This implementation extends the ARQ query processor of Apache Jena GeoSPARQL with further functions to support geometry operations. This implementation builds upon and extends work by Greg Albiston:

Please also visit the sister projects of this implementation with aim for similar implementations for RDF4J and Apache Marmotta:

Extensions of geospatial support

The main contribution of this implementation is the provision of further geospatial processing functions which are available in comparable relational database implementations such as POSTGIS or Oracle Spatial but not yet in a Semantic Web implementation. Particular focus is given to highlight the compatibility of given functions with raster/coverage data representations. The status of the implementation is highlighted in the respective columns of the tables. Eventual goal is the implementation of most coverage/raster specific functions used in comparable non-semantic implementations which may or may not become part of a new standardization process involving GeoSPARQL. The implementation can be tested using the provided JUnit tests. A deployment of the service is currently not available.

Spatial Aggregate Functions

Spatial aggregate functions define aggregate functions which can be applied to geometry and coverage literals.

This section introduces supported raster/coverage functions.

Raster literals

This section includes raster literals which have been (partially) implemented. For now all given JUnit tests use the RasterHexWKB Format because of its ease of usage in JUnit tests and because of its compact representation. However, other literal types provide other opportunities for representing raster data. CoverageJSON is an emerging way to publish raster data, GeoTIFF may be used in already established OGC web services such as Web Map Services.

Planned further implementations:

Raster Attribute Functions

These functions returns attributes of a coverage/raster. They are not applicable to vector data. All rasters implemented assume one raster band by default, even though many raster bands may be supported in raster literals.

GeoSPARQL Ontology extension

The GeoSPARQL ontology has been extended to include support for Coverage representations.

Ontology of functions

An ontology of the planned functions with given URIs has been uploaded to this repository as functions.ttl . The ontology will be appended when the implementation matures and new requirements are considered. The ontology of functions may serve as a template for future standardizations or implementations.

Ontology for modelling geospatial data

The ontology model for the GeoSPARQL extension may be downloaded here: geosparqlplus.ttl In addition to the GeoSPARQL ontology it includes a Coverage class hierarchy and new properties for dealing with raster data.
