Thank you Mark,

Please also post to OSM-talk so that its subscribers know when the set 
is complete.

The feeds are available now and I'm sure they know of them...  We had 
a little technical glitch and need to refresh our location data for 
greater accuracy beyond two degree decimals (got dropped on the first 
import - we have all the data to much higher accuracy).  Once that is 
complete, I will ask someone to contact OSM direct to ensure that our 
dataset if posted there.

I have attached tags for the majority of pcode level 2 already to towns and 
villages, using the pcode:2 tags as  suggested on

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Humanitarian_OSM_Tags#Emergency_Response_.26_Relief_Support_Infrastructure

I believe that the pcode2 should probably refer to an administrative district 
rather than a place, but it would have been more time consuming in the first 
instance to break up the current admin boundaries and create relations to make 
smaller boundaries at the pcode:2 level.  Its probably a task for later.

See below for the details about P-codes for Haiti.

First, I've just downloaded the xls file (22nd Jan at 12:57hrs (UK)). 
If anyone thinks this is out of date please let me know asap.

Second, I understand the pcode1 and pcode2 columns but not pcode3. Can 
anyone explain the pcode3 column?

Third, if no-one can think of a reason for me not to, I intend to start 
putting in these codes at 14:00hrs (UK), using

un:pcode:2=*

and doing pcode2 first as these are the most obviously do-able.

 I believe that the pcode2 should probably refer to an 
 administrative district rather than a place, but it 
 would have been more time consuming in the first instance 
 to break up the current admin boundaries and create relations 
 to make smaller boundaries at the pcode:2 level.

Are there areas where the existing boundary relations don't match the pcode:2 
areas? I've added the pcode:2 value to each of the relations in the area where 
the pcode:2 starts with 8 (Grande-Anse Department). Once I'd done that I 
created a new boundary relation around the outside and added pcode:1=8 to it. 
The original boundary ways had an id_commune tag which seemed to be the same 
number in the area I was looking, though did note that some of the old 85x 
id_commune codes have 10xx pcode:2s.

The boundary for the Grand-Anse department is now rendering at 
http://haiti.openstreetmap.nl and I was thinking of starting on another.

somebody replaced my header with:
NO NEW COLUMNS PLEASE: We have no use for this data

I can't imagine that that's the case. I'm disappointed to have data
removed. I understand if quality code data can't be used, possibly, in
OSM. But somewhere, there should be a record of whether something is
located to within a precise address, to a village centroid, or within
a km of a town.

Darn, really  disappointed


I'm not even sure to whom I should direct this issue?

Who was the person who took out the header, complete with
descriptions of (what I think are really reasonable) codes 1-4?

Anyhow, I'm feeling deflated. I thought I was providing a really
valuable service, and now, given that I don't know the location of the
hospitals, and have generally been finding village and town centroids,
it feels like really bad data, especially minus a quality code.

My original description for the new column said:

2=nearby
3=village, within 0.3 km
4=town, within 1km

Re: [OSM-talk] Fw: [CrisisMappers] Haiti PCodes

2010-01-22 Thread Margie Roswell
Hi Mark, thanks for the note.

Honestly, I truly believe that it's better to capture the confidence
or quality code, whichever you want to call it, when the data is
captured. And having the legend left there (descriptions of 1-4) helps
people do to that.

You call it mission creep, but I think it's just an improved workflow;
It makes more sense then trying to determine the quality of the data
after-the-fact-of collection.

Anyhow, I have placed several town centroids in there, and I know
others have, and without a place to record that, it's just oy, really
irksome, to this longtime GIS-er. (I got my first copy of MapInfo 19
years ago!)

I can't in good conscience continue adding data without also signaling
that the point is not accurate. With the satellite photography, you
can tell if a town is small, or big,. And with a Google Maps ruler,
you can see if your point is likely to be within one km or 0.3 km.
Those confidence codes were designed to reflect that.

 We have to agree to common standards for the data
 schema and lock out changes - such as a new column.

What sort of protocol is in place (if any) for agreeing to modify the
common standards, to add a confidence code (or quality code)? What
would it involve, technically (schema-wise), and socially?

(Is crisismappers the appropriate list for this conversation? If so,
happy to remove the talk from future distribution.)

 I did...

 This spreadsheet is only for geo-locating the hospitals - then it will be
 fed back to OSM or anyone else who wants it - who is free to track
 confidence and other attributes.  I agree that confidence is an important
 measure, but... mission creep

 The data entered is retained... and we can use it - but it was very
 incomplete - and other lists are not similarly categorized furthering the
 data integrity issues.

 That is the problem with these shared google spreadsheets.  If you change
 their purpose and structure, they can no longer serve their original
 intended purpose.

 What we want to do is this: have a live spreadsheet that can be synced with
 a database - such that updates to the spreadsheet automatically update the
 database and vice-versa.  We have to agree to common standards for the data
 schema and lock out changes - such as a new column.

 I will send an update shortly explaining further the proposal going forward.

 Best regards,
 Mark

Well osm-talk surely is *not* the appropriate list for this conversation 
as it is long-standing OSM policy to allow everything that mappers 
want to map, so any talk of locking out changes is something that 
would either not happen on osm-talk or be shot down quickly.

Of course the crisismappers list is free to define any protocols and

 Any suggested tagging structure?

 maybe to cover the three admin levels:

 pcode:1 = 1
 pcode:2 = 833
 pcode:3 = 833-01

 Or any other better suggestions?

 These are postal codes?  If so I would recommend not abbreviating to
 pcode and instead use postal-code or something similar.

 They aren't postal codes, as explained by the link that Mikel sent in
 the original email.

Ah, I missed that one.  I see that they are Place Codes.  Still, it
would be good to use an un-abbreviated tag.
