Re: [HOT] Damage evaluation tagging schema

2015-01-22 Thread Markware Software Services
Hi Pierre

Actually, another issue needs to be addressed as well, what if an area
experiences two (or more) disasters, Ruby could well of passed over
Tacloban, now we would have two sets of data to manage. I recall you doing
something about that during the Ruby Activation.

Is it relevant that a building was subjected to damage from two events?

I guess the question is, how long should crisis related data persist and
what data should persist.

For example, if a building was initially mapped as a result of a HOT
activation, is that relevant information for future mappers? Historically,
is it relevant to know it entered the OSM database as a result of that
effort?

On possibility is to use the data for later assessment on the
rehabilitation work that was done??

Just some idle thoughts

Hi Pierre

Postgres Pattern Matching IS basically the same as Regex

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/functions-matching.html

It is more efficient to have the string you are searching for at the
beginning as an index can be utilized, but searching in the middle of a
string will trigger a sequential scan.

Some kind of Lucerne Indexing may offer an option, but I have never worked
with that on Postgres.

Re: [HOT] Damage evaluation tagging schema

2015-01-22 Thread Markware Software Services
Hi Pierre

An additional thought, the context of teh mapping activity is an important
piece of information to everyone using OSM now and for the future

If you add a tag like (tag name is just for example)

context = "HOT"
context:crisis = "haiyan"
context:crisis:detail = "destroyed: etc ..."

would result in three searchable and indexable database columns that would
allow all HOT activities to be easily identified and statistical analysis
done, and be able to pull all HOT related activities for a specific crisis

It would be very obvious where the data originated and under what basis the
data was entered into the database. That data should stay permanently as it
would be relevant to future mappers to assess that object, but would also
keep the information relevant to Hot outside the mainstream OSM activity.

It also allows you to tag existing structures without affecting any of the
mainstream OSM rendering.

Cheers
MArk

Hi Pierre, you should be asleep by now :) Hope the Snow is not too deep
either :)

I did not know about that the HOT Private Store. Is that rendered on the
OSm Layer or otherwise available? Would be interested in knowing a little
bit more about that.

Selecting objects in Sql is very dependent on the indexing. using + or <>
with an index is very efficient. Using Like "haiyan%" can be reasonably
fast if the data in the tag starts with the term you are searching for (eg:
"haiyan") (case conversion will have an impact depending on the size of the
string).

If your search term is in the middle of the key data, eg; "damaged: haiyan:
debris" it will be VERY slow as that will trigger a sequential scan

I have my own planetosm database, if the crisis is not a seperate tag, ie,
embedded within one tags data, I would set a trigger on the update that
extracted the crisis name, eg: haiyan, and stored it in an indexable
column. This is not particularly efficient, but I would have no choice as I
think it is very important to be able to extract data specific to a Crisis.

If you think about Overpass Queries, they would also not handle the data
embedded in the tag particularly well, I am sure they could do it, but it
would be subject to the same issue above.

One possible solution would be to use the Postgres HStore, which is
basically a text field. Postgres does have a unique ability to index data
withing the hstore, but I would not use this method on my production
database.

Osm does have these tags already defined, I am sure you are aware


   - building:condition
   <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:building:condition>=* *for the
   condition of the building*
   - ruins <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:ruins>=* - *for ruins of
   buildings*
   - abandoned <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:abandoned>=* - *for
   a building *


My thought would to NOT use these, as the fact that a building was tagged
as abandoned is relevant in assessing if you want to assess it in a
Humanitarian Crisis.

Re: [HOT] Damage evaluation tagging schema

2015-01-22 Thread Markware Software Services
Hi Pierre

Excellent Thoughts. Interestingly, I am working on a 3D rendering of
buildings project now, and was planning on extending this to HOT's work
when done with the commercial project.

Having everything in one tag "k=" as you propose helps the query and
rendering scenario a lot. The only downside from a database perspective
would be if you ever needed to query for data within the key data itself.
This would be very slow.

For Example:  if someone wanted to display all Haiyan related data the
query would be something like *WHERE k is Not Null and lower(k) LIKE
"haiyan%"* which would trigger a sequential Pattern Match Scan. *k* would
need to be indexed, which would help somewhat.

One option would be to consider a couple of specific tags to help any
searches on columns that can be indexed, like

*hot:damage*=type of damage string (as per your proposal)
*hot:crisis*=Haiyan

This would allow rapid extraction of all Haiyan related data using indexes
with a query like *WHERE hot:damage is not null and
lower(hot:crisis)="haiyan";*

Also, consider adding "hot:" to the tag as this makes it very clear where
the data source is.

Just some thoughts for you to consider


Also, Do you have a summary of what tagging schemes were actually used
during Haiyan, I seem to recall building=damaged, or building=yes, damage=*

Re: [HOT] Skybox for Good imagery

2014-11-25 Thread Markware Software Services
Hi all, if you need it, I have a Geoserver Instance not doing much at the
moment that could be used. geoserver loves geoTiffs. It is trivial to set
it up. Just a matter of dropping the Geotiff into a directory, configuring
a layer and its ready to go.

Its a 2TB 32Gb Ram Ubuntu Trusty Server with lots of bandwidth available.

Re: [HOT] Looking for maps of Lesotho

2014-04-10 Thread Markware Software Services
Dave, OK, we have some TPC Maps already done

Please go to http://disasternet.org and double click on the Show Maps Icon

Then Click on Menu -> Crisis -> TPC and check the area. These maps were
downloaded from University of Texas Library so they should e in the Public
Domain and Ok to Trace

If of value, I will make he layer available as a wms layer for you to use.
It wil take me a couple of days

In the mean time, if you dig any other maps up and can trim georeference
them for me, I will make them available as well, I will give you an ftp
account where you can upload them. We need them as a GeoTiff EPSG:4326
preferred, with internal overviews, but NOT JPEG Compression (other
compression is ok)

BTW, the first time you access these, it will take some time for the tile
cache to build, but after that, they should render reasonably quickly

Please let me know

regards

Mark
