pygeoapi Environmental Data Retrieval

This repository contains SQL pygeoapi providers for OGC API - Environmental Data Retrieval (EDR).

OGC API - EDR

The configuration for SQL OGC API - EDR follows that of pygeoapi for OGC API - Features, with the addition of two sections edr_fields and external_tables. For more detailed documentation on the creation of a pygeoapi configuration file, refer to the docs.

Config Explanation

• The table field represents the top level table that all joins are relative to
• The edr_fields section defines the columns of your SQL table and their corresponding field in OGC API - EDR.
  • Fields are defined in the format TABLE.COLUMN
• The external_tables section allows foriegn table joins to allow edr_fields to refer to any table/column with a mapped relationship to the primary table.
  • foreign is the column in the primary table defined in the table field
  • remote is the column in the foreign table defined in the external_tables
    • Example: The config below describes a schema with a table named locations. Its has a key observation_id_in_locations_table which is a reference and we can join this to the primary table observations using the observation_id column.

    external_tables:
      locations:
        remote: observation_id_in_locations_table
        foreign: observation_id

    In many cases, the foreign and remote fields will be the same if you want to join the same key name from the primary table to the foreign table. (i.e. if you have a observation_id field in the primary table and observation_id field in the table for locations that associates the two)

Postgres

The configuration for Postgres EDR is as follows:

- type: edr
  name: pgedr.PostgresEDRProvider
  data: # Same as PostgresSQLProvider
    host: ${POSTGRES_HOST}
    dbname: ${POSTGRES_DB}
    user: ${POSTGRES_USER}
    password: ${POSTGRES_PASSWORD}
    # the schema in which the relevant tables are located
    search_path: [capture]
  table: waterservices_daily

  edr_fields: # Required EDR Fields
    id_field: id # Result identifier field
    geom_field: geometry # Result geometry field
    time_field: time # Result time field
    location_field: monitoring_location_id # Result location identifier field
    result_field: value # Result value/timeseries field
    parameter_id: parameter_code # Result parameter id field
    parameter_name: waterservices_timeseries_metadata.parameter_name # Result parameter name field
    parameter_unit: unit_of_measure # Result parameter unit field

  external_tables: # Additional table joins
    waterservices_timeseries_metadata: # JOIN waterservices_timeseries_metadata ON waterservices_daily.parameter_code=waterservices_timeseries_metadata.parameter_code
      foreign: parameter_code
      remote: parameter_code

MySQL

The configuration for MySQL EDR is as follows:

- type: edr
  name: pgedr.MySQLEDRProvider
  data: # Same as MySQLProvider
    host: ${MYSQL_HOST}
    port: ${MYSQL_PORT}
    dbname: ${MYSQL_DATABASE}
    user: ${MYSQL_USER}
    password: ${MYSQL_PASSWORD}
    search_path: [${MYSQL_DATABASE}]
  table: landing_observations

  edr_fields: # Required EDR Fields
    id_field: id
    geom_field: airports.airport_locations.geometry_wkt
    time_field: time
    location_field: location_id
    result_field: value
    parameter_id: parameter_id
    parameter_name: airport_parameters.name
    parameter_unit: airport_parameters.units

  external_tables: # Additional table joins
    airports: # JOIN airports ON landing_observations.location_id=airports.code
      foreign: location_id
      remote: code
    airports.airport_locations: # JOIN airport_locations ON airports.code=airport_locations.id
      foreign: code
      remote: id
    airport_parameters: # JOIN airport_parameters ON landing_observations.parameter_id=airport_parameters.id
      foreign: parameter_id
      remote: id
