Re: [datameet] Crowd sourcing the Data

2018-05-25 Thread Nikhil VJ 
Hi Jasvinder,

I had posted earlier on exploring some technologies that could help towards
such a platform.
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/datameet/Xs8lYweKXeQ/2io96LKLBQAJ

I've been learning those technologies, and hope to get a pilot project
rolling in the coming months. (if you want it too then connect!)

In my analysis, there are two seemingly contradictory truths which are
equally true:
1. Plenty of good platforms already there.
2. Lots of data that should get out there.

Between those two I think there is room for a "data sandbox" kind of space.
A nursery maybe. Where data that is still raw, "not quite ready" etc can
come in and take time to mature, get time to work things out and prove its
worth instead of being demanded that first. One site that's doing a lot in
this regard is opencity.in started by some DM members and Oorvani
Foundation. On my end, I'm fascinated by OpenStreetMap's variable-schema
metadata model, the community curating it on OSM Wiki and the ease with
which the Overpass Turbo portal facilitates mixing and extracting the data.
So I want to extend that to non-cartographic data.

[datameet] Andhra Pradesh - geojson/shapefile of Mandals or mandal-taluks mapping

2018-05-25 Thread Kartik Desikan 
Dear folks,
I am trying to correlate Andhra Pradesh divisions at Talukas/Mandal level 
with Census 2011 Population.

IND_adm files are as Andhra Pradesh Talukas 
Indian Census is as per Andhra Pradesh Mandals
A group of Mandals form a Taluka.

Hence I need either:
1. Mapping between AP talukas and mandals (OR)
2. Geojson file of AP mandals

Hope someone can help, much appreciated
Regards
Kartik

Re: [datameet] Crowd sourcing the Data

2018-05-25 Thread Jasvinder Singh 
Dear Arun,

Taking up your second interrogative first, actually the idea came from one
of the threads in the group itself.
One query was regarding Bus stops in a particular city. Now imagine the
power of crowd sourcing for such a project. Just one person in a city when
commuting by any means, within a course of few days can mark KMZ points of
bus stops and upload them. That's just one person.

Now coming to the first part of your mail. The very idea for propagating
"the idea of crowd sourcing" is to increase that small fraction of persons
"who contribute data voluntary" to substantial numbers where it starts to
make a difference. And if  am not wrong, this is the very idea of making
groups like "datameet".

Just a thought.

Regards.
