OSM and Neo4j in uDig - GSoC Report Week 2

[Carol Hansen]

Weekly Report for my GSoC Project

"Implementing route analysis of OSM data within uDig, using Neo4j-Spatial graph database"

== What did I do this week? ==

* Successfully setup Neo4j-Spatial and imported OSM data and visualized the data using Neoclipse

* Successfully parsed OSM xml file using StAX API and Neo4j for a new OSM importer

* Read about OSM tags, different XML parsing strategies, and started research on Routing

* Discussed with my mentor the next steps

== What will I be working on next week? ==

* Setup wiki project page on uDig site

* Continue working on new OSM Importer and routing research 

* Go through Neo4j Indexing tutorials and continue Chap 4 tutorials

* Continue going through design patters book (Factory)

== Did I meet with any stumbling blocks? ==

* Wrestled with setting up Neo4j within my workspace

Take care,

Carol H.

I like your way of reporting. Think I should do the same for neoclipse and other neo4j project.

Thank you

Very cool Carol,
I agree that this very short status report is extremely useful!

Also, I just got a contribution from Rafal Wasielewski on an improved
A* algorithm for routing I could send over for your expertise. Is that
something that you would like to use or look at?

Cheers,

If you can write, you can code - @coderdojomalmo
If you can sketch, you can use a graph database - @neo4j
