Arturo Beltran commented on TIKA-443:
-------------------------------------
You are right Chris. Since now, I will try to keep the discussions on the list
or here.
I will try to explain in brief where exactly I'm working in order that you can
get involved.
The first piece is what allows us to access resources, we need a platform to
access by the most homogenous way to heterogeneous resources. The best approach
I've found has been FDO (http://fdo.osgeo.org/). In short, FDO is an API for
manipulating, defining and analyzing geospatial information regardless of where
it is stored.
So it looks simple, I only have to integrate FDO as a Tika parser and I have
it. The problem appeared when trying to connect this C++ API with Java. I have
worked with SWIG and directly with JNI but I have not gotten it to work.
Finally, temporary and to serve as a proof of concept, I implemented a simple
HTTP server in .NET that offers resource descriptions using FDO. And now I'm
trying to create a dummy parser for Tika to make calls to that server.
I hope I explained well and that you could understand something, otherwise,
feel free to ask again.
Greetings and thanks for your interest:

> Geographic Information Parser

> Key: TIKA-443
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-443
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: parser
> Reporter: Arturo Beltran
>
> I'm working in the automatic description of geospatial resources, and I think
> that might be interesting to incorporate new parser/s to Tika in order to
> manage and describe some geo-formats. These geo-formats include files,
> services and databases.
> If anyone is interested in this issue or want to collaborate do not hesitate
> to contact me. Any help is welcome.
