Vision of Britain

[docuracy]

• [ ] create proper LPF from it; already begun, in whgdata repo; talk to @kgeographer first; cc any comms with Humphrey

Alternative Strategy

Write Python script:

• [ ] Use titlecase library for de-Capitalising names. Inspect output and customise to include any missed "small_words" (example below)
• [ ] Parse places.csv into FeatureCollection object
  • geometry
  • descriptions
  • names
  • citations
  • types
  • properties.title
• [ ] Augment features by parsing place_links.csv
  • links
• [ ] Augment features by parsing place_names.csv
  • citations
• [ ] Augment features by parsing place_travellers.csv
  • citations
• [ ] Aggregate whens ?
• [ ] Save as .lpf.json.

Customise titlecase

from titlecase import titlecase

def custom_titlecase(word, **kwargs):
    small_words = "a an and as at but by for if in nor of on or so the to up yet".split()
    return titlecase(word, callback=lambda w, **_: w.lower() if w.lower() in small_words else w.title())

converted_place_names = [custom_titlecase(name) for name in place_names]
