Hi list,
This is a post to announce the release of SpatialDataIntegrator version
1.1, an opensource Spatial ETL (Extract Transform & Load) based on
Talend Open Studio for read/write common GIS formats, manipulating
feature, metadata creation and publication.
It was presented at FOSS4G2007 in Victoria and at the GeoNetwork
opensource workshop in Roma.
Wiki page: http://www.talendforge.org/wiki/doku.php?id=sdi:mainpage
Features:
- GIS Format : PostGIS, Shapefile, MIF/MID, GeoRSS
- 37 Geospatial Components : Buffer, Centroid, CoordinateFetcher,
Dissolver, BoundingBox, Clipper, GetElevation, GetpostalCode,
CataloguePublisher, ...
For metadata, SDI allows users to create metadata for all datasets
produced in jobs. Metadata are based on ISO19139 template. SDI generate
automatically some information (eg. bbox, feature type, number of
features, ...). Then the CataloguePublisher component could be used to
publish the generated metadata into a GeoNetwork catalogue.
A set of components allows to run XSLT transformation from one standard
to another. More info on metadata in SDI :
