Use polygons instead of bounding boxes for geographic search #9

Closed homme closed 10 years ago

homme commented 12 years ago

Use polygons instead of bounding boxes for geographic search, but continue the ability for a user to draw their own area of interest. Steps:

  1. Homme to improve ability to resize rectangles after they have been drawn.
  2. Helen to ask STFC about possibility of changing WSDL to enable polygon searching. If this is possible:
  3. Helen send shapefiles listed in item 12 to Homme.
  4. Helen and Homme to decide which shapefiles need resolution lowering to avoid slow searching problems.
  5. Geodata to add ability for user to define area of interest by drawing (and resizing) a polygon

As discussed during the MEDIN teleconference on 20th December 2012 the polygons will also need to be shown on the user interface map, not just be used to represent a backend query.

  1. WSDL changes have been made by STFC.
  2. Are shapefiles still required or were they received?
homme commented 11 years ago

I haven't got any record of receiving the shapefiles so I still need these. I can implement the search with whatever shapefile data I receive and can then work on lowering the resolution if it transpires that it slows the searches down.

Shapefiles added to your ftp site
