Rob Coup

Rob Coup, listed as Robert Coup in IAG Firemark’s portfolio, co-founded Koordinates with Ed Corkery in 2007. On 4 March 2020 he published the company’s launch announcement for Sno, an open-source tool using Git repositories to version geospatial and tabular data. The release proposed collaborative data-editing workflows and future desktop-to-cloud synchronisation; it stated that Sno was not yet connected to Koordinates Data Management.

By March 2017 the company was promoting its Query API alongside government data services on the platform. Its contemporary Datarama material said datasets on Stats NZ Datafinder and other Koordinates-powered sites could be accessed using the Koordinates query API. The platform later exposed vector, raster and set-query interfaces as well as OGC and Esri-compatible services.
