Jianfeng Jia commented on ASTERIXDB-1371:
-----------------------------------------
Nice summary!
GeoJSON is a good option. Indeed, there are some challenges. I intended to make
it as a Google Summer Code project but it seems too late for the student to
pick up this one.
> Support the standard GIS objects

> Components: Data Formats, Data Model
> Reporter: Jianfeng Jia

> Labels: gsoc2016

> We current support point, polygon, circle, and rectangle. The GIS world has
> more data shapes as described in [Well-know
> text|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well-known_text].
> [PostGIS|http://postgis.net/docs/manual-2.2/using_postgis_dbmanagement.html#RefObject]
> is also a good referecne. It will be very nice we can support all standard
> spatial object internally and can parse/format the spatial object in a
> "well-known" way. e.g. well-know format or [geojson|http://geojson.org/]
> format
