Publishing Map files on SD

Who is this guide for

This guide is for publishers who would like to display a map file on SmartDublin. They already have a CSV file that includes latitude and longitude values.

What this guide teaches

  • How to upload KML files to the Geoserver and Datastore so that they can be published as maps
  • How to copy styling from a similar dataset
  • How to fix simple error (zero error) encountered when uploading

Things to know beforehand

Currently (July 2021), SmartDublin requires a KML file to publish as a map (not currently a Shapefile).

  1. To generate a KML from an Excel or CSV file use one of the online converters, eg. CSV To KML Converter
  2. You will be asked to identify any name/description field(s) and the latitude/longitude columns by column number.
  3. Convert the file then download the resulting KML file and upload it to the dataset on SmartDublin where you have published the CSV file
