SOPs

System SOP(s) for Programme Teams

a. Input formats supported:

- Pre-defined Excel template

- Geosjon (pre-defined schema)

- Shapefile

b. Configure data starting from admin 0

c. A naming convention needs to be followed for data upload (training to be provided)

d. 1 file per boundary to be uploaded

- 1 file for all admin 0

- 1 file for admin 1

The GeoJSON file should meet the RFC 7946 GeoJSON specification
The top-level element should be of type “FeatureCollection”
All the Features within the FeatureCollection should have geometries of the same type (i.e. All should be points, or all should be MultiPolygons, and so on).
The coordinates should be in the valid range of Latitude & Longitude. (Valid range for Latitude is -90 to +90; Valid range of Longitude is -180 to +180)
If the third coordinate (i.e. the height value) is present, then it will be ignored.
All the features should have properties with the same set of keys.
In the Properties object, the values for fields that represent a Numeric Value, should not be quoted with double quotes, (i.e. population of 10,000 should be represented as “population” : 10000 and not “population” : “10,0000”

A shapefile consists of multiple files with the same name and different extensions. Mandatory ones are .shp, .shx & .dbf. You could also have .prj, .sbx & .sbn.
The shapefile should be in the WGS 84 lat-long coordinate system. (i.e. EPSG:4326). If the .prj file is missing, then the data is assumed to be in the WGS 84 lat-long coordinate system.
Data in any other coordinate system, even if indicated so in the .prj file will not be considered valid.
The coordinates should be in the valid range of Latitude & Longitude. (Valid range for Latitude is -90 to +90; Valid range for Longitude is -180 to +180).
Field Names are limited to 10 Characters as per the Shapefile Specification.
The Various fields in the attribute table should have the appropriate data types. (i.e. Numeric Values should be in fields of the type Short Integer, Long Integer, Float, or Double)
The User should zip up all the files in Zip format, and upload them into the system. At a minimum, the system needs .shp, .shx & .dbf files
The total size of all files together should not exceed 2GB

The Latitude & Longitude fields should have data in Degree Decimal and Degree Minute Seconds ( Value should be 12.3455 & not 12° 20' 43.7994")
Any leading & trailing whitespace characters (Spaces, Tabs, Carriage Return, new line etc) will be stripped out from all fields
