→ GBIF Geocoder: using GBIF to find places on a map
https://iphylo.blogspot.com/2026/02/gbif-geocoder-using-gbif-to-find-places.html

“The idea behind the "GBIF Geocoder" is that GBIF has a huge number of geocoded specimens, and hence if you are looking for coordinates for a locality there is a good chance that somebody has already found them. So, all we need to do is search GBIF for specimens with localities that match the place you are trying to geocode.”

En Afrique du Sud, des « adresses numériques » pour cartographier les bidonvilles

Lawley Station, à 40 km au sud de #Johannesburg. Sur ce plateau aride, des milliers de cabanes de tôle forment une masse compacte, dans laquelle serpente un dédale de ruelles de terre battue. Ce jour-là, elles sont investies par des jeunes du quartier revêtus de tenues jaune fluorescent. Par petits groupes, ils s’affairent à mesurer l’écart entre chaque portail donnant sur un groupement de cabanes. (...)
« Ici c’est un lieu de culte. On essaie d’être le plus spécifique possible pour que les gens puissent se repérer. » Elle fait partie de la trentaine de volontaires recrutée par l’#ONG #Planact pour cartographier le quartier et attribuer une adresse à chaque propriété.
Planact, qui lutte depuis 1985 contre l'exclusion des populations vulnérables, a lancé ce programme d'adresses numériques avec le soutien de #Google. Le moteur de recherche fournit la plateforme permettant de recenser les habitations et de leur attribuer un « Plus code », soit des coordonnées géographiques simplifiées en une combinaison simple, utilisable sur Google Maps. Une plaque bleue indiquant le Plus code est ensuite apposée sur les habitations.
