[jira] [Commented] (TIKA-443) Geographic Information Parser

["Martin Desruisseaux (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-443?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14198059#comment-14198059 ] 

Martin Desruisseaux commented on TIKA-443:
------------------------------------------

A note just in case: Tika does not need to have a strong dependency to SIS if you prefer to avoid it. The ISO 19115 metadata are defined by interfaces in a separated JAR file, ({{geoapi-3.0.0.jar}}), which is in turn implemented by SIS. But the Tika project could decide to implement itself a subset of the interface considered most pertinent to Tika needs (e.g. {{GeographicBoundingBox}}, {{DataIdentification}}, etc.), which should allow Tika to switch between its own implementation as SIS implementation transparently. For example Tika could have basic geographic information support as a standalone application, and delegate to SIS only for more advanced needs if the user wish.

I'm just mentioning that as one possible strategy.

> I'm working in the automatic description of geospatial resources, and I think that might be interesting to incorporate new parser/s to Tika in order to manage and describe some geo-formats. These geo-formats include files, services and databases.
> If anyone is interested in this issue or want to collaborate do not hesitate to contact me. Any help is welcome.
