Django, GeoDjango and STAC
Abstract
SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog (STAC) specification has changed how geospatial data is discovered, and shared. With Django and GeoDjango, developers can efficiently manage and serve geospatial datasets while leveraging STAC to standardize metadata and API access. This talk will introduce the core concepts of the STAC specification and demonstrate how Django can be used to implement STAC.
Description
This talk explores STAC and how Django and GeoDjango can be used to build STAC-compliant APIs for managing and sharing geospatial data. We will cover the fundamentals of STAC, its role in standardizing geospatial data access, and how Django structures and exposes spatial data. Using GeoDjango and PostGIS, we’ll demonstrate building a STAC API with Django REST Framework, handling large datasets, optimizing performance, and integrating with other geospatial tools for seamless data access.
