Re: [talk-au] Possible illegal imports in Western Australia (Andy Townsend)
sed in the response, which in itself would be a killer. It depends if it's part of the license or a reminder that in Australia there are other laws that may effect what you can do with the data. If it's the former, the data is not available under CC BY 4.0 or an open license and they're falsely advertising that the data is available under an open license. If it's a reminder then it doesn't add any new requirements. If they want it to be a reminder, I'd suggest wording like Users are reminded that the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) may impose additional restrictions on how they use the data. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I have completed country NSW and ACT. These were checked with the Ozie post website to 'see' if they were still current.. where not I tagged them obsolete:amenity=post_office ... so they won't render but still be in the data base for others to see. I have yet to complete the Sydney, Wollongong and Newcastle areas. I have added addresses from the LPI base map where I could determine it, a few of these differed from the Ozie post data .. but either not significantly, or if there is doubt then I included a fixme tag. All of my additions have a source tag. I did notice that the past OSM post offices entries had some short comings - no name, name=Australia Post .. and almost certainly no address. Of course I did not replace these .. even where the LPI data indicated a displacement of over 80 metres .. I regarded that as close enough for walking distance. One was tagged source survey .. but it is over the road in another building .. connected by a covered bridge .. left that one there too .. but added name. Once completed I will go back over my obsolete:amenity entries to confirm that they are in fact obsolete ... I have noticed some exceptions due to the way the Ozie post web search operates. :-! So once I finish .. then there are lots more to do. Libraries, tourist offices, police stations for example. If you want to do areas .. then parks, as in city/town parks? For addresses then adding that to the major population centres streets would be helpfull. What will I add next to the map? From the LPI data .. something of use to me (i.e. none of the above :-) ). For 'housekeeping' on the map? sport=football sport=multi and sport=hockey still annoy me but they have little impact on the map. Yet to clarify the city/town/hamlet problem for Australia... I need to work on the data, particularly the population data. Yes, I know some think that services is a better way .. but I still think that the population gives a very good indication and can be used as a primary iteration of the classification. And will identify those that need 'looking at'. For the OSMwiki .. Document sport=long_jump, tipple_jump, discus_throw and hammer_throw. Clarify the words on the Australian tagging guide lines for 'access=no' problem, probably more important than the sports documentation? -- Subject: Digest Footer ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au -- End of Talk-au Digest, Vol 109, Issue 16 ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
Re: [talk-au] Wikidata IDs in OSM
I guess you are aware that one of the recent updates of iD adds the wikidata code when you add the wikipedia page ? The feature is described in https://www.mapbox.com/blog/id-wikidata/ This makes it rather easy to add both tag. It will also search for the wikipedia page when you start typing the wikipedia page name regards On Mon, Jul 18, 2016 at 2:49 PM, Andrew Harvey wrote: >> Secondly, we have had success in using a bot to add IDs automatically, >> but the bot approval list requires local agreement.

Interesting, I recently had a go at adding Wikidata IDs into OSM for some features in Australia, but I quickly gave up on the manual process. I'm keen an an automated/semi-automated approach, but of course it would be important that any automated process didn't overwrite existing wikidata keys (but maybe reported them for follow up if they are in conflict). Interested in what others here think. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
[talk-au] Wikidata IDs in OSM
Hi folks, Up here in the UK, and elsewhere, we're adding Wikidata IDs to objects in OSM. For example: http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/22814079 includes the ID "Q5642705", which refers to: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5642705 Firstly, I'd like to encourage you to add IDs manually, as described at: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:wikidata Secondly, we have had success in using a bot to add IDs automatically, but the bot approval list requires local agreement. How would you feel about us, or one of you (I think the code can be shared), doing so for all of Australia, or on a state-by-state (or other division) basis? -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
