GeoPackage and the Related Tables Extension
summary
GeoPackage becomes a single-file container for vector, raster and metadata with an OGC-backed spec, Spatialite/SQLite implementations and executable conformance tests. The related tables extension adds a many-to-many relationship table that can carry attributes so photos, PDFs or procedures link to features without duplication. A proof-of-concept interoperability experiment shows workable cross-implementation exchange; QGIS 3 adoption demonstrates practical uptake. Caveats include optional indexing, 2GB-ish filesystem limits and no rich semantic vocab yet for relationship meaning.
