NoSQL STANDARD AND APPROACH FOR GEOSPATIAL DATABASE COLLECTION

Industry of geospatial information requires a proper standard which can adapt the user requirements in parallel with the technological improvements over time. Geospatial database is an essential end product that can be used as an input to the Decision Support System. The aforementioned important role can be defined as a main indicator for effectiveness and efficiency of the provision of geospatial data and information. Standard is fundamental especially in a situation where there are so many available technologies and infrastructures on the market. Defining a robust and reliable standard and mechanism to derive the geospatial database is a main key for the successful production of the national geospatial database. NoSQL databases use a different approach to represent the storing mechanism which is generally in a form of relational structured tables. The main difference is related with the flexible model, component and storing mechanism which must not be structured in a tabular and relational way. This paper discusses geospatial database standards by using the NoSQL approach that will be implemented in order to adopt the Indonesian Geographic Feature Catalogues. The implementation of the standard in an operational stage of the geodatabase production can provide the alternative solution in competition with the traditional Relational Data Base Management System approach. Especially in the era of big data and crowd sourcing with a lot of variety in the data structure nowadays, NoSQL raises as an alternative solution to accommodate and utilize its advantages in an applicative way but still selective for the portrayal purposes.
