Geo Engine is a platform for analyzing and visualizing biodiversity data that contains geographic information such as rasters, points, and polygons. The front-end serves as a web-based geographic information system and can be customized as a community-specific application. It originated from the VAT system of GFBio and has been developed by Geo Engine GmbH as an open-source product.
Overview
Geo Engine is a platform for processing and analyzing biodiversity data with geographic information. It consists of several components. The backend manages access to the data and its processing and supports various data standards for raster data and vector data via the popular GDAL translator library. The backend provides the functionality via a web service layer (APIs). The front-end serves either as a Geographic Information System (GIS) with full functionality or as a component library for building custom portals and dashboards that allows to build community-specific applications for a data product of the Semantic Layer. It also contains a Python library allowing to use the functionality in Jupyter Notebook.
