisition services that are essential especially when dealing with satellite images and
applications in the area of remote sensing and similar fields. As a result, by putting in a common
framework all data and geoprocesses available in the Cloud, it is possible to combine the appropriate
services in order to produce a solution for a specific need
