Re: [datameet] Other side of the Line of Control

[Peter Mayer]

Thanks Devdatta,
I think I'm missing something...! I'm using _State_ polygons and don't see 
a POK polygon--which is just what I need. I'll see how I go with the SoI 
link.

Hi Peter,

If you need the official boundaries, then you can use the Survey of India's
Country/State Boundary from here:
https://github.com/datameet/maps/tree/master/Survey-of-India-Index-Maps

(As an Aside, if you are currently using the 2011 District boundaries, you
should not face a problem, because those contain a polygon for POK.)

Regards,
Devdatta

[datameet] Other side of the Line of Control

[Peter Mayer]

Hi,
I've been using Devadatta's shape file for 2011 
(https://github.com/devdattaT Thanks Devadatta!!) with Census data. When I 
submitted a paper with some of these maps, I was chastised by one reviewer 
because I didn't show the official national borders. It's easy to put in 
missing data...but is there a shape file I've missed for 'the other side' 
of the Line of Control?
best wishes,

Peter

Re: [datameet] Shapefile with protected areas of India

[javier gonzalez]

Thanks Arun. Even though I knew the datasets, I didnt know the WFS links. 
They are awesome. 

Well, in my opition after analyzing several sources and gazette 
notifications for India:

WPAD (protected planet): useless
OSM: not so good and consistent
ENVIS: good for some areas but not existent, wrong or not well 
georeferenced for many areas

I assume that the best sources are the respective environmental/forest 
departments of the individual states, but unfortunately they don't publish 
that data.
Another good and serious source seem to be the ESZ notifications from the 
Ministry of Enviroment and Forest, but you really need to digitalize 
everything.

Re: [datameet] Shapefile with protected areas of India

[Arun Ganesh]

Few more resources if you have QGIS and connect to these WFS Servers:
- ENVIS server has protected areas layer with 609 features. This seems like
the official data source to use.
http://210.212.84.122:80/erdas-apollo/vector/WII_GEOGRAPHIC_DATA
- india Biodiversity Portal seem to have a layer with community protected
areas plus lots of other shapefiles thats more focused on the western
ghats: https://indiabiodiversity.org/geoserver/ows?version=1.0.0

[datameet] Bengali OCR not working properly

[Shubham Agrahari]

I am trying  to convert bengali pdf to text . I am using tessaract 4.0.0 
for it . I have also downloaded the "ben traindata" from here -->  
https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdata/blob/master/ben.traineddata  but 
it is not working properly. It is not getting converted to text properly. 
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Just found the mapping coverage page on the OSM wiki and it looks like most
national parks and sanctuaries have been mapped

Hi Javier, there are a lot of protected areas that were mapped on
OpenStreetMap recently and maybe quite useful.

Have made a query that extracts this and gives over 500+ national parks and
sanctuaries: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/NPW

Since the query is by bbox, you might have to manually remove the ones
outside India using qgis or ogr2ogr. It might also be useful if you could
evaluate the data and say how complete it might be.
