4. UrbanRural - what is
it?
An app to help you find your local heritage.
5. UrbanRural - what’s
the problem?
Who here has ever had to look through a development
plan?
Protected Structures and Built Heritage are buried in the
maps and in a table in the appendix
10. UrbanRural - let’s
solve this!
Educate people about their local built heritage.
Help promote the built heritage of Ireland (Fingal).
Help improve peoples understanding of protected
structures.
11. UrbanRural - The
DATA
Fingal Protected structure list (csv)
Fingal NIAH Survey
Google Maps (api)
Google Places (api)
18. RPS DATA - The
Problems
Even within DubLinked no one is releasing the same data.
Formats are Different - Fingal does csv’s with extra
information.
The rest of the counties are shapefiles with no extra data
appended
19. NaPTAN
What is NaPTAN I hear you say?
It’s “a database system for uniquely identifying all the points
of access to public transport in the UK” (DTF, UK)
It stands for the National Public Transport Access Nodes
It sets the standards of how the information should be
exchanged (xml & csv)
Its main use is in making Journey Planners
24. Not all plain sailing
Not all of co-ordinates are using the same projection so its
looks a bit like this.
I don’t have access to MS Access or ArcGIS
QGIS to the rescue on my dads laptop, able to extract the
data in the proper format and made a bunch of csv files.
26. Suggestions
That the NTA release this data in the other release format
of a suite of csv files.
Maybe DubLinked could take the lead in defining the
standards for data sharing in terms of
file formats
information
27. Hope this was
interesting for you!
Thank you!
