Re: [talk-au] Rock Overhangs

[Roger Browne]

I've never been happy about "natural=cave_entrance", yet I have used it
several times because it seems to be the least bad of the tags currently in
use.

The use of "amenity' is just wrong, because an amenity is something that is
provided for a purpose (such as a cafe, bicycle parking, a charging
station, a table, etc):
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:amenity
Furthermore, every other type of "shelter" has a deliberately-constructed
roof (hut, picnic shelter, changing shed, sunshade, etc).

A rock overhang is something natural that just exists. To my mind it
absolutely belongs under "natural". The ideal would simply be
"natural=rock_overhang". A map should tell it like it is, and not
complicate things by trying to "fit a square shelter_type into a round
amenity".

Roger.

[talk-au] Importing Hobsons Bay City Council tree data into OSM

[David Sisourath]

Hi,

I intend to import tree data in the Hobsons Bay LGA into OSM.

The data has been verified by myself with aerial imagery and DELWP/VicMap 
boundaries.

I will be importing small squares of data at a time, including the tree 
circumference, species (if known) or genus (if species unknown). Tree 
circumference in the data are grouped by ranges of 150mm. I have taken the 
maximum of these ranges to be the circumference in my code.

A source tag will be attached to each tree node imported, 
source=data.gov.au:Hobsons Bay City Council, and also on the relevant 
changesets.

A waiver has been signed by Hobsons Bay and is available on both the Australian 
Data Catalogue page and the 
Contributors
 page.

Any questions or feedback regarding the import would be highly appreciated, 
including whether the approach to the circumference tag, and source tag is 
acceptable.


Regards,

David

Re: [talk-au] Street address: Corner

[Dion Moult]

Through the address import project, you should be able to see what is the legal 
address of that plot. If it hasn't been imported yet, try the download script 
in that suburb and check there perhaps?
