Hello

Dear MnhnL Mdata User,

We want to continuously develop the Mdata service of the Natural History Museum Luxembourg and for this, we need your help. Please take a few minutes to tell us about yourself and how you use or would like to use Mdata or how we can improve it.

      Please wait...

  • Coordinate Modifier for Excel Files
    WGS84 (EPSG:4326) ⟷ GaussLux (EPSG:2169) ⟷ LUGRID

  • WGS84 ⟶ GaussLux: Convert existing latitude and longitude columns into the corresponding GaussLux columns.

    GaussLux ⟶ WGS84: Convert existing GaussLux columns into the corresponding latitude and longitude columns.

    LUGRID ⟶ WGS84 and GaussLux: Convert an existing LUGRID column into the corresponding latitude, longitude and GaussLux columns.

    Notes:

    • No named columns will be deleted and newly created columns will be added to the end. However columns without header might be overwritten.
    • Currently no support for formats other than .xlsx, and no support for documents with multiple sheets.
    • Files must contain 2 columns with coordinates in WGS84 (EPSG:4326) (labelled "lat", "long" or similar) or in GaussLux (EPSG:2169) (labelled "x", "y" or similar) or just one column containing LUGRID coordinates (labelled "lugrid").
    • WGS84 or GaussLux coordinates must not contain any characters other than numbers and optionally a decimal point
    • When transforming LUGRID into another system, the resulting coordinates are the ones of the lower leftmost point of the square. The size of the square is additionally indicated in the grid_size column.

  •   Please wait, this can take up to several minutes (approx. 1000 rows/second)

  • Upload inaturalist observations

  • Insert latest observations. The csv must contains observations from date on that correspond with the latest observations date in current cache. All observations in csv which are allready in cache are ignored.

    Upload up to the first 200000 observations from inaturalist csv export.
    Use this form to build the inaturalist cache from scratch.
