Nyt palvelinpuolen kehittäjät voivat itse kehittää ArcGIS Serverin REST-rajapinnan kanssa samanlaisen rajapinnan, jota Esri clientit voivat hyödyntää. SilverLight, Flex, JavaScript, ja iOS clientit käyttävät REST-rajapintaa kommunikoidessaan ArcGIS Serverin kanssa.

Software makes server-side resources instantly available to thousands of developers.

The open specification provides a standard way for Web clients to communicate with geographic information system (GIS) servers through Representational State Transfer (REST) technology. The specification has been opened such that developers can expose the GeoServices API request structure from ArcGIS Server and other non-Esri, back-end GIS servers or processors.

The GeoServices REST Specification, Version 1.0 document is freely available through the Open Web Foundation license agreement.

"This specification encapsulates a strong platform that allows developers to create services that support rich GIS Web applications and allows geospatial services to be embedded into anything on the Web, including commercial off-the-shelf products, open source, and even mashups. The GeoServices REST Specification helps make all GIS data more open and interoperable on the Web," explains Dr. Satish Sankaran, Esri product manager for interoperability and standards.
