[OSM-talk] Counting POI Additions
We've been using iD through distributed local mapping teams and are attempting to track the number of individual POIs that each person adds. Obviously an individual's profile shows the number of 'edits' but I believe any given edit might entail the uploading of several POIs. In other words, if I add three schools before I save/upload to OSM, I believe (please correct me if I'm wrong) that shows up as 1 edit on my profile. The only way to count the number of actual POIs added by a user seems to be clicking on each 'edit' on their profile, then counting all changes they made within that edit. Is there a way in which we can easily track each individual POI addition per team member, rather than the number of uploads? Apologies if the answer is straightforward and I missed it!

Re: [OSM-talk] Counting POI Additions
You are right. Every time you click 'save', it roughly(depending on how the editor handles it) equates to one changeset/edit. A changeset may(and often) contains the editing/creation of many objects. How many objects(nodes, ways, relations) you created or edited can be counted. A good place to look is http://hdyc.neis-one.org/ (for example, my details: http://hdyc.neis-one.org/) But consider it that a way (a line, e.g. road or river) is made up of many nodes (points, each place it changes direction or curves). So it might not show exactly what you want. Below the initial object counters, are counters for popular tags. School comes under amenity.

How much trouble to do you want to go through for this? If you want it automated and detailed, it may take some scripting to load each changeset and get the details. You'd want to track 1) New objects created and tagged. These could be nodes or ways, and will be at version=1. 2) Objects (node or way) edited. If the object is already present in the map, we want people to edit not replace or duplicate. You don't want to reward overmapping (e.g. drawing a toilet building with 50 node points)... so I'd count just once for each unique tagged object (be it node, way or relation). ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
Re: [OSM-talk] Counting POI Additions
Counting tags instead of objects is another way to handle this, add some bonus for polygons instead of single nodes POI. If you want to take into account not only new objects, have a look at augmented-diffs which allow to easily track changes on objects without having to maintain a full OSM database as they provide previous and new version of a modified object. This allows to detect new tags added on an existing object. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Overpass_API/Augmented_Diffs 2013/8/27 Bryce Nesbitt bry...@obviously.com On Mon, Aug 26, 2013 at 9:45 AM, Matt McNabb mmcn...@caerusassociates.com wrote: Is there a way in which we can easily track each individual POI addition per team member, rather than the number of uploads?
