Open File 8892 and Open File 8902 PDF files hosted on this git repository probably need to be updated to the final versions found on GEOSCAN / https://publications.gc.ca/ ?

  • physical-exposure/data/nhsl_physical_exposure_OF8892.pdf:

    • does correctly say "Geological Survey of Canada, Open File 8892, 95 p. https://doi.org/10.4095/330012" in "Recommended citation"
    • but still contains "xx" placeholders:
      • "Permanent link: https://doi.org/10.4095/xxxxxxx"
      • "Open File XXXX"
      • © Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada, as represented by the Minister of Natural Resources, 20xx
  • physical-exposure/data/nhsl_physical_exposure_overview.pdf:

    • does correctly say "Geological Survey of Canada, Open File 8892, 95 p. https://doi.org/10.4095/330012" in "Recommended citation"
    • but still contains "xx" placeholders:
      • Title page says "OPEN FILE XXXX" in the upper-right corner
      • "Permanent link: https://doi.org/10.4095/xxxxxxx"
      • "Open File XXXX"
      • © Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada, as represented by the Minister of Natural Resources, 20xx
  • social-fabric/data/nhsl_social_fabric_OF8902.pdf:

    • PDF title CanSVM_Manuscript_LoRes.docx
    • No "8902" to be found anywhere
    • still contains "xx" placeholders:
      • "Permanent link: https://doi.org/10.4095/xxxxxxx"
      • "Open File XXXX"
      • © Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada, as represented by the Minister of Natural Resources, 20xx
  • social-fabric/data/nhsl_social_fabric_overview.pdf

    • does correctly say "Geological Survey of Canada, Open File 8902, 84 p. https://doi.org/10.4095/330295" in "Recommended citation"
    • but still contains "xx" placeholders:
      • "Permanent link: https://doi.org/10.4095/xxxxxxx"
      • "Open File XXXX"
      • © Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada, as represented by the Minister of Natural Resources, 20xx

The latest (final?) versions may be viewed directly in the web browser from:

or downloaded as ZIP from:

Caveat:

  • These "final" versions do not contain the beautiful picture title page...
  • The file sizes of these "final" PDF are quite a bit bigger.

Thanks!

The easiest solution may be to just remove those files or rename them as clearly draft versions. It's probably best to route people through Geoscan to access openfiles, and indeed they're already referenced in the readmes. But if we want them here, then yes I think we should just update to the final pdfs.

Hey Tiegan (@tieganh), thank you for looking into this!

I have been wondering where these files came from, though did have a vague memory of a conversation in our Slack workspace, and finally found the following conversation initiated by Murray (@mjourneay) in the #github-pages channel:

Hi there - I’m checking in to ask if it might be possible to include the summary and full technical reports for the Physical Exposure and Social Vulnerability models to the download page for Human Settlement Layers on GitHub? The reports are not accessible on OpenData portal, and can only be accessed through GeoScan by downloading the full datasets (~360Mb). It would be helpful to provide a direct link to both reports without having to download the data.

If so, I can pass along the final versions of the reports with the cover pages.
Thanks…

We can do that, shouldn't be a problem.

Murray Journeay [4:10 PM]
Awesome- thanks for your support. Here is a download link to the files:

  1. Physical Exposure (OF8892): [obsolete Dropbox link]
  2. Social Vulnerability (OF8902): [obsolete Dropbox link]

For each of the reports, there is a thumbnail image of the title page (if needed), a short ~10 page overview, and the full technical report for those who want to dig into the details. I have compressed the files to make them easier to download. It would be helpful if there was a separate link for the overview and full technical reports.

Please let me know if here is anything I can do assist at my end. It looks like you all are doing amazing work (as always) and I look forward to catching up when the opportunity rolls around.

Damon (@DamonU2) prepared the following pull request:

which include the summaries and full reports for OF 8892 and OF 8902.
Drew (@drotheram) approved it, and @DamonU2 merged it, all on the same day.

Thanks - much appreciated!!!


Indeed, these files that Murray provided are the final versions, as in the main text are identical to those found on GEOSCAN and Government of Canada Publications, with the addition of the beautiful cover pages, but with the "XXXX" Open File and DOI number placeholders partially updated.

Both of your suggestions are great, thank you! Let's discuss more in Slack. 😊
