The first introduction video is online.

Here is the second video on processing shapefiles.

Next one is done: geospatial spreadsheets. Going to take a break now and I'll continue later with the other ones.

Another one was added: city boundaries.

Hi !
I wanted to start processing some files but when I try I have this message "You need to have obtained a "Data Processor" badge in order to start working on this file."
What should I do ?

Thanks a lot !

Hi Nicole,

Good point! I forgot about that. I've now manually assigned you this badge. Can you try again?

Yes! Now it works. Thank you :-)

I have set up a dedicated video collection for all videos here. Three more videos will be added next week: processing population data, material flows data, and material stocks data. Stay tuned!

Hi Nicole, I have now set up a new system for processing shapefiles of different types (e.g. those with one single entity in them). You can see the video here.

Hi Paul,
This video solved a problem that I had: For the Metro Vancouver regional district there is the "Electoral Area A" that is made up of 4 little separate areas. I reprocessed the file and used "group by name", so that I have now the proper 23 municipal bodies instead of the 26 that were previously shown, because the Electoral Area A was split up and seen as separate spaces for each instance.

Good thing I didn't link any data to it yet!
Thanks for the video and setting up this new system! 👍

Great Carolin! Yeah through the course and Nicole's work we have seen a number of shapefiles that were simply different than the regular "each item is a space" format. Good to hear it also solved an issue for you! Let's see how this new structure works for all shapefiles!
