GKPG

GeoPackage (GKPG) is an open, standards-based, data format as is defined by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). It is designed to be a lightweight format that can contain large amounts of varied and complex data in a single, easy-to-distribute and ready-to-use file. GeoPackage offers users the following benefits:

  • The single file is easy to transfer and offers the end-user a rich experience.

  • Attribute names are not limited in length, making the format user-friendly.

  • The file size limit is very large at 140 TB*, so lots of data can be easily accommodated.

  • It supports raster, vector and database formats, making it a highly versatile solution.

*A file size limit might be imposed by the file system to which the file is written.
