Re: [datameet] Re: BMTC is inviting suggestions for new routes

[Johnson Chetty]

Hello,

By the way, just wanted to point out that Google has more than enough
granular data to describe routes, roads, congestions and general traffic
flow of many cities including B'lore, at least for the direct use by BMTC
for introducing routes.

The actual impact that this can have in city planning is tremendous.

Given that Google mapping team has it's home base in B'lore, I'm wondering
if we can in earnest start a participatory effort with them to introduce
routes with the help of analytics and data.
I do not see any major competitive loss that Google will have by doing such
a thing.

I'm not aware that an engagement model between Google and cities exists
like this, but if it doesn't then it may be one of the best ways to improve
traffic and city planning worldwide. Why not start it here first! I think
it's quite within the realm of possibility.

Re: [datameet] Library to read tables in scanned PDFs

[Johnson Chetty]

Hello,

I have had some reasonable success with 'pdfquery' if you like Python. It
works with regional text as well.
Also, for tabular data, do try pdf-table-extract if quick and dirty works
for you.

Java folks should try pdfbox.

[datameet] Local Language PDF Parsing

[Johnson Chetty]

Hey,

   So I had run into the proverbial pdf parsing problem for a project.
   Tamil + English PDF and its kinda getting a bit harrowing.
I've tried a couple of things like PyPDF and pdfminer.
The structuring of the documents and datapoints seems a bit amiss and
running after them gets a bit tedious.

Just thought I should send a shoutout and ask if anyone knows of a solution
that works well.
   I wanted to know which python libraries are good for extracting data
from unicode (tamil+english) PDFs and parsing unicode and tamil characters.

Re: [datameet] Regarding Village Level location cordinates

[Johnson Chetty]

Hey nikhil...

You would need to have Python installed on your system. (Linux /Mac/
windows)

After that , you would need to download the code repository available at
the link.  (There is an option to download as zip file)
This is the download link:
https://github.com/zerolevel/Locations/archive/master.zip

Unzip the file and then run python in the folder where you have unzipped
the folder..

Then type:
python

This will open a prompt and then input the code

import Locations as LC
lc_i = LC.Location()
mum_cord = lc_i.getCoordinates(Mumbai)



I hope that should whet your appetite!

Re: [datameet] Any privacy issue in publishing names of voters?

[Johnson Chetty]

Hello,

Just my thoughts:
Adding name, age and gender is definitely not a good idea. It does not
convey anything of demographic importance particularly apart from name
analysis.

And you did not mention if you would be adding only first names or full
names. Adding full names means all the women will have their age mentioned!
And for those with uncommon names it would definitely be an issue.

You can either
a) Remove name and keep only gender and age, randomize the names.
  If you want to convey gender and age distribution among the population.

b) If you are doing name analysis.
 Some options:
- If you want to convey information like the age-wise distribution of a
name (a little esoteric and still not as demographically relevant but this
dataset allows for it), then aggregation would work.
- Use first names only
- Adding only the surname initials,
- Generate unique hashes for surname so that name analysis will still
be possible according to surnames but identities will not be revealed.
Alternatively you can have two datasets, one with unique hashes for name
and the other with surname. This way, community name based analysis is also
feasible.

 Hi Anand,

 as someone who worked with the voter lists, including an analysis of

 personally NOT put them online in disaggregate form. I would only share
 aggregate data (i.e. the 50 most frequent names in state X and their
 prominence over time, or some such). If you do put them online, I would
 do so at state level only, not further disaggregated. But I DO think
 there are big privacy issues here. There was a discussion on this on the

Re: [datameet] Re: [Nagpur] Community curated GTFS feed for bus transit in the city

Hi Nikhil,

I've been involved with getting GTFS up for Mumbai. Only thing is, we have
been quite fortunate to get base data from the BEST themselves.
Can I have a look at your existing data?

 Hi Nikhil,

 It`s a good thing people are trying to solve local problems when
 government and corporates don`t think it is worth their time. All the data
 found on google within India was collected on filed and not sourced from
 transport agencies. Most transport agencies don`t have the data at all not
 even on paper. I am not aware of the scenario in nagpur transport agency.

 You need at-least a list of route names before you start collecting the
 data. The best way to collect bus-stops is through OSM or google apart from
 crowdsourcing  getting onto field. But the challenging part is the
 schedules, with the traffic conditions the schedules will be often wrong
 even if the agency has it. Bus schedules are critical part of GTFS.

 Also the routes up-down directions might have two different set of
 bus-stops, you can only collect this data from field. The first step for
 building the data is find what data you already have from the agency,
 probably through an RTI. Then you can decide how to proceed with creating
 the GTFS.

 If you need some help with GTFS or bring up the community in nagpur,
 please feel to reach out.

 Hey,

 I have been long contemplating to get the technology community in Nagpur
 together, to curate an openly available GTFS feed for bus transit in the
 city. It is no surprise that the public transit here is in a bad state
 right now. Bringing an aware community in, to enhance the experience, might
 just give us an upper hand into pressing authorities to improve quality of
 service.

 Just to add, citizen initiatives in Nagpur are picking up now, so as to
 resolve civic issues without involving any of religion, politics and money.
 Contributions to an openly available GTFS feed seemed like a pilot
 initiative to get the tech community directly involved.

 to start with, I have put up an event[1] on our local Meetup group[2]. I
 am using a reference to Google Maps because it resonates with a majority,
 at least here in Nagpur. I will try to get the community introduced with
 GTFS and spread out a plan of action to bring Nagpur's bus transit
 information to Google Maps. Eventually, I would like to get the community
 acquainted with Open Data and have some contributions to OSM data for
 Nagpur.

 Thoughts?

 Hey Everyone!

 Before March's Open Data Camp we wanted a DataMeet logo and had asked
 people to contribute some design ideas.

 We were expecting maybe 1 or 2 ideas that we would adapt.  But were
 overwhelmed by how awesome everyone on this list is and received almost 15
 or so design ideas!

 We really couldn't decide which to pick.  We narrowed it down to 9 of the
 best designed ones and are putting it up to the group to decide.

 We want to keep the logo decision to people on this group. So this is how
 this going to work.

 1) Check out the logos at this link: http://datameet.org/wiki/logocontest
 2) Pick the logo you like
 3) Each logo has a corresponding number to left of it.
 4) Reply to this thread with the number of the logo.

 The logo with the most votes wins.  We won't count any votes that are not
 replies to this thread.

 The contest will close on the 20th of May.

 Thank you to the designers! Special shoutout to Anand Doshi for designing
 so many!

 We don't have a prize for the designer yet but we will think one up.

 We might edit the final logo slightly, but will keep the integrity of the
 overall design.

[datameet] Fwd: GeoJSON Maps

Recently I needed to some GIS data in GeoJSON format but couldn't find any
pre-existing files, nor a repository of such. Following Mike's Lets make a
map tutorial http://bost.ocks.org/mike/map/ I was able to extract the data
from NaturalEarth shapefile :)

As way of contributing back to the community, I've created some GeoJSON
files (sorry no TopoJSON) for regions derived from specific attributes in
the NaturalEarth ne_10m_admin_0_map_subunits shapefile. Each file has the
shapefile attribute table maintained within.

Maybe the community could create a repository of both GeoJSON  TopoJSON of
common regions and countries.

Please feel free to use them in your projects.

 I repeat, *no one in India had achieved these marks in the ICSE.*

 The authors conclude that no student achieved the above marks in any
 paper --- hence the results may have tempered. If any of this is true, the
 board better come up with a better explanation.

Re: [datameet] Meetup in Mumbai?

[Johnson Chetty]

Hey all,

Okay, Mumbai meetup is happening!

So we have a place:

2-5 pm. Gnowledge Lab, Room 801
Homi Bhabha Center for Science Education,
Tata Institute of Fundamental Research,
V.N. Purav Marg, Mankhurd,
Mumbai 400088

And yes...  Anyone attending, please confirm back on this thread soon.. if
you weren't on the separate discussion thread so far.

Hoping to just shoot a few random points and have some consensus of
thoughts overall. And figure out what we can do that's cool. The community
is quite nascent here as we all know.. and some of us met actually at the
bangalore datameet.

Itinerary:

*- Intros*
*- Talks on Work, Ideas, Challenges*
- *Discussion:*
 -Mumbai and its open data challenges.
 -On how to take the meetup further. ( Location, resource person list)

Any of the more experienced amongst us have any starter points? (*nudge
Nisha, Thej, et al. )

Thanks and Cheers,

 Dear all,

 Happy to bump into this mailing list. Is anyone interested in a
 meetup in Mumbai - the last one I searched was almost a year ago?

 A quick intro: We had participated in the recent Planning Commission
 hackathon. When we saw the data.gov.in site, we realized that there
 must be a better way to visualize all this data. So we came up with
 http://codeformumbai.org (repository: https://github.com/**
 codeformumb**ai/data-gov-inhttps://github.com/codeformumbai/data-gov-in
 ).

 The goal is to create a data portal that can merge all the
 datasources based on some heuristics (here is a start I did for the
 data.gov.in files: https://github.com/**codeformumb**ai/data-gov-in/*
 *blob/master/**build_db.pyhttps://github.com/codeformumbai/data-gov-in/blob/master/build_db.py).
 I was able to map almost 60% datapoints to timeseries and 30% to a 
 region.
 And this is just the start - there is the awesome devinfo census 
 database.
 Would also love to find ways to map election data into this so that it
 could be useful in the up coming elections. Also if we can map the
 governance architecture (governments, departments, ministries,
 institutions) then it will make for even interesting analysis.

 Since I am a newbie in this field would love to meet more experienced
 folks, get ideas for visualisations, share datasources, tools. If there 
 are
 any similar projects (did not find many so far) please let me know.

 best regards,
 Rushabh

 If it is for general purposes, I have used Google My Tracks on android.
 Doesn't GeoTag, but gets the track and add points etc. nifty

 Google Maps also allows keeping track of Location if the Location History
 is enabled, and I think it geotags. From the web
 http://maps.google.com/locationhistory/b/0, you can see and manage
 export your history as kml. I havent used this with GPS on. But network

 I should try this with GPS ON tomorrow :-)

Re: [datameet] Consolidating Data Sheets any recommendations?

[Johnson Chetty]

Hi,
Can you post a sample of the dataset?

On 14/01/2013, Nisha Thompson nisha.thomp...@gmail.com wrote:
 Hi everyone,

 At India Water Portal, my colleagues Ragini, Bala and I are working on a
 data project with Keystone Foundation http://keystone-foundation.org/ in
 the Nilgiris, Tamil Nadu. (Where Bala works) Keystone's programs are
 focused on the intersection of livelihoods, enterprise, and environmental
 conservation, and it works mostly with the indigenous tribal population in
 the area.

 THE DATA

 There are several different kinds of data. The major categories are weather
 (humidity, temperature, rainfall, wet days), water quality, sediment rate,
 land use, and community water supply/systems. Each of these has a location
 (a village, a station, or a region), and most also have a date range. The
 data that is easily correlated (i.e. data from the same time period and the
 same location) is often in different Excel sheets.

 We have tried aggregate this data by location by individually going through
 each sheet and figuring out a) the data type, b) the location, and c) the
 date range. I've also aggregated some of the water quality data (from the
 DFiD study and the every-other-month data, May 2005-Dec 2008, from the
 Sigur water project) into one Excel sheet.

 Almost all the data is in Excel sheets, but there may be some additional
 data buried in Word documents. Data is missing in some places and the
 parameters change over time, especially during longer date ranges.

 THE PROBLEM

 How do we label, tag, and/or compile this data into a usable format? Right
 now, the data is in different formats, with different headings,
 misspellings, and inconsistent formatting. Google Refine can help with some
 of these tasks, but the general problem is larger: there are many variables
 and parameters, so what is the best way to organize all of this
 information? We'd like to have a robust but simple-to-use system that can
 handle complex queries in a way that is easy to understand for laypeople.
 We're unclear on what exactly can be done with this data, and organizing it
 properly will go a long way towards helping us conceptualize possibilities.


 Any tools that you guys know about that could help us out with this?
