Import Scripts for UN Country Boundaries

Download URL

From UN Geodata Simplified, the UN team got us the BNDA geojson that is checked into data/.

Overview

This script generates both the MCFs as well as the json caches used in the DC website.

Since Place geos have a single provenance and we want to use these boundaries only for UN SDG, we add them as a new geoJsonCoordinatesUN property (plus DPx suffixes).

The following countries in DC do not have boundaries:

• country/ANT
• country/ATB
• country/ATN
• country/CTE
• country/FXX
• country/IOT
• country/UMI
• country/WLF
• country/XKS
• country/YUG

Among those, the following ones have boundary from World Bank source:

• country/IOT
• country/UMI
• country/WLF

Scripts

Run the following script to generate Website cache and MCFs ready for import.

export DC_API_KEY=<dc_api_key>
./run.sh

Copy the contents of output/mcf over for manifesting.

Copy the contents of output/cache to the website repo.
