[ckan-dev] Spatial extent

Tue Aug 5 22:47:31 UTC 2014

Hi,

                I'm having trouble specifying the spatial extent for a dataset (around New Zealand in the southern hemisphere, hence -ve latitudes).

West bounding longitude             165.3214

East bounding longitude               179.3214

North bounding latitude               -34.7248

South bounding latitude               -46.7248

Which gives co-ordinates of a box at:

165.3214, -34.7248           179.3214, -34.7248

165.3214, -46.7248           179.3214, -46.7248

If I put in an extra field 'spatial' with value { "type": "Polygon","coordinates": [ [ [165.3214, -34.7248],[179.3214, -34.7248],[179.3214, -46.7248],[165.3214, -46.7248],[165.3214, -34.7248] ] ] }

I get an error.

The example I followed (in Italy) { "type": "Polygon","coordinates": [ [ [12.0384, 41.9723],[12.773, 42.1604],[12.6824, 41.8092], [12.2957, 41.7967], [12.0384, 41.9723] ] ] }

works fine.

Is there some trick to this e.g. the order of the co-ordinates?

Thanks

Aaron
