Hello. I am trying convert shape files [1] of London (Canada) into JSON. I am totally new to these formats but at least I found out that ogr2ogr is able to do the job. However, there are two files that contain the data as far as I can tell. One file TREES.DBF contains all the properties. The other file trees.shp holds the main objects (trees in this case) with an identifier. I can convert each file into JSON with the following commands.
$ ogr2ogr -f GeoJSON -s_srs EPSG:26917 -t_srs EPSG:4326 trees_coordinates.json trees.shp $ ogr2ogr -f GeoJSON -s_srs EPSG:26917 TREES_properties.json TREES.DBF I am not sure what the other files are good for?! After the conversion, however, I end up with two files again. Is there a way to combine both datasets - so each tree object will be matched with its corresponding property information from the other file? Note: I am not totally sure about the source SRS. If you can teach me, how I can find out what the source SRS is from the files, I would very much appreciate that!
