Short description

Sextant is a web application for visualizing, exploring and interacting with time-evolving linked geospatial data. Its user-friendly interface allows both domain experts and non-experts to take advantage of semantic web technologies. The core feature of Sextant is the ability to create thematic maps by combining geospatial and temporal information that exists in a number of heterogeneous data sources ranging from standard SPARQL endpoints, to SPARQL endpoints following the standard GeoSPARQL defined by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC), or well-adopted geospatial file formats, like KML, GML and GeoTIFF.

Example usage

Run the docker image as follows:

docker run -p 9999:8080 bde2020/sextant

Then, open your browser to

localhost:9999/Sextant_v2.0

Scaling
