Formats

Representation of geographic coordinates

All geographic coordinates are stored in the WKT format.

In WKT, the pairs of coordinates are always written as x y.

Such tuples, potentially along with other tuples, are then wrapped by one of 18 geometric objects, e.g. POINT, MULTILINESTRING or MULTIPOLYGON.

The most basic example would be POINT(x y).

Accordingly, the order of latitude and longitude in those tuples is always long lat, as in POINT(long lat).

Authoritative data source

The single authoritative source for all data is in Source/json.

If you want to make any changes, please apply them in that folder only.

All other data files are generated from the files in that authoritative set.

Contributing

All contributions are welcome! If you wish to contribute, please create an issue first so that your feature, problem or question can be discussed.

    Interfaces for Developers

    I came across this project today while looking for something to contribute to. It's cool.

    Have you considered also developing libraries/SDks to enable developers to utilize this data in a quick, easy way?

    If you're open to contributions, I can build some PHP/Python/Javascript stuffs to work with this data. Jus a thought.

  • Missing airports

    Missing airports

    Great project :)

    Did a quick search in browser after opening airports.json and I believe a lot of airports are missing, International airports included. A quick search for Torp/Sandefjord and Rygge returned no results, both are considered major airports in Norway with international connections.

    What sources did you use for airports? There may be better sources, and if so, what do you think about how we can update the data in this repo.

  • Is OSM data used? Does this affect the licence?

    Is OSM data used? Does this affect the licence?

    Hello. I saw your project on Hacker News today. Congratulations and good luck!

    One question: In RESOURCES.md you list OpenStreetMap. Is OSM data included in this data? If so, then I think this will affect your copyright licence, since OSM is only available under the ODbL licence, and you wouldn't be able to release this under the Apache licence.

  • Choose new license

    Choose new license

    As the Apache License may not be the perfect choice for data, we should probably choose a new (better) license.

    What about the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license?

  • Authoritative data set

    Authoritative data set

    Right now, we have data sets in CSV, JSON and SQL.

    One of those should be the single authoritative data set where we make changes.

    The others will then be generated from the authoritative set.

  • Ports not complete?

    Ports not complete?

    I have a database of some 3700 ports worldwide (including those in areas not populated). They have a lot more information (you can see a template on portinfo.co). I would like to contribute, let me know if there's interest in expanding the ports information to include what I suspect is literally every port in the world.
