Overview

To allow some customers to analyze geospatial data in the cloud, Alibaba Cloud Data Lake Analytics (DLA) provides functions to process geospatial data in various formats in compliance with the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) OpenGIS standards. The following common data formats are supported:

WKT
WKB
GeoJson
ESRI Geometry Object Json
ESRI Shape

DLA uses the European Petroleum Survey Group (EPSG) 4326 coordinate reference system. This system is a geographic coordinate system that uses longitudes and latitudes to indicate locations. GPS also uses this coordinate reference system.

WKT data

For more information, see WKT.

The following WKT strings are supported:

POINT (0 0)
LINESTRING (0 0, 1 1, 1 2)
POLYGON ((0 0, 4 0, 4 4, 0 4, 0 0), (1 1, 2 1, 2 2, 1 2, 1 1))
MULTIPOINT (0 0, 1 2)
MULTILINESTRING ((0 0, 1 1, 1 2), (2 3, 3 2, 5 4))
MULTIPOLYGON (((0 0, 4 0, 4 4, 0 4, 0 0), (1 1, 2 1, 2 2, 1 2, 1 1)), ((-1 -1, -1 -2, -2 -2, -2 -1, -1 -1)))
