NOT SO MUCH DIVERSITY IN IT

The project arises around International Women's Day 2018
It is intended to make survey information about passages, streets, avenues, roads that are named after a woman also linking it to Wikipedia to check if there is a biography written about her

@geochicasOSM

Script based on NODE
TILE REDUCE library from OSM to create the GEOjson
Local name databases from the Spanish National Institute of Statistics instead of external APIs like Genderize
Wikidata query to extract 68,445 articles about women

@geochicasOSM

Selection of cities we knew and wanted to work with using Planet OSM
Filter only the streets of the map
Cross-reference from the Spanish names database with the OpenStreetMap database with an 8% margin of error
Filter streets by male or female name
Manually cleaning any errors (streets named after flowers) and add the Wikipedia sources
Generate the last clean data base linked to OpenStreetMap to create the Geojson file (tags and geometries) and the stats file.
Upload the three resultant files to our Github
