AusPIX DGGS Cells Database as a Linked Data API (live)  


Authors / CoAuthors

Bell, J.G.

Abstract

This linked data API allows online access to all the AusPIX cells as a database. All DGGS cells, at all common resolutions, are mapped on individual landing pages, along with descriptors for spatial extent, centroid, neighbours, parent cells and child cells. Includes alternate views in a variety of formats, and can be manually or machine read. This is an online resource for the "AusPIX Data Integration by Locality Framework". It is built as a virtual database where the AusPIX DGGS Engine calculates information on demand. Location of this Linked data API is: https://fsdf.org.au/dataset/auspix/collections/auspix/items/R78523

Purpose

The API allows human readable and machine readable access to the AusPIX-DGGS Cells Database. This virtual database has the billions of cells (within the normal range of sizes), and presents information about the cells to the user. Its purpose is to be part of the linked data ecosystem and provide best practice links and metadata to users.

Lineage

Based on an existing Linked-Data API template, pyLDAPI which can be found at https://pypi.org/project/pyldapi/ and RDFlib at https://github.com/RDFLib . Geoscience Australia has developed this API specifically for the AusPIX DGGS Data Integration by Location Framework. The code repository for the API is at: https://github.com/GeoscienceAustralia/AusPIX-DGGS-dataset
