  • Title : NoSQL spatial (Neo4j versus PostGIS)
  • Author : Bart Baas, Geographical Information Management Applications (GIMA)

Purpose of reading

Because I'm new to NoSQL, I'm not fully aware of its using cases, especially in geospatial. With this paper I'm trying to gain some indirect experience.

In addition, since this paper was written in 2012, the content or code it contains may differ from the present. Finding, comparing, and learning those parts is also part of the goal.

In this paper, the author compared the graph DB(Neo4j) and the relational DB(PostGIS) using osm data of Amsterdam. I used Korea(Busan) data in the same method.
