This section explains the necessary commands. The following topics are covered: • Geocoding CLI Utility on page 5 • deploy Command on page 6 • extract Command on page 6 • configure Command on page 7 • setting Command on page 7 Syntax Conventions The following syntax conventions apply when using these CLI commands: Values containing a space must be enclosed with quotes, for example, "Some Value" Path slash marks must be escaped with quotes around it. For example: • A Windows path "C:\path", must be written as "C:\\path" or "C:/path" • A Linux /path must be written as "/path" Global Geocoding SDK 2.1 REST and Java API Developer Guide 4 Installation Geocoding CLI Utility Geocoding CLI utility is bundled with the Global Geocoding SDK (GGS) distribution. Starting CLI The cli folder contains the files as below. • lib: Contains java library for available utility commands. • resources: Contains GGS resources including GGS Javadocs • cli.cmd: Windows batch script to start Geocoding CLI shell. • cli.sh: Linux shell script to start Geocoding CLI shell. • Logging.properties Contains properties required for logging strategy. Note: cli.cmd is for Windows users. cli.sh is for UNIX/Linus users. Ensure that the cli.sh file has execute permission. chmod 755 cli.sh Now cli.sh shell script file is executable. cli.sh Execute this shell script to start geocoding CLI shell. $ ./cli.sh CLI Batch Process How to run the cli commands as a batch process: Linux platform ./cli.sh --cmdfile ./commands.cli Windows platform ./cli.cmd --cmdfile commands.cli Global Geocoding SDK 2.1 REST and Java API Developer Guide 5 Installation deploy Command The Global Geocoding SDK distribution is deployed by using CLI's deploy command. Use the deploy command to deploy the application to a Tomcat webapps directory, creating an application ROOT directory if necessary. This example uses "Geocode" as the directory. Format of this command: deploy --c "/ggs-dist-{version}/resources" --m "WAR_EXTRACTED" --d "/tomcat/webapps/Geocode" --l "/tomcat/logs" where the deploy parameters are: --c or --config Configuration resources directory.is included at root level of as a resources directory when extracted --m or --mode Deployment mode default: WAR WAR - will configure and copy .war to destination directory WAR_EXTRACTED - will configure and extract .war file to destination directory. Destination directory must be empty JAVA_API -will configure and copy the Java API to the destination directory (must be empty). The logDirectory path param (–l or --logDirectory) is not required. --d or --destination Destination directory where application will be configured, for example tomcat/webapps/Geocode --l or --logDirectory Logging directory is required for WAR and WAR_EXTRACTED file deployments where the application will create log files. Optional for JAVA_API. extract Command Reference data for geocoding, such as streets and points, and Interactive is bundled as .spd files, which must extracted and configured before it is available for use. Format of the extract command: extract --s "/location/to/spd/files" --d "/data" where --s is the location of the source .spd file and --d is the destination folder for the extracted data. Global Geocoding SDK 2.1 REST and Java API Developer Guide 6 Installation configure Command Once the geocoding reference data has been extracted, it must be configured for use. The configuration parameters go into a JsonDataConfig.json. This file is created when you run the configure command. Format of this command: configure --s "/data" --d "/ggs-dist-{version}/resources/config" where --s is the location of the extracted .spd file and --d is the destination folder for the generated JsonDataConfig.json. Note: If a REST Service is running, the web server must be restarted whenever JsonDataConfig.json is updated. To configure the data located on multiple paths, the format is: configure --s "/data,/data2" --d "/ggs-dist-{version}/resources/config" where "/data,/data2" are two folders of data. setting Command The setting command is used to change a setting in the GGS API. To modify settings using the CLI, follow this format: setting --n [Name of setting] --v [Value for setting] --d [Path to configuration dir] --t [Type of setting] To remove a particular setting, set --v to an empty string, e.g., --v "". To define a country setting, use the country ISO 3 code with --t [Type of setting]. Examples: # Global Settings setting --n MAXIMUM_BATCH_SIZE --v 100 --d "/path/to/config/dir" # or with type specified setting --n MAXIMUM_BATCH_SIZE --v 100 --d "/path/to/config/dir" --t GLOBAL # Country level settings (use iso3 country code for country level settings) Global Geocoding SDK 2.1 REST and Java API Developer Guide 7 Installation setting --n RETURN_EXTENDED_DATA --v no --d "/path/to/config/dir" --t USA # Core settings setting --n COUNTRY_FALLBACK_MODE --v BASIC --d "/path/to/config/dir" --t CORE_SETTINGS Manually Configuring Datasets If you have data that was not installed and configured using Geocoding CLI Utility on page 5, you can manually edit a .json file to include the path, properties and other information about your data. You can include as many countries and datasets as you want in the file. JsonDataConfig.json is located in the Global Geocoding SDK (GGS) installation directory under the /resources/config directory. There are two main sections to the file: roots and countries. • roots - may contain one or more key:value pairs that define locations where several countries are installed. "root1" key can be any name you wish. • countries - a list of configurations by country where each configuration is identified by its ISO-3 country code. Each country configuration can contain properties and a list of datasets. The keys in this section are not arbitrary. { "roots" : { "root1" : "C:\\mydata" }, "countries" : [ { "country" : "USA", "properties" : null, "dataSets" : [ ] }] } The example below has been edited to include several countries, one with multiple datasets for USA (CTP, TTS). In the case of CTP, notice useRoot is true. The path to the data then is root1 plus path (c:\\myserver\\mydata\\DVDCPoints). When useRoot is false, as in the case for TTS, the path to the dataset must be defined in the path element. The rootId would be ignored. { "roots": { "root1": "c:\\myserver\\mydata" }, "countries": [ { Global Geocoding SDK 2.1 REST and Java API Developer Guide 8 Installation "country": "USA", "properties": { "RETURN_EXTENDED_DATA": "yes", "DEBUG": "no", "GEOSTAN_INSTANCE_COUNT": "5", "APN_CODE": "true", "ELV_CODE": "true", "FILE_MEMORY_LIMIT": "2000" }, "dataSets": [ { "name": "CTP", "path": "/DVDCPoints", "rootId": "root1", "useRoot": true }, { "name": "TTS", "path": "c:\\myserver2\\mydata\\TTS", "rootId": "THIS_WILL_BE_IGNORED_SINCE_useRoot_IS_FALSE", "useRoot": false } ] }, { "country": "ABW", "properties": null, "dataSets": [ { "name": "NTS", "path": "/ABW/NTS", "rootId": "root1", "useRoot": true } ] }, { "country": "ARG", "properties": null, "dataSets": [ { "name": "NTS", "path": "/ARG/NTS", "rootId": "root1", "useRoot": true } ] }, ] } Global Geocoding SDK 2.1 REST and Java API Developer Guide 9 2 - Using the Global Geocoding SDK In this section Introduction to the Global Geocoding APIs 11 Using the Global Geocoding SDK Introduction to the Global Geocoding APIs The Global Geocoding SDK allows you to develop and deploy geocoding desktop, mobile or Web applications that are capable of delivering location information for over 120 countries. This guide contains information about using the REST and Java APIs which provide: • Geocode Service - The Geocode Service service performs forward geocoding using input addresses and returning location data and other information. Reverse Geocode Service - The Reverse Geocode Service service performs reverse geocoding using input coordinates and returns address information that is the best match for that point. Interactive Geocode Service - The Interactive Geocode Service service suggests addresses and place names as you type. Key Lookup Service - The Key Lookup Service service returns geocoded candidates when given a unique key. It is a more efficient method than matching with an address, as the key is unique to that address. Global Geocoding Module supports the pbKey™ unique identifier for US data and the G-NAF key for AUS data. Each service has options that allow you to control matching and geocoding criteria, dataset resource configuration and more.

  • Identifying Locations of Social Significance: Aggregating Social Media Content to Create a New Trust Model for Exploring Crowd Sourced Data and Information
    Identifying Locations of Social Significance: Aggregating Social Media Content to Create a New Trust Model for Exploring Crowd Sourced Data and Information Al Di Leonardo, Scott Fairgrieve Adam Gribble, Frank Prats, Wyatt Smith, Tracy Sweat, Abe Usher, Derek Woodley, and Jeffrey B. Cozzens The HumanGeo Group, LLC Arlington, Virginia, United States {al,scott,adam,frank,wyatt,tracy,abe,derek}@thehumangeo.com Abstract. Most Internet content is no longer produced directly by corporate organizations or governments. Instead, individuals produce voluminous amounts of informal content in the form of social media updates (micro blogs, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) and other artifacts of community communication on the Web. This grassroots production of information has led to an environment where the quantity of low-quality, non-vetted information dwarfs the amount of professionally produced content. This is especially true in the geospatial domain, where this information onslaught challenges Local and National Governments and Non- Governmental Organizations seeking to make sense of what is happening on the ground. This paper proposes a new model of trust for interpreting locational data without a clear pedigree or lineage. By applying principles of aggregation and inference, it is possible to identify locations of social significance and discover “facts” that are being asserted by crowd sourced information. Keywords: geospatial, social media, aggregation, trust, location. 1 Introduction Gathering geographical data on populations has always constituted an essential element of census taking, political campaigning, assisting in humanitarian disasters/relief, law enforcement, and even in post-conflict areas where grand strategy looks beyond the combat to managing future peace. Warrior philosophers have over the millennia praised indirect approaches to warfare as the most effective means of combat—where influence and information about enemies and their supporters trumps reliance on kinetic operations to achieve military objectives.

A reliable geocoding system that can effectively return any location on earth with sufficient accuracy is desired. This study is motivated by a need for a geocoding system to support university campus applications. To this end, the existing geocoding systems were examined. Address-based geocoding systems use address-matching method to retrieve geographic locations from postal addresses. They present limitations in locality coverage, input address standardization, and address database maintenance.

  • Geocoding and Buffering Addresses in Arcgis
    Spatial Structures in the Social Sciences Geocoding Geocoding and Buffering Addresses in ArcGIS INTRODUCTION Geocoding is the process of assigning location coordinates in a continuous, globlal reference system (Latitude and Longitude, for instance) to street addresses. While street addresses are an easy to understand way for us to make sense of locations in a local area there are many problems will using them for distinguishing locations in the world. Street addresses are generally considered location identifiers within a local reference system; furthermore, a street address system is often discrete, meaning it is only effective for positions that fall on the street network. For this reason the US street network has been digitized and coordinates (lat/long for instance) have been determined for the two points that specify individual line segments (smallest line segments possible). In addition to the global coordinates the street address range for each side of the street is also specified for that segment of the street network. Therefore, based on the known range of street addresses and lat/long coordinates a reasonable approximation can be made of the location of an address on a street in global coordinates. DATA and SHAPEFILES Geocodebuffer.zip can be downloaded from the S4 tutorials section of the training page (http://www.s4.brown.edu/S4/about.htm) It contains: 1) NOSchoolsaddrs.xls: Excel file of addresses of currently open schools in New Orleans 2) NOstreets.shp: a street file for all of Louisiana, the state in which you will be geocoding addresses. 3) Katrina_damage_all2.shp: a file displaying damage sustained across New Orleans from Katrina.

    Universal POST*CODE® DataBase page 1/9 Addressing Knowledge Centre General Addressing Issues 1 Which countries in the world have/do not have a postcode system? Nearly every country has a different addressing system. Most countries have a postcode system which indicates the delivery zone or office. When a letter is sent to a given country, it needs to be addressed correctly and with the postcode in the position required by that country. However, some countries do not have a postcode system or have one but do not use it. Here you can find two lists: a list of countries with a postcode system and a list of countries without a postcode system.

  • Census Bureau Public Geocoder
    1. What is Geocoding? Geocoding is an attempt to provide the geographic location (latitude, longitude) of an address by matching the address to an address range. The address ranges used in the geocoder are the same address ranges that can be found in the TIGER/Line Shapefiles which are derived from the Master Address File (MAF). The address ranges are potential address ranges, not actual address ranges. Potential ranges include the full range of possible structure numbers even though the actual structures might not exist. The majority of the address ranges we have are for residential areas. There are limited address ranges available in commercial areas. Our address ranges are regularly updated with the most current information we have available to us. The hypothetical graphic below may help customers understand the concept of geocoding and Census Geography (addresses displayed in this document are factitious and shown for example only.) If we look at Block 1001 in the example below the address range in red 101-199 is the range of numbers that overlap the actual individual house numbers associated with the blue circles (e.g. 103, 117, 135 and 151 Main St) on that side of the street (i.e. the Left side, note the arrow is pointing to the right on Main Street.) Based on this logic, the from address would be 101 and the to address would be 199 for this address range. Besides providing a user with the geographic location of an address the Census Geocoder can also provide all of the additional Census geographic information associated with a location, for example a Census Block, Tract, County, and State.

  • Geo-Process Lookup Management
    Geo-process lookup management Andreas Hägglund Civilingenjör, Datateknik 2017 Luleå tekniska universitet Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik Geo-process Lookup Management Andreas H¨agglund Lule˚aUniversity of Technology Dept. of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering Div. of Information and Communication Technology 14th November 2016 ABSTRACT This thesis presents a method to deploy and lookup applications and devices based on a geographical location. The proposed solution is a combination of two existing technolo- gies, where the first one is a geocode system to encode latitude and longitude coordinates, and the second one is a Distributed Hash Table (DHT) where values are stored and ac- cessed with a <key,value> pair. The purpose of this work is to be able to search a specific location for the closest device that solves the user needs, such as finding an Internet of Things (IoT) device. The thesis covers a method for searching by iterating key-value pairs in the DHT and expanding the area to find the devices further away. The search is performed using two main algorithm implementations LayerExpand and SpiralBox- Expand, to scan the area around where the user started the search. LayerExpand and SpiralBoxExpand are tested and evaluated in comparison to each other. The comparison results are presented in the form of plots where both of the functions are shown together. The function analysis results show how the size of the DHT, the number of users, and size of the search area affects the performance of the searches. iii PREFACE I would like to offer thanks to my supervisors. Johan Kristiansson at Ericsson research in Lule˚afor support in my work with the project at Ericsson, and also with giving great feedback on this thesis paper improving the paper.
