System for automatically maintaining a PostGIS database of OS Open Data
System for automatically maintaining a PostGIS database of OS Open Data
OS open data is great
The downside is that you have to manually download each dataset, upload to PostGIS and then set up default styles. It’s very time consuming. Ideally I would refresh all the data regularly but it’s such a big job that I don’t.
So the mission is to automate the whole system.
Download all data sets Upload / overwrite to PostGIS database Apply default styles
Optional extra: publish via mapserver for web apps
The solution …. I’m working on it.
The open data API should be able to handle the download
The upload would be some combination of GDAL and portion python
Applying the styles I have no idea
