Re: [OSM-talk] We need to have a conversation about attribution
Richard, Simon, all, I am very happy with the current requirements and I think they don't need to be updated. Maybe the Attribution guidance as in Licence_and_Legal_FAQ can indeed be expanded, with some examples of "Dos" and "Don'ts" So I very much look forward LWG's next work https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licensing_Working_Group/Minutes/2019-01-10#Update_attribution_guidance Looking at the current practices in apps and web maps, that do not meet the current requirements, I am not happy with missing or hidden or hard-to-reach attribution. So if we have to be explicit about the bare minimum for online maps, I would require: - Minimum attribution MUST be full “© OpenStreetMap contributors” whenever possible, or 15 characters, “© OpenStreetMap”, whatever fits best. - MUST have a clickable link to osm.org/copyright or osm.org/about. - MUST be big enough and with enough contrast to be readable and clickable. - MUST be at least the prominence of other companies. - MUST be visible for at least 10 seconds. - MUST be expanded by default (expanded at start and whenever size allows). - MAY (optionally) be collapsed to a clickable icon or abbreviated “© OSM” or "Terms", "Credits", "data providers", ... (whenever size is not sufficient, or, when user clicks to collapse, or, after a delay) BUT other data providers MUST be equally treated and any other attribution (eg. map provider, map hosting, software, library...) SHOULD be similarly treated. - MUST be always possible to click only ONCE and get back the expanded attribution or a panel or a full page credits with extensive attribution. Beyond the bare minimum, I would suggest: - extra visibility, time on screen for OpenStreetMap, - and extra texts, links, icons for special pages such as osm.org/welcome | osm.org/fixthemap | join.osmfoundation.org | donate.osm.org | ... and for licences As a test bench last month, we (people from OpenStreetMap France) have tried to go the other route: "let us display as much information as reasonably possible within attributions, for data, tiles, hosting and display (in French)". The result of our experimentation is here: https://osm-fr.github.io/osm-fr-front-map/ and embedded in the front page of openstreetmap.fr so you can get an idea of what MAY be possible if you want to display richer attributions, this way or another, on big or small devices.

I looked for similar issues and apparently it was already discussed, considered back and forth and modified in iD. https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/703 https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/1598 https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/2251#issuecomment-180469055 I don't know the effect of this recent modification https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/commit/437893ebb8b31e033e6544f0cc343725c4d6a0fd but it might change a bit the behaviour of iD with open changesets. -- althio On 17 January 2018 at 22:26, Dave F wrote: > This a purely an iD problem.

Osmose seems to follow the rule: One feature, one OSM element (or one feature, one tag) and avoids duplicating data. The rationale is certainly close to: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/House_numbers/Bremen_Schema where you can use: - addr:* tags for buildings or nodes on the street - contact:* tags for contact information about a POI Best, -- althio ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Hi Volker,

2- Export and serve with mapwarper service:
