Geospatial Consumption Zone

Layered service providing ready-to-consume geospatial web services from OSDU datasets.

Status:

  • This project is graduated and maintaining active development. Some pieces of the below proposed architecture have yet to be implemented (OGC & Vector Tile output).
  • Please visit the Issue Boards for latest status.
  • For any questions, please reach out to our Slack channel (#cap-geospatial_consumption_zone)

See the GCZ Status page for latest project status and see our GCZ Docs for a technical overview of GCZ components, API, configuration, deployment, and testing procedures.

About

The Geospatial Consumption Zone is a project spawned by the OSDU Geomatics Workstream to streamline the management and consumption of geospatial data in OSDU by client applications.

The geospatial industry and community has a number of open standard formats for geospatial web services and these are frequently supported and used by a variety of significant vendor applications. To make OSDU accessible to those applications in a performant way, a geospatial consumption zone is highly valuable.

Architecture

The consumption zone is a set of microservices designed for managing and access a variety of geospatial web services. These web services are based on datasets stored in OSDU.

Overview Diagram

The provider and ambassador represent the two primary services that need to be developed by this project.

The ambassador can be thought of as the manager of geospatial web services, while the provider is the set of data services themselves.
