Hi All,

let me add the link of the city list which has been mentioned earlier in our meeting today:

United Nations - Department of Economic and Social Affairs - Population of capital cities and cities of 100,000 or more inhabitants (data from 2015) - List of 3,721 cities with more than 100,000 inhabitants: http://unstats.un.org/unsd/demographic/products/dyb/dyb2015/Table08.xls

Hello,

I'm sure there is a lot of big data resources available.  Below are a few datasets that I hope provide some insight into what is available.    

• GNIS (Geographic Names Information Systems) has a list of ~250k names along with a some features.  https://hifld-geoplatform.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/c19bfaccfc7c473d861dbbea1ce7aff0_0/data?orderBy=state_alpha&page=14

• Geonames is another resource http://www.geonames.org/

• The UN looks like they also have a geospatial resource http://un-ggim-europe.org/content/wg-a-core-data with a paper at http://un-ggim-europe.org/sites/default/files/UN-GGIM-Europe_WGA_Recommandation_Content-GN-v1.0.pdf

"This document aims to help decision makers (from governments, data producers, national coordination bodies, etc.) to define their policy regarding the improvement of existing data and production of new geospatial data. It addresses digital data".

Big data is also used to create a lot of mapping functionality as another resource i.e. Google maps.

If there is a list of some requirements/ideas that might be useful, I’m happy to help in finding a dataset and if needed, putting the data into a useable format so it can be reviewed to see it is fits our purposes.

Cheers,

Christa

I repeatedly see this claim made

   In the age of big data that should be simple. [Finding Cities geo names etc.]

Any facts to back this up?
