Talks
Universal geospatial data storage with TileDB: No more file formats
This talk will describe the open-source TileDB Embedded library and its integrations in the geospatial domain. We will give examples of its use for point clouds, SAR and weather with partners such as Capella Space and exactEarth, and emphasize on the need to depart from file formats and focus on universal, end-to-end solutions instead.
