Using GeoSpatial nearby feature

Support
1

Hi,

I am trying to use the Stardog GeoSpatial nearby feature. My use case is that I have to retrieve latitude and longitude for a number of different locations and should pass them as parameters to the nearby function to find nearby places, such in the following query:

prefix unit: http://qudt.org/vocab/unit#

select * {

GRAPH <graph1> {

?place a :Place;
wgs84_pos:lat ?lat;
wgs84_pos:long ?long.

    ?s  
           geof:nearby (?lat ?long 22 unit:Kilometer);
           wgs84_pos:lat ?pp_lat;
           wgs84_pos:long ?pp_long.   

 }

}

After running the above query, I am getting the error:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Latitude must be a double value between -90 & 90

I also tried the following ways, including binding latitude and longitude directly, e.g.

     BIND(xsd:float("50.173588") AS ?lat).
     BIND(xsd:float("12.12583") AS ?long).

?s
geof:nearby (?location 22 unit:Kilometer);
wgs84_pos:lat ?poi_lat;
wgs84_pos:long ?poi_long.
}
}

The above query does not return any result.

The queries that are returning results, but are only for a particular point, i.e. latitude and longitude, respectively, are:

wgs84_pos:long ?poi_long.
}
}

and (note the switching between longitude and latitude):

}
}

I imagine, I am doing something wrong.

Hi,

any idea on this?

Best,

Do you have spatial.enabled=true on your database? If so and this still isn't working correctly, could you share a minimal data set that we can run this query on to reproduce?

Yes, the spatial.enabled=true is already set, since I am able to use the nearby feature when passing static values.

Here is an example:

Hi,

I have been using with success the nearby function but I have included Geometry instances instead of separate lat and long properties. The Geometry instances have the lat and long properties however.

In the following query, I am getting Geometry instances that are 5 km or less from a chosen Geometry.

select ?prop1Addr ?prop2Addr ?distance
where {
values(?geom1) {(http://www.domain.com/PropertyGeom/ee48fa00c63952a8a48d8e66540aa695)}
?geom1 wgs:lat ?prop1Lat; wgs:long ?prop1Long .
?geom2 geof:nearby (?geom1 5 unit:Kilometer) .
filter (?geom1 != ?geom2)
?prop1 geo:hasGeometry ?geom1; onto:Property-streetAddress ?prop1Addr .
?prop2 geo:hasGeometry ?geom2; onto:Property-streetAddress ?prop2Addr .
bind(geof:distance(?geom1, ?geom2, unit:Meter) as ?distance)
}
order by ?distance

Hi Daniel,

good to know that, thank you for your hint.

I also tried with binding the location as goe:wktLiteral e.g. BIND(strdt(concat('Point(', STR(?long), ' ', STR(?lat), ')' ), geo:wktLiteral) as ?location) , and passing as a parameter, as it shown in the second query above, unfortunately didn't work.

The following query is working fine (after associating ?place with type of :Location), which basically I can adopt for my use case, although the issue with passing directly latitude and longitude remains.

     geof:nearby (?place 2 unit:Kilometer);
     wgs84_pos:lat ?poi_lat;
    wgs84_pos:long ?poi_long.
  }
}

There is a mistake that I was doing, such as the following query:

prefix unit: <http://qudt.org/vocab/unit#>

select * {

GRAPH  <graph1>  {
?place 
          wgs84_pos:lat ?lat;
          wgs84_pos:long ?long.
          geof:nearby (50.173588 12.12583 2 unit:Kilometer) .
?s
     geof:nearby (?place 2 unit:Kilometer);
     wgs84_pos:lat ?poi_lat;
    wgs84_pos:long ?poi_long.
  }
}

Note the differences between two queries, in the second one, the clause a ?type is missing after the ?place variable, which causes only latitude and longitude to be retrieved.

Thank you for your support.
