GIS Interface

The GIS-Interface is a java library which exposes methods to access / modify spatial data and related metadata. The library is designed to rely on GeoNetwork and GeoServer registered in the infrastructure.

The library relies on org.gcube.spatial-data.geonetwork (see GeoNetwork library) to interact with geonetwork. Interaction with GeoServer REST interface is based on functionalities exposed by geoserver-manager, developed by GeoSolutions under MIT License.

The library

The library is a maven artifact with the following coordinates :

  <groupId>org.gcube.spatial.data</groupId>
  <artifactId>gis-interface</artifactId>

It relies on the GeoNetwork library for the interaction with GeoNetwork servers, and exploits functionalities implemented by geosolution's library :

  <groupId>it.geosolutions</groupId>
  <artifactId>geoserver-manager</artifactId>
  <version>1.5.2</version>

It basically :

• Interacts with the infrastructure's IS to gather access information to both GeoServer and GeoNetwork instance(s)
• Wraps geoserver-manager functionalities for accessing/modifying data on a given Geoserver instance,
• Implements high level logic by coordinating publication of both data and metadata on the Spatial Data Infrastructure in the current scope.
