Re: [HOT] uploading imagery to OpenAerialMap

[Nate Smith]

Dennis (and others interested) — 

Cool, that’s great. There is no public upload mechanism at the moment so this 
will be a manual process for the time being. Development of an uploader will be 
included in the oam-server work: https://github.com/hotosm/oam-server. 

In the meantime, we can upload some imagery manually. We should have a process 
if anyone is interested in prepping their data and we can try to help upload 
directly to S3. 

Here’s a proposed process for how we can we can move these conversations to 
Github where we can track. 

Process: 

    - Open a ticket on the OpenAerialMap repo, tag with `new data` label
    - Detail out what and where you currently have data stored
    - Include a contact email for the imagery 
    - If not public, make a public download available
    - Make sure we can identify acquistion date from the file name
    - We'll then coordinate downloading and putting on HOT’s S3 bucket

If you can open up a ticket, we can start tracking your imagery there and 
figure out a plan for getting it online.

Nate,

I'm interested in learning more about this process as well. I've been flying a 
property near me over the past year to monitor the progress. Right now the 
imagery is hosted here:

http://www.unmannedairlines.com/dev/caliterra_041415/

But I'd like to know how to contribute it to OAM. I have some other areas I'd 
like to contribute as well.

Thanks,
Dennis

[HOT] URGENT: recent OBF needed tomorrow

[Jorieke Vyncke]

Hello,

Is there somebody who can help me out quite fast?
Tomorrow we are doing a small mapping exercise with some people of the
ministry of rural development in Mali.

We are going to map in Tienfala (region Koulikoro) and I kind of
validated the base map of the village after other remote mappers did
the base map already. And now of course I would love to see this data
on my OsmAnd.

So is there somebody around who can create an OBF file (?) for osmand
for me with the most recent data of Tienfala? We are leaving tomorrow
around 8am UTC.

Dear Tony,

Thanks for your great suggestion. In fact, we're working on a video recap
of the first annual HOT Summit from April, and eventually would like to
have an "Intro to HOT" video. If you're interested in contributing in any
way, please do let me know.

[HOT] 2nd CFP: ISWC'15 workshop on Ontology Matching (OM-2015)

[Pavel]

Apologies for cross-postings
 
--
 2nd CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
--
  
   The Tenth International Workshop on 
ONTOLOGY MATCHING
   (OM-2015)
   http://om2015.ontologymatching.org/
October 11th or 12th, 2015, ISWC Workshop Program, 
Bethlehem, PA US
  
 
BRIEF DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES
Ontology matching is a key interoperability enabler for the Semantic Web, 
as well as a useful tactic in some classical data integration tasks 
dealing with the semantic heterogeneity problem. It takes the ontologies 
as input and determines as output an alignment, that is, a set of 
correspondences between the semantically related entities of those ontologies. 
These correspondences can be used for various tasks, such as ontology 
merging, data translation, query answering or navigation on the web of data. 
Thus, matching ontologies enables the knowledge and data expressed 
in the matched ontologies to interoperate. 
 
The workshop has three goals: 
1. 
To bring together leaders from academia, industry and user institutions 
to assess how academic advances are addressing real-world requirements. 
The workshop will strive to improve academic awareness of industrial 
and final user needs, and therefore direct research towards those needs. 
Simultaneously, the workshop will serve to inform industry and user 
representatives about existing research efforts that may meet their 
requirements. The workshop will also investigate how the ontology 
matching technology is going to evolve.

2. To conduct an extensive and rigorous evaluation of ontology matching
and instance matching (link discovery) approaches through 
the OAEI (Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative) 2015 campaign. 
Besides real-world specific matching tasks, involving e.g., 
large biomedical ontologies, OAEI-15 will introduce 
linked data benchmarks. Therefore, the ontology matching 
evaluation initiative itself will provide a solid ground for discussion 
of how well the current approaches are meeting business needs.

3. To examine new uses, similarities and differences from database 
schema matching, which has received decades of attention 
but is just beginning to transition to mainstream tools.

This year, in sync with the main conference, we encourage submissions 
specifically devoted to: (i) repeatable evaluations of the approaches proposed 
(not necessarily within OAEI) and (ii) application of ontology and 
instance matching technology in a specific domain and assessment 
of its usefulness to the final users.
 
 
TOPICS of interest include but are not limited to: 
Business and use cases for matching (e.g., big and open data);
Requirements to matching from specific domains (e.g., energy);
Application of matching techniques in real-world scenarios (e.g., with 
mobile apps);
Formal foundations and frameworks for matching;
Matching and big and/or linked data;
Instance matching, data interlinking and relations between them;
Large-scale and efficient matching techniques;
Matcher selection, combination and tuning;
User involvement (including both technical and organizational aspects);
Explanations in matching;
Social and collaborative matching;
Uncertainty in matching;
Reasoning with alignments; 
Alignment coherence and debugging;
Alignment management;
Matching for traditional applications (e.g., information integration);
Matching for emerging applications (e.g., search, web-services).


SUBMISSIONS
Contributions to the workshop can be made in terms of technical papers and 
posters/statements of interest addressing different issues of ontology matching 
as well as participating in the OAEI 2015 campaign. Technical papers should 
be not longer than 12 pages using the LNCS Style:
http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0
Posters/statements of interest should not exceed 2 pages and 
should be handled according to the guidelines for technical papers. 
All contributions should be prepared in PDF format and should be submitted 
through the workshop submission site at: 
 
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=om2015  
 
 
 
TENTATIVE DATES FOR TECHNICAL PAPERS AND POSTERS: 
July 15, 2015: Deadline for the submission of papers. 
August 5, 2015: Deadline for the notification of acceptance/rejection. 
August 19, 2015: Camera ready copy submission.
October 11th or 12th, 2015: OM-2015, Bethlehem, PA US.

Re: [HOT] Mapping South Kivu - micro tasking and the TM

[Pierre Béland]

Hi Pete,
For the coverage of South Kivu, if you compare with the work already done for 
the Kivu Activation Dec 2012, and later to fight cholera, you will see some 
duplications.  All the eastern part along the lakes was covered. For example, 
TM http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/1078 http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/793 
were largely covered if not all. The same around Uvira and Kalemie.

 Objet : [HOT] Mapping South Kivu - micro tasking and the TM
   
Hi all, I have some stuff to share and a request for some feedback.
Missing Maps has taken on the mapping of the province of South Kivu in DRCongo. 
This will be our first attempt at such a large AOI.
As part of many things we need to do to achieve this, we have been working on 
some intelligent tasking processes, which are being documented on the wiki [1]. 
Leading on all this are the DisasterMappers from Heidelberg University and they 
have developed the microtasking process we used to analyse satellite coverage 
of the area and have made a similar crowdsourcing task for identifying where 
roads and settlements are (to save mappers spending hours scrolling through 
jungle). 
The imagery analysis was very successful, but the second task is trickier and 
it is important we get it as effective as possible before promoting it widely. 
I wondered whether some of you would have time to test the tool and feed back, 
so we can optimise it.
It's all linked from the wiki page anyway, but the tool is here [2] and the 
feedback document is here [3].
If you have any questions or comments about any of this, including the wider 
Map South Kivu project, I'd love to hear them.
Thanks,
Pete

Re: [HOT] Mapping South Kivu - micro tasking and the TM

[Doris Hernandez]

Hello,

My name is Doris Hernandez and I am writing to  inquire about possible map
sources for a current project in Bangladesh. My company, DHInfrastructure,
is a multi-disciplinary consulting firm that advises on financial, economic
and regulatory aspects of energy tariffs and regulation.  We are currently
working on evaluating the potential for solar PVs on rooftops in the city
of Dhaka, Bangladesh. One of the initial steps in this research is finding
a mapping source that allows us to distinguish what building rooftops
are suitable for solar panels (so, excluding slums, buildings that
are experience shade during the day, etc.).

Is there any source on OpenStreetMap that you might point me to to  find a
map that may be in line with this solar PV on rooftops project? For
example, are there any maps that distinguish by levels of surface? or by
building heights?

I truly appreciate your help, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,
Doris

[HOT] uploading imagery to OpenAerialMap

[maning sambale]

Forgive me for not knowing how.
I tried looking at the website and github but, I can't find a way to
upload or share imagery.
We have a few drone/uav imagery taken during Typhoon Ruby/Hagupit and
we want it added to the OAM.

[HOT] Mapping South Kivu - micro tasking and the TM

[Pete Masters]

Hi all, I have some stuff to share and a request for some feedback.

Missing Maps has taken on the mapping of the province of South Kivu in
DRCongo. This will be our first attempt at such a large AOI.

As part of many things we need to do to achieve this, we have been working
on some intelligent tasking processes, which are being documented on the
wiki [1 ].

Leading on all this are the DisasterMappers from Heidelberg University and
they have developed the microtasking process we used to analyse satellite
coverage of the area and have made a similar crowdsourcing task for
identifying where roads and settlements are (to save mappers spending hours
scrolling through jungle).

The imagery analysis was very successful, but the second task is trickier
and it is important we get it as effective as possible before promoting it
widely. I wondered whether some of you would have time to test the tool and
feed back, so we can optimise it.

It's all linked from the wiki page anyway, but the tool is here [2
] and
the feedback document is here [3

].

If you have any questions or comments about any of this, including the
wider Map South Kivu project, I'd love to hear them.

Thanks,

Pete
