===== Things to know beforehand ===== | ===== Things to know beforehand ===== | ||
- | Currently, SD requires a KML file to publish as a map (not currently a Shapefile) | + | You must know how to [[publisher:adding_resource|upload resources to Dublinked]]. |
- | To generate a KML from an Excel or CSV file use one of the online converters Eg. CSV To KML Converter (convertcsv.com) | + | |
- | You Will be asked to identify any name/description field(s) and the latitude/longitude columns | + | Currently (July 2021), Dublinked requires a KML or GeoJSON file to publish as a map. |
- | Convert then download the result and upload to SD | + | |
- | It now needs to be imported into the Datastore and the Geoserver: | + | |
- | Click on the resource and there should now be a link to “Import GeoData” | + | |
- | ====== Browsing, searching and downloading contents from SmartDublin ====== | + | You must have one of the following |
+ | * a CSV file that includes latitude and longitude or X and Y values | ||
+ | * a KML file | ||
+ | * a GeoJSON file | ||
+ | [[publisher:ArcGIS data to lat/long|If you have a CSV containing eastings and northings, see here]] | ||
+ | |||
+ | - To generate a GeoJSON from an Excel or CSV file use this link:[[public:converting_geolocated_data|Converting geolocated data]] | ||
+ | - Once you have generated the GeoJSON, upload it to the dataset on Dublinked where you have published the CSV file | ||
- | ===== Who is this guide for ===== | + | ===== Uploading the data to the Geoserver and Datastore ===== |
+ | To display a map, the data needs to be available in the Geoserver and the Datastore. | ||
+ | * Click on the (KML or GeoJSON) resource and there should now be a link to **“Import GeoData”** | ||
+ | * Click on this link to upload the data to the Geoserver and the Datastore | ||
+ | {{ :publisher:upload_to_geoserver.jpg?600 |}} | ||
+ | * You will be asked about the EPSG code, **click OK to accept the default value** | ||
+ | {{ :publisher:accept_default_epsg.jpg?600 |}} | ||
- | * Users visiting SmartDublin to explore data | + | * You should get the following message, confirming that the data has been submitted to the Datastore and Geoserver: |
+ | {{ :publisher:submitted_resources_message.jpg |}} | ||
+ | **If it does not load correctly, see [[publisher:error on csv upload to geoserver|]]** | ||
+ | * You should now see 2 new resources on the dataset, one labelled with “Datastore via GeoServer”, the other “Web Map Service in GeoServer”: | ||
+ | {{ :publisher:2_new_resources_in_dataset.jpg?600 |}} | ||
+ | * And if you refresh the dataset, the map should display by default. | ||
+ | {{ :publisher:successful_load_no_styling.jpg?600 |}} | ||
- | ===== What this guide teaches ===== | + | As you can see, this map is not very useful. You may want to style it, that is, use CMS styling to improve the way it displays. For Dublinked we are going to use common styling for harmonized datasets across the local authorities so you may be able to just [[publisher:copy_styling_from_existing_map|copy an existing style from a similar dataset]]. |
