Load entities from Shapefile

Some entities are available from shapefile sources. These sources are usually set up in a multi files structure with :

• Shapefile (.shp) : the geometries of the entities
• Index (.shx) : index of the shapefile
• Projection (.prj) : the information of the projection used by the geometries
• Database (.dbf) : metadata about the entities
• Encoding (.cpg) : identifying the character set to be used

In this tutorial you will learn how to set-up a data acquisition pipeline to acquire and normalize entities provided as shapefiles.
