Transforming Data from Field Desktop for the Map of Miletus on iDAI.geoserver.
This repository exists purely for the purpose of transparency. It contains scripts that reformat the output of the Building Catalogue (Bauwerkskatalog) from the Miletus Database in Field Desktop.
The purpose is to transform information from the database and merge it with other spatial data. On the one hand, the building catalogue is used to produce a map guide for the Map of Miletus housed on the DAI GeoNode (iDAI.geoserver) (R/import_transform.R). On the other hand, the dating of buildings and walls is reformatted and merged with a vector dataset to make the visualization of all reconstructions and plans possible in the same map (R/duplicate_drawings.R).
Feel free to use this as a model for similar projects, though reformatting is tailored to the needs of the Miletus Excavation and will hardly fit other data models.
Required packages are idaifieldR (GitHub), tidyverse, rgdal, sf, utf8.
This repository was produced during our work for the Miletus Excavation in the course of the DFG/ANR-funded project "Life Forms in the Megapolis: Miletus in the Longue Durée" headed by Christof Berns and Julien Zurbach.
