Technology
Geographic data is naturally structured like a graph, and topological analyses view GIS data as graphs, but until now no-one has tried to make use of a real graph database as the backing store for a GIS. The developers of Neo4j have added features to the popular open source graph database to provide for support for spatial indexing, storage and topology. In addition to these core components, there are a number of useful utilities for importing and exporting data from other popular data sources, and enabling the use of this database in well known libraries and applications in the open source GIS environment. We will discuss the advantages of using a graph database for geographic data, the performance and scalability implications, and the opportunities enabled by this approach. In today's highly connected social web, there is an increasing need for graph-based data management. At the same time applications are becoming more and more location aware. The time is right for the first geographic graph database.

Editor's Notes
- The purpose of this presentation is to introduce Neo4j Spatial, and two specific projects, the GSoC and OSM Mention Neo Technologies and AmanziTel, but no more We have a product in the market that uses uDig and Neo4j, but felt that our integration was too specific to our needs, and so decided to collaborate with Neo Technologies to produce a more generalized library available as an extension to the database
- KV: Dynomite, Voldemort, Tokyo* BigTable: HBase, Hypertable, Cassandra Document: CouchDB, MongoDB Graph: AllegroGraph, Sones, Neo4j
- The current success and popularity of NoSQL data models has been driven by the internet, and the associated explosion in the volume and interconnectedness of data.
- This example does highlight a few things about semi-structured data, schema-less databases and even opens the conversation for some discussions on performance (implicit indexes through local search, etc.)
- Storage: plugable – dataset, layer, encoder Search: Indexing is currently an R-Tree, but it is possible to plug in any custom mechanism conforming to the interface. Multi-dimensional index Spatial indices (quad-tree, R-tree, kn-tree, SFCs) Composite indices and dynamic indices Lucene
