Geoprocessing with Neo4j Spatial and OSM

Session Type: 
Tech Session
Presenter(s): 
Mr. Craig Taverner, Amanzi

What better way to perform geoprocessing than on a graph! And what better dataset to play with than Open Street Map!

Since we presented Neo4j Spatial at FOSS4G last year, our support for geoprocessing functions and for modeling, editing and visualization of OSM data has improved considerably. We will discuss the advantages of using a graph database for geographic data and geoprocessing, and we will demonstrate this using the amazing Open Street Map data model.
