Re: [datameet] Virtual chat sometime?

[H. S. Sudhira]

Thanks, Meera for initiating this.

I would like to join as well and perhaps share some efforts on making earth
observation training data open (work in progress) among others.

 Yes, a chat up would be nice. The open data efforts have somehow gone
 down since the pandemic in all areas except health. Would be good to get

[datameet] Karnataka - Administrative boundaries by KSRSAC.

[H. S. Sudhira]

Dear all,

I am sure most of you have learnt that KSRSAC has put out the
administrative boundaries of Karnataka in SHP and KML file formats. In case
you missed it, do check it out here:
K-GIS (karnataka.gov.in)


Please see related posts here:
https://www.linkedin.com/posts/ksrsac-gok_ksrsac-kgis-gis-activity-6825748090587361280-vb2K
https://twitter.com/ksrsac_gok/status/1419981543557144582

A key question is on the licensing of this data. Ideally, it should be
under the Open Government Data License (as per NDSAP). Hope they mention it
explicitly.

Regards,
Sudhira.

Hi Thej,

Thanks for this. Is there any data on the number of tests conducted on a
daily basis? Say for the past 21 days?

Thanks,

[datameet] Fwd: [Urbanstudy] Winter School at IIIT Bangalore

[H. S. Sudhira]

-- Forwarded message --
From: Balaji Parthasarathy 
Date: 31 October 2017 at 23:06
Subject: [Urbanstudy] Winter School at IIIT Bangalore
To: Urban Sarai 


*The Center for Information Technology and Public Policy (CITAPP)*

*International Institute of Information Technology Bangalore (IIITB)*

invites applicants to a 3-day Winter School


*Digital and the **Everyday**: from Codes to Cloud*


11th -13th December 2017

*(Application deadline: 12th November 2017)*


*The Concept**:*
As digital technologies proliferate, our everyday lives have become a
series of digitally mediated interactions. From entertainment to education,
from health to welfare, from banking to transportation, each of these
everyday services are directly or indirectly embedded in the web of digital
networks. What are the building blocks of these networks? Are they just a
combination of software and hardware, or do they involve infrastructure,
regulations, policy frameworks, institutional mechanism and much more? This
entanglement of the digital and the everyday demands a more holistic
understanding of these increasingly sociotechnical systems that we
experience through our everyday lives.

*Themes for 2017*

This year’s Winter School theme, *Digital and the Everyday: from Codes to
Cloud*, takes an interdisciplinary approach to unpack and analyse different
elements of our digitally mediated social existence. For example, the
smartphone notification which reminds a user of a scheduled flight and also
recommends the quickest way to the airport, is enabled by numerous
technologies, most notably machine learning and data analytics, which in
turn are dependent on the user’s data as well as of others in this shared
digital space. Such an interaction raises several issues, such as those
pertaining to algorithms and data, privacy, and the shaping of digital
identities. It also points towards a multitude of actors including
engineers, policy-makers, designers, users, corporates, as well as
activists. The Winter School will address the intertwined nature of some of
these issues by drawing upon IIITB’s research, policy and consulting work
in the area of IT & Society, and other activities at its Centre for IT and
Public Policy ( CITAPP
) and in its
pioneering MSc (Digital Society)

programme.

*Winter School** Structure*

The Winter School will consist of lectures, interactive discussions, film
screenings and group activities. At the end of the third day, participants
will present a poster on a specific aspect of the digital and everyday
discussed during the Winter School. The sessions will be conducted during 9
am and 5 pm every day. A detailed schedule will be available by 3rd week of
November 2017.


*Applications*

Anybody with a Bachelor’s degree, including those in their final year, in
any discipline may apply. Working professionals employed in the government,
the corporate and not-for-profit sectors are also encouraged to apply.
There is *no fee *for attending the Winter School. Outstation participants
may be provided accommodation at IIITB’s hostels on payment of applicable
charges.


*To apply, please fill in the Application **Form at**:*

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdkGNke0fQ2A5iJQd0wPP4g

 Has anyone here worked with transit map design?

 What I mean is the minimalist maps used for metro systems around the
 world like delhi metro, brts maps, london metro etc?

 I want to create one for the shared auto routes of ahmedabad- I have
 mapped quite a few of them already on QGIS- and was wondering if people had
 any tools/suggestions.

 There are no fixed timings on this route, of course, since it runs
 unofficially, but I can create sample times.

Not to predict crime *per se*, but to understand cities using scaling laws,
yes. See this paper for reference based on work at Sante Fe Institute -

Agree that there can be a consolidated response to this.

There is also some discussion going on Talk-in (OpenStreetMap India mailing

Re: [datameet] Re: Google mapping comes under CBI scrutiny - what's do we think

[H. S. Sudhira]

At the outset, the National Map Policy is overarching and technically
prevails over any mapping activity in the country. Having said that, in my
opinion the Survey of India is not oblivious of OpenStreetMap and its
activities in India. They are of course more concerned about Google. As I
interpret the Map Policy, it will require anybody to take permission from
SoI, which Google clearly didn't do. I believe there are other instances
where SoI has permitted mapping by private entities as long as they kept
away from the sensitive areas and installations.

Even in city master plans these are separately notified / as good as being
masked. A decade ago, when we ordered remote sensing data from NRSC (then
NRSA), defence areas were masked clearly raising more eyebrows. We had to
work with this data anyways.

As long as OSMers are keeping away from the sensitive areas/installations
there is little to worry. Perhaps, I would request Arun Ganesh give some
gyaan on this, as Sajjad mentions this has been raised at times on OSM
mailing list.

Going forward, we can be hopeful that DST/SoI will be able to accommodate
data generated from OSM. Aside, there is a paper that points out that
accuracy and updated information is better from volunteered geographic
information (VGI; aka OSM) as a against maps produced by Ordinance Survey.

Sudhira.

 We have had this conversation on the OSM mailing list several times.
 This is somewhat a known issue.

 The thing is that, we should worry only when we have vital points and
 defense installations mapped. Also, what Google did was completely
 insane to SoI because thousands of people visit their maps everyday.
 It's popular. OSM isn't, at least for now.

 I'd say not to worry about this too much.

  SoI decides that. And hence, some of the maps at certain resolutions

Re: [datameet] Map + Data + Video

[H. S. Sudhira]

TileMill https://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/ does this pretty well and
has a crash
course https://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/docs/crashcourse/introduction/ on
this. See here:
https://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/docs/crashcourse/point-data/ and
https://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/docs/crashcourse/tooltips/

And the data is fed from USGS feeds:

 Gora, data should be in CSV / TSV format - in terms of geo data: lat long
 coordinates.

 I totally get the point about an online interface - but that's not the
 primary output for this one. Consider this a quick, impactful communication
 piece for when you get a few minutes of someone's limited attention to make
 a critical point.

 Yes mutual points of interest is of course cool :-)  Was curious as you
 had referred that 'we' might get involved, did you mean datameet or
 something else?

 Cheers,
 Ankur

  Hi Nisha - yes, we the data is available.

 Great. Sounds interesting. What format are the data in? How does one
 get geographical information for the data?

  Hi Gora, not sure if we have been introduced - there are a number of
  possibilities one can imagine here from a GIS interlace to JS-based
  visualization to an app and so on. Our objective for a video is to
 drive the
  message home in a quick, impactful way to policy audiences who may not
 be
  tech savvy and would be time strapped.

 * The only introduction one should need is if there are mutual points
 of interest :-)
 * Our primary interest would be in an online interface
 * A video can be (manually) generated from such an interface. As you
 mention, there is a valid reason why one might want a video. But, I
 will ask again my earlier question: Who do you think your primary
 audience would be?

 Regards,
 Gora

[datameet] Fwd: Bangalore Master Plan 2015, GIS database

Subject: Fwd: Bangalore Master Plan 2015, GIS

 Hello All,
 Sharing something that may be of interest and use to you... see mail
below.
 Best, Radha.




 Hi All,

 One of my old colleague is maintaining the entire Bangalore Revised
Master Plan (RMP) 2015, GIS database on his server and shared the link on
BDA webpage (http://176.9.25.46:8080/msdi/login.html). Last Tuesday met and
suggested him to incorporate small survey and he did the same. Most of the
users answered and results are yet to be analysed. The database is already
a quick hit with more than 3000 users.

 Meanwhile share this valuable database with your friends and colleagues
for studies, research or reference.

 Thanks
