Yep this is exactly what I was asking. The goal of SIS is to provide such a library, in an ALv2 licensed fashion: http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/SpatialProposal I was thinking if the spatial part of Parliament was pluggable, we could use SIS to implement that part. Right now, I will likely start looking at parts of Jena, Any23, and Tika that are relevant. Note, I'm also doing some stuff in OODT-ville through GSoC (see OODT-402 [1]) that is connecting stores like OODT to SIS, and looking to do something similar here.
