The play

Understand OpenSpatial's Core Principles
Grasp OpenSpatial's vision to standardize and unify high-quality spatial data for AI. This foundational understanding will guide your data integration and model development strategies for robust spatial intelligence.
Integrate Diverse Spatial Data Sources
Use the conceptual OpenSpatial client to ingest heterogeneous spatial data, such as GeoJSON files for vector data or WMS services for raster imagery. The engine abstracts complexities like projections and initial validation.
Harmonize and Preprocess Spatial Data
Leverage OpenSpatial's tools for harmonizing, cleaning, and preprocessing ingested data. This includes operations like projection transformations, validation, and feature engineering to prepare high-quality datasets for your AI models.

Starter code

import openspatial_client as os_client

# Configure and initialize the OpenSpatial client
os_config = {
    "api_key": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE", # Replace with your actual API key
    "endpoint": "https://api.openspatial.org" # Replace with the OpenSpatial API endpoint
}
os = os_client.Client(os_config)

# Ingest a conceptual GeoJSON file (ensure 'data/city_boundaries.geojson' exists or adapt path)
# This demonstrates how OpenSpatial would handle parsing, validation, and storage.
city_boundaries_id = os.ingest_data(
    source_type="file", 
    path="./data/city_boundaries.geojson", 
    data_type="vector",
    metadata={
        "description": "Major city administrative boundaries for analysis"
    }
)
print(f"Successfully initiated ingestion of city boundaries. Data ID: {city_boundaries_id}")

# You would typically then query or process this data further using OpenSpatial's capabilities.
