All -- I don't know if this has been highlighted before: Geonames The GeoNames geographical database is available for download free of charge under a creative commons attribution license. It contains over eight million geographical names and consists of 6.5 million unique features whereof 2.2 million populated places and 1.8 million alternate names. All features are categorized into one out of nine feature classes and further subcategorized into one out of 645 feature codes. (more statistics ...). The data is accessible free of charge through a number of webservices and a daily database export. GeoNames is already serving up to over 3 million web service requests per day. GeoNames is integrating geographical data such as names of places in various languages, elevation, population and others from various sources. All lat/long coordinates are in WGS84 (World Geodetic System 1984). Users may manually edit, correct and add new names using a user friendly wiki interface. Here is a good interview with the founder, Marc Wick: http://www.goodgearguide.com.au/index.php/id;664453065;fp;4;fpid;792452 I'm wondering if this might be a project we could use within gramps -- perhaps as an adjunct to Places and Addresses (though I hope that this two converge one day soon!) |

The place completion tool uses geonames data: http://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Place_completion_tool#Download_resources My experience two years ago with this was that the web interface was much to slow to use interactively. That is why the resource must be downloaded. That might have changed however.

Did you try the python library available at geonames.org? I don't know, but it might perform better that way.

I do not see a python library there, can you give direct link. Anyway, I did not find in python a way to ask a remote website, and then parse the returning website in order to scrape relevant data.

The idea would be to use GeoNames to find a place and its co-ordinates, but to then make a copy of these and store them in your own database. So it means the only "visit" to GeoNames is when entering data for the first time, but, in use, all detail is "local". It works quite well.

Thanks. Anybody want to ask if they want to dual license under the GPL? Present licenses (geoname.py and timeoutsocket.py) are not ok for inclusion and distribution in GRAMPS.

(I looked at > geoname_gnosis-1.0/geoname.py.) I looked again and saw it referenced. It is the standard Python license. The license is identical to the timeoutsocket.py license and many of the packages that GRAMPS currently uses (other than the names of the owners). So same question: what makes the standard Python license incompatible for GRAMPS? > As for timeoutsocket.py -- what makes it incompatible for GRAMPS? |

It isn't an issue of if the license is compatible with GRAMPS, but is the license compatible with the GPLv2. As far as I know, great pains were taken by both the GNU people and the Python people to make sure that the python license and the GNU license are compatible. This message, from the Python Benevolent Dictator for Life Guido van Rossum, indicates that since python 2.1.1, the licenses have been compatible. Previous versions were not. http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2001-June/015445.html So, the question is, under what version of the Python license is this code available?

(I looked at > geoname_gnosis-1.0/geoname.py.) well, that's the problem, if there is no license, it is his copyright , and you cannot reuse it. But as you say I missed the license string also. __license__ = "Python" That is GPL compliant, so I would guess no problem As to the other file, not really a problem (keep copyright and keep notice in documentation), but not GPL as used in GRAMPS. I don't know if it is advisable to mix licenses in a program. Benny As for timeoutsocket.py -- what makes it incompatible for GRAMPS? > |

If that is known is that the license is "Python", then we do not know about GPL compatibility. Some versions of the python license are gpl compatible, others are not. Clarification would be needed.
