Hi Marion,

I usually just search in the search box of wiki.openstreetmap.org when I don't 
know a tag.
doctors leads to : amenity=doctors
Dental to : amenity=dentist
Optometrists to : shop=optician
...

browsing the map_features page can also give ideas
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Features

Also keep in mind that pois are sometimes already there on areas or buildings, 
and do not always need to be on nodes.

Cheers,

Totor

Hello I am new to this group. I am currently personlly surveying health 
facilities in the Cebu, Mandaue and Consolacion area of Cebu Province for my 
own needs. I am a newbie at adding points to the database. I have come across 
some of the following different types of places both public and private:
Doctor offices
Dental offices
OptometristsPrivate clinics with and without emergency facilities
Public clinics with and without
 emergency facilitiesHospitalsTreatment centersBirthing Centers
Diagnostic test centers
Health care training facilities and schools
I am sure this is not an exhaustive list. What I need to know is how should 
each be identified on the map. What codes should I use to enter each one. I 
have only been using the simplest methods so far but I think it is important to 
differentiate to help the user find what they need. I would like to discuss 
this with someone very knowledgeable in this area before starting to enter the 
data. Please contact me here.

Hi Marion

I'm no expert either, but generally the OSM wiki is a good place to start: 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dhospital

It gives useful guidelines like Hospital is bigger than Clinic. Clinic is 
bigger than Doctor, and it also answers your query about emergency services:
amenity=clinic
name=Cebu Wellness Center
emergency=yes|no

You should be able to get most of the info from there. At the end of the day, 
OSM is a consensus of users, so if you feel strongly that other tags should be 
used, or don't fit your needs, then you can argue your case on the mailing 
lists.

 Hi. Since no one has explained, I'd quote a part from OSMF Board Meeting
 Minutes:
 
  OSMF received C+D letter from someone who trademarked the word
  “Geocode(TM)” and asks us to remove all references to this from our
  web site where it is connected in some way with Google services. Simon
  is in contact with a lawyer about this. We might actually remove the
  few occurrences because they are not essential to us.
 
 So, you can still use geocode as a word. But you cannot, as it seems,
 use it in relation with Google services. That is, no geocode using
 google and such. That's why some links to Google Maps were removed. I
 don't know about Nominatim, especially MapQuest's Nominatim, but to be
 on a safe side, better use search. And if you don't mention any
 services, you can use that word freely, as in now having parsed
 coordinates, do the reverse geocoding to aquire their human-readable
 locations. After all, the wikipedia page for Geocoding doesn't
 mention any trademarks (although it has Google Maps as its first
 reference).

I have no more information than what's publically available but my bet is that 
the trademark owner is going after Google. Without any more detail than what 
has been released it's hard to say, but I quite understand if the board is 
holding off on releasing more details until after they get more legal advice.

I agree with what you're saying although I can't help thinking that
if the OSMF can't take the risk of having some things in the wiki,
the solution, for everyone's benefit, is to move the wiki to a server
that's not paid for by the OSMF.  I'm positive finding such a server
wouldn't be difficult (in fact the home page says it is hosted at UCL
 ByteMark -- so if the OSMF is neither hosting nor writing the
content, should it accept the C+D?  The admins *are* OSMF members,
but they're not OSMF). The OSMF has at some point started assuming
responsibility for what is being published in the database and now on
the wiki.  In the case of the database it makes sense for someone to
give some level of warranty that the data in it in fact is legally
usable, although the consequences of this step have had a terrible
effect on the map and the community so far.


+100

Current situation is getting silly to the point that I'm seriously
considering abandoning this project and leaving history tab, vector
tiles and my other projects unfinished just to have peace of mind and
work in a sane project with sane organization behind it like KDE.

On one hand OSMF is telling us they don't want any strategic planning
and involvement, on the other they are redacting and editing data and
wiki. And this is possible mostly because what Andrzej said - that they
host the servers (which I am personally grateful for - to the admins -
no to people who use it for political bullshit like this).

This is NOT how a project should work and you will only discourage
people by doing such stunts.

Either finally get your act together and prepare a proper organization
like KDE e.v (http://ev.kde.org/) or get out of the project and
leave it be. There is still plenty of energy that will fill the void
after you (I'm talking to OSMF).

+1 to many responses in this thread. I'm in favour of a bit more
centralized steering of OSM. Not only by OSMF, but also by other people
(within and outside working groups) who will put a bit more coordinated
energy in thinking about strenghts, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.
Like addressing this threat:
http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/osmf-talk/2012-December/001951.html

And luckily the board acts on this (source:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/19wLhnezowHBio9zGaJkNaCbDX-gmWNHUSdx1kdQJYY0/edit#
):
*The board resolves to strengthen the OSMF position with respect to its
intellectual property, in particular trade and service marks. The board
requests the Chairman to engage suitable, cost effective, legal support to
a) register the OpenStreetMap mark and logo in the USA, if not possible as
separate marks, as a combined mark.
b) register the same in any other territories key to the further
development of OSM (example: Russia)
c) the same as for any other potentially valuable marks (including
registration in the EU)
d) to complete the transfer of the EU OpenStreetMap mark to the OSMF *

It would be unimaginable if we couldn't use the word Openstreetmap anymore
in the Wiki, because someone in some state on this globe trademarks it :-)

I also believe it's simply not always possible to have 100% transparancy,
so I like Simon's offer to address him personally.

Let's act on these kind of threats (go on with that, OSMF), and let's act
on other important things for the future of OSM, with a bit more
coordination.

Cheers, Johan

Re: [OSM-talk] [OSM-newbies] Wiki documentation on GPS devices - please help answer some questions

2013-02-02 Diskussionsfäden Dudley Ibbett




Hi Rob

As a UK countryside mapper using a Blumax and Garmin 62s and JOSM I'd make the 
following comments:

At this time my personal answer would be almost anywhere (path, tracks, roads 
etc. etc.).  I also understand that the accuracy of the GPS trace will vary 
with time due to the position of the satellites (particularly when you're in a 
valley or on the side of a slope and I guess the same goes for when your in an 
urban environment.) so recording the same route repeatedly at different times 
would also be helpful.   When editing having more gps traces certainly gives 
you greater confidence when drawing and/or adjusting elements.  I suspect the 
answer to the use of phones, tablets etc is it depends on where/when you're 
mapping and how good the reception and therefore accuracy is.  I always assumed 
the 62s would have better accuracy with an external aerial but experience shows 
that this isn't always the case and sometimes the Blumax, with its internal 
aerial is better. 

My suggestion would be just to encourage people to record and upload gps tracks 
rather than make any recommendations.

I would also add that the section on PDOP is rather technical for a newbie.  
Perhaps this could be moved to a separate wiki page and the answer to the 
question changed to be more general.   If your GPS has a display then this is 
more likely to be given as a distance.  I must admit I never bother with this 
and generally leave determining the accuracy to when I use the traces for 
editing.  However this only works if you already have map features of other gps 
traces.  If the trace looks awful in the editor then I also wouldn't upload it. 
 This work with JOSM but I don't know how this practice would fit with other 
editors. The section in http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Accuracy is a much 
better answer to this question but even this could do with some diagrams to go 
with the text.  I don't know what the rules are about moving or duplicating 
content on the wiki but as a newbie this is much more useful that PDOP.  I get 
the impression that satellite numbers 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:ConstellationGPS.gif) and positioning in the 
sky is a bigger issue than multipath reflection but might be wrong.  Apparently 
the latter is less of an issue when moving quickly in a car.  Something to be 
added to the section on the in vehicles section? 

I use the BT747 (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/BT747) application for 
talking to the Blumax and converting traces to GPX format.  

Hopefully others will comment as it is good to see these pages being updated 
and make more user friendly for newbies.

Kind Regards

Dudley

Subject: [OSM-newbies] Wiki documentation on GPS devices - please help  answer 
some questions

Hi All,

I have been updating the wiki pages about recording, converting and uploading 
GPS tracks. My aim is to have these 3 pages (record, convert, upload) acting as 
a nice guide.

== Progress so far ==
1. I updated the Upload page [1] to bring it up to date with the fact that 
GPS data is just one part of the picture. The original page was from a time 
when aerial imagery and other data sources were not available. I also moved FAQ 
questions to this page.


2. I rewrote the Making GPX Tracks tool to include the fantastic online 
conversion tool at GPSVisualizer.com (no need to confuse people with GPSBabel 
software). A simple how to for conversion is now prominent at the top of the 
page. Technical details at the bottom.


== Current project - Where I need your help ==
3. I have started to update the page on recording GPS tracks [3]. This is where 
I need your help. There are some obvious questions that should be addressed on 
this page:


* Can I use a iPhone / Android phone? What is the accuracy like? Which Apps are 
best?
* Where should I record tacks? If the answer is anywhere, then where would you 
recommend I focus my attention (e.g. rural roads)? Is this the same globally?


What should the page say in regard to these questions? All thoughts welcome.

== Future ==
Really the page titles should be updated to Recording GPS traces, Converting 
GPS traces and Uploading GPS traces. How do I move the pages without messing 
up the language stuff? Is it possible to mass move all translations at the same 
time?


Regards,
RobJN

I've taken the time and at least on more or less current pages have
redone the edits with a bit a finer brush, essentially with a very small
number of exceptions there should be no noticeable impact on actual
content now.

I'm reaching out to our counsel to see if we can release the CD, but
IMHO it is unlikely. Further I know that the statement has caused some
unease and questions about problematic/unproblematic use of the term in
question and the scope of our request to refrain from using it, I will
again see if we can issue a clarifying statement on that.

  Hi. Regardless of that trademark business, I've checked Simon's edits and

 consist of removing links to google maps, which contain empty
 geocode parameter and them (and many other redundant parameters that
 editors didn't bother to omit). Some of the edits are quite funny, for
 example,
 http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Essex_Waydiff=prevoldid=861689
 (removed a link to display kml with google maps).
 
  I cannot understand why links to google maps have become prohibited
 in our wiki, but there are probably one or two meaningful edits and
 lots of what can be called vandalism. For example, cleaning Copyright
 Easter Eggs pages from links to mentioned easter eggs.
 
  So, I vote for 1) reverting all those edits; 2) explaining in detail
 what is prohibited (what words, which links etc.) and what is not; 3)
 editing wiki more thoroughly, so every edit could be understood.

I thought that a free software project such as Openstreetmap (yes -
geographic data is software too) would have, out of its principles,
shown a stronger backbone under such disgusting pressure. I am disappointed.

The OSMF board's action are the precautionary measures that best protect
the interests of the Openstreetmap project in the strictest sense and in
the short term. But while we may acknowledge the wisdom of precaution
before rash reaction, do we really want to project the image of a

And more important : are those the actions that best foster the spirit

was: geocoding trademark thread

I think Paweł has hit on a key question: does the OSMF have plans to
operate and lead OSM in a more efficient, organized manner or not? And, to
an even more relevant issue: how many people like Paweł show up on the
doorstep and don't bother engaging for the same reasons he mentions?

There's a group working in parallel to put together a strategic plan, in
the absence of one, but doing this without leadership and support from the
top can be problematic. And, no, saying, That's great, go for it, isn't
really support.

I hope Paweł doesn't leave, but I cannot blame him for feeling the way he
feels. His points are on target. Are there any plans in place for OSMF to
address these types of questions by SotM 2013?

Current situation is getting silly to the point that I'm seriously
considering abandoning this project and leaving history tab, vector
tiles and my other projects unfinished just to have peace of mind and
work in a sane project with sane organization behind it like KDE.

On one hand OSMF is telling us they don't want any strategic planning
and involvement, on the other they are redacting and editing data and
wiki. And this is possible mostly because what Andrzej said - that they
host the servers (which I am personally grateful for - to the admins -
no to people who use it for political bullshit like this).

This is NOT how a project should work and you will only discourage
people by doing such stunts.

Either finally get your act together and prepare a proper organization
like KDE e.v (http://ev.kde.org/) or get out of the project and
leave it be. There is still plenty of energy that will fill the void
after you (I'm talking to OSMF).

Not only is all this stuff happening but they also have people who
prepare such a nice quarterly report.

Also note fund raising efforts, expenses and donations, partners, new

This is an organization that actually supports the community in their

What can be done to steer OSMF into that direction? Can it be even done

Hi all, hi Simon,

I tried to wait a day and think about what's been written and to calm
down about this unspeakable issue. But I can't stop myself from 
replying.

I don't mind about the word/trademark GEOCODE, nor do I mind about your
wiki changes. But what makes me furious is your/the OSMF's handling of a
community project.

Simon Poole wrote:

It is unacceptable that an issue like this is/should be processed in a
private manner when in fact everyone in the community is concerned. 
Second, I'd like to see the CD. As a matter of course this should be 
the first thing that happens: Publish the CD before any other actions 
are taken, even before you contact a laywer.

I'm really disappointed and angry about this issue. What happens here is 
not the understanding of a *community project* I have. I'd like the OSMF
to become more democratic and community based. It should be the mappers
that decide and be able to decide (and thereby I don't mean voting some 
members every few years) and not the board. Therefore, it would be a 
great start if OSMF members could file a motion that has to be decided 
on (mine would be to publish the CD ;)). I also still hope, Frederik 
will give a statement in this thread, too.

If I am not mistaken, non of the OSMF board are lawyers. So it is not really
in their realm of expertise to know what will happen legally. However, it is
clear that one wrong move in these legal battles has the potential for
serious consequences either for the individual or OSM(F) as a whole. So it
makes absolute sense that the OSMF board first consults with legal counsel
to be on the safe side! After all, once something is published on the
internet you can't take it back if it turns out to be a mistake.

That said, I very much hope that the letter can be published so that more
people can judge its consequences and for OSM to possibly get some sympathy
PR out of it, as it does seem ridiculous that they would try and forbid the
use of the term geocoding (btw, is it just one spelling that is trademarked
and e.g. geo-coding or geo coding ist fine?).

But then if you look at the fact that e.g. Apple has seemingly managed to
design-patent a device with round edges or that Deutsche Telekom tried to
defend a trademark on the generic colour magenta (which apparently cost a 4
man start-up  over 60.000 EUR in legal fees to defend against and if they
had lost would have cost them in the range of a million EURs), it is clear
that this area of law is illogical, insane and an absolute mine field!

 material point of view, that would be cheap publicity for the project.
 
 I thought that a free software project such as Openstreetmap (yes -
 geographic data is software too) would have, out of its principles,
 shown a stronger backbone under such disgusting pressure. I am
 disappointed.

Do you really want the OSMF to gamble all of OSM's server infrastructure and
other resources on a random legal battle about a possibly invalid trademark?
Particularly without first a thorough due diligence of getting qualified
legal advice from their counsel?

These trademark issues seem have the potential to quickly escalate to
$100.000s of dollars in cost. Either for legal fees or for damage fees if
one looses. That is more or at least on the order of the entire assets of
the OSMF. Is it really worth that risk to show a stronger backbone?
Particularly as it isn't impossible to first comply and then if after
thorough consideration or due to negotiations with the originator the matter
is resolved reinstate those changes.

So far I have seen no changes that actually negatively impact the project in
any real way other than for ideological reasons. So complying in the short
term doesn't seem to be an immediate problem.

That said, I do hope the board will work intensely together with legal
counsel and the rest of the community to find a way to dismiss these
seemingly ridiculous claims (although I don't yet understand what exactly
the issue is or what the CD actually covers).

Given the genericness of the term geocode, I would assume that a number of
larger companies might equally be effected who have much more resources than
OSMF to defend against these claims. Or a another question is what is
different about the use in OSM that they specifically targeted the OSMF?

Couple of people have mentioned the Strategic Working Group[1] to me in

It seems to be an ideal platform for this kind of effort. It looks like
SWG has been inactive for quite a while now:

* Last meeting minutes are from December 2011 [2]
* Last mailing list thread is from September 2012 [3]

I am not sure what are the reasons of this inactivity, whether it is
intentional (OSMF does not want to set the agenda for the future) or
people just don't have the time/energy but regardless of that it looks
like the right place to discuss further.

The initiative that Jeff mentioned is in very early stages, basically
few people got together via e-mail after one of those recent OSM Future
Look threads and we came up with an idea to start a more structured
brainstorming. I think it should be revealed soon how to participate and
what this is exactly.

The most interesting challenge is of course moving from talking to
action, we have some ideas how to avoid degenerating into another
talking initiative. Involving OSMF in some capacity would be another
idea to give the initiative more momentum.

Heck, I'll step up to the board and reply on their behalf if they're all

ChillingEffects should be evidence enough of this. It would be in the 
best interests of demystifying this whole debacle if the notice was 
published immediately, prominently and in full on the OSM web site.


Personally I also wonder as to the legal legitimacy of this CD, 
particularly when it emanates from America and is on behalf of an 
American company whose CTM application was (as has been well noted) 
refused in the EU on absolute grounds (the genericism of geocode).


As far as I can see, Geocode Inc.'s request has absolutely no legal 
weight in the EU. Personally I would have politely acknowledged receipt 
of the original CD, noted their request and replied with we kindly 
refer you to the reply given in the case of Arkell v. Pressdram.


This whole thing is quickly becoming borderline ridiculous. We should't 
be afeared of some marauding American company with the mistaken belief 
that they have exclusive rights to a term even outside of their trade 
mark's jurisdiction. They can fly over here and pursue the matter in an

This discussion is way out of hand. You guys screaming for publishing the C+D,

in publishing it, as well as releasing more information about it. It is not a 
sign of weak leadership to ask for legal advise in a case that can be as hairy

Not that I support trademarking dictionary words, but obviously somebody do, 
and some patent authorities accept. OSMF need to thread correctly into this 
matter, and temporarily removing potentially material is one of the steps. As 
far as I can see, none of SimonPoole's edits are actually redacting the  matter 
in question, his edits are more a first response, like a we have recieved 
your notice and prepare ourself for action. If this case turns toxic maybe 
SimonPoole will have to redact the edits with the contaminated trademark, let 
us hope it never comes to that.

Let us all also work together in this case to show support to OSM and OSMF and 
do what can be done to undermine the claims from the issuer of the C+D in such 
a way that any court cases will tip in favour of OSM continuing what we always 
have done.

I would very much like to see the C+D myself as I find the claims (as far as I 
have understood from the information already leaked) totally unacceptable, but 
have put myself with patience, at least until SimonPoole and OSMF have had time 
to get a formal advise from any legal partner.

But, looking at the CD as a negotiation, it would be foolish to discuss

this, but we'll take $200,000 at the low end, well, that would be silly.
You've just told the other side to offer 200k as a counter.

[OSM-talk] STFU

2013-02-02 Diskussionsfäden Chris Hill
Maybe a few of you braver than the brave, loud-mouthed, armchair lawyers 
should just STFU and give the board a break.


When some of you have had as much abuse and hassle in an unpaid job they 
volunteered for, in their spare time, maybe then you would understand 
how hard it is to please all of the people all of the time. Impossible 
is the answer.


*IF* mistakes have been made, then they are honest mistakes made by 
volunteers who stepped up to the mark to try to make OSM better.


*IF* mistakes have been made, AFAIK no real harm has been done. The 
worst damage so far is to the pompous, over-sensitive We Must Know 
Everything brigade who feel offended because they have not been 
informed of every breath drawn. To them I say: Grow Up. An Open 
community doesn't mean getting an email, text, tweet and personal letter 
every time something happens. That's why we have a board - to deal with 
stuff.


To the board I say, do your best guys and thank you very much for what 
you do and how you do it. Don't be tempted to pick up the toys thrown 
out of prams by a small group of people. That mistake was made during 
licence-change and it just caused more upset. You were elected for a 
term (at least) to do your best, so do it and good luck.


Threats to leave the project remind me of the bullshit thrown around 
during licence-change when hardly anyone actually had the balls to 
follow through. If people are so unhappy then go, but do so quickly and 
quietly and leave the people really interested in OSM to continue making 
the very best map database we can.

I'm not a lawyer with experience in this area, so for me it would make no
sense to take a look at the CD at this moment. If there's such a lawyer
among the readers of this list or in our related friends/family, he/she can
advice the OSMF board directly with the needed level of professional
advice. And maybe such an advice would be that we shouldn't fight, but let
others with more money do the fight. Let OSMF move on to protect the use of
the word and logo Openstreetmap. And let us help OSMF in that to look out
for malicious people who want to abuse our logo and name somewhere in this

I'm extremely interested to see what in the notice specifies that the TM 
holder believes that they can pursue and control usage when mentioned in 
proximity of Google services. It's such a risible request. That's what 
makes this delay so frustrating for the community as a whole!


Those of us in favour of publication are hardly 'screaming' for it. 
(This includes all the 'armchair lawyers' and some of us who have some 
real world experience dealing with the wonderful world of US and 
Community TMs including disputing, filing and applying for invalidity). 
Community members are requesting it as it impacts upon work they do, 
there's no real reason to withhold the text of the notice. OSMF has no 
real requirement to seek legal guidance prior to first publication, this 
can be sought after initial acknowledgment of receipt, tailoring their 
action accordingly.


Redacting or editing directly as a result of simply receiving a CD is 
not an ideal first step. Does OSM consider itself to be in breach of 
something discussed in the CD or that it has actually done something 
wrong? I unequivocally believe the opposite to be true - and that 
Geocode Inc. is misrepresenting the situation.



Not that I support trademarking dictionary words, but obviously somebody do, and some patent

hope it never comes to that.
The USPTO's mark awards have no jurisdiction outside of the States. 
Geocode Inc.'s CTM was 'absolutely refused' on grounds of genericism 
(prior art, if you will), by OHIM. This is an open-and-shut case!



Let us all also work together in this case to show support to OSM and OSMF and 
do what can be done to undermine the claims from the issuer of the C+D in such 
a way that any court cases will tip in favour of OSM continuing what we always 
have done.
I like most others support the OSMF's contribution to the mapping 
projects. OSM has made great progress over the past few years.


There's no need to do anything to undermine the issuer's claims, they 
undermine themselves if they claim trade mark authority in Europe when 
no such authority exists. To fully protect their reg mark, Geocode would 
need to follow the procedures of the Madrid System and apply for an 
International TM to cover ~70 territories where they wish to protect the 
mark (including the USA).


OHIM handle Community Trade Marks for the EU (you can still register a 
mark solely for the UK without it covering the EU which is what it looks 
like Geocode tried to do). With it costing 600 Euros just to renew a CTM 
for ten years, I expect they don't think it's worth their while to file 
for an International trade mark... Given their existing refusal it's 
reasonable to assume they'd never get it. Geocode are trade mark trolling!



I would very much like to see the C+D myself as I find the claims (as far as I 
have understood from the information already leaked) totally unacceptable, but 
have put myself with patience, at least until SimonPoole and OSMF have had time 
to get a formal advise from any legal partner.
Without seeing the specifics of the CD (and now we're talking in 
circles), I still believe that any legal counsel worth their salt would 
instruct OSMF to refer Geocode to the response in Arkell v. Pressdram. 
I'm willing to stake five of the Queen's English pounds on this ;-)


If the legal advice substantially differs, I'll double this £5 then 
donate to the Foundation's fighting fund, and I'll become a paid-up OSMF 
member. May still become an OSMF member to vote in the next Board elections.

By your logic either everyone has to STFU and agree with the actions of

Actually, no, you are twisting my words. The world is not black and 
white, it is shades of gray. There is a a place where you can care about 
OSM and disagree with the board, just not abuse and criticise them them 
for volunteering to do a hard job or threaten to to stop your 
development work out of spite.


Actually, I question just how valuable the work is of someone who uses 
it to threaten the community with withdrawing it if he is a bit upset. I 
prefer to see the work given freely without strings attached - that's 
what I see as what Open means. YMMV.

Everybody volunteers their time and knowledge but the existence of a 
board at OSMF doesn't simply mean that some volunteers are now more 
equal than others. (Organisations frequently rotate through board members.)


Thinking about structure, some discussion should be given as to OSMF 
possibly converting to a co-operative structure - it's the perfect type 
of organisation to benefit from a co-op arrangement, either an IPS 
Mutual, BenCom or even workers co-op. People can be nominated to 
represent the org but ultimately they are answerable to all Members. It 
can also seek investment and those members can also gain one vote 
(irrespective of contribution) in company business.


As it is, OSMF seems notionally answerable to the greater OSM community 
after being nominated to oversee its concerns and become custodian of 
the equipment, run outreach projects, fundraise etc. The board is 
elected by just 358 paid OSMF members from (we can only assume) the OSM 
community (of thousands? Tens of thousands?). The work they do is 
fabulous and contributes to the continuation of OSM but there's still 
not, that I can see, a sufficiently stable framework in place should 
this arrangement change.


If OSMF decided to function differently, selectively disregard the 
community or even operate oligarchically as 'benevolent dictators' what 
could be done? Not much short of an insurrection or establishment of 
parallel service with a new name as they hold all the cards. A worldwide 
project deserves membership representation and answerability of the 
controlling board.


My concern here comes from seeing other community organisations torn 
apart by subsets of nominated people who initially took charge, ran it 
with some vision, decisiveness but when they got cold feet or wanted a 
change, the organisation inevitably ran onto the rocks through lack of 
continuity and attrition. It's often very hard to resurrect a project or 
organisation once it's ground to a halt.

Re: [OSM-talk] Paweł's q: what can be done?

2013-02-02 Diskussionsfäden Frederik Ramm

Pawel,

   you are too impatient, at least too impatient for the occasionally 
glacial pace at which things move in OSM(F).


You have been with OSM for about 6 months now if I'm not mistaken, and 
most of your recent messages (at least most of the messages that reach 
me) are about how and why you might be leaving. Most people take a bit 
longer than that!


You are also jumping to conclusions (OSMF doesn't want to set agenda 
for the future) - maybe OSMF simply wants to think it over?


The work you've done for OSM is undoubtedly of a high standard, and your 
history tab prototype was widely acclaimed. I don't want to diminish 
that effort at all - but I do feel that I need to put in into 
perspective. There are many others who have, over the years, done much 
more work that you have, in their spare time, and who haven't after only 
six months sent lots of emails about having to abandon all their work if 
OSMF doesn't finally manage to implement strategic planning or so.


In fact, for most coders, what OSMF does or doesn't to was quite 
irrelevant. It seems that in your particular case you see a connection 
between coding for OSM and the OSMF because ultimately you would like to 
get paid for your work, and you don't see OSMF paying developers without 
a strategic plan. Is that reading correct, or do you simply fear that 
without a strategically planning organisation the OSM project will die 
and your contributions with it?


You have, several times, mentioned KDE e.V. as a good example. I looked 
at their quarterly report and indeed, personally I would quite approve 
of OSMF going in that direction. It seems that the KDE people are 
spending a lot of money to facilitate meetings between volunteer 
developers, paying for flights and accomodation and such. Of course they 
are a software development project, whereas in OSM the software 
development is only one part of several, but still, things like paying 
for a developer to fly to a code sprint or so sounds like something that 
would make sense. But even though software development is at the core of 
the KDE project, KDE e.V. doesn't pay for coding work as far as I can 
see; their staff is administrative only.


Also, KDE e.V. is now 15 years old, the OSMF is 7; you should be looking 
at KDE e.V. documents from 2005 to make a fair comparison ;) - but even 
back then they had a nice quarterly report: 
http://ev.kde.org/reports/ev-quarterly-2005Q3.pdf


Finally, I am somewhat puzzled by the connection that you (and also 
Jeff) seem to make between the perceived lack of planning and the 
current trademark issue that spawned the thread. You wrote



On one hand OSMF is telling us they don't want any strategic planning
and involvement, on the other they are redacting and editing data and
wiki.


And Jeff followed up:


I think Paweł has hit on a key question: does the OSMF have plans to operate 
and lead OSM in a more efficient, organized manner or not?


In what way would an organisation with great strategic planning, one 
that is efficient and organised, handle such a trademark issue 
differently? In how far is the current trademark issue a sign of lack of 
planning? I really don't get it. Is there a connection between these 
issues that goes beyond both are issues where the OSMF is criticised by 
some?


Bye

personal opinion.)

Communication is hard, and there are ways to do it that make people feel like

accidentally-open door. Simon's mail left out a lot of important things, most 
notably that he's a member of the OSMF Board and that it was an official 
statement.

Dear OSM Contributors,

We at the OSM Foundation have recently received a cease  desist letter from 
Geocode, Inc. of Alexandria, Virginia, USA regarding the use of links 
displaying the Google geocoding service on the wiki. We have consulted with our 
legal counsel, and they have advised us to remove these links from all 
OSMF-owned domains. While we believe that Geocode's claims are without merit, 
we have decided that the potential negative impact of Geocode's actions 
outweighs the benefits of keeping those links on the wiki. [detailed 
description of potential negative outcomes].

We will be watching all future edits to the wiki to ensure that new references 
to the Google geocoding service are not introduced to the site. Editors 
attempting to add these links will be automatically referred to this message 
explaining why their edits have been rejected. [link to this message on an 
OSMF-controlled blog or domain].

We will be responding to Geocode Inc. and contacting Google Inc. to [do 
whatever happens next].

We apologize for the drastic nature of this action, but we feel that the 
[detailed description of potential negative outcomes] is an unacceptable risk 
to the mission of OpenStreetMap, and outweighs the adverse impact of removing 
the problem links. As a representative of the board on this issue, I will be 
available to discuss it [on email, IRC, conference call, whatever].

-Sincerely, Joe Q. Boardmember
OpenStreetMap Foundation.

That's encouraging to hear. I haven't kept up with OSMF discussions for

OSM is complex.  We do have differing aims and things are not black and
white.   I took a civil service middle management course once that talked
about personalities and management.  For simplicity we can split them into
type A and type B.  Type B's where more likely to achieve their goals, they
had lower staff turnover, their staff were happier and where better at
handling complex problems.  Type A were more forceful but less likely to
communicate and seek input.  Their projects were more likely to fail.  From
my computer background the larger the project the higher the failure rate.
What is interesting is smaller projects have a higher rate of success.  So
we can expect projects that are limited in scope to do quite well.  Adding
a new sort of asset to OSM for example.
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mapping_projects is a good example.

Perhaps what we need is a newsletter to improve communications?  If we are
reliant on volunteers then directive counseling or telling them to STFU
may not be the most productive way to get the most out of them.

 OHIM handle Community Trade Marks for the EU (you can still register a mark

[Talk-de] Wiki-Probleme

2013-02-02 Diskussionsfäden Andreas Neumann

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
 
Moin,

abgesehen davon, dass die Wiki vor ein paar Nächten gar nicht erreichbar
war, habe ich derzeit einige Probleme mit ihr:

1. mit HTTPS nur unzureichend nutzbar.
Schalte ich in meinem Chrome HTTPS fürs Wiki an (ok, macht
HTTPS-Everywhere automatisch), wird die Seite nicht vollständig geladen.
Chrome verhindert das nachladen unsicherer Elemente. Leider sind ein
Script und mehrere StyleSheets hart codiert via HTTP eingebunden :(

2. Multilinguale-Templates nicht einbindbar
Normalerweise binde ich ein Template über {{Vorlagenname}} in eine Seite
ein. Wenn ich ein Map Features für eine andere Sprache erstelle, so wird
das Sprachkürzel zu Beginn des Vorlagenname geschrieben (Template:DE:Map
Features:office). Wenn ich aber nun versuche {{DE:Map Features:office}}
einzubinden, versucht das Templatesystem des Wikis die Seite DE:Map
Features:office einzubinden, die nicht existiert. Erst durch
voranstellen des Namensraumes {{Template:DE:Map Features:office}} ist
das Problem gelöst :(

MfG Andreas

Hey

 Werde jetzt doch mal auch auf talk@osm posten und mache mich bereit zumindest
 die Zentralen Azoren zu revertieren.

 Ich kann das auch uebernehmen, aber ich moechte gern einen stichhaltigen Grund
 dafuer haben.

Danke, reiße mich nicht um den Job.

 Dass Nodekiller die Aktion nicht vorher diskutiert hat, ist nicht in Ordnung
 und hat ihm eine Verwarnung eingebracht und die eindringliche Bitte, sowas in
 Zukunft zu unterlassen.

Was ist mit den Edits die zur immer noch gültigen Sperre geführt haben.

 Wenn die Edits in den zentralen Azoren wirklich die Daten verschlechtert 
 haben,
 dann koennen wir sie auch revertieren. Aber wir sollten nicht aus Prinzip
 revertieren (so nach dem Motto: Der hat aus dem 500-Node-Way 100 geloescht, 
 das
 MUSS ja eine Verschlechterung bedeuten). Denn in dem Fall ist die Gefahr 
 gross,
 dass man durch den Revert zahlreiche unnoetige Nodes wieder einfuehrt.

Wie schon geschrieben:
Auf Pico und Faial haben sich die highways verschlechtert. Die Küstenlinien kann
man wohl vernachlässigen wobei es meistens Steilküste ist und die Gezeiten in
der Mitte des Ozeans auch nicht so ins Gewicht fallen.

Die anderen Inseln habe ich mir nicht so genau angeschaut bzw kenne ich mich da
auch nicht aus. Wobei bisher auch nur Mapper auf talk-de@osm informiert wurden
oder wurde das Problem auch noch wo anders berichtet?

Leider fehlt es mir an der Infrastruktur dies hier deutlich zu demonstrieren.

 Also - Revertieren aus Qualitaetsgruenden ist ok, Revertieren aus Prinzip ist
 eine Ausnahme, zu der wir nur bei besonders dreisten Faellen greifen.

Danke Frederik, ich habe schon verstanden. Belastet halt auch alles die Server
und ist Arbeit.

Finde allerdings ein Edit der zB den veralteten Tag building=entrance durch
entrance=yes ersetzt wesentlich angenehmer als jemand der daher kommt und
einfach mal Löscht und dann jegliche Kommunikation verweigert oder verschwindet.

Habe leider immer noch keine überzeugendes Argument für die großflächigen Edits
gehört. Mir hat er folgende Fragen nicht beantwortet:

 * What was your intense by simplifying. (Did you try some tool ?)
 * Why did you choose these islands.
 * Are you getting around on these islands.
 * Why didn't you first try to get into contact before doing these mechanical
edits.

Die Server wird es erst mal nicht entlasten. Vielleicht hat er Dir ja mehr
geschrieben.

[Talk-de] Neues von maps.osm2world.org

2013-02-02 Diskussionsfäden Tobias Knerr
Hallo,

es gibt Neues von unserer 3D-Slippymap zu berichten. Die auffälligste
Änderung zuerst: Ab jetzt ist die Karte offiziell für ganz Deutschland
verfügbar.

http://maps.osm2world.org

Auch auf den zweiten Blick sind aber noch einige Neuerungen zu
entdecken, die wir in den letzten Monaten ergänzt haben. Beispielsweise
funktionieren jetzt Multipolygone mit mehreren outer-Ways korrekt, so
dass auch größere Seen und Waldstücke korrekt dargestellt werden.
OSM2World kann außerdem Küstenlinien verarbeiten - jetzt, wo wir nicht
mehr nur Bayern rendern, konnten wir uns nicht mehr um dieses Thema
drücken. ;) Andere neue Features in OSM2World, von denen die Slippymap
profitiert, sind u.a. die Darstellung von Hochspannungsmasten sowie
etliche weitere Kleinigkeiten wie Apfelbäume und verbesserte
Gebäudetexturen.

In der Ansicht nach Norden ist seit einer Weile die Höhenschummerung von
Hike  Bike Map sichtbar. Auch die Seite selber haben wir etwas
aufpoliert und ein Suchfeld sowie einen Link zum direkten Bearbeiten in
JOSM ergänzt.

Alles ist noch nicht perfekt: Wir sind noch nicht auf die neueste
OpenLayers-Version umgestiegen und auch an der Darstellung des Meeres
werden wir noch arbeiten.

Wir bemühen uns, dass alle Kacheln mindestens einmal in der Woche auf
den neuesten Stand gebracht werden. Der aktuelle Stand kann wie gewohnt
in der About-Seite und im Timestamp-Overlay begutachtet werden. Wie
bisher nehmen wir auch weiterhin Wünsche zu kleineren Gebieten außerhalb
Deutschlands entgegen, dafür haben wir noch Kapazitäten frei.

Gruß,
Tobias

PS: Wer noch Motivation braucht, kann einen Blick auf Gebiete werfen, wo
Mapper bereits mit 3D-Mapping begonnen haben, zum Beispiel ...

* Graz

Da ist vermutlich auch kein Fehler in den Daten. Dieser Effekt entsteht
durch einen Bug bei der Kreuzungsflächen-Schätzung von OSM2World, der
leider an manchen Nodes auftritt - häufig bei Ways, die in relativ
spitzem Winkel zusammentreffen.

Apri con JOSM la traccia (apri JOSM, trascini la traccia nell'area e si
apre, poi scarichi i dati sopra, dovrebbe capire da solo l'area, altrimenti
clicchi col destro sulla traccia e dovrebbe esserci un scarica dati intorno
alla traccia).
Se ricordo bene (lo facevo con le foto) dovrebbero apparirti anche dei
marcatori lungo la traccia che se clicchi ti aprono il file corrispondente
(a patto che tu li abbia compiati insieme alla traccia).

C'era una relazione turn restriction sbagliata, l'ho corretta! Penso fosse
quello il problema
(in pratica diceva che l'uscita della rotonda poteva condurre solo a
rientrare sulla rotonda)

+1, si, vedi un po' quanto siano attendibili (precise) e quanti punti
sono registrati (ogni secondo, o peggio ogni tot di metri). Poi vedi
tu. Personalmente considero le tracce che ottengo tramite cellulare
(sia iPhone 4S che SonyEricsson) non sufficienti (di qualità) per
caricarli sul portale OSM, gli uso in locale però se non ho
alternative ;-)
Generalmente credo che per cose che si vedono nelle foto aeree le
tracce gpx di un cellulare non ti servono a niente, ma potrei essere
contradetto dallo sviluppo dei cellulari (non lo sò, perchè la parte
cruciale è l'antenna del GPS che pratticamente non è mai buono per
motivi di priorità, esigenza e di spazio disponibile). Forse se hai un
logger esterno che colleghi tramite bluetooth la situazione cambia.

Se ho capito bene, non hai convertito la traccia in layer osm, ma la stai
usando x controllare i dati preesistenti.
Per spezzare la strada:

devi passare dal modo selezione (tasto s) a quello editore (tasto a),
quindi fare Click sx nel punto quando josm evidenzia la way; ciò creerà un
nodo appartenente alla way

tasto p spezzerà la way e potrai editare i due pezzi indipendentemente

 poi c'e' una rotonda che hanno appena aperto, come faccio ad aggiungerla??

Se la già traccia ha punti sufficienti, puoi convertirla in layer osm,
editarlo a dovere e caricare sul planet :)

Finetra dei layer seleziona il gpx click dx e trasforma

seleziona il punto dove vuoi spezzare e fai p
dovresti stare attento nel caso che ci siano delle relazioni (lo vedi
in proprietà) che dopo lo spezzamento sono ancora a posto.
Per una introduzione in JOSM guarda il wiki.


JOSM gira su java, quindi lo puoi usare su ogni piattaforma con java.
Per Linux consiglio lo script di cobra:

https://github.com/cobra/josm-update-script (nel conf metti version=latest)


 poi c'e' una rotonda che hanno appena aperto, come faccio ad aggiungerla??


fai un way che collega 2 lati opposti (il centro della strada) e poi
premi o. Aggiungi tags (alt+a): junction=roundabout highway=* name=*
...
controlla il verso e inverti il senso se necessario. poi la connetti
alle strade esistenti ;-)

[Talk-it] Rimuoviamo i tags name=fixme dalle strade?

2013-02-02 Diskussionsfäden Groppo O
Sulla mappa ci sono un po' di strade (~450) taggate con name=fixme o
name=FIXME.

Uno a caso:
Girare a destra su FIXME
http://osrm.at/2fC

Come già detto in lista in passato (non trovo più il thread), è sbagliato
taggare così le vie prive di nome, tanto più adesso che  esistono dei siti
che le segnalano comodamente, come:
http://qa.poole.ch/?zoom=6lat=41.70699lon=12.68095layers=TFB0

Forse risalgono ad un po' di tempo fa. Il loro numero non sembra calare,
quindi non penso esistano o siano attivi bot che rimuovono automaticamente
questi tag.

Cosa ne facciamo?

A) Niente, lasciamoli lì. Così possiamo riparlarne un'altra volta... ;-)

B) Cambiamo name=fixme in fixme=name?.

C) Cancelliamo name=fixme e basta, o dovremmo aggiungere nel fixme anche
tutti gli altri tag potenziali (cit. Martin, nel thread che non ritrovo).

Bisognerebbe capire cosa si intendeva con questo tag: che il nome è da

Quello che mi fa preferire la lista ai fixme è che (visto che comunque 
non si parla di tag sbagliati ma da precisare) è più veloce aggiungere 
un tag dove serve, scorrendo la mappa, piuttosto che rimuovere tanti 
fixme uno ad uno; e non si corre il rischio che qualcuno carichi 
numerosi fixme perché si è dimenticato di toglierli.


Ok, vada per la lista dei controlli.

[Talk-it] Utilizzo del Suolo - Suggerimenti e critiche per le regole di conversione

2013-02-02 Diskussionsfäden Leonardo

Ciao a tutti,

ho provato a fare un test di conversione utilizzando le regole fissate 
fino ad oggi e a controllare il risultato su JOSM. Ho scelto uno dei 
casi peggiori ovvero Padova. La prima conversione da è andata senza 
nessun problema, ho riproiettato su QGIS e trasformato con shp-to-osm. 
Il risultato finale sono stati 3 file osm (shp-to-osm spezza i file 
troppo grossi in alcuni più piccoli) che ho aperto in JOSM e controllati 
con il validatore.


-Circa 8000 nodi sovrapposti e altri 2 nodi duplicati di altro 
genere sono stati corretti automaticamente senza nessun intoppo (spero 
abbiate un pc decente perchè il validatore è tosto su file così! :) ).


-Fondere i livelli è una cosa abbastanza veloce anche se inchioda 
letteralmente il PC.


-È necessario applicare un tag a tutti i poligoni, anche solo note o 
fixme perché altrimenti JOSM si lamenta di Chiave non valida - Valori 
di tag vuoti.


-Ci sono circa 220 percorsi sovrapposti. Sembrano tanti ma in realtà per 
uno shape di queste dimensioni sono veramente pochi e rapidamente 
sistemabili (certi fabbric scaricati dal geoportale arrivavano persino a 
400 e passa percorsi sovrapposti da sistemare uno ad uno, causati da uno 
shp originale fatto malissimo!).


-Se avessi dovuto caricare il file convertito sarebbero stati 55.175 
elementi spediti al server OSM, suddividendoli in pacchetti da 250 (come 
faccio di solito) avrebbero necessitato di 221 richieste al server. Il 
mio record fino ad ora era stato 125 :D


In conclusione dobbiamo finire la stesura delle regole e pensare a chi 
potrebbe effettuare l'import di file così grossi e delicati perché se 
non va a buon fine (salta la corrente, errore di connessione...) il 
revert del changeset potrebbe essere un vero inferno! Possiamo anche 
pensare a caricare i vari shape dei landuse raggruppati per categoria 
(es. prima tutti i landuse orchard, poi tutti gli industrial, ecc).


Leonardo

P.s. invito tutti ad aggiornare JOSM all'ultima versione stabile (la 
5608 a questo momento) perché è stato riscritto il validatore, 
ottimizzandolo nella ricerca e correzione degli errori.

Re: [Talk-it] [Osmveneto] Organizzazione Import Utilizzo del Suolo dal Geoportale Veneto

2013-02-02 Diskussionsfäden Leonardo

Ciao,

fatto un test su Montebelluna dato che presenta anche un ospedale, delle 
scuole e dei parchi. Allora il risultato non è male, c'è un pò da 
lavorare post conversione ma niente di estremo. La maggior parte dei 
terreni segnati come 12130 Aree destinate a servizi pubblici, militari e 
privati e 11300 Classi di tessuto urbano speciali controllandole con 
Bing/PCN sono scuole, ospedali o altre categorie che si può provare a 
desumere sia dai dati già importati (fabbric, dati precedentemente 
caricati da altri utenti). Comunque necessitano di un fixme o note (es. 
controllare tramite bing/PCN), non lasciamo niente scoperto (tranne gli 
oceani/mari e le zone a rischio incendio).


Il riallineamento sarà OBBLIGATORIO (sottolineato in rosso, grassetto e 
a carattere 72 :) )!!!


Gli shape convertiti sono troppo discostati rispetto alla PCN, direi di 
utilizzare quest'ultima per sistemare il file.


Direi anche di aggiungere un note sulle varie densità del landuse 
residenziale, non si sa mai che in futuro OSM sviluppi un tag 
appropriato. In linea di massima cerchiamo di tenere più informazioni 
possibili dai dati originali, senza generalizzare troppo i tag.


Infine direi di importare solo i riquadri in cui sono già stati 
importati i file fabbric.shp per un motivo logistico: quando si va a 
convertire il file, prima dell'upload dei dati dei fabbricati c'è la 
necessità di scaricarsi i dati già presenti in quel riquadro e se ce ne 
sono troppi già presenti il server rifiuterà la richiesta, obbligando a 
scaricare zone molto più piccole e creando difficoltà nella pulizia 
pre-import.


Quindi chiederei gentilmente di permettere l'upload solo delle zone zone 
già coperte dagli edifici. Per controllare ciò basta guardare la mappa 
fatta da Groppo O 
(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/41550819/OSM/Overlay_CTR_OSM/Overlay_CTR_OSM.html), 
selezionando fabbricati dalla colonna di destra.


Se qualcuno volesse contribuire ad accelerare l'import dei fabbricati, 
anche solo nel convertire gli shape e senza successivo upload, mi contatti!

I agree that advocacy with all levels of government is important.  They
seem in general to be interested, and to listen politely, but often to not
understand that creating a new license is poison to open data.  So it is
important to keep talking with them, more and more of them, until they
comprehend.  Data law is relatively new, in terms of law.  Data law is
applied unevenly by countries.  The very nature of data demands mixing
with other data sets.  This means that explicit and careful drafting of a
license is required so that it will work everywhere without accidentally
discriminating against a potential user.

I disagree that ODbL is the right license for municipalities or other
governments.

ODbL is absolutely the right license for OSMF and the OSM community. OSMF
must serve the OSM community of mappers, and the share alike provision is
important to a substantial portion of the mapping community.  ODbL
deliberately discriminates against those who would take ODbL data, improve
it, and not share the improvements.  That is an important and deliberate
feature of the ODbL license

Governments must serve all of their citizens, even those who would not
choose to share.  The ODbL share alike provision is not suitable for
government publishers who mush serve both their sharing and non-sharing
constituents.  I recommend that governments publish their open data under
ODC PDDL.  PDDL allows use, not just in OSM, but in any open data project.
PDDL allows use, not just in open data projects, but in closed commercial
projects that chose not to share at all.  PDDL allows use in all
jurisdictions with established data law, but also in jurisdictions where
data law is not recognized and copyright law is used to fill the gaps.

Governments must serve a broader audience than the OSMF must serve.
OpenDataCommons recognize that one Open Data license is not sufficient, and
have drafted a suite of licenses.  Their licenses are drafted to be
compatible, so that PDDL data can be included in ODbL data sets.

Advocating that governments publish open data under PDDL _should_ be easier
than advocating for ODbL because publishing under PDDL is good for OSM, but
also good for any other potential use of the data.  So, those advocates
should be seen as not simply advocating something for the benefit of their
own pet project, OSM, but for the benefit of all potential open data
users.  To advocate that governments support only one specific open data
project, even a project as wonderful as OpenStreetMap, could be seen as
mere self-interest, rather than enlightened advocacy.

Bonjour  all

To add my comments on this topic, I never add ordinary sidewalks except if
they are physically separated from the street (not adjacent to). If I had
to map them, I would use sidewalk:* tags.

I still think as Richard wrote: I have roads and other things to map; I'll
worry about sidewalks later. However, having this sidewalk wonderings only
means is that the map is really getting detailed!

 

Cheers,

Daniel

 Bylo mi tam něco doporučeno a tak jsem to zkusil (pomáhal jsem si
 i OSM Wiki).
 Problém je, že trasa nebyla vykrelena, tag kct_green - yes byl zanesen,
 ale v mapě nebyla.
 Po mne to někdo (konkrétně uživatel wizz) předělal, tag kct smazal a
 vytvořil
 trasu.
 Ta je již vykreslena v mapách korektně.
 Jak tedy správně zanést turistické cesty?

 Díky za odpovědi.

Křížení železnice a silnice může být buď mimoúrovňové, nebo tam může být 
přejezd.

V prvním případě nesmí být mezi oběma liniemi žádný společný bod a na 
komunikaci, která je výš se vyznačí most tak, že se tato komunikace na 
koncích mostu rozdělí a mostní úsek se vyznačí jako bridge=yes + layer=
1.


V druhém případě tam naopak společný bod být musí, a tem má být otagovaný 
jako crossing/level_crossing.

Pokud není při mapování známé, jak se komunikace kříží, tak je nejlepší to 
udělat bez společného bodu a mostů - ale potom samozřejmě bude validátor 
hlásit problém.




Turistické trasy by se měli značit pomocí relace route (1), práce s nimi 
je popsána na 2 a 3. Tagování turistických relací je, jak píše Tomáš na 4; 
jak píše Martin, je nutné zahrnout mezi relační tagy i osmc:symbol.




Prosím všechny, aby pro značení tras používali relace a tagování přímo na 
waye požívali jen opravdu v odůvodněných případech (například pokud je znám 
pouze malý zlomek trasy). Taky prosím, aby si zkontrolovali, jestli není 
trasa přerušená byť jen kratičkými vynechanými úseky (v editoru relací v 
JOSM stačí trasu seřadit tlačítkem nalevo).

Předmět: [Talk-cz] Dva dotazy

Ahoj,
potřeboval bych poradit s těmito záležitostmi:

1) V našem městě je viadukt, na kterém vede železnice a pod mostem
prochází silnice.
Problém je, že KeepRight mi hlásí chybu chybějící tag railway.
Nemohu dam přece dát crossing (pro chodce) ani level_crossing 
(nejedná se o přejezd).
Pokud smažu křížení cest, to mi zase JOSM hlásí varování překřížené cesty.
Jak toto korektně zanést?

2) Jak zanést turistické trasy? Už jsem tu kdysi měl dotaz, ale ten 
už někde zapadl.
Bylo mi tam něco doporučeno a tak jsem to zkusil (pomáhal jsem si 
i OSM Wiki).
Problém je, že trasa nebyla vykrelena, tag kct_green - yes byl zanesen, 
ale v mapě nebyla.

vytvořil 
trasu.

[OSM-talk-fr] [forum-osm-fr] Tag pour Direction générale des Finances publiques

2013-02-02 Diskussionsfäden forum

Bonjour,



Je me pose la question suivante:

Comment tagger les batiments de la Direction générale des Finances publiques



En fait les bâtiments qui importent vraiment sont ceux qui reçoivent du public 
(là où l'on doit faire des démarches).



Wikipedia: 
[url:http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direction_g%C3%A9n%C3%A9rale_des_Finances_publiques]Direction
 générale des Finances publiques[/url]



Par Google, je suis tombé sur deux exemples:

* Grenoble: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/43471859

* Avignon: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/83770584



Un des deux exemples utilise 
[url=http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dpublic_building]amenity=public_building[/url],
 mais le wiki indique que ce n'est pas une bonne idée.



Bref à Mulhouse pour le bâtiment:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/133153891



Je voudrais indiquer quelque chose comme Finances publiques, mais je ne sais 
pas ce qui est correct.

 Il faut suivre les intérêts des 70% de la population mondiale qui habite

Sur ce point je suis très dubitatif...
Je suis pas sur que tu puisses te faire, aussi radicalement,
l'interprète de l'intérêt de 70% de la population mondiale ;-)

Plus sérieusement, l'intérêt d'une cartographie est aussi d'être
relativement homogène. Lorsqu'il manque des routes entre des coins (même
un peu a l'écart) c'est dommageable pour la qualité globale de la carte
et son usage, AMHA.
C'est valable pour d'autre éléments que le voirie.

Re: [OSM-talk-fr] Cantons : tracés suivant les limites d'anciennes communes

2013-02-02 Diskussionsfäden Christian Quest
Nous sommes plusieurs à avoir mis ces découpages d'anciennes communes en
admin_level=10 comme si il s'agissait de quartiers.

admin_level=9 n'est à utiliser que pour les arrondissements municipaux
(Paris, Lyon, Marseille).

Pour conserver le ref:INSEE, un old_ref:INSEE est sûrement une solution (je
crois que c'est ce que j'ai mis).

  Bonjour,
  Pas mal de cantons continuent de suivre les limites communales
 d'anciennes
  communes, et qui ont depuis fusionné avec une autre commune. Où trouver
 les
  limites communales de ces anciennes communes ? Notre outil
  cadastre.openstreetmap.fr ne semble pas les proposer...

 Moi je me pose la question du fait que les communes nouvelles de 2013
 résultant d'une fusion ont encore conservé leur nom et leurs limites
 aux communes déléguées ou associées qui persistent même s'il n'y a
 plus qu'un seul conseil municipal fusionné, et que malgré cela on a
 viré les anciennes relations au lieu de les changer de niveau (9?) ou
 de les garder sans niveau défini (ou alors old_admin_level=8; avec des
 tags pour indiquer le statut actuel, susceptible d'évolutions mineures
 à l'occasion du redessin de certains quartiers avec des microfragments
 frontaliers réunis au sein des nouvelles communes déléguées ou
 associées)

 Comment sont modélisées les communes associées et déléguées dans OSM
 ??? Ont-elles encore des frontières bien définies ou persistent-elles
 seulement sur la carte des agglomérations, qui ne sont pas
 nécessiarement bien joitives au sein d'une même commune, avec des
 espaces ruraux réunis dans la nouvelle commune fusionnée mais plus
 attribués à une commune associée ou déléguée ?

 Je trouve qu'on a été trop rapide à supprimer les anciens tracés,
 alors qu'on aurait pu changer les statuts pour ne pas les confondre
 avec les communes nouvelles actuelles.
