Data ingest

This project works with GeoJSON files generated by the NYPL Map Vectorizer. The specific files for the NYPL use case are found in the /public/files folder.

First ingest

After downloading, and running the proper rake db:migrate you need to do a base ingest of data using the included rake task.

####All sheet data ingest

rake data_import:ingest_bulk id=LAYERID force=true

This assumes the presence of public/files/config-ingest-LAYERID.json with a list of IDs and bounding boxes to import for the layer LAYERID. This erases all sheet/polygon/flag data for those IDs in the config file.

####Add bulk centroids

The original GeoJSON files do not have centroids (they were added and processed later). To create the centroids of the polygons in the database you need to run:

rake data_import:ingest_centroid_bulk id=LAYERID force=true

####Single sheet data ingest

rake data_import:ingest_geojson id=SOMEID layer_id=SOMELAYERID bbox=SOMEBOUNDINGBOX force=true

This imports polygons from a file public/files/SOMEID-traced.json into the database replacing any polygons (and its corresponding flags) that are associated to ID SOMEID.

NOTE: So far only layers 859 and 860 are provided. Layer 859 has separate GeoJSON for centroids and polygons. Layer 860 sheets have a single file with both fields. Ingesting 859 requires a separate data_import:ingest_centroid_bulk process for centroids.

API querying

The following API endpoints have been added to export the inspection consensus process (paginated by groups of 500). Consensus is defined by agreement of 75% or more of three or more votes:

Polygon export → /api/polygons/…

Active endpoints:

/api/polygons/:task/page/:page
/api/polygons/:task/:consensus/page/:page

Accept tasks: geometry, color, polygonfix, address with numeric paging (500 records per page).

consensus values depend on the task and perhaps only useful in the geometry and color tasks.

• /api/polygons/geometry/page/PAGENUMBER returns all polygons in PAGENUMBER regardless of their consensus value.
• /api/polygons/geometry/yes/page/PAGENUMBER returns all polygons in PAGENUMBER that have been marked as correct.
• /api/polygons/geometry/no/page/PAGENUMBER returns all polygons in PAGENUMBER that have been marked as not buildings.
• /api/polygons/geometry/fix/page/PAGENUMBER returns all polygons in PAGENUMBER that need to be fixed.

Version notes

• 2.0 Second release with address, polygonfix and color tasks. Refactored and improved code. New API endpoints.
• 1.1 Added API endpoints
• 1.0 First release with single geometry task
