dear souvik ,

so you share what kind of parsing tool or bot you use. we all have many queries

if you could share guidance on this matter.

great if you could share the code to do the parsing, it would be interesting to

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

Re: [datameet] How does OSM store its data

[Sajjad Anwar]

Hey Nikhil,

OSM uses a PostgreSQL database as the main data store, along with PostGIS
extension for geometries. The tags are stored in key and value columns and
uses hstore, which makes it easy to add new ones without having to modify
the table schema. You can read about the database schema and infrastructure
here https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Database

Overpass is independent of the above infrastructure. It reads from the
replication files and builds a binary on-disk database. More about Overpass
here https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Overpass_API

Also, you should join the OSM Talk-in mailing list if you haven't!
https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-in

are relevant for projects.

Re: [datameet] What are the different workflows for editing OSM?

[Sajjad Anwar]

Hey Dilip,

Great having you at GeoBLR last week.
Excellent way to get started to OSM.

I usually point people to the guides that we have been working one
here https://www.mapbox.com/mapping/ and http://learnosm.org/en/

You can certainly use a mobile app to collect GPS traces. GPX is the
preferred format. You can drag and drop GPX to the iD editor and JOSM
editor.

Finally, you should join the OSM India mailing list
https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-in - you will find these
type of questions answered quickly!

Cheers,
Sajjad

[datameet] Save the Map update

[Sajjad Anwar]

Hey everyone,

Thank you so much for supporting Save the Map (http://savethemap.in/)
and sending your thoughts to the Ministry of Home Affairs regarding
the Geospatial Information Regulation Bill. We manage to send over
1700 emails to the MHA, and several organisations and groups sent
feedback to them expressing disapproval of the current state of the
bill.

As of the monsoon session the bill was not submitted to Parliament and
seems to have been put on the back burner. There has been no official
response regarding if they will change the draft and incorporate any
of the feedback. So as of right now we are unsure if the bill will
come back and what form it will take.

We will be continuing to monitor the situation and send updates when
there are new developments. You can see some other responses/comments
that have been sent to the MHA [1].

Again thank you for your support and quick action. We hope to continue
working toward a good policy on geospatial information that supports
individuals and businesses to continue to innovate in the space.

Cheers,
Sajjad for Save the Map team

[datameet] [BLR] Another interactive map making workshop - April 21, 4pm.

[Sajjad Anwar]

Hey everyone,

We are organising another interactive map making workshop this Thursday
(April 21, 4pm) at Mapbox. This is a bit advanced, diving into using
OpenStreetMap data to make a game and understand internals of mapping.

I use these techniques to inspect data and make visuals like the ones you
 have seen
before. I hope this will be valuable to folks on this group and look
forward to meeting you!

RSVP: http://mapboxgljsworkshop2.splashthat.com

Cheers,
Sajjad

 My project focuses on the impact of road development in rural areas. I am in
 need of the core road network *.kml or *.shp files for Bihar and/or Assam(or
 all of India, but I am most in need of data for these states).
 Does anyone have an idea where I might find these data? I have looked all

 I am working on digitizing post-delim ACs and am willing to trade these data

[datameet] openstreetmap.in!

[Sajjad Anwar]

Hey everyone,

Really happy to announce that openstreetmap.in is back and running.
This time with a great style and legal international borders. -
http://openstreetmap.in/

Earlier today, Satyaakam, Arun, Sanjay and I put it together. It's
hosted on a server that Sanjay and I maintain along with several other
open data projects. The tiles are hosted on mapbox.com under the
openstreetmap account, updated regularly - changes to OpenStreetMap
will reflect in under 10 minutes. The style is prepared using Mapbox
Studio and is here - https://github.com/osmlab/india.tm2 If you have
feature requests or find bugs in the style, just open a ticket. Pull
requests welcome!

You can use this map in your project, the instructions are here -
https://github.com/geohacker/openstreetmap.in#using-this-map

We have also setup a tasking manager instance -
http://tasks.openstreetmap.in/ - to coordinate mapping events and
workshops across the country. Please reach out to the list if you need
help organising a task.

Cheers,
Sajjad.

Re: [datameet] CommunityGIS : need for an infrastructure for uploading the spatial data

[Sajjad Anwar]

Hi,

This is interesting. Part of what we discuss at Datameet is the
infrastructure and also access to infrastructure data.

But it's important to keep these resources together and make it available
through existing established platforms like OpenStreetMap -
http://openstreetmap.com. This is heavily dependent on the license the
dataset is attached to but it doesn't hurt to talk.

If communitygis.in is only a place to store these datasets, I recommend we
use Datameet's github repository for this. We have been also storing data
on archive.org. This ensures easy access and leverages existing
infrastructure, reducing the dependency on a small group of individuals.

Happy to talk more about this.

Cheers,
Sajjad.

[datameet] Re: Mapping Nepal to support emergency response.

[Sajjad Anwar]

Hello everyone,

Bumping this up. We have activated few more tasks based on the
priority from the ground support staff. American Red Cross and local
aid groups are downloading OpenStreetMap data and using it to plan
rescue missions - this is huge and important.

Few Red Cross staff is taking some of the maps with them to Kathmandu
right now. https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/hot/2015-April/008102.html
The Kathmandu Living Labs is mobilising as well.

There aren't any other datasets that we can rely on at this point. See
what the status of Google Maps
http://lxbarth.com/compare/#16/27.6892/85.3237

We need more hands to knock off these tasks - http://tasks.hotosm.org/
Arun and I have put together a good starting documentation here -
https://datameet.hackpad.com/Nepal-Earthquake-Mapping-YDjLauUK0Ek

All map data is updated and packaged for download every 30 minutes -
if you know anyone going up there for rescue operations consult -
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/2015_Nepal_earthquake
(paper/digital maps)

Mapbox Bangalore is open throughout this week for anyone - we are well
equipped. If you are interested in helping, please get in touch or
respond to this thread.

Cheers,
Sajjad.

Re: [datameet] Few questions regarding pincode.datameet.org.

[Sajjad Anwar]

Hey Nitin,

We have been trying to figure out how to put pincodes on the map and
open the data. I'm going to try and answer some of your questions. But
others on this group will also chip in.


 -as the main basis of data is geonames, and that itself has many
 errors for india, was there some algorithm which you applied to
 identify and/or correct those errors. If there is an algorithm for
 that, are you planning to open source that?

The source code for pincode.datameet.org is here -
https://github.com/sanand0/pincode
Do feel free to poke around.

This is a crowdsourced effort - there are people making changes all
the time. You can see this in the feed -
http://pincode.datameet.org/feed


 -did you also make use of osm data. i was curious if the CC license
 under which pincode.datameet provides its data is compliant with osm
 terms.


I don't think we are using OSM yet. But yes, definitely possible. This
is the coverage of PIN codes on OSM -
https://api.tiles.mapbox.com/v4/planemad.9acc2036/page.html?access_token=pk.eyJ1IjoicGxhbmVtYWQiLCJhIjoiemdYSVVLRSJ9.g3lbg_eN0kztmsfIPxa9MQ#6/22.269/81.365

 -if not osm, did you use any other source apart from geonames. i could
 see some entries made by community over web.

 -are you people still actively looking for some alternative resources
 or algorithms? do you have any suggestions on the current state of
 india pincode-geo mapping?

Absolutely - we are open on all fronts to improve the data we have. Do
you have ideas?
For some context, you can read -

friend and writer Francesca Recchia is passing through Bangalore.

Francesca will talk about her work in countries in conflict and how people
perceive national/regional boundaries in such contexts. In her talk, she
will connect examples from daily life in places at war with the images and
imaginations that come from geopolitical analysis and the media.

This is a different theme from previous GeoBLR events and we think it will
particularly interesting to everyone on this group to think about these
issues. The venue is Fields of View, No 1915, 5th Cross, 18th A Main, JP
Nagar II Phase, Bangalore, 560078 (map

[datameet] [Bangalore] Make a map! February 28th

[Sajjad Anwar]

Hello everyone,

Mapbox https://mapbox.com just announced a small map making event
focusing on OpenStreetMap. It's going to be a great experience learning
from the experts how to do small, organised mapping surveys, and using open
tools and data to make a map that not only looks great but also tells a
compelling story.

The event is on February 28th, 1pm to 6pm at the Mapbox office in
Indiranagar (map
https://a.tiles.mapbox.com/v4/lxbarth.l6nobp32/attribution,zoompan,geocoder,share.html?access_token=pk.eyJ1IjoibHhiYXJ0aCIsImEiOiJFVXdYcUlvIn0.bbaHTEWlnAwGgyVwJngMdQ#16/12.9817/77.6370
).
Mapbox is now setting up shop to improve OpenStreetMap and work on open
location data and tools in Bangalore. Come say hi on February 26
https://www.mapbox.com/blog/opening-bengalru/!

Thanks and hope to see some of you soon!

Cheers,
Sajjad.

Came across this article about how a startup created an addressing

http://motherboard.vice.com/read/the-mailman-mapping-brazils-largest-favela-by-hand

Just for the record - I don't agree to the fact that they have their

Google. But something to think about.

 The post offices are organised as below in a hierarchical way


 HEAD OFFICE  Has a unique code

 There are two more types of offices GPO which is a head office named
 separately
 Experimental post offices below Branch offices which may be temporary or
 later promoted as branch office.

 The location of these post offices does not have anything to do with other
 administrative divisions though it may match to some extent.

 The hierarchy also may cross boundaries depending on other factors.

[datameet] Exploring schools data - Karnataka Learning Partnership launches new app!

[Sajjad Anwar]

Hello everyone,

I'm excited to share the launch of a new version of the web application at
Karnataka Learning Partnership. https://klp.org.in

For those of you who don't know about KLP - we are incubated at the Akshara
Foundation (http://akshara.org.in) and work on streamlining data collection
processes, building dashboards and acting as an interface between several
organisations in the education space in Karnataka and India.

Over the last five months, we were working on rewriting all of our old
infrastructure. As well as, redesign the front-end for better comprehension
of the wealth of data that Akshara and our partners collect.

All of our software infrastructure (https://klp.org.in) , data (
https://klp.org.in/data) and code (https://github.com/klpdotorg/dubdubdub)
are open.

Please give our app a whirl and send us feedback! If you are interested in
the data or our technology, reach out and we'll be very happy to talk to
you!

Thanks much!

Cheers,
Sajjad.

Re: [datameet] Geotagged pincodes from OpenStreetMap

Thanks for this Arun. This is part of the corpus of data that we are
integrating to the database for the pincodes API.

On Tue, Sep 23, 2014 at 10:17 PM, Arun Ganesh arun.plane...@gmail.com wrote:
 In OSM, there around around 4800 place nodes with postal_code attribute in
 India. This has been around since 2007 and is probably the largest free

 Here is a geojson dump of it:
 https://gist.github.com/93074c8cf23a08494107

 After a random quality check, I would say its over 95% accurate. This covers
 all cities and major towns. Village coverage is poor.

Re: [datameet] [GeBLR] Reminder! Sprint 2, September 18, 6pm - 8pm

[Sajjad Anwar]

Thank you Kavita.

I would say we are still very early to start branching out into
multiple meetups under the same banner. We are trying to wrap our
heads around what GeoBLR might be able to do and we'd love to take
that time to think through this slowly. The idea of the meetup, at
least right now, is not to split up and expand, but try and get
everyone together as much as possible.

If there are people interested in helping us run GeoBLR, do reach out
to us off list and we can discuss how to go about it. But we can only
consider expanding next year because, like I said, we are still
figuring out what GeoBLR has to become.

That said, the mailing list fairly active in case people want to
discuss about issues, if they cannot make it for the events. Feel free
to post your questions and I'm sure there will be someone who can
help!

Cheers,
Sajjad.

 Well would it be possible to have multiple GeoBLR meetups led by various
 volunteers? Such as me, Vaibhav or someone other than you (Sajjad), etc?

 We would follow the same procedure as you guys would -- announce the meetup
 at least a week in advance, outline an agenda and follow up with
 participants -- right now I feel there is no room to expand on what would be
 an amazing forum to solve some tricky spatial problems. Even though some of
 us can't make the Thursday evening meetups, we should still be able to
 participate in discussions/in-person events, especially if we are willing to
 bring new problem statements to the table.

 In case anyone is interested in starting an alternative meetup (e.g.
 different day/time) under the same banner of GeoBLR -- I'm all ears! It
 would be nice to branch out to other areas of the city, as well as meet new
 people who may not already be aware of GeoBLR and its awesome initiatives :)

 Thanks for your input Kavita and Vaibhav.

 We have tried this with Datameet and other meetups. Weekends are
 usually quite packed for people with other meetups or they generally
 prefer to stay back home and do other things.

 With GeoBLR, I've tried doing it on Fridays and Saturdays. The
 feedback was that people like to keep their weekend open and do it on
 a Thursday. This seem to have worked out pretty well for us so far.

 I'm open to moving the venue to other parts of the city though, if
 that's helpful.

Re: [datameet] Re: Mapping MPs with criminal cases

Hello Saurabh,

The data you sent does have issues - some of the geometry columns are
empty. Plus, there are 544 constituencies in the shapefile but the
criminal dataset has only 184 data points, and the MP assets dataset
has only 443.

I've did the spatial join as you require and uploaded them here -

Let me know if it looks okay.

 Hi,

 Is it a mistake on my part? Because I used the shapefiles and converted
it using shpescape. Also, is it necessary to have all data points to merge?
E.g. does my sheet need all 544 constituencies, even though relevant data
is only for a smaller number?

Not necessarily. But you had to tell the join operation to keep the records
without matches as well.

[datameet] [GeoBLR] Reminder - GeoBLR Sprint tomorrow! 6pm - 8pm.

[Sajjad Anwar]

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to remind about the GeoBLR Sprint tomorrow 6pm - 8pm at
the Center for Internet and Society. If you have spatial data/maps
problems that you would like to get help with, bring them along.

Some of the things that are in the pipe -
1. People want to understand Map Projections better.
2. What data should we focus on in OSM to improve Geocoding.
3. Supporting spatial data in applications like R.
4. A brand new and the very missing OSM app for Android.

I'm sure it's going to be great. If you have things in mind, respond
to this thread or let one of us know. More details -
http://datameet.org/2014/06/24/the-geoblr-sprint-1-july-3-6pm-8pm/

Also, please don't forget to RSVP.
See some of you tomorrow!

Cheers,
Sajjad.

[Sajjad Anwar]

Hello everyone,

We are really excited to announce the first GeoBLR Sprint. The event
is on July 3, 6pm - 8pm at The Center for Internet and Society.

The sprint will focus on solving particular map and spatial data
problems that the participants bring to the event.

I've written a blog post announcing the event on the Datameet blog -
http://datameet.org/2014/06/24/the-geoblr-sprint-1-july-3-6pm-8pm/

If you have problems that you would like to get some help with, please
write to us prior to the event to make sure we all have enough context
to start thinking about solutions.

Hope to see at least some of you there!
Please do RSVP  - http://www.meetup.com/GeoBLR/events/190931712/

Thanks!

Cheers,
Sajjad

[datameet] [GeoBLR] June Meetup and Mapping.

[Sajjad Anwar]

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to announce our June meetup. June 5th, 6pm - 8pm at the
Center for Internet and Society. In this edition, we thought it would
be nice to spend couple of hours editing OpenStreetMap and fixing
things specific to Bangalore to begin with.

We will also do a quick introduction to OpenStreetMap editing and
concepts. And there will be chai and samosas!

More details and RSVP on the meetup page -
http://www.meetup.com/GeoBLR/events/185031242/
Hope to see you some of you there!

 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.

Re: [datameet] India states and district geospatial data in language

[Sajjad Anwar]

Hello Justin,

The data that you are looking for is really interesting. I can't think
of any source, but you might find it in OpenStreetMap
(http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/2018151). Look for
boundary=administrative and admin_level 4 and 3.

On the other hand, this is perhaps something that we can crowdsource?
May be from the 2011 census shapefile. If people are up for it, we can
coordinate it via Github or something.

Cheers,
Sajjad.

 Hello everyone,

 Quick update about hackathon. It's on Sunday 23rd March.
 We have three tracks - Election, Census and Data journalism.

 We have started putting together details about each of the tracks,
 datasets and some ideas here -
 http://odc.datameet.org/odcblr2014:hackathon. It would be fantastic if
 you can add to the ideas list and spread the word (just click the edit
 button and type away!).

 If you know of supporting datasets or something that would be useful,
 please expand those sections too. Please ask if you have any
 questions.

 Bring your own army of data wranglers or team up with people who are
 going to be at the hackathon. I'm sure the datasets we have are
 interesting and we can start building useful things.

 And don't forget to sign-up! http://odc.datameet.org/odcblr2014

 See you over the weekend!

 In the poc you can find your ward by clicking on the map or by searching or

 We have extensively used GIS with GeoDjango. While GIS is doable,
 maybe we should agree upon what the primary purpose of the site should
 be. What I thought that you were proposing was a site that acts as a
 central location where data from multiple Indian data sources are
 accumulated,
 and provided to users via an API.

 While we are also interested in GIS, visualisation, and reporting, to my
 mind
 that should be a secondary focus for this site.


 My focus is to deliver bangalore data through API. that includes location
 based query too
 - For example given lat, long what are the nearest bus stops.
 - Given a lat, long what are the nearest schools
 - Given a lat, long whats the AC, PB and WARD
 etc

 There are the things that can be consumed by an app directly.


Hey, you don't necessarily need geodjango for these. You can write simple
spatial queries in PostGIS.
And they aren't very expensive. For example -
http://postgis.refractions.net/documentation/manual-2.0/ST_Within.html

I'll be more than happy to help if you need support on the spatial data
front.

[Sajjad Anwar]

Thanks!

I put together a map using the data - http://geohacker.in/bmtc/
You can search for bus stops and neighborhoods. The search uses the bus
stops data and city level data from geonames.org

There are couple of things that have to be fixed. But if you come across
some issues or have ideas for new features, please file a
tickethttps://github.com/geohacker/bmtc/issues/new.

When we have the routes data, I can put that up and see if we can find
directions easily.

The code isn't too clean, but I'll make it alright -

Also, it's a bit slow initially because there are 2201 points coming into
your browser. Will fix soon.

OSM allows gtfs tags -
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/General_Transit_Feed_Specification
Since GTFS is a widely accepted standard.

I'm asking some friends at OSM about uploading the bus stop data to
the repository. Since we scraped it there might be a challenge. Do you
know what license BMTC publishes this in?

Re: [datameet] Re: 2200+ BMTC busstop locations

[Sajjad Anwar]

Hey,

On Feb 19, 2014 10:34 AM, Suvajit suvajit.sengu...@gmail.com wrote:


 Good job Thej  Sajjd on scraping BMTC stop  route info from their
website and presenting on OSM.

 But I am sure that if we count bus stations in Bangalore it will have
1000 stops more ( around 4000 in total ). So we need to find those missing
ones.
 Google Map has better list of bus stations for Bangalore than BMTC. But
unfortunately GMap does not provide API to get that information directly.
 I found a workaround where Google Local search provides bus stations in a
given locality.
 So quite an amount on scrapping work can be done on Google Map itself to
extract bus_stations. I will give try in spare time.

Just a word of caution - this is against Google Maps / Search Terms of
Service https://maps.google.com/help/terms_maps.html. Even if you scrape
the data out we cannot use it in any meaningful way.


 On the live tracking point, BMTC  already awarded a project last year to
put tracking devices in all its fleet (6500+ buses). The project is
expected to complete end of this year. In that case, if the system works
well we can get the GPS logs of BMTC buses.
 This can help us both in live update and also accurate route and stop
database building.

 Also BMTC has floated a tender for digitization of schedules. If this
project is on, we can expect to get accurate bus stop, route and schedule
information from BMTC. In fact, we can ask BMTC to publish their data in
GTFS format which we can use to build services/solutions on top of it.

 Sajjad,
   What license are you asking about ? License to publish GTFS data ?

 Regards,
 Suvajit

Re: [datameet] how to consume the gtfs data?

[Sajjad Anwar]

Hello Arun,

The GTFS API reference from Google is really comprehensive and answers
all your questions -
https://developers.google.com/transit/gtfs/reference
If you have questions related to the feeds, organizing them and making
it open, you should ask them on the Transit Developers mailing list -
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/transit-developers

The data is not too recent, but that's what Google is using for the
transit directions for now.

HTH.

Sajjad.

 I am looking for some help in trying to understand GTFS data (for Bangalore)

 1. Getting bus routes between stations, which may, or may not be on the same

 2. Getting all stops of a particular route number, etc

 Pretty sure the data isn't up-to-date. But still want to know what sort of 
 queries can we run against it.

 Usually, it uses Google drawing libraries. How I had implemented a
similar idea:

Are you talking about the circle tool? It doesn't use any of the stuff from
Google.


 1.You must have co-ordinates for all of your post box locations.
 2. When page is loaded initialize your map and gather the data for you
locations (most likely store it in an array).
 3. When ever a circle is drawn, fetch the 'Bounds' of the circle and run
through the loop of array to match if the co-ordinates are well inside the
bound, if yes then create the marker.

 Other way of doing it is through Google Fusion table, it really shortens
the painstaking of doing the location geo-coding! (I have some implemented
codes for that, in case if you wish let me know)


By far the best and efficient way to deal with spatial queries and search
is to have the data in a postgresql database with postgis extensions.

Re: [datameet] Traffic updates on mapping services

Oh dang. That's bizarre. Hope everything was okay.

 Thanks Sajjad.

 Had a bizarre case of an emergency ambulance driver of 108 service not
 knowing the way to the Govt Hospital in Chennai.  Had to stop and ask 3
 times with old, paralysed homeless lady in a crisis.

  Quick question -
 
  Any idea how soon traffic route changes (as with Chennai Metro etc) are
 updated in Google Maps / OSM / Map my India ?
 
 Google Maps and other commercial service providers update it
 occasionally. The frequency of update usually depends on the area and
 availability of recent satellite images. Updates are frequent if it's a
 metro.

 At OSM it is voluntarily updated. If one of us spot a change we'll
 incorporate it.

  Is there some official linkage between traffic police and wayfinding
 service providers?

 Not that I know of.
