Data collection from map data sources #7

Open vkbo opened 3 years ago

vkbo commented 3 years ago

Create scripts to collect map data from official sources, ready for import into the map cache db.

fzeiser commented 3 years ago

Data sources:

Kartverket: Kommunegrenser and Fylkesgrenser, see here
TED-database: MET defined areas like: "Fjellstrøk i Norge"

fzeiser commented 3 years ago

Kartverket data is available in FGDB, GEOJSON, GML, PostGIS and SOSI. Will go for GEOJSON, as this seems widely used and generally easy to process. This is anyhow unrelated to how we store the information in the DB.

@vkbo: Suggestions on what format we use when storing in the DB? We should store some information on the projection, I assume.

Info about projection is fine, but use lat,lon anyway. Add information about geoid also, that will be WGS84.
