***** obtain source code:
|

|
|
svn co https://code.nceas.ucsb.edu/code/projects/bien/derived/biengeo/

***** install dependencies:
|
| 8 |
11347
|
psarando
|
The only dependencies for running these scripts are PostgreSQL 9.1, postgis 2.0,
|
| 9 |
|
|
and unzip.
|
| 10 |
11448
|
psarando
|
|
| 11 |
|
|
For postgis installation on Ubuntu 12.04 see:
|
| 12 |
|
|
http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/wiki/UsersWikiPostGIS20Ubuntu1204
|
| 13 |
|
|
|
| 14 |
|
|
Installing these packages on Ubuntu 13.04 should only require these commands:
|
| 15 |
11347
|
psarando
|
sudo apt-get install unzip
|
| 16 |
11448
|
psarando
|
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable
|
| 17 |
|
|
* Note additional install instructions for postgis-2.0 on Ubuntu 13 found here:
|
| 18 |
|
|
* http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/wiki/UsersWikiPostGIS20Ubuntu1304
|
| 19 |
|
|
* Currently, the ubuntugis-unstable sources list needs to change to 'quantal'.
|

|

sudo apt-get update

***** Notes on running the shell scripts:
|
| 25 |
|
|
Running any script with the -? or --help option will print a usage message with
|
| 26 |
|
|
all available options for that script, and then exit.
|
| 27 |
|
|
|
| 28 |
|
|
The following scripts accept database connection options, similar to psql.
|
| 29 |
|
|
For example: setup.sh -d dbname -h hostname -U username
|
| 30 |
|
|
The defaults passed to psql commands, if no options are given to the shell
|
| 31 |
|
|
scripts, are 'geoscrub' for dbname and 'bien' for username. The -h option is
|
| 32 |
|
|
not passed to psql commands by default.
|
| 33 |
|
|
|
| 34 |
|
|
The update_validation_data.sh scripts will only download fresh validation data
|
| 35 |
|
|
if the directories for GADM data (~/gadm_v2_shp by default) and geonames.org
|
| 36 |
|
|
data (~/geonames by default) do not already exist or do not contain that data.
|
| 37 |
|
|
|
| 38 |
|
|
The geoscrub scripts will only download fresh input data if the directory for
|
| 39 |
|
|
the input data (~/geoscrub_input by default) does not already exist or does not
|
| 40 |
|
|
contain the geoscrub-corpus.csv input file.
|

The bash and SQL statements contained in the files as ordered above
|
| 84 |
11444
|
aaronmk
|
should be applied to carry out geographic name scrubbing and
|
| 85 |
|
|
geovalidation on a given corpus of BIEN location records.
|
| 86 |
|
|
|
| 87 |
|
|
That said, given the tight deadline under which this was done in order
|
| 88 |
|
|
to produced a geovalidated BIEN3 corpus in advance of the Nov 2013
|
| 89 |
|
|
working group meeting, and the corresponding manner in which much of
|
| 90 |
|
|
this was actually executed piecemeal in an iterative and interactive
|
| 91 |
|
|
fashion within a bash shell and psql session, I can't guarantee that the
|
| 92 |
|
|
code in its current state could be run end-to-end without intervention.
|
| 93 |
|
|
It's close, but probably not bulletproof.
|

The resulting 'geoscrub' table is what contains the scrubbed (i.e.,
|
| 96 |
|
|
GADM2-matched) names and various geovalidation scores.

|
Notes/Caveats/Todos:
|
| 99 |
|
|
* Clearly the SQL statements used in this procedure suffer from a lot of
|
| 100 |
|
|
redundancy, and it might be worth trying to refactor once we're happy
|
| 101 |
|
|
with the particular approach taken.
|
| 102 |
|
|
* Need to pull out more known notes/caveats/todos and highlight them :)
