Geodata modelling #19

Open timgdavies opened 9 years ago

timgdavies commented 9 years ago

We need to identify the best ways to represent geodata within our model.

In particular:

What vocabulary to use for geodata?
What URIs to link against for countries?
How to represent country boundaries?

timgdavies commented 9 years ago

The RDF rendering of the CIA World Factbook at http://wifo5-03.informatik.uni-mannheim.de/factbook/ provides useful information in terms of flags, geodata etc. but it is not clear how up-to-date the information is, now is it easy to link against URIs for ISO codes (need to identify the country name used in the Factbook first)

We might need to load our own boundary line data from a source such as https://data.hdx.rwlabs.org/dataset/lsib-lines-global-simplified

For project data there will be two common cases:

the basic dot on a map indicating the approx. location
concession polygon indicating the licensed area where the project is located. For an example of polygon data see: Moabi: http://osm.moabi.org/way/12303/history
