Arrow work in a compatible way, with this specification focused solely on Parquet. We are in the process of becoming an [OGC](https://ogc.org) official
[Standards Working Group](https://portal.ogc.org/files/103450) and are on the path to be a full OGC standard.

**The latest [stable specification](https://geoparquet.org/releases/v1.0.0/) and [JSON schema](https://geoparquet.org/releases/v1.0.0/schema.json) are published at [geoparquet.org/releases/](https://geoparquet.org/releases/).**

**The community has agreed on this release, but it is still pending OGC approval.** We are currently working on the process to get it officially OGC approved as soon as possible. The OGC candidate Standard is at [https://docs.ogc.org/DRAFTS/24-013.html](https://docs.ogc.org/DRAFTS/24-013.html). The candidate Standard remains in draft form until it is approved as a Standard by the OGC Membership. Released versions of GeoParquet will not be changed, so if changes are needed for OGC approval, it will be released with a new version number.

The 'dev' versions of the spec are available in this repo:

- [**Specification**](format-specs/geoparquet.md) (dev version - not stable, go to the [stable specification](https://geoparquet.org/releases/v1.0.0/) instead)
- [**Specification**](format-specs/geoparquet.md) (dev version - not stable, go to the [stable specification](https://geoparquet.org/releases/v1.1.0/) instead)
- [JSON Schema](format-specs/schema.json)
- [Examples](examples/)

It should be noted what GeoParquet is less good for. The biggest one is that it is not a good choice for write-heavy interactions. A row-based format
will work much better if it is backing a system that is constantly updating the data and adding new data.

## Roadmap

The goal of 1.0.0 was to establish a baseline of interoperability for geospatial information in Parquet. For 1.0.0
the only geometry encoding option is Well Known Binary, but there is an option to allow other encodings. The main goal of 1.1.0 will be to incorporate a more columnar-oriented
geometry format, which is currently being worked on as part of the [GeoArrow spec](https://github.com/geoarrow/geoarrow). Once that gets finalized we will add the option to
GeoParquet. In general 1.1.0 will further explore spatial optimization, spatial indices and spatial partitioning to improve performance reading spatial subsets.

## Versioning

As of version 1.0 the specification follows [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/), so at that point any breaking change will require the spec to go to 2.0.0.
