Re: [datameet] any help with geocoding and reverse geocoding without api or from open source

[Akshay S Dinesh]

Ah. I didn't notice this thread.

Pelias is completely free software and has importers for OSM data, geonames
data and some other data sources. It allows import of a custom CSV with
latitude and longitude also.

https://geocode.earth/ is a cloud instance run by the same people and can
be used to preview how the results will be.

I've set it up once. I agree it takes some RAM to have elastic running fast.

As for India data, I think the alternate spellings aren't getting imported
from OSM, geonames, etc. And therefore, the results are slightly less
useful. Perhaps the importers can be patched to fix this.

But if you want to run a geocoding service on your own (or have loads of
queries to make), it is a great starting point.

Re: [datameet] If coronavirus spreads in India, will we know?

[Akshay S Dinesh]

Here's a relevant article from the past:
https://www.business-standard.com/article/opinion/prashanth-n-s-counting-system-losing-count-114012101243_1.html

Healthcare is definitely a system that cannot be built overnight when one
pandemic catches people's attention.

Re: [datameet] How about One Mega Collection for all the Datasets we collect!

[Akshay S Dinesh]

When I first saw the headline I was imagining a mega dataset where all
variables that are same across datasets are linked together somehow. (That
would have been very relevant for our work at Metastring foundation).
Anyhow.

BTW, https://magda.io/ is a federated approach at dataset curation by the
same people behind https://data.gov.au/
