VQO data source #24

Closed smnorris closed 6 years ago

smnorris commented 7 years ago

VQO data is available in BCGW, but the file size exceeds the capacity of the download service.

As a stopgap, the data is currently pulled from a manual extract posted to my web server: http://www.hillcrestgeo.ca/outgoing/conservationlands/VLI.gdb.zip

The only other way I can see around it is ordering it in a few chunks using AOIs ...

smnorris commented 7 years ago

Yes. https://github.com/smnorris/bcdata/issues/5

Before kludging that together it would be good to consult with DataBC. Perhaps updates to the download service and catalog api will make things easier.

@smnorris can we close this as at least a partial duplicate of #43?

smnorris commented 6 years ago

I'll close #43. It looks like DWDS remains the only resource listed at https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/visual-landscape-inventory so some kind of alternative method is needed for downloading the data. Posting to gh is probably best, I think I know a kludge to get around the error in #43.

VLI data now downloads fine via bcdata/ DWDS, perhaps the max size has been upped.
