Locify tool #29

There will be users that will have data that uses existing identifiers from the various geographies (e.g. ASGS 2016 meshblocks). e.g. CSV table of population count for a set of meshblocks.

Meshblock,Count
80044260000,1
70033750000,2
30562872900,3
20686780000,4

For users to use excelerator, they would need to have a column of Loc-I identifiers, which will need to be prepopulated somehow - manually or automated.

To ease this workflow, a locify tool would help prepare the data ready for excelerator (and other tools perhaps). Example workflow:

  1. User uploads CSV file > 2. User selects which column has the identifiers > 3. User selects the spatial object and version (e.g. ASGS 2016 MB) > 4. User submits and gets a CSV returned with the first column having the Loc-I identifier.

Not sure if this belongs as part of the excelerator tools, but this issue is to explore a new feature that will allow users to locify their CSV data.
