This technical presentation offers an overview of GDAL/OGR, powerful and often underrated open-source data manipulation tools, drawing on over 20 years of experience. A new, more consistent, and documented command line interface is now available.
An extremely popular ETL tool was made by Safe and is reportedly being priced out for some users due to new private equity owners. If you're still in need of an ETL tool, GDAL might be your solution, despite lacking a graphical user interface (GUI). GDAL is currently undergoing a new release that aims to simplify and improve documentation, offering a better-documented command-line (CLI) interface / API.
This talk highlights and runs through examples and advantages of the new CLI and how they can benefit most organisations. These tools are primarily used for data translations, particularly from proprietary data formats to more open standards like GeoJSON, PostGIS and GeoPackage etc.
