Don't forget to use the source tag for proper attribution. See :

Shouldn't the attribution=* tag be used for attribution, and source just

There are cemeteries in the haiti-tlm-50 map WMS layer (see wiki).

Re: [CrisisMappers] Search interface on the Person Finder data 
OK, so this requires two things, right?  Solid underlying data to geocode to, 
and a solid geocoder.  I think the latter might be a little easier to come by 
than the data.  In talking to folks who've lived there, it sounds like 
addresses were doled out loosely, if at all?  I can redirect some of my crew to 
help with this if someone can tell me a bit more how addresses work in Haiti 
(my gang spends a lot of time segmenting and assigning addresses to segments 
here in MS for 911 use).
 
This lends itself to another kinda related thought (sorry for my musings here) 
- there seems to be an emerging need for the same features in multiple 
geometries of like types.  Eg., we would want intersection to intersection 
segments for routing or perhaps geocoding, but long unsegmented sections for 
linear referencing purposes where addresses might not exist and local knowledge 
edges in (eg., go this far when you see the barn - y'all know - MS style 
directions).  I know there are dozens of data models and ways to handle this, 
but as OSM has become my epiphany this last week or two, I'm wondering if 
there's a way to start thinking of this sort of thing within that framework?
 
Sorry for the long musing - should probably have been in bed hours ago...

Talbot, 
Currently we treat addresses simply as keywords and allow search on 
them.  We would like to do location-based "fuzzy" search, but noticed 
that most addresses are very inaccurate.  If people can provide a good 
geocoder for these addresses, we can show the information on a map. 
Any suggestion or geocoder helper?

P-Codes are an established way for responding agencies to uniquely
identify locations. A set of P-codes have been set for Haiti, and are
listed in the attached spreadsheet. If we can associate these P-codes
with existing nodes in OSM via a tag, would be a great help for
coordinators.

 
Download: http://brainoff.com/osm/Haiti_pcodes consolidated.xls

I added a clickable version of the table to

(Talk: page because someone modified the table since I started working on it.)
A click calls Nominatim for the street name in question and hopefully

Rafa,

There is an open shared spreadsheet at :

There is also a wiki page at :

where I propose OSM tags, and explain how I worked on the spreadsheet.

Please feel free to expand and improve. It's an open wiki, anyone can 
contribute (and it shows up quickly on maps).


Best Regards,

Dear all,

In the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission we are 
following also the hospitals situation.


Pleas find attached a KMZ file with the information we have compiled

have identified some of them as "operative" (in green), some others as 
"damaged but operative" (in orange), some "damaged" (in red), and 
several "unknown" (in grey). We will keep on collecting information.


As it seems there are several of us working on this, I would like to

Any suggested tagging structure?

maybe to cover the three admin levels:

pcode:1 = 1
pcode:2 = 833
pcode:3 = 833-01
 
Or any other better suggestions?

These are postal codes?  If so I would recommend not abbreviating to
"pcode" and instead use "postal-code" or something similar.

Apparently, the reporters don't know the difference between "south-east" 
and "south-west". The article refers to the Jacmel airport, which already 
exists (see http://osm.org/go/YeF9otql-). Most likely they'll assume control 
and make some modifications to allow heavy lifting.

Flight maps (or charts) based on OSM data are long overdue. First we need to 
get a hold on the public data published by the aviation authorities.

Looks good to me. I'll just add that to

We can discuss the finer details of the tagging scheme at a later time.

Can I suggest unpcode:1 etc to distinguish it from any other actual
 or potential pcode eg postcode.

Ah, I missed that one.  I see that they are "Place Codes".  Still, it
would be good to use an un-abbreviated tag.

Or even better as(if) we have a "humanitarian:" higher level tag try

un:pcode:1

etc.

[OSM-talk] JOSM WMS plugin -> Capabilities / Layers

[David G. Smith PE PLS]

In editing OSM, I have mainly been working with Merkaartor of late, which
has good support for WMS - in switching over and looking at JOSM again, I
was working with the WMS plugin and one thing I note there is that it does
not appear to have functionality for querying a server's capabilities
(getCapabilities request) and then presenting the user with a list of
supported layers, SRS and so on - that functionality would go quite far
toward simplifying and facilitating connecting to WMS services for users, as
opposed to having to manually construct URL strings and try to guess at what
is going wrong when trying to access new services.Is anyone currently
working on that functionality?  If so, how can others contribute to the
effort?

Re: [OSM-talk] [Fwd: [CrisisMappers] Geotagged Flickr photos]

[Jean-Guilhem Cailton]

Wouauouhh ! Great !

I was disappointed that flickr was missing exactly what you provide. 
This is yet a another example of what Talbot said, that "OSM is working 
wonderfully as a clearinghouse".


(For the time being, there seem to be only photos in Port-au-Prince 
center, right ?)


I think it would be great if it where in the wiki. Something that would 
be sexy for journalists (I would like to be able to raise the awareness 
about OSM, that appears as the "Wikipedia for Maps" to me.)


Best regards,

Jean-Guilhem

You can use them in Potlatch and JOSM, too.

Hi All,
Perhaps of interest:

http://www.flickr.com/map?&fLat=18.5416&fLon=-72.3135&zl=5&map_type=hyb&order_by=recent

About 5000 geotagged ground (and some aerial) photos which might be helpful to 
folks doing damage assessment etc. Apologies if this is a repeat or absurdly 
obvious.

[OSM-talk] How can I help?

[Margie Roswell]

I've got a GIS background. Happy to get up to speed on OSM. What can I
do to help Haiti relief and mapping efforts?

I plan to be at the CrisisCamp DC on Saturday. I can attend in the afternoon.

Re: [OSM-talk] JOSM WMS plugin -> Capabilities / Layers

[Jean-Guilhem Cailton]

I use JOSM, and pasting the URLs from the "Imagery and data sources" 
page is fine with me, at least for short or medium term.


And I think it is actually much simpler to do this than having to query 
from getCapabilities. I encountered layers that didn't work with QGis, 
for example.


Best regards,

Jean-Guilhem

Margie,

I will be there and can give a tutorial on Saturday.  If you want to help
with OSM before then, then the new mapper guide might help:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Haiti/New_Mapper

What we've done up until now is digitize streets and features, looked for
collapsed buildings (less priority now), and for camps (high priority now).
We used imagery from GeoEye and DigitalGlobe, but the resolution was only so
good.  We now have access to .15 m resolution imagery from Google, with
their permission, we can trace from in OpenStreetMap.

What I'm doing now (and you can do) is going back through what's been done
in Port-au-Prince and other areas and identifying camps. We missed many
before, but are apparent in the new imagery.

I am using Potlatch, the web-based editor (the edit tab on the OSM site).

We have a couple video tutorials that might help you with using Potlatch:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6pBBK1SHh0

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oio1jY8WNig

For camps, I am simply drawing them as polygons.  Tags I use are:

* tourism = camp_site
* refugee = yes
* source = Google

(others on this list may be able to suggest better tags that these, but
these work)

We can also do cleanup of the existing data, using the new imagery (e.g.
some roads need to be fixed).

If you have questions, you can e-mail the osm-talk list.  Or feel free to
join us on live chat: http://irc.openstreetmap.org and we can answer
questions and help you out.

Thanks again for willingness to help out with mapping!

Katie Filbert

Can you please add this to the crisis camp project list:

This is for OSM-related projects, aside from general mapping.  If you can
help with this project, please signup on the wiki so we know who's working
on this and try to get some coordination.

Margie,

Even before learning OSM tools, you can be very useful by looking up the 
coordinates of Haiti hospitals.


Please see :
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Haiti/News

There is a shared spreadsheet to fill. And people that already know OSM 
can then use the coordinates you could find into OSM.


Thank you,

Jean-Guilhem

A patch to to support getCapabilities was iirc submitted to the
josm-dev mailing list once but I don't remember what happened with it.
 The only ticket I find now is

http://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/3915

which seems unrelated, but the archives of the mailing list should
have it.  I don't think it had a dialog to let you choose something
but it might be a step if you want to implement the rest.

Re: [OSM-talk] JOSM WMS plugin -> Capabilities / Layers

[David G. Smith PE PLS]

Currently for OSM editing, Merkaartor and QGIS support this type of OGC 
GetCapabilities request, parsing, user selection, and then dynamically building 
correct URL strings with the appropriate selected layer selection, EPSG SRS, et 
cetera but JOSM's WMS plugin does not yet support this.

For my part, I am happy using Merkaartor, but I know there are a lot of OSM 
mappers not on Windows platforms, as well as those who for other reasons, 
prefer JOSM.

A patch to to support getCapabilities was iirc submitted to the josm-dev 
mailing list once but I don't remember what happened with it.
 The only ticket I find now is

http://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/3915

which seems unrelated, but the archives of the mailing list should have it.  I 
don't think it had a dialog to let you choose something but it might be a step 
if you want to implement the rest.

Re: [OSM-talk] How can I help?

[Jean-Guilhem Cailton]

Margie,

You can start with the current OSM map, which I have found to have the 
most relevant information.


Simply using the name search, on the left, you can localize at least the 
town, and zoom in to see if the streets have names. In Jacmel, for 
example, the St Michel hospital was already there, all I had to do was 
copy its coordinates in the spreadsheet. (I am new to OSM - one week, so 
I don't know yet how you can most easily get coordinates from the map, 
but if you need this, somebody else will certainly tell you. You can 
click on data in the upper left menu, and see the properties of the 
objects, which is already a way to get familiar with OSM tools.)


In the opposite case, there is no information at all except the name of 
the town, and maybe an address that can't be localized. In this case, 
like I said in the wiki, I just put approximate coordinates (e.g. from 
the town). My understanding of OSM is that, like in Wikipedia, the 
information gets corrected and improved when it becomes available. 
Anyone that detects something wrong or imprecise for the first time can 
then correct it himself.


Of course, this is a simplified explanation, but I think that in this 
context, getting at least some info as quickly as possible is the most 
important. I am also hoping that more people can join in.


Then it can be refined with anyway you can think of and imagine, 
internet search, etc.


Beside this mailing-list, you can also get help or coordinate search in 
a chat tool on the spreadsheet page (click on upper right arrow), and 
the irc channel.


Thank you again,

Jean-Guilhem

Margie,

Even before learning OSM tools, you can be very useful by looking up the
coordinates of Haiti hospitals.

Please see :
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Haiti/News

There is a shared spreadsheet to fill. And people that already know OSM can
then use the coordinates you could find into OSM.

Thank you,

Margie,

I will be there and can give a tutorial on Saturday.  If you want to help
with OSM before then, then the new mapper guide might help:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Haiti/New_Mapper

What we've done up until now is digitize streets and features, looked for
collapsed buildings (less priority now), and for camps (high priority now).
We used imagery from GeoEye and DigitalGlobe, but the resolution was only so
good.  We now have access to .15 m resolution imagery from Google, with
their permission, we can trace from in OpenStreetMap.

What I'm doing now (and you can do) is going back through what's been done
in Port-au-Prince and other areas and identifying camps. We missed many
before, but are apparent in the new imagery.

I am using Potlatch, the web-based editor (the edit tab on the OSM site).

We have a couple video tutorials that might help you with using Potlatch:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6pBBK1SHh0

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oio1jY8WNig

For camps, I am simply drawing them as polygons.  Tags I use are:

* tourism = camp_site
* refugee = yes
* source = Google

(others on this list may be able to suggest better tags that these, but
these work)

We can also do cleanup of the existing data, using the new imagery (e.g.
some roads need to be fixed).

If you have questions, you can e-mail the osm-talk list.  Or feel free to
join us on live chat: http://irc.openstreetmap.org and we can answer
questions and help you out.

Thanks again for willingness to help out with mapping!

[Jean-Guilhem Cailton]

What do you think of this suggestion folks ?

I haven't taken the time to see whether this use of the database to 
forward help requests is mentioned anywhere on OSM wiki.


Tag specialists : please say what should be used (I am too tired to 
check what other groups, ushahidi, sahana, etc are using)


Always getting more and more amazed by OSM.

Entered the request message in OSM with ad-hoc tags.

AT LEAST IT CAN BE SEEN EASILY FROM THE MAIN OSM MAP

(just click Data in the upper right menu, to get all the tags).

Please everyone consider forwarding this very simple and straightforward 
pipeline to your contacts that could be interested.


I also entered the message from the Milot Hospital, and both could 
immediately be seen on OSM/Data.


Sorry if there are better ways that I don't know, I am admittedly 
focused on OSM (and also an OSM newbie), but this looks so simple, and 
it just works now !


(So I had to shout, which I never never do.)

(Of course, tags specialist can improve the tags used later, but I think 
anyone can understand what already appears)

Well, OSM was never designed as a note-passing platform. OSM is meant to 
represent the physical features of a base map, i.e. "what's on the ground 
right now".

If you want to add requests for whatever, I'd say "go to ushaidi".

when this crisis is over)

I always wondered if those hospitals on the OSM main map for Haiti was
really up an running. Is it really an amenity=hospital of no patients
can go there?

Re: [OSM-talk] [Fwd: Re: [CrisisMappers] FW: I NEED SUPPLIES NOW/ Location of Functioning Hospital : OSM PIPELINE SUGGESTED !]

[Jean-Guilhem Cailton]

Iván

It was my understanding that OSM may not have been originally designed 
with this in mind. (And my wording and typing may be awkward after the 
little sleep I have had in the past week.) Yet it makes it possible, 
easy and quick. And with all the maps/apps build on it, someone will 
quickly make this look good.


Of course, people who develop special apps will know better whether this 
idea can be useful for them.


But, for example, the message about the Milot hospital being waiting for 
patients had already been forwarded to the CrisisMappers list several 
days ago. And it was last sent again this morning...


If someone had thought about this possibility the first time, the info 
could have been on OSM map 5 minutes later. And with the growing uses 
that OSM is experiencing, someone in a relevant logistic place would 
have been bound to pick it up. Especially if they had been warned of 
this possibility.


Every time I listen to a news flash, I hear that logistics in Haiti is a 
nightmare.


So please do not reject a usage that could turn out to be useful just 
because you consider that OSM was "not designed for it".


From a technical point of view, this kind of info weighs nothing 
compared with the imagery and cartographic data that OSM is handling. 
But from a relief point of view, it may be vital.


So I'd say : if everybody is needing a central billboard where they can 
pin their localized notes themselves, why not let it be known that OSM 
can do it ? Especially if they already have it with them on their GPS or 
iPhones...


And let people decide whether it is useful for them or not.

Regards,

Jean-Guilhem

Don't say flickr as bad. Flickr doesn't have any copyright for all
photos nor the map. It doesn't do nothing. Without noticing that
flickr uses OSM in Haiti, I could not decide to read Flickr's photos.
I noticed many photos of the earthquake on picasaweb but I cannot

No. They are searched by

Those searching conditions are listed on http://mappin.hp2.jp/rsslist.html

CHF Haiti Update, Thursday 21 2010 -

Notes from the field - January 21 2010

WHERE WE ARE WORKING RIGHT NOW: We are working Port Au Prince (PaP) 
(namely Delmas, Petion-Ville, Cite Soleil, Port Au Prince and 
Carrefour).  We are also working in Grand Goave, Petit Goave, Leogane, 
and Gonaives outside of PaP.


ON THE GROUND IN HAITI RIGHT NOW:

Going back to work in Haiti - The Private Sector Roars to Life:  Today 
through our partnership with Caterpillar, CHF (and its team of trained 
Caterpillar operators) were able to clear two sites of rubble in Port Au 
Prince using leased equipment from HayTrac, the local Caterpillar 
dealer.  The work is set to continue thanks to our dedicated, 
hard-working team.


· CHF's team of engineers and mobilizers accompanied CAT 
operators to work with the Mayor of Delmas to remove rubble in critical 
points in the city to clear up road access.
CHF and partner TC2 sent messages to the garment sector, a sector CHF 
has been working in to pormote long term job creation, to encourage 
continued investment in the sector
· CHF continued to support first responders throughout the 
country - including Red Cross and others
· Former CHF and Haytrac trainees who received training under 
CHF 8 week of training program done three months ago have turned their 
training into practical use in rebuilding their country
· Yesterday CHF and other met with Prime Minister Bellerive was 
there to go over the overall structure of the coordination between the 
government, the IO, and local organizations.
· CHF held a coordination meeting this morning at CHF office in 
Petit Goave to gather first responders site leaders and local NGO 
partners to receive instructions on how to mobilize their communities in 
advance of aid distributions.
· Yesterday the Mayor of Carrefour called CHF for assistance in 
helping rescue a live person in a Carrefour destroyed building. Victims 
continue to be found alive in buildings - see our website for the rescue 
of 5 year Michael in Petit Goave.  CHF worked with the Embassy team to 
assist the Mayor.
· Based on CHF Haiti´s familiarity to local mayors, the Shelter 
Cluster lead asked CHF to play a liaison role between the cluster 
members and the local authorities.
· CHF coordinated with the IFRC to begin construction of its 
transitional shelter as pilot projects in some selected sites.  IFRC and 
CHF worked together to source supplies - such as plastic sheeting to 
begin the transitional shelter pilot.  IFRC and CHF have worked together 
in past disasters in Peru and Indonesia.
· CHF and Habitat for Humanity will continue our partnership in 
Haiti and focus on transitional shelters.
· Through the generous contribution of the Vicini Group CHF is 
identifying warehouse space in Jimani for staging supply convoys to Haiti.
· CHF with support from NetHope and Inveneo CHF has set up a 
VSAT on its roof to connect more than 15 international NGOs (next the 
network will be expanded by Cisco and others)  More info at 
www.nethope.org/haiti  



CHF continues to work at emergency response, lending our facilities, 
equipment and logistics to assist in the relief operations. We are 
supporting numerous first responder organizations including Partners in 
Health, Spanish, French and Haitian Red Cross, The Boy Scouts,  Medecins 
du Monde Suisse. Kits arrived for 1000 families that include shelters, 
kitchen sets, mosquito nets, jerry cans, and four large tents for 
emergency hospital rooms, which are set to be distributed.


We are continuing to prepare for the forthcoming weeks - and months - as 
we focus on rubble removal, water and sanitation and transitional 
shelter and employing Haitian communities in the clean up of their 
neighborhoods.


CHF-Haiti Blog Update - January 21, 2010:

Relief distributions proceeding peacefully.  Some first hand notes from 
our Field Director Bob Fagan in Petit Goave:


"In Grand Goave they saw their first food distribution this afternoon. 
The distributions themselves were extremely orderly. A Christian mission 
in the area run by Ohio-based organization Lifeline gave food that was 
sent to 26 sites in Grand Goave. A pair of MINUSTAH soldiers stood guard 
at most sites I saw, but the crowd was calm and orderly even where

[OSM-talk] Has the Nile River dried up?

[Katie Filbert]

Looking at OSM for Cairo, Egypt, I noticed the Nile River is not rendering.
Why?  I suspect some problem with the polygons but I can't pinpoint the
exact problem, nor able to fix it.

Is there a tool in JOSM or some way to get the Nile River showing up on the
map, once again?

See the news item: http://mapnik.org/news/2010/jan/19/release_0_7_0/

And a mapnik-users roundup: 
https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/mapnik-users/2010-January/002856.html

Specifically of interest to OpenStreetMap users depending on the  
osm.xml or sharing styles:

The PostGIS plugin used extensively in the osm.xml styles now has  
significantly better error reporting. So, if filters change and you've  
not updated your osm2pgsql style Mapnik will now let you know rather  
than giving you a blank map.

The  element now has a new optional attribute called  
'minimum_version' which allows you to gently enforce the Mapnik  
version the style depends on. Mapnik development is moving quickly  
adding useful features, so this should be handy.

Unifont, which is used as the fallback font to support CJK fonts in  
osm.xml, is now installed by default in Mapnik's font cache.

For more details see the release notes: http://trac.mapnik.org/wiki/Release0.7.0

Enjoy,

Dane
