Hi Greg, ok let's do it in the dev list first. 1. indeed the picking up of lat/long is a common if not the most common use case for building a spatial index. last but not least to perform a proximity search on 2D point geometries. (I know that the ogc recommends a transformation path with a sparql query to turn lat / long into a WKT geometry datatypes maybe we could provide this as a convenient option with the release)
2. as far as I can see the spatial index in geosparql-jena is memory based. it creates additional load time during server startup. Am I missing something here, is there a file base spatial index as well? 3. error handling is disruptive. since we are hitting the spatial index first during query execution I am seeing a number of unpleasant side effects with syntactically correct sparql but semantically incorrect spatial queries. e.g. PREFIX geo: <http://www.opengis.net/ont/geosparql#> PREFIX geof: <http://www.opengis.net/def/function/geosparql/> SELECT ?well WHERE { ?well <http://www.wikidata.org/entity/P625> ?geometry . FILTER(geof:sfWithin(?geometry,"POLYGON((-77 38,-77 0,0 38,0 0,0 0))"^^geo:wktLiteral)) } LIMIT 10 4. The re-use of the geo: prefix really isn't your problem I know but it will create confusion. Wouldn't geosparql: be a better prefix for this? Is the OGC now married to this prefix? It used to be http://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/wgs84_pos# and there is more to come... again thank you for working on this with your team Greg, much appreciated.
