Of course, once you dig into the idea of an “average” city, the absurdity of the concept becomes clear. There are 343 cities in the US with populations of over 100,000 people, from 8.47 million in New York City to 100,128 in Sunrise, Florida (a small city in the Ft. Lauderdale, FL metro area). Within that set are global megacities like New York and LA, state capitols, college towns, towns growing explosively and those shrinking slowly. I’ve retrieved data about the restaurants in 340 of these cities using the Google Places API. This is a giant database of geographic information from across the world – not only does it include information about restaurants, but about parks, churches, museums and other points of interest. The API was designed to make it easy to search by proximity – “return all restaurants within 2km of this point” – but it’s recently gained an “aggregate” attribute, which allows you to ask questions like “How many Mexican restaurants are there in Wichita Falls, Texas?]]> food restaurants ethnic mapping https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:earth2marsh/b:ba5c5a167a61/ 2025-07-01T00:11:23+00:00 https://missionlocal.org/2025/06/explore-san-francisco-neighborhoods-in-data/ earth2marshmaps mapping demographics sanfrancisco neighborhoods https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:earth2marsh/b:01dab45b0ee5/ 2025-01-28T23:27:06+00:00 https://unstats.un.org/unsd/geoinfo/ungegn/wgGuidelines.html earth2marshAt the Third United Nations Conference on the Standardization of Geographical Names held in Athens in 1977, the gathering and dissemination of toponymic information were discussed. The great variation in approaches from country to country, led Josef Breu, elected as UNGEGN Chair in 1977, to initiate the compilation of Toponymic Guidelines, with a sample from Austria submitted to the Eighth Session of UNGEGN in 1979 (W.P. 5). Recommendations have been made, and updated, concerning the content of Toponymic Guidelines, and the subject is retained as an UNGEGN and Conference agenda item. Guidelines have been presented as technical documents, published in World Cartography, published by individual countries, or made available on websites. 40 countries have now issued Toponymic Guidelines, with a number of countries having developed several editions since 1979. Other countries are encouraged to make their material available for editors worldwide.]]> geography mapping names naming standards guidelines https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:earth2marsh/b:bcf6a1347104/ 2025-01-28T23:23:40+00:00 https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/gulf-of-america-gulf-of-mexico/124571/49 earth2marshname=* is defined as the primary name of the feature. For a feature in the natural environment, the primary name generally comes from either common or official usage (as opposed to a small placard someone found somewhere). The more well-known and widely known a natural feature, the more credence we typically give to common usage in case of conflict with official usage. According to the multilingual name tagging scheme 1, name:*=* subkeys conform to the IETF’s BCP 47 standard, so name:en=* is defined as the primary name in the English language. We’re inconsistent about whether this is the name in the local dialect of English or according to a consensus of English dialects. For example, name:en=United States 1 follows common American English, not the official name or the customary name in British English. On the other hand, name:en=Salt Lake City 1 differs from the local dialect, which calls the city simply “Salt Lake”. But in these cases, neither name is particularly controversial, and user comprehension doesn’t suffer greatly from the use of one or the other. BCP 47 also allows us to pair a language code with an ISO country code as shorthand for a “dialect”, so name:en-US=* would indicate the primary commonplace name in American English. Some languages like Chinese 2 and Portuguese 1 use country-qualified codes fairly frequently to accommodate different dialects. English doesn’t normally have so many naming differences that fall neatly along national dialectal lines. Usually our differences are about more practical matters, like what to call association football. In fact, American English is an umbrella term for the multitude of dialects of English spoken in the United States 2. Unfortunately, this dialect tagging scheme clashes with the Data Working Group’s officially documented approach for indicating a geopolitical naming dispute 1. For example, the Vietnamese government takes the position that the South China Sea should be called the “East Vietnamese Sea” in English, contrary to what the Chinese and Philippine governments would prefer. Conversely, the U.S. federal government accepts the Vietnamese government’s name for Ho Chi Minh City 2, but ordinary Vietnamese speakers in the U.S. refuse to call the city by this name 14 or let anyone else do so domestically. Few linguists recognize a “Vietnamese English” dialect or “American Vietnamese” dialect, but name:en-VN=* and name:vi-US=* can be understood as the names that would be commonplace in Vietnam when using English and in the U.S. when using Vietnamese, whatever the reason. These country-qualified names discourage edit wars and politically motivated vandalism that contradicts the project’s consensus about the on-the-ground rule. So far, since I’ve added name:vi-US=* to Ho Chi Minh City, no one has unilaterally changed name:vi=* to Sài Gòn. This seems to work better than just adding alt_name=* or old_name=*, because name:vi-US=* appears right below the name that some people find objectionable in an alphabetically sorted list of tags. It might help that some data consumers can show the usual name to Vietnamese speakers except to those in the U.S. 3, or that search engines that index one key will likely index the other with very similar behavior.]]> geography naming gulf politics controversy openstreetmap mapping https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:earth2marsh/b:0f189f0f59ab/ 2025-01-02T05:07:18+00:00 https://openaireats.com/ earth2marshLooking for restaurants, bars, and cafes with outdoor areas?
