I’m not an expert in GIS but recently I studied a bit, came on different sites. Among others QGIS, MangoMap, ArcGIS, … etc
A group of 6 small towns in Belgium wants to join efforts for bringing their graveyard online.
I’m wondering if the following procedure could be effective…
- Take a photograph with coordinates from the sites (with a drone instead of an airplane…?)
- Import the picture as a layer in AUTOCAD
- In another layer draw Lines/Polylines over the existing graves
- Add drawing for known future implantation of graves (not much)
- Export the AUTOCAD files to shape
- Upload the files to f.e. MangoMaps or another server
- Place one POINT per deceased person on the graves (unique identification)
- Make an Excel file with the same unique identifier per deceased person
- Connect the Excel file with the files in MangoMap (upload)
- Extra persons can easily be added in the file and re-uploaded
One town (mine) has a shapefile of the site. I can import this file in AUTOCAD and add the new graves. Some errors also have to be corrected. Can also be done in QGis but not sure what’s easier.
Towns who have no shape files don’t need them. Just:
- upload the picture
- put the number of POINTS (deceased persons) on the graves (can be several points on one grave)
- export the file as Excel (believe that’s possible)
- add the deceased persons in the EXCEL file at the correct unique identifier
- upload the Excel file
Could this be a good way to do it?
