CityJSON

GitHub tag (latest SemVer) GitHub license

This repository is where the specifications and the schemas of CityJSON are kept. All previous versions are kept in tags in the commits.

For all the details, see the official CityJSON website: https://cityjson.org.

What is CityJSON?

CityJSON is a JSON-based encoding for a subset of the OGC CityGML data model (version 3.0.0), which is an open standardised data model and exchange format (in GML) to store digital 3D models of cities and landscapes.

The aim of CityJSON is to offer an alternative to the GML encoding of CityGML, which can be verbose and complex (and thus rather frustrating to work with). CityJSON aims at being easy-to-use, both for reading datasets, and for creating them. It was designed with programmers in mind, so that tools and APIs supporting it can be quickly built, and several software have been created already.

Contributing to the project

We invite anyone to contribute to the development and improvement of CityJSON, all discussions, issues, and developments are open to everyone.

restful_demo's Issues

Are the current CityJSONFeature features in terms of the OGCAPIF?

I really like the CityJSONFeatures in their intrinsinc definition. Still, I dont think they are really "features" in terms of the standard.

I list here some questions and my comments:

  • As I understand it, the will of the standard is to provide resolved and easy to digest GeoJSON elements. However, the geometries are kind of hidden in the CityObjects object. From the standard, the geometries need to be an attribute of the Feature.
  • As you said, CityJSONFeature need to have only one geometry for each instance. In CityJSON, multiple geometries are allowed in the "geometry" array. In the case where several LoD are available, how to choose between them? The unique way I see is to provide an additionnal parameter in the GET request. BUT it goes against the standard. Should it be part of some best practice (highest LoD, lowest LoD, ...).
  • Common denominator of the two previous points: how to easily reach the children geometries? And moreover, here, we multiply the "geometry" attribute.
  • Besides the fact that I like the idea that 2nd-level city objects are only relevant because of their belonging to a group (Component/Integral Object - Winston et al., A taxonomy of part-whole relations, 1987), couldn't it be damageable that their are not queriable independently? I mean, in a cadastral application, property unit or storeys have a reason for being. However, some BuildingPart are not.

I leave it here, for discussions.
