Geocoding Inventor Locations (view source)
Revision as of 19:41, 11 November 2009
, 19:41, 11 November 2009→Reference Data
The reference data for the locations (which provides the longitude and latitudes) is taken from the (U.S.) National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency's [[GEOnet Names Server | GEOnet Names Server (GNS)]] which covers the world excluding the U.S. and Antartica.
This project uses [[ISO3166]] two-character country codes to name source and reference files. GNS does not use ISO3166 country codes, and so users will need to translate accordingly (see the [[GEOnet Names Server | GNS page]] for details). Example reference data files for countries that have being been processed include:
*Australia: [http://www.edegan.com/repository/GNS-AU.txt GNS-AU.txt]
*Belgium: [http://www.edegan.com/repository/GNS-BE.txt GNS-BE.txt]
