Mapping to the Spatial7 taxonomy
Turning a source classification into the controlled Spatial7 taxonomy.
45 min
Map once, deliberately
The import wizard maps each source column to a master field, and remembers the mapping as a reusable profile. The work that matters is the classification mapping:
| Source value | Spatial7 class | Type | Subtype |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| RD - SEALED | Roads | Road Segment | Sealed carriageway |
| SW PIPE | Drainage | Pipe | Stormwater pipe |
Values that do not map
A source class with no counterpart is not guessed at. The record is registered against Other Assets, the original value is kept in source_asset_class, and the row is flagged for review. That gives you a list of decisions to make rather than a silent reinterpretation.
Site and facility identifiers
Site IDs must be identifiers already registered in Spatial7. An unregistered site is reported so it can be created deliberately, rather than inventing a new identifier on import.
