Script and data for generating GeoJSON from Pleiades CSV data dumps. Tries to be close to what you get if you request JSON from Pleiades itself, but could probably be improved in this area. Pretty-prints for diff readability.
./pleiades-geojson.rb pleiades-places-latest.csv pleiades-names-latest.csv pleiades-locations-latest.csv
Will write out a .geojson file for each place id, in the geojson/ directory.
The script will also write out a name_index.json file, used for Pleiades Static Search.
