This is a citygml4j module for the i-Urban Revitalization (i-UR) Application Domain Extension for CityGML.

ℹ️ The i-UR ADE module is intended to be used with citygml4j v2 and works fine in this context. However, note that citygml4j v2 is in maintenance mode and that the current release of the i-UR ADE module cannot be used with the latest citygml4j v3 development. There are currently no plans to migrate the i-UR ADE module to citygml4j v3.

The "i-UR" is an information infrastructure for urban revitalization and planning. This module adds support for parsing and writing i-UR ADE version 1.4 enriched CityGML datasets to citygml4j.

This module uses the ADEContext interface mechanism of citygml4j. Simply register the module with the citygml4j library to build an i-UR application and to read and write i-UR ADE datasets.

Registering the i-UR module with citygml4j only requires one additional line of code compared to a regular citygml4j program. Be careful to register the ADEContext before creating a CityGMLBuilder object.

CityGMLContext context = CityGMLContext.getInstance();

// register i-UR module
context.registerADEContext(new UrbanRevitalizationADEContext());

CityGMLBuilder builder = context.createCityGMLBuilder();
...

The i-UR ADE module can also be loaded dynamically, for instance, using the Java Service Provider interface.

Once loaded, citygml4j will automatically (de)serialize i-UR ADE content from CityGML datasets into the model classes defined in the package org.citygml4j.ade.iur.model, which extend the predefined citygml4j model classes. Simply use these classes to build your i-UR specific application logic.

The latest stable release of iur-ade-citygml4j is 1.5.0.

iur-ade-citygml4j is also available as Maven artifact from the Maven Central Repository. To add iur-ade-citygml4j to your project with Maven, add the following code to your pom.xml. You may need to adapt the iur-ade-citygml4j version number.

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.citygml4j</groupId>
  <artifactId>iur-ade-citygml4j</artifactId>
  <version>1.5.0</version>
</dependency>

Here is how you use iur-ade-citygml4j with your Gradle project:

repositories {
  mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
  implementation 'org.citygml4j:iur-ade-citygml4j:1.5.0'
}

The i-UR ADE module uses Gradle as build system. To build the module from source, clone the repository to your local machine and run the following command from the root of the repository.

> gradlew build

The script automatically downloads all required dependencies for building the module. So make sure you are connected to the internet. The build process runs on all major operating systems and only requires a Java 8 JDK or higher to run.

If the build was successful, you will find the JAR file of the i-UR ADE module under iur-ade-citygml4j/build/libs.

The "i-UR" information infrastructure allows people to analyse and to visualize the situation and problems of urban areas according to the future vision of each area using geospatial information and virtual reality technologies. The quantitative analysis and visualization clearly show the cash-flow and spatial plan of the city and promotes understanding and encourages consensus building among relevant players, e.g. investors, citizens, and developers.
