This > session provides an opportunity to discuss geospatial information > implementations across Apache projects. Apache SIS provides data structures > and methods for geographic features including coordinate reference systems, > e.g., OGC WKT CRS2. Several projects are providing geospatial structures and > methods for Apache Spark, e.g., how to apply Simple Features in Spark. > Several projects are addressing spatial indexes on gridded structures > including building on Apache Projects and the related OGC DGGS. Apache > Science Data Analytics Platform (SDAP) enables fast analysis of oceanographic > data. A recent Location Powers workshop highlighted linked-geo-data building > on Apache Projects. Coordination of geospatial topics increases data quality > and reduces development effort.” > > Thanks to this group for helping to plan the session so far: > - Martin Desruisseaux, Geomatys and Apache SIS > - Ram Shriharsha, Databricks and Apache Spark > - Lewis McGibbney, JPL and Apache SDAP > - Ingo Simoinis, OGC > - Sergio Fernandez > - Chaowei Yang, GMU > - Shaowen Wang, UIUC CyberGIS Center and NGSI > - Yao-Yi Chiang, Spatial Sciences Institute USC > > An approach similar to this was used to create the geospatial session in > Apache Big Data 2016 > https://apachebigdata2016.sched.com/overview/type/Geospatial > <https://apachebigdata2016.sched.com/overview/type/Geospatial> > > Use this list for detailed discussion on geospatial topics: > <[email protected]> > > Regards, > George > > > > George Percivall > CTO, Chief Engineer > Open Geospatial Consortium > [email protected] > @Percivall > >
