Import and Interpret Skyscraper Data 

Make a map showing locations and images of the world's tallest buildings.

Here is a file with building data in tabular form.

In[1]:=

X FilePrint["ExampleData/Buildings.dat"]

Import the data, interpreting names of countries and cites to yield computable Entity objects.

In[2]:=

X importedBuildings = SemanticImport["ExampleData/Buildings.dat", Automatic, "NamedRows", HeaderLines -> 1]; Take[importedBuildings, 3]

Out[2]=

Interpret building names to get computable Entity objects, filtering out those that cannot be translated.

In[3]:=

X buildingsAndCities = Cases[ {Interpreter["Building"][#["Name"]], #["City"]} & /@ importedBuildings, {_Entity ..}]

Out[3]=

Select the buildings that have images and get their geographic coordinates.

In[4]:=

X imagesAndCoordinates = Cases[ {#[[1]]["Image"], #[[2]]["Coordinates"]} & /@ buildingsAndCities, {_Image, _GeoPosition}];

Place the building images on a world map by geographic coordinates.

In[5]:=

X GeoGraphics[ GeoMarker[#[[2]], #[[1]], "Scale" -> 20.0] & /@ imagesAndCoordinates, ImageSize -> 800, GeoCenter -> {0., -130}, GeoRangePadding -> Scaled[0.2]]

Out[5]=
