New XML Data

[ltc.h...@gmail.com]

Hi Everyone:

Our python group has an interest in the modification of a Python topographic engine (Mappa) to accept a custom built XML schema.

 Questions:

1. How do we modify the XML Schema found in Mappa to accept a custom built schema?
2. How do we use Python to analyze the source data?

Source Data:

The URL link to our github account is available at URL link https://github.com/ltc-hotspot/

How to analyze data in Python is available at URL link http://dev.socrata.com/consumers/examples/data-visualization-with-python.html

The attached file contains the XML meta data file.

Hi,

Mappa is used for Topic Maps (see <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topic_Maps>) not
for topography.

If you're interested in converting your topographical data into topic maps,
I'll recommend XSLT, see <https://github.com/heuer/tmxsl> for examples to
convert non-topic map sources into topic maps.

Another option: Read your XML source and use the Mappas API to convert the data,
but I'd recommend XSLT.

Best regards,
Lars

FYI, Robert Barta did some experiments to convert Topic Maps
into topographic data:
