Geoenrich online (beta)

A beta version of the GeoEnrich web app is available for basic uses. For more advanced uses, a self-hosted version is available as a docker image.

1. File format

Only DarwinCore archives and csv files are supported. The csv files must follow the following format requirements.

Warning

CSV separators must be commas. A common mistake (caused by a well-known proprietary spreadsheet software) is that separators in the csv files are semicolons instead of commas. If you’re having a mysterious error message when using geoenrich, please double-check this.

1.1. Species occurrences

The following columns are mandatory: a unique ID, an occurrence date, its latitude and longitude. They must be named respectively id, date, latitude and longitude. Here is an exemple of such a file:

1.2. Areas

A unique ID is mandatory, as well as the bounds of the areas that are requested. Columns must be named as in the following example:

Areas of interest

id	latitude_min	latitude_max	longitude_min	longitude_max	date_min	date_max
corsica	41.2	43.2	8.3	9.7	2015-06-01	2015-06-30
galapagos	-1.5	0.79	-91.9	-89	2022-03-18	2022-03-18

2. Restrictions

For more features, you may install geoenrich (python or R) onto your computer and this will enable the following features:

• Support for csv files with custom column names.

• Support for calculated variables (Eddy Kinetic Energy and derivatives).

• No maximum download size.

3. Setting up the self-hosted version

You may use GeoEnrich and its associated webapp locally by loading a Docker container.

To do this you can download docker-compose.yml and Dockerfile, and load the container the following way:

docker-compose up -d --build

You can then use geoenrich from the command line:

docker exec -it geoenrich python

Or launch the web app in a browser:

localhost:8080
