A geological data platform for exploration, integration, and analysis (v2).
This repository represents the core of the Macrostrat system, containing its database schema and control scripts to maintain it. As such, it provides a "build recipe" for the open-source core of Macrostrat, which in v2 will be provided publicly as a runnable platform for curating geologic maps and other datasets.
The core component packaged here is a Python application designed to control various aspects of Macrostrat's system and supporting processes (e.g., map caching and harmonization).
The Macrostrat v2 codebase requires docker, and either docker compose or
kubectl (for Kubernetes) to run.
To install the Python application that controls Macrostrat, head to the
py-root directory. Running make will install the Python
dependencies and build the application.
Documentation is a work in progress. We have starting points for:
Macrostrat in a Box, a future Docker Compose-based setup for running Macrostrat locally on a single host
Map staging scripts: ad-hoc scripts for scraping vector maps from the web and uploading to Macrostrat
Other documentation of general interest can be found in the docs/ directory.
