Minerva is a sophisticated geospatial application and framework created to enable users to upload, visualize, and analyze small to large geospatial data from a web interface. Minerva uses advancements in web and database technologies such as WebGL and NoSQL(MongoDB) database. It is designed for big data and cloud enabled data analysis and visualization.
Some of the highlights of Minerva include using a web-enabled data management Girder to manage data, metadata, sessions and employing high-performance geospatial data visualization library GeoJS to provide fast interactive visualization of geospatial data on a map. Minerva backend uses open-source tools such as Gaia, GDAL, Shapely, and Fiona for performing geospatial data I/O, filtering, and spatial analysis.
