ToGeoJson and ToWKT for the Esri FGDB API

Posted on 2012-08-24

In support of some of our ongoing PIM work, we’ve been integrating the Esri File Geodatabase (FGDB) API into some tools. Without going into a level of detail that would hijack this post, one of the many functions performed by some of the tools is to validate physical spatial databases against established data models to…

FOSS4G North America

Posted on 2012-04-12

It’s rather fitting that the second plenary talk on Wednesday had to do with “firehose” applications since the FOSS4G North America (FOSS4GNA) conference was something of a firehose in itself. Despite the fact that the event was smaller than the worldwide event in Denver back in October, I came away with the same “full brain”…

Random Post of Thanks

Posted on 2012-03-13

Maybe the warm weather has me feeling extra giddy. It seems there is no shortage of ways for me to get GeoJSON and slap vector maps into a browser and I’m feeling extra happy about that today. So, thanks to the authors of GeoJSON for all you’ve done to help put the “modern” in the…

f=geojson

Posted on 2011-11-15

On November 11, 2011, I gave a lightning talk at the ESRI Dev Meetup in Silver Spring, MD. My talk was titled “If I Were Jack For a Day.” Despite the infinite comedic potential of that title, it was a tongue-in-cheek look at some items on my wish list for the ArcGIS platform. An increasing…

CartoDB + Leaflet = Easy

Posted on 2011-10-13

One of the biggest sources of buzz at FOSS4G was CartoDB. It is a hosted solution from Vizzuality that uses PostGIS to allow you to store your spatial data online. I got a beta account a couple of weeks ago but life (i.e. paying work) kept getting in the way but I finally got to…

GeoServices REST Specification and OGC

Posted on 2011-06-16

So this is what I get for missing the Ignite sessions at WhereCampDC*: Not sure if it has been mentioned, but ESRI announced that they are giving their REST API to OGC at #wherecampdc — spara (@spara) June 16, 2011 *I got to dance with my daughter and help her chase fireflies so I win….

Completing the Model

Posted on 2010-10-27

It has been a truism for some time that GIS enables us to build models of the Earth. Esri Press has even offered a book on geodatabase design called “Modeling Our World” for a while. Traditionally, GIS has given us the ability to model the surface of the earth (in a broad sense), including our…

Twitter GeoJSON Error

Posted on 2009-11-24

Sean Gillies pointed out on Twitter today that the GeoJSON output of coordinates from Twitter’s just-released geolocation capability is wrong. Sean is one of the authors of the spec so, when I saw his tweet, I took notice. According to the Twitter documentation: The XML response uses GeoRSS to encode the latitude and longitude. encodes…

GeoLocation API for Twitter Announced

Posted on 2009-08-20

Ryan Sarver announced today the availability of a geolocation API for Twitter. It even supports GeoRSS and GeoJSON. This could be a potentially significant new step for Twitter. It looks like the API will be opened to platform developers first everyone (see here). Tying in location to the near-real-time nature of the Twitter timeline opens…
