GeoBases, data services and visualization

There are embedded data sources in the project, but you can easily play with your own data in addition to the available ones. After data loading, you can:

- performs various types of queries ( find this key, or find keys with this property)

- fuzzy searches based on string distance ( find things roughly named like this)

- phonetic searches (find things sounding like this)

- geographical searches ( find things next to this place)

- get results on a map, or export it as csv data, or as a Python object

This is entirely written in Python. The core part is a Python package, but there is a command line tool as well! After installation, you can do things like this:

$ cat data.csv | GeoBase --map

$ GeoBase --base airports --fuzzy "san francisko" # typo here :)

We are currently gathering input from the community to define the next version features, so do not hesitate to open issues on the github page.
