Hi, My name is Ying Jiang. I'm the GSoC student for Apache Jena on the project of "jena-sptial". In brief, the project will end up with an ARQ extension to perform simple spatial searches within SPARQL queries. The approach is similar to "jena-text". Many technical details have been discussed during the project application period. I just completed my exams in late June. Now I've set up a svn repository on Google Code [1] and got ready to code. I'd very glad to have Andy, Damian and Stephen as the mentors. You will see the code to be committed there in the coming months. I'd be grateful to your help when I ask questions in the dev mailing list.
