[udig-devel] OSM and Neo4j in uDig - GSoC Report Week 3

[Carol Hansen <carolbhansen@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I apologize for the late report. 

What did I do this week?

• Continued working on a new OSM Importer: Experimented with the relationship between OSM XML file attributes/tags and the StAX parsing API, in order to specifically concentrate on relevant "way" nodes for routing (still in progress)
• Successfully uploaded/pushed my files to GitHub
• Setup my uDig Wiki page:  http://udig.refractions.net/confluence/display/HACK/Neo4j+Shortest+Path+API+for+OSM+data
• Went over more design pattern concepts (Factory and Decorator) to help me more fully understand the StAX API

What will I be working on next week?

• Continue working on new OSM Importer and routing research
• Continue Neo4j Indexing tutorials and continue Chap 4 tutorials
• Continue going through design patterns book as needed

Did I meet with any stumbling blocks?

• Not sure why my parser test isn't printing out all the nodes/tags of the OSM XML file
• My computer has been running very slow especially when using Eclipse. So I ordered more RAM to install. Hopefully this will solve the problem and save me more time.
