Shuttle rickshaw (Shared auto) data #1

Open ndkcha opened 7 years ago

ndkcha commented 7 years ago

Map the shuttle rickshaw routes of Ahmedabad.

gnatih commented 7 years ago

Can we create a separate repo for this project as well? This repo will consist of (for now) -

Finally, we need to decide if .gpx is the best format to share data. Other options are .shp (Shapefiles) or .geojson (GeoJSON).

hypothal commented 7 years ago

IMO we should use GeoJSON. Shapefiles NO NO..

Knowledge, that is discovered, lasts a lifetime..

Do we want to upload raw files on github ? We can look up for any services like firebase or aws (free for initial usage) where data can be stored/fetched using API calls or websocket namespaces.

gnatih commented 7 years ago

@ndkcha can you demo such a service?

ndkcha commented 7 years ago

Like the one we are using with open-loo project. The data is uploaded on Firebase. And then we can fetch the data with their listeners. Like this, we can avoid uploading raw files on Github. So no one has to download it to use it.

gnatih commented 7 years ago

That sounds ok too. But again we eventually have to decide what we call 'open-data'. I always thought providing raw files in a standardised format is what we were aiming for. Correct me if I am wrong. (@shravan91, @hypothal)

ndkcha commented 7 years ago

We have made a repository (link here) for the same. Anyone can submit a pull request regarding the raw data files to the repository. We can also make a form where anyone can provide information (some people may not use gps data). I'll share details about the form, when the fields are finalized. @gnatih @hypothal @shravan91 @shukla777 you guys can help us finalize the fields.

gnatih commented 7 years ago

Just put a simple form that allows file attachments with the following fields. The form can reside at http://openahmedabad.org/contribute.

Some information about the data collection policy, open-ahmedabad etc. How or where this data will be used.

Name (Whom should we attribute the data, if any) Email (Where we can communicate further, if required) Subject (In short, what is this data?) Message (Tell us a bit more about the data you are contributing) Attachment (Only .zip files)

shravan91 commented 7 years ago

@gnatih

I think your idea of having something like >http://openahmedabad.org/contribute is good. I will write on can people contribute the data to the website in by end of this week.

I am opening up a new issue here.

shravan91 commented 7 years ago

@ndkcha @jimishio This is FYI

shravan91 commented 7 years ago

@hypothal

We should accept GIS files in any format. I mean, People can upload any kind of GIS file on the website. We convert them to GeoJSON and provide a link to download. I can help you in the conversion.

shravan91 commented 7 years ago

Next Steps

To put up this project on the website.
