Re: [Arches] Re: Handling complex geometries - maybe 3D?
Hii, As i can understand,accepting geometries from user will be a complex task! After taking in geometries from the user,i want to know --how will geometries stored in arches db --how can we query the stored geometry Thanks :) Utsav -- -- To post, send email to archesproject@googlegroups.com.

Hii! It was nice to get to know how arches currently gets formed geometries from the browser :) Now, i will really dig into the codebase :) Thanks :) Utsav On Friday, April 11, 2014 12:20:38 AM UTC+5:30, Alexei Peters wrote: Hi Utsav, That's actually how it's currently done.

Re: [Arches] Re: Handling complex geometries - maybe 3D?
Utsav, The most important component missing from your proposal are thoughts on the front end tools that will allow users to enter and edit complex geometries. You are right to point out that our backend architecture is already capable of storing and validating geometries of any complexity - the real challenge here is in building a UI that gives mere mortals a chance of actually digitizing them. Having some experience with desktop GIS tools like ArcGIS or Quantum GIS may come in handy here because it will give you ideas of how manual capture is handled in GIS desktop applications. The key will (again) be to not duplicate the desktop GIS workflows - which are built for people with GIS in their job title - but instead develop workflows that are possible for a non-GIS expert to execute in a web browser. -- Adam Lodge Geospatial Systems Consultant Farallon Geographics On Tuesday, March 18, 2014 at 7:12 PM, Utsav wrote: Hiii I have been reading a lot to get a better understanding of handling complex geometries.

Re: [Arches] Re: Handling complex geometries - maybe 3D?
Hii, I totally agree that workflows should be developed that a non-GIS expert will be able to execute in the browser.We are making Arches app so that it can be used by anybody. :) As you said i must get familiar with desktop GIS tools like ArcGIS or QuantumGIS(QGIS),I installed QGIS on my ubuntu and played a little with it. Here are some of the screenshots .. 1.Google satellite layer QGIS http://goo.gl/wiYsHs 2.North America Shape QGIS http://postimg.org/image/okw94yqf7/ Cheers :) Utsav -- -- To post, send email to archesproject@googlegroups.com.

Re: [Arches] Re: Handling complex geometries - maybe 3D?
Hi Utsav, I really appreciate your enthusiasm for the Arches project, unfortunately I'm not quite sure I understand your proposal clearly. Earlier it sounded like you wanted to add a new prehistoric monument, but we're not really looking to collect data as part of the GSoC. Our focus is on improving the code base with additional functionality.
