Background

<aside> 🌎 Spatial Data

“Spatial data science treats location, distance, and spatial interaction as core aspects of the data and employs specialized methods and software to store, retrieve, explore, analyze, visualize and learn from such data.”

Luc Anselin Ph.D., Center for Spatial Data Science Senior Fellow, University of Chicago

</aside>

QuantUrban has been focusing on developing spatial data products in the past few years, and has had several attempts in this field. I have also participated in the development of products from Mapmiao, Xiao Qu Luo Pan, City Map, to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Report. These products cover various processes of spatial data from collection, collaboration, visualization to data analysis.

However, these products also have problems to different degrees. They are not "standardization", for example, we didn’t find a good solution for different customers’ need to customize fields on demand, compatible with old data and other needs. In the previously developed Mapmiao product, we made a complex form system to meet the customization needs of customers.
