Question about line length
Closed this issue · 2 comments
In wake of the upcoming GeoSPARQL 1.1, I want to take the chance to clarify some things (maybe the answer is already clearly in the standard and I just missed it, in which case my apologies)
8.9.25. Function: geof:length (and metricLength)
The longest length from any one dimension is returned
the wording is a bit unclear to me, does this give me the length of a (Multi)LineString, as in JTS's Length.ofLine, or only the linear distance between its start and end? If the latter, how can I get the length of a line?
I did not define the function, but I think it should be Length.ofLine, not the distance between start and end.
I will clarify that in the next meeting though because I also find the wording could be improved here.
- Change documentation for 8.9.25 to reflect Length.ofLine.
