CSVDump
CSVDump.py is a Python script that converts a CSV file downloaded from ODK Central to OpenStreetMap (OSM) XML format. The tool can be useful for users who want to work with OpenStreetMap data and want to convert ODK Central data into a compatible format.
options:
-h, --help - show this help message and exit
-v, --verbose - verbose output
-i CSVFILE, --infile CSVFILE - Specifies the path and filename of the input CSV file downloaded from ODK Central. This option is required for the program to run.
To convert a CSV file named "survey_data.csv" located in the current working directory, the following command can be used:
[path]/CSVDump.py -i survey_data.csv
To enable verbose output during the conversion process, the following command can be used:
[path]/CSVDump.py -i survey_data.csv -v
CSVDump.py expects an input file in CSV format downloaded from ODK Central. The CSV file should have a header row with column names that correspond to the survey questions. Each row in the CSV file should contain a response to the survey questions, with each column representing a different question.
The output of CSVDump.py is an OSM XML file that can be used with OpenStreetMap data tools and services. The converted OSM XML file will have tags for each survey question in the CSV file, as well as any metadata associated with the survey. The format of the OSM XML file generated by CSVDump.py is compatible with other OpenStreetMap data tools and services.
- CSVDump.py only supports CSV files downloaded from ODK Central. Other CSV files may not be compatible with the tool.
- The tool only supports simple data types such as strings, numbers, and dates. Complex data types such as arrays and nested structures are not supported.
