GeoPackage (GPKG) is an open, non-proprietary, platform-independent and standards-based data format for geographic information systems built as a set of conventions over a SQLite database. Defined by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC)[2] with the backing of the US military[3] and published in 2014, GeoPackage has seen widespread support from various government, commercial, and open source organizations.[4]
