Re: [OSM-talk] Edit Local/Server Copy of OSM Data
Hi It is completely possible to set up your own copy of the Rails-API with a local copy of the API-DB. All Editors (Potlatch2, Merkaartoe, JOSM) will be able to talk through your local API with your local Database. In order to render your Data you'll also have to copy the dump/diff creation process and import your locally generated dumps/diffs with osm2pgsql into a local rendering db, which feeds your image generation process. All in all a complex setup, but that's what happens on openstreetmap.org, too.

Re: [OSM-talk] Imagery Boundary?
Yes, we would need tagging conventions like this so users can identify the data that is of interest to them. And relations would be useful to group geometry that goes together, such as the features associated with a particular bird migration study. On the technical side, I suppose access to the data would best be served by the Overpass API since a bounding box or ID search from the Editting API would not be particularly useful.

Re: [OSM-talk] Imagery Boundary?
That idea seems good to me: reasonably simple - not a new database for each usecase, but giving place to all that potentially useful data that is seen as unworthy for the main database. Some categories (category=sport/birds/metadata/...) would likely have to be created to allow filtering only some features in JOSM, otherwise it would be unusable.

Re: [OSM-talk] Imagery Boundary?
Creating another instance of the OSM database and server is a very good idea. I would propose we make the purpose of this database to allow people post ANY geo data that is NOT part of the base map. It would be an open database for general GIS data. Some examples of random things people could do with this database: - The high resolution imagery outlines discussed in this thread - Migratory patterns of birds (I can't find the post where someone was requesting where to do this...) - GPS tracking for running, hiking, cycling and other recreation, similar to Strava or MapMyRun (see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OpenSportMap) - GIS Management for operations like Haiti OSM team The official OpenStreetMap database is for the basemap and this new instance would be for operational data. Of course there could be many different operational layer databases, and different layers have been discussed many times. For starters, we could just make one database and let people use it for any such purpose. Also, when there is talk of alternate databases there is talk of linking between databases. For starters we would not have any provision for this. This would just be a separate GEO database. How do we do this? I'd like to reference a post by Jason Remillard, http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2013-February/066301.html "We apparently have a lots extra bandwidth and disk space on our US OSM servers. Requests have gone out asking for ideas..." So perhaps it could be hosted on US OSM servers.

Re: [OSM-talk] Imagery Boundary?
>would some kind of "meta" OSM database be appropriate? +1 on this, I guess the challenge would be finding resources to host it.
