go-whosonfirst-spatial-sqlite

Important

This is work in progress. It may change, probably has bugs and isn't properly documented yet.

The goal is to have a package that conforms to the database.SpatialDatabase interface using mattn/go-sqlite3 and SQLite's RTree extension.

Databases

This code depends on (3) tables as indexed by the go-whosonfirst-sqlite-features package:

• rtree - this table is used to perform point-in-polygon spatial queries.
• spr - this table is used to generate standard place response (SPR) results.
• properties - this table is used to append extra properties (to the SPR response) for spatial.PropertiesResponseResults responses.

Here's an example of the creating a compatible SQLite database for all the administative data in Canada using the wof-sqlite-index-features tool which is part of the go-whosonfirst-sqlite-features-index package:

$> ./bin/wof-sqlite-index-features \
	-index-alt-files \
	-rtree \
	-spr \
	-properties \
	-timings \
	-dsn /usr/local/ca-alt.db \
	-mode repo:// \
	/usr/local/data/whosonfirst-data-admin-ca/

Filters

It is possible to filter results by one or more existential flags (-is-current, -is-ceased, -is-deprecated, -is-superseded, -is-superseding). For example, this query for a point at SFO airport returns 24 possible candidates:

$> ./bin/query \
	-spatial-database-uri 'sqlite://?dsn=/usr/local/data/sfom-arch.db' \
	-latitude 37.616951 \
	-longitude -122.383747

| jq | grep wof:id | wc -l

2020/12/17 17:01:16 Time to point in polygon, 38.131108ms
      24

But when filtered using the -is-current 1 flag there is only a single result:

> ./bin/query \
	-spatial-database-uri 'sqlite://?dsn=/usr/local/data/sfom-arch.db' \
	-latitude 37.616951 \
	-longitude -122.383747 \
	-is-current 1

| jq

    {

      "wof:parent_id": "1477855607",
      "wof:name": "Terminal 2 Main Hall",
      "wof:country": "US",
      "wof:placetype": "concourse",
      "mz:latitude": 37.617044,
      "mz:longitude": -122.383533,
      "mz:min_latitude": 37.61569458544746,
      "mz:min_longitude": 37.617044,
      "mz:max_latitude": -122.3849257355292,
      "mz:max_longitude": -122.38294919235318,
      "mz:is_current": 1,
      "mz:is_deprecated": 0,
      "mz:is_ceased": 1,
      "mz:is_superseded": 0,
      "mz:is_superseding": 1,
      "wof:path": "147/785/565/5/1477855655.geojson",
      "wof:repo": "sfomuseum-data-architecture",
      "wof:lastmodified": 1569430965
    }
  ]
}

You can also filter results to one or more specific alternate geometry labels. For example here are the quattroshapes and whosonfirst-reversegeo geometries for a point in the city of Montreal, using a SQLite database created from the whosonfirst-data-admin-ca database:

$> ./bin/query \
	-spatial-database-uri 'sqlite://?dsn=/usr/local/data/ca-alt.db' \
	-latitude 45.572744 \
	-longitude -73.586295 \
	-alternate-geometry quattroshapes \
	-alternate-geometry whosonfirst-reversegeo

| jq | grep wof:name

2020/12/17 16:52:08 Time to point in polygon, 419.727612ms
      "wof:name": "136251273 alt geometry (quattroshapes)",
      "wof:name": "85633041 alt geometry (whosonfirst-reversegeo)",
      "wof:name": "85874359 alt geometry (quattroshapes)",

Note: These examples assumes a database that was previously indexed using the whosonfirst/go-whosonfirst-sqlite-features wof-sqlite-index-features tool. For example:

$> ./bin/wof-sqlite-index-features \
	-rtree \
	-spr \
	-properties \
	-dsn /tmp/test.db
	-mode repo:// \
	/usr/local/data/sfomuseum-data-architecture/

The exclude alternate geometries from query results pass the -geometries default flag:

$> ./bin/query \
	-spatial-database-uri 'sqlite://?dsn=/usr/local/data/ca-alt.db' \
	-latitude 45.572744 \
	-longitude -73.586295 \
	-geometries default

| jq | grep wof:name

      "wof:name": "Quartier Port-Maurice",
      "wof:name": "Montreal",
      "wof:name": "Quebec",

To limit query results to only alternate geometries pass the -geometries alternate flag:

$> ./bin/query \
	-spatial-database-uri 'sqlite://?dsn=/usr/local/data/ca-alt.db' \
	-latitude 45.572744 \
	-longitude -73.586295 \
	-geometries alternate

      "wof:name": "136251273 alt geometry (whosonfirst)",
      "wof:name": "136251273 alt geometry (quattroshapes)",
