topojson conversion task (W. Sutton) #9

Open sutt opened 10 years ago

sutt commented 10 years ago

I just need the data, and I can throw it through the converter.

pipelines I've done before: topojson <-> geojson <- kml

Here's Cambridge: https://github.com/cambridgegis/cambridgegis_data/tree/master/DPW/Snow_Emergency_Tow_Routes

@beechnut and @CurtSavoie might have a link to the Boston data

For Cambridge: Here's how the topjson comes out: https://github.com/sutt/WTTMtopojson/blob/master/willtheytowme/topojson/camb.topojson

Size analysis: geojson: 46kb -> topjson 12kb (9-15kb depending on granularity requested.)

Note: if this is to be the main data structure, there may need to be a more elaborate schema written into this json. Currently, the conversion tool allows for an id field for each object (road section) which could be used to join this geo-data to any properties associated w/ it.

@sutt that is beautiful. hopefully we'll have more data from other cities to feed you soon.. (closing #2 because same info is here.)

(I really want to be able to assign this issue to sutt but alas I don't know how because outside the codeforboston org...)
