Re: [location-iwg] JUMP Lib and GeoScript: Opportunities to Collaborate?
Welcome Landon:

LocationTech is still getting setup and will be tackling some of these issues with an architecture committee as the group is getting established.

When you have had a chance to review the GeoScript data model you should be in position to talk to Justin on this email list and compare notes.

I recommend reviewing this page and shifting between the language examples to compare what is being done. I would pay careful attention to how simple the GeoScript model is, it may strike for more simplicity then OpenJump is expecting.

While I happen to know Justin (and myself) have some experience with the Jump feature model from our days at Refractions Research, I don't think we are up to date on any recent developments. You are going to have to take the lead on this conversation, and identify any gaps, then we can discuss how to bridge them.

I recently posted a message to the OpenJUMP and deegree Project
mailing lists about organizing an effort to extract core parts of
OpenJUMP (especially the simple feature model) into a stand alone
library called JUMP Lib. (My original message is here:
).

Jody Garnett was listening in. He mentioned the simple feature model
in OpenJUMP was fairly close to the one in GeoScript, and suggested
that GeoScript would benefit from a Java implementation of its API. I
know very little about LocationTech, but with Jody's encouragement I'm
trying to explore common ground and opportunities for collaboration.

I was ready to start work on JUMP Lib this weekend or early next week.
Before I go crazy, I thought it would be good to post here.

Is it possible to set-up a GeoScript Java implentation based on, or
wrapping the JUMP simple feature model? Is there room to combine
efforts?

Ultimately I can set-up JUMP Lib with no ties to GeoScript, but if we
can share a simple feature model, that would be much better.

Let me know what you guys think, and the best way to move forward if
we should work together.

PS - My message to Jody about the challenges to this approach,
including the use of wrappers, is here:
