Re: [HOT] HOT OSM Export Tool: valid export region?
Tyler, Mhairi – marvellous, many thanks for the quick follow-up. Soren - many thanks, too. About Geofabrik: it provides a great service; the limitation in this case is that includes only the 'name' tag, and not the various different language tags of place names (as a totally random example, see the tags at http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/286653976).

[HOT] Layer to indicate areas that are considered as 'complete' in tasking manager?
Hi all - I'm wondering if there's a representation available of areas that have been marked as 'done' in the HOT tasking manager? What I have in mind is tag/layer showing each tasking square along with its completion date (as an indication of currency). The case in point is work on Sierra Leone: it would be great to know where (for example) coverage of buildings can be considered complete, as an indicator of population density. This way, we could distinguish no buildings from no data, and similarly, no roads from no data. Apologies if there's already an obvious answer that I've missed.

Re: [HOT] Fwd: Re: Validating TM2 - a send message button?
Going back to Nick’s call for comments from novice HOT mappers: I’d certainly vote for the idea feedback from a validators; email would be the most straightforward default channel; and it could be optional on the part of the mapper. I can also take this chance to thank Nick for all his help at recent Missing Maps events in London. Best wishes – Nick McW.

Pierre, A help channel or some form social help channel would be good, but in order to ask for help, the mapper needs to realise they are doing something wrong, or don't know how to do something. The new mappers in this thread are consistently asking for someone to check their work, and provide feedback so they know what to do to improve. The validation process is good for this as well as quality control - but it would be nice if we made it easier for the new mapper to receive the comments, and if needed for the validator to pass them. I don't know if it is easily achievable, but perhaps a system where the validators comments are more easily available to the mapper, unless they opt to not receive them. I know that MSF BRC were keen to offer help, and I know that the few mappers that have replied to this thread are asking for this feedback. It would be good if more mappers replied, especially if they are new, so we have an idea as to whether it is worth investigating further.

[HOT] PHL: making use of building damage data
Hi Andrew and all - First to say what an amazing resource the OSM data over the typhoon affected parts of the Philippines is proving to be for our field team in Tacloban. This is just a question about how we can make best use of the tremendous quantity of building damage data that is being captured. We're mainly using Shapefile downloads, via HOT Exports and Geofabrik. For the 'building' polygons I see various possible values: NULL, church, collapsed, construction, damaged, dormitory, house, industrial, no, office, public, residential, school, terrace, university, yes. So, some specific questions: 1. Having referred to the OSM Damaged buildings crisis mapping http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Damaged_buildings_crisis_mapping page, I'm not sure I'm making the best use of the data that's there, e.g. how to access typhoon:reviewed and typhoon:damage ? Would we be better not using shapefile downloads but another format that preserves more of the source data structure? 2. Perhaps it's just the way that the shapefile attributes are derived from the source OSM data, but how could we separate the building type (house, office etc) from the damage status? 3. Finally (and apologies for touching on what I expect is a long-running question), how are such data time-stamped? I'm thinking for example of buildings that were already tagged as damaged pre-typhoon, or that become repaired. Any thoughts much appreciated, very many thanks - Nick. -Original Message- From: Andrew Buck [mailto:] Sent: 11 November 2013 01:28 To: hot@openstreetmap.org Subject: Re: [HOT] Tagging scheme for damaged buildings -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 The damage assessment can be done very easily in josm. I expect it will only take 3 or 4 people a few hours to assess the damage on all the the ~30,000 buildings in Tacloban. Since we have already traced all the buildings from Bing, we can just select them in groups and mark them damaged/destroyed/etc. With filters in josm this goes very quickly. - -AndrewBuck On 11/10/2013 03:34 PM, William Morris wrote: Would it be useful to partners on the ground if we set up a Maproulette-type thing to quickly compare post-storm imagery to the pre-storm structures we've mapped? It might go faster that way, and it seems to draw lots of participation. One downside is that it might be tough to guarantee the needed horizontal accuracy to match a building with a particular pile of rubble. -Bill Morris ___ HOT mailing list HOT@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot
