Jan, there are a number of things to it. Right now, we are working on exposing some of the spatial functionality via JRuby and the Neo4j ruby bindings in order to make it easy and "bloggable", especially regarding OpenStreetMap operation. After that, we are planning 2 things:
1. Look into integration into the Neo4j Index API 2. If integrated as an index, this will automatically be available in the REST API as just one more available index, if you drop the Neo4j-Spatial jars into /plugins. 3. Write some spatial server plugins that can expose more targeted spatial queries, see http://components.neo4j.org/neo4j-examples/1.2-SNAPSHOT/server-plugins.html We hope to have the first index-integration going in January, but don't quote me on that ;) Cheers, /peter neubauer GTalk: neubauer.peter Skype peter.neubauer Phone +46 704 106975 LinkedIn http://www.linkedin.com/in/neubauer Twitter http://twitter.com/peterneubauer http://www.neo4j.org - Your high performance graph database. http://www.thoughtmade.com - Scandinavia's coolest Bring-a-Thing party.
