This tutorial is an introduction to geospatial data analysis, with a focus on tabular vector data using GeoPandas. It will show how GeoPandas and related libraries can improve your workflow (importing GIS data, visualizing, joining and preparing for analysis, exploring spatial relationships, …).

This is part of the maintainers track.

In this session, we want to share some updates on the DataFrame ecosystem: the DataFrame interchange protocol (https://data-apis.org/dataframe-protocol/latest/purpose_and_scope.html) and Arrow C Data interface (https://arrow.apache.org/docs/format/CDataInterface.html), and the integration of those interoperability protocols with different libraries. Further, we want to have an open conversation about challenges and requirements related to DataFrame interoperability and supporting multiple DataFrame libraries in projects.
