Actually, my plan is to create an index for each identifiable layer. This means geometries are indexed at their natural types. So point geometries like POI (points of interest) will be indexed as such in a poi layer. While natural polygons like forests will be indexed in a 'natural' layer. From the geotools perspective points and polygons are just types of geometry. The fact that underneath all are composed of OSM point nodes is only relevant if you access the Dataset through the OSM API (which will be available too). This way you can view the same data as a large OSM graph of nodes, ways and relations, or as a set of layers composed of geometries. Both are views of the same data, but targetting different audiences and use cases. The layer/geometry view is supposed to be compatible with the geotools and udig view of things. _______________________________________________ Neo4j mailing list User@lists.neo4j.org https://lists.neo4j.org/mailman/listinfo/user
