Load Layer - Indigenous forest estate

[rp-ala]

For the first time, a comprehensive national description of the forest areas over which Indigenous people have ownership, management or special rights is available. This new spatial dataset describes and maps Australia's Indigenous forest estate. The Indigenous forest dataset describes the 41 million hectares of forested land that is owned or managed by Australia's indigenous communities or over which Indigenous people have use or rights. The dataset was developed by combining data on Indigenous land with data on Australia’s forest cover. Approximately three-quarters of this 41 million hectares of Indigenous forest is located in the Northern Territory and Queensland.

Eventually found another location that has a shapefile download on it using some google searches for ABARES and browsing to get to it:

http://www.agriculture.gov.au/abares/forestsaustralia/publications/display?url=http://143.188.17.20/anrdl/DAFFService/display.php?fid=pb_aif13g9abfs20140604_11a.xml

[ansell]

Looking at the URLs though, it is possible that page doesn't include the same version as the XML document, but the equivalent page for the XML document (dated 2015-08-28) in the original issue has no shapefiles attached to it, and merely references the 2014 version of the metadata, and both are labelled as 2013 internally.

Failure in spatial-service when uploading this layer to spatial-test.ala.org.au. Opened issue on spatial-service at https://github.com/AtlasOfLivingAustralia/spatial-service/issues/7

Looking into conversion possibilities using gdal to convert the .adf files to ESRI hdr files or others that are supported by spatial.ala.org.au if that doesn't work:

Seemed to successfully create an ENVI HDR .bil file after extracting the zip file and running gdal_translate on the ind_for13 directory

Spatial-service is not currently able to support this. After looking through the spatial-service code, as there is no documentation, I have tried both ENVI HDR and ESRI HDR formats that the internal code seems to support but both of them fail with the exception described in AtlasOfLivingAustralia/spatial-service#7

[ansell]

I wasn't packaging the .prj file along with the .bil and .hdr files, which was causing an issue.

The commands used for converting were:

$ unzip aif13g9abfs20131231egialb132.zip
$ gdal_translate -of EHdr aif13g9abfs20131231egialb132/ind_for13/ indigenous_forest_estate.bil
$ zip -r indigenous_forest_estate_processed.EHdr.zip indigenous_forest_estate.*

This layer requires attention from @adam-collins as I am unfamiliar with the use of a raster file as a contextual layer. See notes on AtlasOfLivingAustralia/spatial-service#7 for background.

[ansell]

Note that I deleted the layer on spatial-test as it was uploaded as an environmental layer instead of a contextual layer.

The target for this is now the 2013 v2.0 file:
