Guidance/tooling to convert from KML/shape files to standard formats #191

Open lgs85 opened 1 year ago

lgs85 commented 1 year ago

A key piece of initial feedback from our pilots has been that potential publishers are mostly storing their geographical data as KML or shape files, with feature data stored elsewhere. This supports what we found in our supply side research. In order to boost chances of adoption it is clear that we will need to make it as easy as possible for publishers do the mapping from their existing files/databases to the standard formats. Ideally this would be in the form of some sort of generic tooling and accompanying guidance, in addition to direct support for publishers. We should consider what such guidance and tooling might look like.

This has been described as a 'major priority' by one key stakeholder.
