Re: [HOT] Satellite imagery interpretation examples - looking for suggestions
Some pictures on the Africa highways wiki page wouldn't hurt either. Quite often, a road can look too narrow to be classified as unclassified, so people put path on it. But that's in a lot of cases because the treetop makes it seem narrow, but at the bottom, it's wide enough for vehicles to pass. 2014-09-10 9:21 GMT+02:00 Nick Allen nick.allen...@gmail.com: Blake, I'm hoping you can come up with a way of sharing the screenshots on these subjects.

Re: [HOT] Training or Coaching Task / Project within TM? (Nick Allen)
Dear Nick, my name is Melanie, I am reserach assistant at the GIScience department of the Heidelberg University/ Germany. Our group is focused on research in the area of Volunteered Geographic Information. One of the subjects we are investigating at the moment is to find ways to improve the quality/ accuracy of remote mapping by volunteers. With this background, I was very happy to read your post in the mailing list, since your idea fits very well with our efforts. I could not agree more and would be very happy to contribute. I have been mapping for quite some time, conducted trainings with new mappers and have been working on new possibilities to facilitate the mapping process for beginners. I developed some training material for that purpose, showing the most important steps to be taken before mapping, common errors that occur during mapping and introducing some shortcuts. Working in Kathmandu with KathmanduLivingLabs, I also discovered the problems remote mappers got identifying unknown features in foreign countries. A problems that often leads to wrong tagging or digitization. On this account, the second part of the training material gives an overview of the most common features that can be found in the country that the mapping is conducted in (in this case Nepal) and the right tags that need to be used (Nepal taggging guidelines). I am actually testing the use of the material and already got good results and very positive feedback by the new mappers that used the training dossier. I am happy to share the material if you are interested and would love to find out more about your project idea.

[HOT] OSM humanitarian layer as an ArcGIS basemap?

Re: [HOT] OSM humanitarian layer as an ArcGIS basemap?
Don't know ArcGIS, but I'm pretty sure tiles above a certain zoom level are only rendered when they are needed (so that's where the lag comes from), and they are re-rendered when the data in that region changes (again depending on the zoom level and whether that tile has been queried or not). The tiles aren't refreshed at once (this would not be possible). 2014-09-10 17:25 GMT+02:00 Claire Halleux claire.hall...@hotosm.org: Hi All, In case anyone of you would be using OSM basemap in ArcGIS 10 and would know some details about it... people involved in mapping DRC Ebola emergency are currently looking for those informations: - is it possible to change the standard OSM layer to the humanitarian layer in ArcGIS and how? - what is the exact frequency of WMS refresh (think it's daily but not confirmed and when exactly)? - it often happens that the software doesn't properly load the tiles, displaying some tiles from different zoom levels, even with a good Internet connection (maybe the cache?), how to avoid this issue?

It should be possible to add a layer. I don't know ArcGIS, but you want
to add a TMS layer, and the URLs are something like
http://{switch:a,b,c}.tile.openstreetmap.fr/hot/{z}/{x}/{y}.png

The layer is not a WMS layer, but a TMS layer. Data is consumed
minutely, but it uses a standard tile cache/tile store setup where it
stores previously rendered tiles and re-renders them when updated. Thus
there is no guarantee of currency. In general, it will behave the same
as the Standard layer on OpenStreetMap.org

Re: [HOT] Satellite imagery interpretation examples - looking for suggestions
As the Mapbnox imagery doesn't seem good enough to illustrate the photos I collected, I stumbled upon this post by Pieren: The answer is 'no' for a mass use of Bing screenshots but I think there is some place for occasional and limited amount of images, especially when it is used to illustrate how to trace from their imagery into OSM. (ideally, the uploaded images in the wiki should be downgraded with JOSM lines, making the image reuse for other purposes impossible). http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=23405 Since I'm planning exactly that, i.e., composing new images containing a photo and a tagged satellite excerpt, and this for about two dozen pictures in the Wiki only, I have the strong hope this may go through with our legal team.

Re: [HOT] OSM humanitarian layer as an ArcGIS basemap?
If you're adding OSM to ArcGIS as a Basemap, it looks like those are
provided through ESRI's ArcGIS Online. They might consider adding more
options to those, but I doubt it'd be anytime soon.
Other options:
1) Adding the Humanitarian layer using ArcGIS Online. You can get the basic
idea here:
http://blogs.esri.com/esri/arcgis/2013/04/01/using-stamen-and-mapbox-tilesets-as-basemaps-in-arcgis-com/
2) There's an ArcGIS addon called ArcBruTile (
http://arcbrutile.codeplex.com/) which has a larger list of TMS services
to add, including all the standard OSM layers...except Humanitarian. :(
You can't seem to add services on your own, but they have added services on
request (added osm.fr by request in May)
Cheers,
Brad

These are 2-AMS NC-28-16 revised 1963 for anyone who is keeping track.
It was too big for the scanner so we had to scan it in two parts

[HOT] Small Red Cross task
Hi All, I'm currently in Nepal conducting a participatory assessment with the Nepal Red Cross. We're using OSM to collect participatory GIS data and have realized that the current base map is a little sparse on land uses, etc. that would help the community orient and locate key data. More details are up on the task below. We were hoping that the HOT community could help us out with the task at http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/643. It's a really small task and hopefully a nice break from some of the more intense tasks that have gone up for all the recent disasters. This is obviously lower priority than Ebola work etc., but I figured it might be a nice break for some and wanted to post it here. Any help over the coming days would be most appreciated!

through ESRI's ArcGIS Online. They might consider adding more options to those,
but I doubt it'd be anytime soon.
Other options:
1) Adding the Humanitarian layer using ArcGIS Online. You can get the basic
idea here:
http://blogs.esri.com/esri/arcgis/2013/04/01/using-stamen-and-mapbox-tilesets-as-basemaps-in-arcgis-com/
2) There's an ArcGIS addon called ArcBruTile (http://arcbrutile.codeplex.com/)
which has a larger list of TMS services to add, including all the standard OSM
layers...except Humanitarian. :( You can't seem to add services on your own,
but they have added services on request (added osm.frhttp://osm.fr by request
in May)
Cheers,
Brad

It should be possible to add a layer. I don't know ArcGIS, but you want to add
a TMS layer, and the URLs are something like
http://{switch:a,b,c}.tile.openstreetmap.fr/hot/{z}/{x}/{y}.pnghttp://tile.openstreetmap.fr/hot/%7Bz%7D/%7Bx%7D/%7By%7D.png
- what is the exact frequency of WMS refresh (think it's daily but not
confirmed and when exactly)?
The layer is not a WMS layer, but a TMS layer. Data is consumed minutely, but
it uses a standard tile cache/tile store setup where it stores previously
rendered tiles and re-renders them when updated. Thus there is no guarantee of
currency. In general, it will behave the same as the Standard layer on
OpenStreetMap.org
- it often happens that the software doesn't properly load the tiles,
displaying some tiles from different zoom levels, even with a good Internet
connection (maybe the cache?), how to avoid this issue?
I understand the server has been at 100% usage lately

Re: [HOT] Small Red Cross task
I should add that we will be collecting place names, building types and all the other local detail you'd expect as time allows and clean up whatever's left afterwards.

We're using OSM to collect participatory GIS data and have realized that the current base map is a little sparse on land uses, etc. that would help the community orient and locate key data. More details are up on the task below. We were hoping that the HOT community could help us out with the task at http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/643. It's a really small task and hopefully a nice break from some of the more intense tasks that have gone up for all the recent disasters. This is obviously lower priority than Ebola work etc., but I figured it might be a nice break for some and wanted to post it here. Any help over the coming days would be most appreciated!

Re: [HOT] OSM humanitarian layer as an ArcGIS basemap?
Hi Claire, I can add OSM layers in my arcgis online account. You'll need to have an arcgis online account and then login at maps.arcgis.com, then in your Arcgis home page, click on My Content, then click Create Map, then in the top left corner click Add, Add layer from Web, and choose A WMS OGC Web Service, then enter a valid WMS/Web map service OGC URL. There are a few free OSM WMS Servers. One is http://129.206.228.72/cached/osm? which is hosted by the folks at osm-wms.de m(Univ. of Hiedleberg). When you've entered http://129.206.228.72/cached/osm? click Add and you'll get a basic OSM base map (not the OSM Humanitarian layer) but a basic OSM base map. You should be able to find other free WMS OGC servers of OpenStreetMap base layers at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WMS If you're stuck, send me a private email message and I'll see if I can help some more. If you want the HOT style basemap, you'll need to request that the WMS providers add this basemap to their hosting service.

Re: [HOT] Visualizing OSM data with cartodb to aid HOTOSM validation
Martin, Thanks for that. I've added a very brief entry to this section of the wiki describing validating http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Tasking_Manager/Validating_data#Useful_Tools_for_validating Your blog post looks is very informative, but I'm not sure what else I should add to the wiki - I'm well out of my depth with what you are describing and doing, but what you have described and done could be extremely useful. Please feel free to expand on the very brief wiki entry. building=hut I've been tagging the round thatched buildings used as residences in many parts of the Ebola affected areas as 'building=hut'. Until your email I had assumed that building=hut was listed in the wiki's for the round buildings, but I've just had a quick check and it is not - I'll do a separate message to the mailing list on this subject. Thanks again for your work on this. Nick (Tallguy) On 06/09/14 11:37, spatialbits wrote: Hi all, as this is my first post on the list I'd like to introduce myself quickly.
