The original source CSV files are included in this repo un-modified.

VRT configuration files to allow ogr2ogr to convert to SQLite are also included in this repository

• Building Accessibility location map
• Melbourne Bike Share Locations Map
• Melbourne's Urban Forest Map

Requirements

The build environment assumes a Windows operating system.

For preparing and building the data package:

• GDAL/OGR 1.11 (you can grab windows binaries here)
• 7-zip

Supported versions of MapGuide:

• MapGuide Open Source 2.6 (this dataset should also work on 2.5 and 2.4 releases)

Building

1. Ensure GDAL/OGR binaries and the 7z command-line executable are in the PATH environment variable
2. Clone this repository
3. Run build.bat to build the MapGuide data package from the source data files

How this dataset is constructed/updated

1. All the SHP files are loaded into MapGuide via MapGuide Maestro
2. All the CSV files are converted into SQLite via ogr2ogr. The converted SQLite files are loaded into MapGuide via Maestro.
3. Maestro was used to author up all the various layers, styles, maps, symbols and application configurations.
4. The resulting set of resources was then packaged up into a MGP file via the MapGuide Site Administrator.
5. The contents of this MGP package has been extracted into the Package subdirectory of this repo (so our XML-based resources can be version controlled).
6. Package assembly can now be done outside of MapGuide by copying the relevant source SHP files and converting the relevant source CSV files with ogr2ogr. A new package file can be created by creating a new zip archive of the Package subdirectory and renaming the .zip extension to .mgp
