This is the area that we still need to get some agreement on :(
Current rendering does not take any notice of start and stop dates ...

[OSM-talk] osmosis pbf issues

[Arun Ganesh]

I have been trying to process pbf files without luck in osmosis. When i
run:
osmosis --read-pbf india.osm.pbf --write-xml india.osm
osmosis quits with:
SEVERE: Execution aborted.
org.openstreetmap.osmosis.core.OsmosisRuntimeException: Task type read-pbf
doesn't exist.

I installed osmosis 0.39 using 'apt-get intall osmosis'
I used to get the same error when i used osmosis from
http://bretth.dev.openstreetmap.org/osmosis-build/osmosis-latest.zip a
month ago

How do i get pbf to work? i dont see any help in the wiki either.
cheers

As far as rendering is concerned, it would be useful to be able to set starting 
and ending dates for a given renderiing, so that eventually you compare a 
series of maps and see patterns of changes.  In some cases, you might want to 
show only the time period of interest; in other cases, you might want to show

Ah ok. It wasn't listed protected but the Mediawiki pages may be

I'm pretty sure you need admin rights for this links (these pages are

And changing the sidebar/navigation you even need sys admin rights
(see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interface/Sidebar ).

So do you know somebody who can take action?

Having looked once again at the sidebar/navigation, there are even
more translation issues at least for the german interface languages
"de" and "de_ch".

Currently sidebar/navigation loos like this (in "de" and "de_ch" as
interface language):

But it should become something like this:

That is the 100 dollar question ;)
What is difficult to separate is where an object IS still on the ground but now 
has a different designation. For example where a railway line was ripped up but 
is now in the process of being restored. Where there is historic information for 
an existing object, some information would need to be stored in each database?

I have my 'close approximation' digitisation of Keith Briggs full map of roads 
and places as separate MapInfo layers I could send you although I am a bit 
concerned about copyright, Briggs seems to have worked from a book by Margary 
that was published in 1957 so is still under copyright. If needed I know I 
could convert it to ESRI shape file, think I can convert to OSM XML file too 
but I'd need to research that one.

I have been using Bill Thayer's Lacus Curtius site 
http://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Gazetteer/Places/Europe/Great_Britain/_Periods/Roman/home.html

It seems to be down right now, it seems to do that every holiday weekend.

I have copies of those maps and have even made a go of digitising the 'All 
Roads' png image with mixed success. The low (web friendly) resolution of the 
image coupled with the further, cascading loss of resolution going through 
QGIS's geo-reference tool meant that near to +- 1 kilometre accuracy. After 
about 10 attempts I only have 3 roads running along the wrong side of coastline 
and several coinciding with their counterparts in the historic=roman_road data.

I had lost the link to that site so thanks for that.

[OSM-talk] New version of the parking map

[Kay Drangmeister]

Hi all,

Happy new year! I updated the parking map style on 
http://parking.openstreetmap.de
Changes are:

* new keywords are now accepted for parking:lane:*
   * "parallel" instead of "inline"
   * "perpendicular" instead of "orthogonal"
   * the old keywords are supported for a while, but discouraged
* vending machines for parking tickets are now displayed
* Parking lots for shops have now the shop names 
(parking:condition:area:customers=xxx)
* Parking nodes are now displayed with the correct color (i.e. green for free, 
etc.)
* Parking areas are now semi-transparent, so that the parking_aisles are seen 
through
* incomplete data (i.e. unknown parking condition) is displayed in purple)

Please debug your area (use /dirty to redraw tiles) and comment on any 
bugs/wishes.
Also, try to add additional tags for purple parking lots (best: 
parking:condition:area=
free/ticket/customers/private/disc, at least: fee=yes/no)

Kind regards,
Kay

Historic data is 'main stream' when it is still visible in the landscape and 
becomes secondary when it stops being visible, for example a Tudor Manor House 
that has been wholly swallowed by a later mansion would be a target for the 
secondary stream but its Coach House that was remodelled, leaving its Tudor 
Heritage visible in the facade would remain in the main stream.

I think the issue is availability of accurate data - I am pretty confident

I would like the tagging to be accessible to non-history buffs, so more
qualitative categories would seem easier than trying to be too precise.  By
all means include start_date if it is known though!

I like this sort of thing too, which is why we will need more categories
than currently proposed 'modern' is too wide given all the changes in the

is something I've been gathering historic maps that provides considerable

The only question that still has not been addressed is one that covers a lot of

[OSM-talk] map for GPS and local

[Frans Thamura]

hi all

based on my experience last year (happy new year all), we install the
indonesian map to our mapnik in osmosa.net, and we get the ZEE get
problem, and after we put global map, 2 week work in our server.. all
goes well since then.

i have an idea to produce indonesia map only, with better than our
last experience.

our team will replicate the global data , and put indonesia only, i
see geofabric do smiliar thing .

can share a best tips to extract global data to local data.

sorry if this question is a repeated.

Re: [OSM-talk] Request for Romano-British features

[Joseph Reeves]

>the main thing that is missing from it is a list of 'cultures' or 
>'civilizations' that we can all use.

In the UK at least there's a defined and well used list of periods
provided by the Archaeology Data Service:

http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/Imagebank/period.jsf

In short, is something like:

Palaeolithic 500 000 - 10 000 BC
Mesolithic 10,000 - 4,000 BC
Neolithic 4000 - 2200 BC
Bronze Age 2500 - 700 BC
Iron Age 800 BC - 43 AD
Roman 43 - 410 AD
Early Medieval 410 - 1066 AD
Medieval 1066 - 1540 AD
Post Medieval 1540 - 1901 AD
Modern 1901 - present

For the data to be useful for a wider community than OSM, I would
strongly suggest following these dates and terms. It's what i use on
my grey literature site, for example:

http://library.thehumanjourney.net/view/subjects/UK-periods.html

Please be aware that "'cultures' or 'civilizations'" don't really work
in British archaeology (or anywhere in Europe) any more - we've given
up on Culture Historical interpretations of the past. I guess it's
only really a matter of semantics, but dealing with periods rather
than civilisations will make it much easier to draw in data from the
outside world.

Also please note that the above list is for the UK only. On the
continent, for example, different things happened and happened at
different times. It probably wouldn't be possible to get a coherent
tagging scheme across Europe that made any sense; there's simply not a
consistent European past that could be represented in such a way.

Cheers, Joseph

I hadn't seen that proposal - I agree it would be good to have a world-wide
scheme, but I am concerned that we could potentially end up with different
tagging schemes here...and I know how unpopular it would be to 'correct'
them electronically in the future

As far as I can tell there is:

   1. The proposed culture= (no wiki page for it yet other than
   http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Fradeve11/prove2
   2. historic:civilization= -
   https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:historic:civilization

I started a wiki page to record how British historical sites are tagged (
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Historic_Britain) - It
would be good to update that with the proposal - the main thing that is
missing from it is a list of 'cultures' or 'civilizations' that we can all
use.

Neither culture nor historic:civilization are that well used, but there are
more historic:civilization entries (see http://taginfo.osm.org).

What I intend to do with my map is to have different layers for different
cultures/civilizations so that you can see all roman features, or all cold
war relics etc.

Mick,

I've been tracing roman road from these maps into OSM. You can best see 
them at http://maps3.org.uk/tiles/historic.html 
 , kindly provided by Graham Jones. The 
blue lines are the roman roads. It also shows anything else "historic" 
in the UK. It is currently a couple of months out of date but Graham 
will be updating it.


Over the next year I aim to be more methodical about this as I found my 
OS "Map of Roman Britain", 3rd Edition, 16 miles to one inch which I 
bought as a teenager and is out of copyright.


I've been using historic=roman_road but will be switching to 
historic=road, culture=roman as per an excellent tagging schema proposed 
by Francesco de Virgilio at 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Fradeve11/prove2 , as this will 
enable a pan-European approach.
