An overview of the RAMM Download Series
Today sees the launch of a new set of posts on the TalkData blog; The RAMM Download Series. This is a *living post* that will be updated over time as new entries are made in the series.
RAMM hosts a significant volume of asset information for different road controlling authorities around New Zealand, Australia and Fiji.
The good news is that this data is not just locked away in a black box. Assuming you have the permissions to one or more of these RAMM databases, RAMM is actually quite an 'open' system.
The software offer its users many ways to get their data out of RAMM. This is important for getting data into other tools used in analysis and decision making workflows.
Spreadsheets are probably the most common end point for downloaded RAMM data (anecdotally speaking). But there are plenty of other options too, from GIS to custom systems via API integration.
This series of posts will look at different ways of downloading your data from RAMM. We will primarily focus on some of the more common and accessible methods for getting this done.
