From my perspective, the current DGGS API returns geometries. In this way, the client does all the subsequent calculations via downloading some local libraries. However, Is it necessary to download large numbers of libraries to support different applications? To be further, shall we need a unified program to address the above-mention problem so that users can implement them directly?
We think there could be another DGGS API idea: we can operate various calculations such as spatial measurement directly based on the DGGS zoneid such as GeoSOT zoneid algebra. By this means. the server could directly return the results instead of geometries so that the user could implement business applications without understanding the complicated DGGS models but can utilize the convenience of DGGS for integration of data from multi-resources.
The second question is in the following:
For the current DGGS API, where are the APIs for the queries of the neighbor grids and the parent or child nodes? Given a polygon, how do I retrieve the range of the included grids?
