Template:GeocoordinatesMapping
{{GeocoordinatesMapping}} maps one or more template properties containing geo coordinate values to ontology properties. It can combine several values (containing e.g. degree, minute and second) to one coordinate.
Usage
{{GeocoordinatesMapping
| coordinates =
| ontologyProperty =
}}
{{GeocoordinatesMapping
| latitude =
| longitude =
| ontologyProperty =
}}
{{GeocoordinatesMapping
| latitudeDirection =
| latitudeDegrees =
| latitudeMinutes =
| latitudeSeconds =
| longitudeDirection =
| longitudeDegrees =
| longitudeMinutes =
| longitudeSeconds =
| ontologyProperty =
}}
Meanings
- ontologyProperty: where to put the converted result, by default "coordinates"
Use one set of these properties:
- all coordinates in one template property:
coordinates
- decimal coordinates in two properties:
latitude, longitude:
- coordinates broken into direction and 3 numbers:
latitudeDirection, latitudeDegrees, latitudeMinutes, latitudeSeconds, longitudeDirection longitudeDegrees, longitudeMinutes, longitudeSeconds
Example
Geo coordinates are often distributed to four or six properties: for latitude and longitude and the corresponding degree, minute, second, south/north, east/west. Eg in template Infobox Settlement:
{{ Infobox settlement
|lat_deg = 39 |lat_min = 52 |lat_dir = N
|long_deg = 32 |long_min = 52 |long_dir = E
...
}}
The DBpedia parser GeocoordinatesMapping generates correct latitude and longitude values from these 6 elements:
{{TemplateMapping
| mapToClass = Settlement
| mappings =
{{GeocoordinatesMapping
| latitudeDirection = lat_dir | latitudeDegrees = lat_deg | latitudeMinutes = lat_min | latitudeSeconds = lat_sec
| longitudeDirection = long_dir | longitudeDegrees = long_deg | longitudeMinutes = long_min | longitudeSeconds = long_sec }}
}}
Other place templates include coordinates for several points, so you use several instances of GeocoordinatesMapping. E.g. for Mapping en:Geobox (by default ontologyProperty is "coordinates", which means the place overall):
{{GeocoordinatesMapping
| latitudeDegrees = lat_d | latitudeMinutes = lat_m | latitudeSeconds = lat_s | latitudeDirection = lat_NS
| longitudeDegrees = long_d | longitudeMinutes = long_m | longitudeSeconds = long_s | longitudeDirection = long_EW }}
{{GeocoordinatesMapping | ontologyProperty = highestPosition
| latitudeDegrees = highest_lat_d | latitudeMinutes = highest_lat_m | latitudeSeconds = highest_lat_s | latitudeDirection = highest_lat_NS
| longitudeDegrees = highest_long_d | longitudeMinutes = highest_long_m | longitudeSeconds = highest_long_s | longitudeDirection = highest_long_EW }}
