I am developing a project to incorporate HOT/OSM data into an
application to plan for and manage food security emergencies in
developing countries. The HOT/OSM data is converted into a shapefile
using the HOT export tool ( http://export.hotosm.org/en/ ) to link to
other data in QGIS. To begin with I am using ground transportation
data and population cluster data from OSM. I would also like to
include information on impediments to mapping including cloud cover
and areas of low resolution imagery in BING to permit identification
of potential problems and permit some forward planning. I have looked
for tags or presets for identifying these impediments but have not
been able to find them. Can anyone help?
In OpenStreetMap we map features present in the world, which does not
include problems with a specific set of imagery such as where it changes
resolutions or where there are clouds, which is why presets do not exist
for this.
A tool like uMap (http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/) might work for
sharing this type of data, but it doesn't belong in the OpenStreetMap
database.
