"The goal of DGGS is to enable rapid assembly of spatial data without the

That also caught my eye. The text sounds a bit like marketing talk but
maybe there is something.
From a quick look my understanding is that the idea is to create a grid
that divides the whole earth into cells of similar shape in a sequence
of increasing cell size. And that sounds to me like a
I too took that understanding from the text, Ari. I'll read the specs
later, but since they mention a lot Big Data and the raster <> vector
integration, I imagine it is akin to a geometry collection, but
encompassing a wider range of data types, and arranged in a pyramid/r-tree
-esque environment f
To me this proposal looks too complicated for practical application in it's
current form. I think the surface model (or a "default" model) and related
algorithms should be part of the proposal.
I needed to solve some of the problems they mention for our 3d rendering engine

Sure. But I mean: They should decide about and use S2 or whatever by default as
part of the new standard and create a reference implementation, if they were
serious about solving mentioned issues in practice.
