[udig-devel] OSM and Neo4j in uDig - GSoC Report, Week 4

[Carol Hansen <carolbhansen@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everyone,

I hope all is well. This week was a really great week. Things started to click and come together as far as understanding Neo4j within Java, how to index, the parsing API, etc. 

What did I do this week?

• Successfully created a rough draft of my OSM Importer, integrated with Neo4j:  https://github.com/GretaCB/Routing-Project/blob/master/neo4j/src/main/java/org/neo4j/neo4j/OSMImporterNew.java
• Installed more RAM. My computer is so happy, and so am I. It was the first time I ever installed hardware. 

What will I be working on next week?

• Continue working on the new OSM Importer and routing research
• Finish parsing for "tag" elements with relevant attributes for routing (ex: "highway")...also determine which attributes are relevant
• Continue going through design patterns book as needed
• Figure out the next step, once the importer is solid.

Did I meet with any stumbling blocks?

• Was able to troubleshoot fairly easily this week...though I couldn't have done it without my mentor, Davide!

Thank you,

Carol Hansen
