This a call for interest for in a spatial data session at Apache: Big Data North America.
Spatial data is big data - multiple Apache projects address spatial data. This proposed session seeks coordination of spatial information implementations across Apache projects. Several Apache projects are implementing geospatial functionalities and there is an opportunity to discuss approaches. One opportunity is to consider the use of open standards to increase interoperability and code reuse. Relevant standards include ISO 19115 for geospatial metadata. OGC standards include Simple Features, coordinate reference systems and WKT, GeoSPARQL. coverages and DGGS. Relevant projects include Accumulo, SIS, Marmotta, Solr, Tika, Magellan, NiFi, others. Supporters of this spatial session include: George Percivall, OGC Chris Mattmann, JPL/NASA Martin Desruisseaux, Geomatys Sergio Fernández, Redlink Ram Sriharsha, Hortonworks
