Re: [datameet] Administrative offices in West Bengal

[Nikhil VJ]

Hi Rajesh,

How about organizing a mapping event for WB to get people together and map
on OSM the various things you're requesting here? It seems like a
comprehensive project where you're gathering various geospatial information
about West Bengal. It's a pretty solid mandate for organising a mapping
event. If your institution can give out participation certificates to
mappers then excellent. At SOTM Asia even we saw amazing presentations of
exactly the kind of mapping project you're doing from all over Asia. In
fact there's an active project going on right now in a village panchayat in
Kerala where they're mapping *everything* and putting it all on OSM.

Also, seeing that you've posted quite some times along the same pattern, by
now you should learn how to find these tags and run the basic overpass
queries yourself, and show us what you've found along with your question so
that we can have a head start. Also it would be great to list down research
already done by you and sources already checked out. This is in fact
insisted upon in forums like stackoverflow and I've learned the biggest
benefit of it is that when I lay it all out in precise words I many times
end up spotting one thing I didn't check yet and finding the answer :) . If
you can bring others on the same page, someone might be able to point out
another angle, and next time someone else looking here for the same thing
will thank you for your prior research.

A good way to start is : web-search for : "OSM Wiki __" (fill in the
blanks with whatever it is you want to find)
You will find the right tag, like "amenity=school" for instance.

Then, go on https://overpass-turbo.eu ,
Move the map to your focus region, click "Wizard" button and type in
"amenity=school" and that should set you up.
To save your query, click the "Share" button and copy and save the link.
To learn more about using Overpass, again "OSM Wiki _" should show you
the way.


Just sharing because this is exactly the way I learned when I was working
on a project for Pune budget analysis and didn't know anything about OSM at
the time.

Re: [datameet] Data of Indian Railways

[Srihari Thalla]

Thanks for the mention Arun!

I have now updated the crawler - removing tabs, unwanted newlines, leading
and trailing spaces in the data columns.

Here is the latest links to download:
JSON:
https://api.apify.com/v1/execs/7t9roKQ9yp6T8ZnpR/results?format=json=1=1
CSV:
https://api.apify.com/v1/execs/7t9roKQ9yp6T8ZnpR/results?format=csv=1=1

Hope this helps!

@Jasvinder I think one solution to extract locations for the stations is
via Overpass using the station codes and combining them to the spreadsheet.

Re: [datameet] Data of Indian Railways

[Srihari Thalla]

Hi Sajjad,

I recently noticed that station codes from Datameet railways is used to
update Wikidata pages for the stations. Would it be possible to update the
repo in reverse as well, with the Arun's spreadsheet?

 There are 16,770 station entries of which 11,660 seem to be currently
 operational according to the expiry date of 2999.

 Filtering out goods stations, there are 9835 entries. This still seems
 to include a few yards and cabins that are not legitimate stations. Also
 noticed quite a few spelling and formatting issues in the names. The
 station codes look correct. Some amount of manual cleanup is needed on this
 list.

 The official number of stations according to IR is 7349 stations (as
 of 2017)
 
 and 1817 halts/block huts (2013)
 .

This is an ideal project to use OpenStreetMap for. Existing data seems
pretty poor: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/EXQ

To make it easy to crowdsource, it would be useful if we could start with a
tabular list of offices and their address. This would make it easier to
track progress and distribute the task.

[datameet] Re: 2018 India Village GIS Data Project

[Dhaval Shukla]

Hey

Naraina had done something with Gujarat district and village shape files 
some time ago, but for the life of me I am not able to find it on this 
group today. I downloaded it at the time about a week ago.

This village and district data hasn't been uploaded to the datameet github 
nor yours.

Naraina, I wanted to know if there is a reason why. It is most accurate I 
have found of Gujarat till date (although there are some errors).

Re: [datameet] Data of Indian Railways

[Nikhil VJ]

Hi, 

If there's interest I can set up a mapping interface to crowdsource 
lat-longs. Along the lines of this: https://fuzzymapper.herokuapp.com/ 
But I would take a week to set up so tell. Though it would be best to get 
existing lat-long sets with the official station code and import them in, 
this can help cover the laggards.


Also, if collective work on OpenRefine is required then I can help set it 
up on cloud and keep protected edit access. That won't take more time.

Re: [datameet] Data of Indian Railways

[Sajjad Anwar]

Hi!

There are some ~8900 station coordinates that we scraped a while ago here
https://github.com/datameet/railways
Most of these have station codes so if we want to match with the list Arun
generated we could do it. And then run another round of manual geocoding.

Cheers,
Sajjad

Hi Folks,

Apologies for the late post, but please share this with your friends in
