Data loading
The scripts in this directory are used to extract, transform and load (ETL) the core datasets for Colouring London:
- Building geometries, sourced from Ordnance Survey MasterMap (Topography Layer)
- Unique Property Reference Numbers (UPRNs), sourced from Ordnance Survey AddressBase
Prerequisites
Before running any of these scripts, you will need the OS data for your area of interest. AddressBase and MasterMap are available directly from Ordnance Survey.
The scripts should be run in the following order:
# extract both datasets
extract_addressbase.sh ./addressbase_dir
extract_mastermap.sh ./mastermap_dir
# filter mastermap ('building' polygons and any others referenced by addressbase)
filter_transform_mastermap_for_loading.sh ./addressbase_dir ./mastermap_dir
# load all building outlines
load_geometries.sh ./mastermap_dir
# index geometries (should be faster after loading)
psql < ../migrations/002.index-geometries.sql
# create a building record per outline
create_building_records.sh
# add UPRNs where they match
load_uprns.py ./addressbase_dir
# index building records
psql < ../migrations/002.index-buildings.sql
To help test the Colouring London application, get_test_polygons.py will attempt to save a
small (1.5km²) extract from OpenStreetMap to a format suitable for loading to the database.
In this case, run:
# download test data
get_test_polygons.py
# load all building outlines
load_geometries.sh ./test_data_dir
# index geometries (should be faster after loading)
psql < ../migrations/002.index-geometries.sql
# create a building record per outline
create_building_records.sh
# index building records
psql < ../migrations/002.index-buildings.sql
