sditail: Extending Wagtail CMS as a Spatial Data Infrastructure | Wagtail Space US 2024

We propose an innovative implementation of a Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) using Wagtail CMS as the central platform. The developed SDI enables integrated management, versioning, analysis, and visualization of geospatial data directly within the familiar Wagtail content management environment. Additionally, the project includes the publication of standard APIs and Web Services for data access in accordance with Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) spatial data standards.

sditail comprises several key components:

• Wagtail CMS: Used as the primary content management system, providing a friendly and flexible interface for data administration.
• Spatial Database: Implementation of a spatial database (PostgreSQL with PostGIS) for storing and managing geographic data.
• Avoiding Geospatial Data Modeling: Utilizing JSONField for attribute data storage to avoid modeling each case individually.
• Data Versioning: Integration of a versioning system using Wagtail's Draft system allowing historical tracking of dataset changes, facilitating collaboration and traceability.
• Visualization: Integration of visualization library tools (OpenLayers) within Wagtail for spatial queries and interactive map creation.
• Data Access APIs: Publication of data through OGC standards.

This innovative integration expands Wagtail's capabilities beyond a conventional CMS, providing users with a unique platform for comprehensive geospatial data management. The primary focus lies in the publication of standard APIs and Web Services for online spatial data, particularly leveraging OGC standards.
