Hi !

Re: [OSM-talk] Finding what country something is in (new website)
Something that would also be very cool would be if the script told you all polygons or multipolygons you're in regardless of whether they are a relation or normal polygon, and you could filter the result for country boundaries or other type of areas. It could for example tell you you're in a building in a school area in a residential area in a county in a province in a country on an island. It's a question of a proper specification. Then you can add the rules by yourself. Please have a look at http://78.46.81.38/#section.rule_example Currently, the areas are created based on the two rules osm-script name=Area::Create_from_admin_level query type=relation has-kv k=admin_level/ has-kv k=name/ /query foreach into=rel union recurse type=relation-way from=rel/ recurse type=way-node/ /union make-area pivot=rel into=odd/ detect-odd-nodes into=odd/ foreach from=odd into=i unionitem set=i/item set=rel//union conflictIn item set=rel/, the item set=i/ is contained in an odd number of segments./conflict /foreach /foreach /osm-script and osm-script name=Area::Create_from_multipolygon query type=relation has-kv k=type v=multipolygon/ has-kv k=name/ /query foreach into=rel union recurse type=relation-way from=rel/ recurse type=way-node/ /union make-area pivot=rel into=odd/ detect-odd-nodes into=odd/ foreach from=odd into=i unionitem set=i/item set=rel//union conflictIn item set=rel/, the item set=i/ is contained in an odd number of segments./conflict /foreach /foreach /osm-script These rules translate as follows: Consider every relation that has a tag with key admin_level and a tag with key name. Create a polygon from all the member ways. If this fails, attach a message In relation $Rel, the node $Node is contained in an odd number of segments to this relation. and Consider every relation that has a tag with key type value multipolygon and a tag with key name. Create a polygon from all the member ways. If this fails ... Thus, if you think of a rule like Consider every way that has a tag with key type and value multipolygon and a tag with key name. Create a polygon from this way. If this fails ... this translates to osm-script name=Area::Create_from_multipolygon query type=way has-kv k=type v=multipolygon/ has-kv k=name/ /query foreach into=way union item set=way/ recurse type=way-node from=way/ /union make-area pivot=way into=odd/ detect-odd-nodes into=odd/ foreach from=odd into=i unionitem set=i/item set=way//union conflictIn item set=rel/, the item set=i/ is contained in an odd number of segments./conflict /foreach /foreach /osm-script You just can submit the rule (or any other rule) as described on http://78.46.81.38/#section.rule_example and some hours later it should be processed.

Two boundary relations is also the way to map the Australian example. Basicallly, the OSM3S takes into account any relation that has a tag with key admin_level (no matter what value) and name (no matter what value). Then it tries to make one or several polygons from the way members of the relation. If the way members constitute proper polygons, an area is made from these. The tagging of the ways doesn't matter. If not, you can spot the problems by a query like id-query type=relation ref=53295/ report/ Just send this by a post request like wget -O - --post-data=id-query type=\relation\ ref=\53295\/report/ http://78.46.81.38/api/interpreter or just paste the query in an arbitrary form on http://78.46.81.38/ Concerning the Kosovo example, there is something odd at http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=42.8362124lon=20.3513993zoom=16 and http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=42.8362313lon=20.351468zoom=16 Concerning Australia, a query like coord-query lat=-34.7758269 lon=149.6918631/ print mode=body/ does find relation 80500 which represents Australia. So please specify where in Australia the script fails. Then I'll try to fix it as fast as possible.
