Re: [OSM-talk-be] privacy ed

2020-05-16 Thread Marc Gemis
According to 
https://www.gegevensbeschermingsautoriteit.be/recht-op-afbeelding-de-privacywet-algemeen,

"Toch geldt de Privacywet niet altijd. Beelden voor louter
persoonlijke of huishoudelijke doeleinden, zoals een familiealbum
aanleggen of privéopnames maken bij een sportmanifestatie, is de
wetgeving niet van toepassing. Wanneer die beelden op het internet
worden gezet, overstijgt dit de persoonlijke of huishoudelijke
doeleinden omdat de beelden verstrekt worden aan een onbeperkt aantal
personen, waardoor de Privacywet wel van toepassing is."

So IMHO you can still take a picture of a street with people, go home,
map whatever you see on the picture and delete it (or keep it in or
personal archive). The privacy law is not applicable then.
My idea is that the focus of the photo is not on the people, but on
the environment when one makes photos for mapping purposes.

Re: [OSM-talk-be] privacy ed

Hello,

I see no difference between contributing to OpenStreetMap via JOSM and
iD or StreetComplete.
Mapping a house, street, waste bin, etc. will not break any privacy.
We do not map the names of the inhabitants of a house. Mapping items
from someone's garden based on aerial imagery might be on the
borderline of what is allowed. However, I do map sheds, ponds and
swimming pools.

Taking pictures of people is not a problem, it's what you do with them
afterwards that is important. If you use the image yourself and map
the things you see on them from your PC, it doesn't matter that there
are people.
If you post the image on a public website (as you do via
StreetComplete), you have to make sure that there are no people or
that their faces are blurred (e.g. uploading to Mapillary is OK I
think).

Of course, you cannot enter private grounds.

 Hallo,

 Het hangt er van af hoe lang de wijziging geleden is.
 Als het vrij recent is (enkele dagen), kan je de geschiedenis van een 
 gebied opvragen (de geschiedenis knop op de hoofdpagina).
 Maar deze wijziging lijkt langer geleden te zijn, dus valt dit moeilijk te 
 bespeuren.

 Wat je wel kan is bekijken welke objecten waarschijnlijk ook gewijzigd 
 zijn bij die aanpassing (zoals het fietspad dat nu gebruikt wordt).

 

 Als je dat fietspad selecteert, en de geschiedenis opvraagt, dan kom je 
 hier terecht: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/24520913/history

 Er is dus in de laatste maanden tamelijk wat aangepast aan het pad.  In 
 het bijzonder zie ik een wijziging van 4 maand geleden met het commentaar 
 "cycleroute 03-04 update: broken (again), now due to missing segments". 
 Wat er op wijst dat iemand er voor die regio heeft aangepast, zonder 
 rekening te houden met de relaties.

 Het is dus waarschijnlijk niet 1 iemand die de relatie verlegd heeft, maar 
 iemand heeft dat pad verwijderd, en iemand anders heeft de relatie opnieuw 
 verbonden met de bestaande paden...

 Mvg,
 Sander

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Telenav Mapping Project

2020-04-22 Thread Marc Gemis
Hallo Adrian,

thanks for reaching out before starting the project.

Just like the others here, I wonder how bad the situation is in
Brussels in your eyes. Do you have an overview of the wrong/missing
data that you will try to fix? Do you have a list of sources that you
will use to correct those problems? This information is missing in the
TelenavMapping page you are linking to.
Without this information, it's hard to tell whether your remote work
will improve the situation or undo the hard work of the local mapping
community.

As for Flandres, we had a "street complete' project a few years ago
that added all missing roads. Furthermore, before I had spent 2 years
or so on adding all the turn:lanes on motorways, trunk and primary
road, mainly in Flandres but also in Brussels and Wallonia. It might
be worth to do an update on that. Of course, in the meantime, others
have joined that project and have updated the data all over the
country.


regards

m.

Re: [OSM-talk-be] #equalstreetnames

2020-03-03 Thread Marc Gemis
Hello Seppe

thanks a lot for sharing this information.
I do like the project (despite my comments on obtaining the data
before the start) because:

- it uses my 2 favourite crowd-sourced open data projects
- it really requires both projects to create the map
- Open Street Maps (sic) is not only used as background nor for navigation
- it brought together 60 people. I do hope they will somehow continue
to contribute to OSM and/or Wikidata
- It gave OSM and Wikidata some publicity

As for the criticism on participating in an event that tries to gather
data on gender inequality in street names.
I do not see any political statement in that. After all, OSM and
Wikidata are very natural sources for such events, as, you might have
guessed it, are open data. If one makes a political statement with
that,  mapping bicycle parking could be seen as supporting anti-car
policies as well.

I assume mappers are often activists or at least passionate for
certain features, be it slow roads, airfields, AEDs, historical
buildings, power infrastructure etc. We are often open data and open
source activists as well.
Recently, on the tagging mailing list, you see requests for tags to
map free drinking water, free refills, object sharing, food sharing,
etc. All those are somehow driven by activism. Is that wrong? Not in
my opinion, it enriches the OSM project. If we would only try to mimic
Google Maps by focussing on navigation and shops (for advertising), we
could as well stop now.

So thank you for setting up the project and let's hope it will hellp
OSM grow further in the future.

regards

Re: [OSM-talk-be] RFC: explicit tagging of 'Jaagpaden'

2020-03-03 Thread Marc Gemis
I'm fine with explicitly mapping them.
Isn't service=towpath strange on a way that is not tagged as
highway=service? (but you know that I think they should have been
mapped as highway=service in the first place, but this is not the
case)

So it's meant for all those that are explicitly signed as "Jaagpad"
and not for any others? So this
https://www.mapillary.com/map/im/3T0U_uBJxNXHfrgwdztQDQ is not a
Jaagpad? (a bit further
https://www.mapillary.com/app/?lat=51.05439739997222&lng=4.4334043&z=17&focus=photo&pKey=cmVJ5z_VXnZqwsdrEK0aHw
, but that still does not make it a Jaadpad?)

IMHO, that is a derivative database. You look at OSM data, apply some
algorithm and create new data.
AFAIK, the project that Seppe, Joost and Jonathan have will not add
such data, but if you want to do it, you might contact the LWG to be
sure it's OK. I doubt it is.

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Tagging proposal for cycling highways (Fietssnelwegen)

2019-12-23 Thread Marc Gemis
I would assume that something like cycle.travel will compute a
bicycle-friendly route for the missing parts if all streets are mapped
properly with max speed, cycleways, surfaces, etc. There is indeed no
need/justification to map personal preferences/suggestions.

If the routes calculated by dedicate cycle routers are not taking the
best route, why not discuss this with the developers and see whether
they can improve their algorithms or perhaps they can suggest you to
add additional info that has an impact on routes. I did that in the
past for my home-to-work itinerary.

to be honest I find "network" strange in the context of a single
cycle_highway. All cycle_highways together form a network, but a
single one not.
We do not map the E 19 motorway as car_network:BE:motorway, but we do
have a relation for all parts of the E 19 in a route-relation (I
think, OSM website was soo slow yesterday when I tried to access the
page on E-motorways).

Is this cycle_network value OK with the inventors of that tag ? Wasn't
it invented recently to distinguish cycle networks from local cycle
routes ?

In conclusion: I would prefer another way to tag cycle highways

In some countries (including Belgium) traffic information from the
government is open data. Some OSM based apps, such as Magic Earth or
MapsFactor Navigator use this information. I have driven to Austria
this year with Magic Earth and the GPS in my car. There was not a lot
of difference in accuracy regarding traffic information.
The traffic slow down on the R0 I went through today was also
announced via Magic Earth.

Waze is also an app that uses volunteers to gather traffic
information. The beta version of Magic Earth that I'm testing now
allows people to send information about road works, traffic jams etc.
to the central servers. Just like Waze.

Some car manufacturers (e.g. BMW) use statistics from the cars of that
brand to gather up-to-date traffic information. Magic Earth does this
as well from their installed base.

So it depends more on the features of your OSM based navigation app
than anything else.
If you are not satisfied with OsmAnd for car navigation, I really
recommend you to try out Magic Earth.

To clean the lens. Even gently wiping over it would work against the
motors of the gimbal I think. It seems that the one I have can cope
with the duration of my walks.

To be honest, I think that the pictures I made are good enough to see
plenty of things that can be mapped. The parking places discussed
earlier, a bread vending machine etc, are still visible and can be
mapped. When I cannot read a label anymore, yes, then the picture is
worthless.
The pictures might be washed out here and there, but hey, I can live
with that. I can start mapping now and do not have to wait to get back
there when it's dry. For me, Mapillary is a source to map, not a
beauty contest for taking nice pictures. And furthermore, their object
recognition algorithms should be able to cope with raindrops,
otherwise, they will be useless in many real-world situations.

So I will keep taking pictures with light rain.

[OSM-talk-be] Road side parking ( Was Re: Overdreven gedetailleerde mapping ?)

2019-11-05 Thread Marc Gemis
So for those 4 roadside parking spaces: https://osm.org/go/0EpBwBaxP?m=
I have to split the road a couple of times, add some 3 or 4 parking
lane tags to indicate it is somehow on both sides, parallel parking in
marked spots? And I wouldn't be able to add the capacity in the end.

While adding 4 rectangles with tag amenity=parking_space express the same?

For me, there is definitely improvement possible in the tagging schema
for such situations.

Ik vind niet dat elke groep van een paar parkeerplaatsen in een straat

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Overdreven gedetailleerde mapping ?

2019-11-04 Thread Marc Gemis
Karel,

Queries worden trager schrijf je. Zonder analyse van de server waarop
de queries uitgevoerd worden kan ik niet zeggen dat dit de schuld is
van de grote database.
Misschien zijn er meer queries, of meer complexe queries. Ik zie ook
niet goed hoe het toevoegen van een object X (bv. een klein
grasperkje) invloed kan hebben op het opvragen een onafhankelijk
object Y (bv. vliegvelden).

Details nemen plaats in.
Details hoeven niet gerenderd te worden (hoewel amenity=parking_space
wel getoond wordt), dus de invloed van details is enerzijds op de
centrale DB, anderzijds misschiebn op de grootte van de tiles.
Aangezien die details enkel op zoomlevel 19 of zo getoond worden,
worden enkel die tiles wat groter.
Dus niet echt een probleem volgens mij. Voor de centrale databank wil
men  naar de "nutteloze" nodes zonder tag kijken om iets aan de
grootte/performantie te doen. Die nodes zouden deel moeten uitmaken
van de weg en niet op zichzelf staan (zegt ment). Ik heb jammer genoeg
de voordracht op SOTM in dat verband nog niet bekeken.

Andere databanken (denk Nominatim) kunnen die "nutteloze" dingen er
van in het begin uitfilteren.
Verder zijn er hoe langer hoe meer grote bedrijven (denk Apple &
Facebook) die OSM gebruiken en waarschijnlijk we een deel van de
sponsering voor zich gaan nemen.

Als je wil vergelijken met Wikipedia, kijk dan ook eens naar Wikimedia
Commons, hoe groot moet die databank wel niet zijn met al die beelden
en video's. Volgens mij nemen die "iets" meer plaats in beslag dan een
node met wat tags.

We kunnen ook veel plaats beparen door (tongue in cheek)
- fietspaden/sidewalk als tags op weg,
- weglaten van busroutes (gebruik de app van de Lijn), fiets en wandel
routes (gebruik de wandelknooppunt app of iets dergelijks)
- luchthavens vervangen door nodes, welke weggebruiker moet er nu
weten waar de landingsbaan is
- huizen & addressen vervangen door 1 node, of zelfs adres nodes te
vervangen door interpollatie lijnen
- alle landuse weg te laten (wie moet er nu naar een weide navigeren)
- grenzen (die leiden  toch maar tot discussies)
- alles ivm met nutsvoorzieningen. (*)
enz.

Voor alles wat iemand belangrijk vindt en wil inbrengen kan je wel
argumenteren dat het nutteloos is, of beter in een andere DB staat, of
compacter kan gemapped worden.

(*) maar kijk eens hoe relatief populair de voorgestelde tagging
schemas voor pipeline markers, streetcabinets e.d. waren.

Het aantal parkeerplaatsen kan interessante info zijn, net zoals de
exacte ligging (misschien voor slechtzienden die over het terrein
moeten navigeren). Kleine bloemperken e.d. geven aan hoe groen een

Zo zijn er misschien ook mensen die zich afvragen wat het nut is van
afzonderlijke fietspaden of landingsbanen op een vliegveld of om het

What about a C3 (no vehicles allowed) with a M-sign "Privaat weg"
(private road).
Would that mean that pedestrians can pass ?

Additional context: this road goes over a farmyard. It used to be part
of the node network in Blaasveld, but since that C3 appeared, the
route was changed and no longer passed over the farm yard.
It seems that they mean that nobody is allowed on that track, but the
sign does not properly communicate this I think.

Re: [OSM-talk-be] hidden official path vs. unofficial by-pass : consensus?

2019-08-21 Thread Marc Gemis
Seems my opinion is different from the other Marc.

AFAIK, the OSM consensus is to map what is on the ground, in this case
only the by-pass. You could keep the "official" path, with some tag
disused:highway or so, but IMHO, that is just clutter that makes it
harder for others to edit. When your local council does not bother to
re-instantiate the official path, it will soon loose that status, not?

As far as the removal of the "official" path is concerned, it probably
depends on what "official" means. If it is e.g. in the Atlas der
Buurtwegen and was not officially removed by the council, you should
contact your council and describe the problem. I did that once and the
day after, the track was open to the public again.

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Ways with identical coordinates on top of each other

2019-08-08 Thread Marc Gemis
I assume OSM always has been a 2.5D map. I'm thinking about tunnels
and bridges. To properly map them, we always needed the level tag. So
any data consumer that creates a road network from OSM will need to
have knowledge about the level tag.
Of course, the example that you mention, of indoor mapping with
multiple levels, is not properly solved by carto-css (the default
rendering on osm.org). The problem will also occur for POIs on
different floors. People have been experimenting with other
representations to make this type of data understandable.
I guess more and more 3D features will be added to the data, the
question is how fast will the data consumers come up with
representations that are easy to understand.

additional things that can be part of the definition:
 - passages through embankments are (in general) not tunnels.
- when a road passes over another one, located in a cutting, does not
place the lower one in a tunnel (Antwerp ring road)
- when the road goes under a waterway, the road is in a tunnel

Again: exceptions will exist and they have to be seen as a rule of
thumb, not a hard definition.

AFAIK the tunnel=building_passage, this is not a tunnel, but using the
tunnel tag anyway. I guess the same is true for culvert. I would not
try to come up with a definition that is also applicable to those 2.

Maybe my rule of thumb could be extended somehow for the metrotunnels,
which are clearly underground, and are therefore tunnels. For the mole
pipes, you write "dug out and covered", which is another indication
that it is a tunnel.

That being said, I guess you will never find a definition that works
100% of the time, because the real world is just messy.

I think there is a tunnel under  the e34 between Antwerpen en Zelzate.
There used to be a level crossing which was removed and instead they
created an underground passage for it.

Re: [OSM-talk-be] bridge or tunnel?

2019-05-28 Thread Marc Gemis
I doubt one had to dig something for the road to pass under the
railway. There is no "earth" between the road and the sky, only stuff
that humans created, like concrete, stones and asphalt. So a bridge
for me.
I apply the rule: stand on the road, look up, which layers of material
do you "see" before you reach the sky? Is there earth (grond/aarde)
that was not placed there artificially, then you are in a tunnel.
(similar to the digging rule mentioned earlier).

Mogelijks zou ook OpenStreetMap een filter moeten installeren om te
kijken dat de data die we uploaden niet onder een of andere copyright
valt. Het gaat niet enkel om foto's, fillms of muziek. Er is ook nog
een ander artikel dat bepaalde beperkingen gaat opleggen aan links. Je
zou niet meer zo maar een link naar een krantenartikel of zo op je
website mogen plaatsen geloof ik.

Ik denk dat het vooral de bedoeling is om mensen bewust te maken dat
men probeert de vrijheid van meningsuiting aan banden te leggen. Ook
zouden vooral kleinere, innovatieve bedrijfjes getroffen worden, omdat
zo'n uploadfilters heel lastig zijn om  te ontwikkelen (of duur om aan
te kopen)

En dan nog, het zal heel moeilijk zijn voor zo'n filters om het
onderscheid te maken tussen een filmpje van iemand die thuis op een
piano heel goed een klassiek stuk opvoert en een gelijkaardige, onder
copyright vallende uitvoering van een professioneel artist.

Ook is er de vrees dat satire e.d. aan de hand van foto's van bekende
personen (denk politiekers) nog mogelijk zal zijn.

Re: [OSM-talk-be] JOSM shared boundary of area

2019-03-06 Thread Marc Gemis
I think I have only seen a warning with landcover areas, as JOSM does
not really know that type of objects.

What are the tags you place on the "boundary"? You will never see this
warning on 2 connected buildings.
If you are mapping admin boundaries, you should use relations and have
the common way in both relations.

You can use the extrude functionality to draw two areas that share a
common way, see
https://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Help/Action/Extrude.
Especially the little movie on the houses, but keep the "alt"-key
pressed during the extrude action (on a Mac).

To: commun...@osm.be 


Beste,



Met vrijetijdsorganisatie Pasar VZW organiseren we op *zaterdag 19 oktober
2019* voor onze GPS-vrijwilligers en andere GPS-liefhebbers een nationale
GPS-trefdag in Sint-Niklaas.  Het is vooral een ontmoetingsmoment voor onze
GPS-vrijwilligers waar ze naast onderlinge kennisuitwisseling ook kunnen
deelnemen aan diverse GPS-workshops.  Vanaf 14u zouden we ook een geocache
workshop en geocache event voorzien.



Vorig jaar hadden we een workshop Garmin Basecamp, Osmand en Routeyou.
Voor 2019 zouden we graag iets aanbieden rond Openstreetmaps  zoals
bijvoorbeeld het updaten en corrigeren van kaarten, info over de
openstreetmaps  community in België, enz.  Daarom kwamen we bij jullie
terecht.  Kennen jullie iemand die een dergelijke workshop zou kunnen
geven?   Normaal gezien zou de workshop gepland kunnen worden van 9u15 tot
11u met een plaspauze van een 5-tal minuutjes.



Alvast bedankt om dit te willen bekijken. Jullie kunnen me altijd bereiken
per mail of  mijn gsm 0475 47 23 10.   Meer info over onze Gps-werking bij
Pasar vind je ook op www.pasar.be/gps



Vriendelijke groeten,

Alain

dat is inderdaad een van de workarounds, maar voor de een of andere
reden bleef JOSM bij mij toch nog die tags doorsturen. Ik zal wel iets

2019-01-24 Thread Marc Gemis
Hallo Denis,

Ik had gehoopt dat iemand die dichter betrokken is bij de ontwikkeling
tijd zou hebben om je te beantwoorden, maar ze hebben het misschien te
druk momenteel.
Ik zal dan maar proberen te de situatie te schetsen:

- de import mailing list had niet echt bezwaren, dus die hindernis is genomen
- de documentatie is volgens mij zo goed als af. De laatste beetjes
zouden tijdens een soort van kick-off meeting kunnen aangevuld worden
- de tool heeft nog 2 problem (voor zover ik weet)
* er komen nog extra tags mee die je niet mag uploaden. Daar bestaat
wel een eenvoudige workaround voor.
* niet alle adressen zijn correct. Vooral bij appartementsgebouwen met
meerdere huisnummers, zou het beter kunnen. Stel je hebt een gebouw
met 3 ingangen en huisnummers 15, 16 en 17.
Nu zal je 3 gebouwen met nummer 15-17 krijgen. Er is een mogelijkheid
om dit te verbeteren door een extra databank te laden in de tool. Dit
vraagt natuurlijk ontwikkelingstijd.

Ik begrijp Glenn wel dat die wijziging echt noodzakelijk is voordat de
tool beschikbaar kan gemaakt worden. Als iemand die altijd klaagt over
foutieve data van externe bronnen, juich ik dat alleen maar toe.

Ik weet echter niet of het enkel aan ons is om daarover te beslissen.

Momenteel werkt ook Lodde1949 rustig verder aan het intekenen van
gebouwen adhv de GRB achtergrond en met de oude adres import tool. Dus
in een groot deel van de provincie Antwerpen is de tool al niet meer
zo relevant.

Misschien moet er gewoon iemand een datum prikken, een zaal met
internet verbinding voorzien, iemand uitnodigen die de nodige
toelichtingen kan geven en de "import" officieel starten.
Het is duidelijk dat iemand de "projectleiderrol" op zich zal moeten
nemen om alles naast de ontwikkeling van de tool te organiseren en
daar dan ook voldoende tijd in stoppen.

mvg

m.

p.s. Ik wil hier niemand met de vinger wijzen, we zijn allemaal
vrijwillers met beperkte tijd. Ikzelf heb ook geen tijd noch interesse
om deze rol op te nemen.

I'm a bit confused about

- Open Belgium (on March 4)
and
- We will also organize a community day during the weekend this year

which weekend is that ? Which community (OpenBelgium or OSM or both) ?

I was also thinking (for a OSM public) -- at least I would be interested to
participate in such a workshop/presentation to learn more.

- Improve your armchair mapping with Mapillary and OpenStreetCam
  Explain the 2 project, techniques to use them in iD or JOSM, filter
images on "topic", ...
- Wikidata (and Wikipedia and Commons) for mappers.
What is Wikidata, how can you edit, how can you put data in OSM, potential
ideas for using a joined DB.

I cannot make it to Open Belgium, but I have been thinking about a "walking
meetup" for some time now. So instead of sitting in a pub, doing a walk and
talk about OSM and survey techniques and apply them.

Taking that idea, on a community day, it could be a workshop about
surveying techniques, JOSM tips, micromapping, that kind of stuff. It would
be an hand-on workshop, where people have to go outside for 15 minutes or
so and collect data. Afterwards compare techniques, collected data and do a
bit of mapping. Perhaps discuss a bit about usefulness, special maps, ...

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Lijst van dorpen/gemeenten/steden naargelang grootte/belang

2018-12-30 Thread Marc Gemis
Voor mij lijkt Joost's vraag relevant aangezien Brussel misschien wel
een grote stad is naar Belgische normen, maar klein is in vergelijking
met Londen, Parijs of Madrid.

Verder is een plaats met 5000 inwoners misschien niet relevant in
Vlaanderen, maar in een gebied met lage bevolkingsdichtheid (Ik denk
bv. aan Zweden of Wales) wel. Dit is een probleem dat ze bij de
default kaartstijl op osm.org ook nog niet hebben kunnen oplossen.

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Lijst van dorpen/gemeenten/steden naargelang grootte/belang

2018-12-24 Thread Marc Gemis
Hallo Karel,

inderdaad, OSM heeft niet echt tags om de grootte te bepalen. Zoals je
reeds aangaf is er de population tag, Er is ook de place-tag. Ik dacht
dat deze 2 tags in combinatie met capital, gebruikt worden door bv. de
standard kaartstijl op openstreetmap.org om te bepalen op welk zoom
level een stad/gemeente moet getekend worden.

Een andere manier is de grootte van het gebied afgelijnd door de
administratieve grenzen te nemen. Deze grenzen zijn niet altijd
gemapped. In Vlaanderen zijn alle admin level 8 (steden/gemeenten) wel
in kaart gebracht, evenals admin level 9 (de deelgemeenten). Dit hoeft
niet het geval te zijn in andere landen/streken.

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Update Slow Roads conventions Belgium

2018-12-15 Thread Marc Gemis
Sometimes references contain language specific information. Some
substations have CAB 12 as reference. I assume CAB refers somehow to
Cabine, which would not have been there if we would live e.g. in
Russia.
The same with the 'E' / 'A' / 'N' used to indicate road nummers.

We never put the name of the street in name:nl for other roads, why
would we do that for vicinal roads ?

Another example that I want to map is:
https://xian.smugmug.com/OSM/OSM-2018/2018-09-22-Londerzeel/i-SndFGmx/A

As a simple surveyor that does not want to look at ancient road
atlasses I thought of mapping this just as

name=Pluimennest
alt_name=Merchtemscheweg
vicinal_ref=Voetweg 25

If there is another simple method to map "Voetweg" and "25" we could
use that as well. But I assume that the signs sometimes do not
correspond to what the "Atlas" has.

Note that Voetweg/Buurtweg is not always written as such. In Rumst
they use VW and BW followed by the number. This is much closer to the
usage of e.g. A12 (which we also do not write as Autoweg 12, nor as 12
with and extra designation or road type tag).

I don't want to reconstuct the map from 1800, I want to map what I see
on the sign.
If I see a sign like
https://xian.smugmug.com/OSM/OSM-2018/2018-10-07-Opdorp-Lippelobos/i-sFgCzRj,
I want to somehow map "Lippelooweg / Buurtweg 57" and "Buurtweg 58",
regardless of what a map from 1800 says.

I would not drop the ref. The ref is visible on the signs, so it is a
"real thing". I have no problem that people add the URL as well. The
same is done for heritage sites. There is both a ref
(refLOnroerendErfgoed and a heritage:website.)

2018-11-09 Thread Marc Gemis
Keep in mind that the address database of OSM is far from complete.
Brussels is probably OK (Urbis DB was imported), for Flanders and
Wallonia, it depends on the mappers. In Flanders, an import/merge
operation is planned based on GRB. At this moment some mappers are
still adding addresses based on CRAB.
In Wallonia, it is still "manual" work. Go out and survey for addresses,

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Note tells OSM fails

2018-09-04 Thread Marc Gemis
I replied with the same names as person used in the original note.
Kraainem is named Kraainem in the name and name:nl fields.

It is possible that Nominatim returns the name:fr field in case you
have your browser configured to prefer French above Dutch.

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Note tells OSM fails

2018-09-04 Thread Marc Gemis
Here is the answer I gave on the note:

As you can see on the map, the boundary between Woluwe-Saint-Pierre
and Crainhem runs slighty left of the Rue Longue.

Since the current implementation of Nominatim (the software that looks
up the addresses), always looks at the street and never at the POIs,
there is no way to solve this with data.

AFAIK, they are working on a solution for this, but there is no
timeframe for a solution

Re: [OSM-talk-be] int_ref, ref spelling, no space between letter and number....

2018-08-12 Thread Marc Gemis
When you search for "blank" on Wikipedia, you will find some
disambiguation pages (a.o https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blank_space),
and finally end up on :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_(punctuation)
So space is correct.

m.

p.s. Do we need to ask people not to write in Dutch whenever they
violate the dt-rule ? :-)
p.p.s Do you read the Dutch forum ? I sometimes have to read certain
posts 3 or 4 times to understand the "Dutch" that is used there. So I
do not bother the occasional typo in English.

die tag is volgens mij enkele jaren geleden op deze mailing list besproken.
aangezien het zo goed als onmogelijk is om het archief te doorzoeken,
laat ik dat aan een ander over om die discussie terug te vinden. Omdat
er toen geen andere tags beschikbaar waren hebben we die tag
ingevoerd.

 Tagging evolueert over tijd, maar ik heb geen tijd om alle
"speciallekes" op te volgen. Dus alle hulp is welkom om  de BENELUX
preset aanpassen.aan de nieuwe consensus.

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Mapping of motorways - use of int_ref tag on nodes?

2018-06-22 Thread Marc Gemis
int_ref only on way.
I think most motorways in Belgium where mapped correctly, before this change.

Perhaps a mistake of the user which selected ways and nodes before
adding/changing the int_ref ?
Feel free to reach out to the mapper that made the mistake.

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Nodes or areas to tag amenities

2018-04-18 Thread Marc Gemis
The idea of using indoor mapping is good, and it's probably the future
to solve all the problems you mention. (we had a similar discussion
last Friday on the Riot channel)

Some remarks:

- does it make sense for a "room" to have an house number and a street
? I would expect those on the building, and floor or level or so on
the room.
- I'm not familiar enough with the simple  indoor tagging, but I would
expect that a restaurant exists of multiple rooms (dining, toilets,
kitchen) not just one.
- On the Riot channel the entrance to the restaurant was also seen as important.

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Conflation OpenData Brussels

2018-04-04 Thread Marc Gemis
Hallo,

The more automated the conflation is done, the more strict the import
guidelines have to be followed.

There are a number of tools that come to my mind:

- JOSM with OpenData & Conflation plugins
- Glenn's tool for GRB building import might be adaptable for your use
- Ilya Zverik's conflation tool that is currently used for the gas
station import  preparation.
- The tool the UK community uses to prepare their quarterly projects.
They did something around schools last last year, where the goal was
that the participants solved the conflation problem in their local
area.

Conflation won't work easily for

- road surfaces: you might have to split existing OSM ways representing streets
- 3D buildings: It's very likely that their model does not match the
simple 3D model of OSM. Their is a separate repository for 3D models
now.
- PT should be rather complete. Contact Polyglot to see whether the
data is so different from what we "imported" already


IMHO, manual conflation is preferable. Given the many mismatches
between any company/government data set and the reality, a check by a
human is necessary.

regards

m

p.s. I can look up more information or contact info for particular
tools if you want.

Re: [OSM-talk-be] How to request arbitration?

2018-04-01 Thread Marc Gemis
Did you contact the owner of the airfield to find out how they name it
? Did you find a sign along the street pointing to the airfield with a
name ? Is there a name sign at the entrance ? Is there an official
document  from a government which mentions a name ?

If all of those questions return false, i.e. no name, then the
airfield has no name. Maybe there are a few other places where we can
look for the item of items, but making them up from ones armchair is
certainly not one of them.

No everybody gives their house, private tennis court, driveway or
airfield a name. So noname=yes might be the only thing we can do. We
should not make up names as "Airfield of Family Anderson", "Airfield
near road N111" or whatever.

Re: [OSM-talk-be] volunteers needed in Mons, Namur and Liege for the national mapathon

2018-03-20 Thread Marc Gemis
Feel free to take some slides of
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1IyyzXXyBWb6sO0U4Z5mROAmChKDPcaVCMa0ozG4h_q8/edit?usp=sharing

(I will try to make the presentation more consistent -- all black on white)

It might be hard to understand since I do not write notes under
slides, and avoid to put text on them.

Idea is:
*what is mapathon
* what is mapping (in the context of  the mapathon.)
* why (the comparison with 3 maps & aerial imagery)
* what is OSM ( I do not plan to explain al details in the graph, was
recovered from another, more detailed presentation)
* When was HOT created  (after Earthquake in Port-au-Prince 2010)
* task manager
* validators
* Missing Maps
 * MapSwipe (nice to see it was used as pre-scan of the area)
* On-the-ground mapping (Nathalie Sidibe)
- Further contact via osm.be (contact page)

People use that to scan out-of-copyright maps and make them available

Only useful for "old" things: such as historic boundaries, historic

The Irish community used that side to map all their historic boundaries.

Re: [OSM-talk-be] temporary cycle routes

2018-02-02 Thread Marc Gemis
The road properties are mapped on the road. The relation (also for
motorways) should not impose this. The E34-relation contains segments
with traffic signals, so it's not all freeway/motorway.
We should differentiate between fiets-o-strade-the-cycleway and
fiets-o-strade-the-route. The latter can contain cycleways and
residential roads imho.

Maybe we should invent something like
highway=cycleway;cycleway=fiets-o-strade for the former.

Re: [OSM-talk-be] temporary cycle routes

2018-02-01 Thread Marc Gemis
I would only map them if they are signposted. So if there are signs
indicating how you get from one dedicated fiets-o-strade section to
another via "regular" roads, no problem. If there are no signs, let
the router decide the route based on other tags.

As for the concrete that has to be placed on the ground. I'm not in
favour of mapping things that one day might be there (or were there
for that matter). There are already enough objects one have to
maintain that are actually there.

I think 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Belgium/Conventions/Highways
gives the solution, there needs to be an F9 sign. If not, it is a
primary.

Re: [OSM-talk-be] How to avoid that names are on all buildings

2018-01-17 Thread Marc Gemis
so the area is called "Clintonpark", so an "area" should get that
name. The area is "everything", i.e. the buildings, the parking lots,
the grass between the buildings, etc.
now we need to determine what that area represents. It could be e.g. a
landuse=residential.

To answer how you have to map this, you first have to answer: what is
"Clintonpark" ?

- an area

[OSM-talk-be] AIV import tool - discussie

2018-01-09 Thread Marc Gemis
(In Dutch as it is about the import of buildings in Flanders).

Gisteren was er een levendige discussie op het Matrix (aka Riot)
channel over de import.
Het ging hierbij om het volgende: momenteel zorgt de tool ervoor dat
je de gebouwen in JOSM krijgt met de building=house of de
building=shed tag. Dit is gebaseerd op de GRB data die enkel die types
kent.

De maker van de tool, Glenn, heeft deze keuze gemaakt omdat die in
veel gevallen correct is. Hij gaat er verder van uit dat de persoon
die de import doet, wel het gebouw type zal aanpassen.

Een aantal mensen, waaronder ikzelf vinden dat building=yes een betere
keuze is, omdat dat altijd juist is, zelfs als het gebouw een
een-gezin woning (house) is. Je hoeft dan niet onmiddellijk het type
aan te passen.

Het gaat hier dus over een default (house) die meestal juist is, maar
verkeerd is voor bv. industriële gebouwen, kerken, kantoorgebouwen,
flatgebouwen, of een minder nauwkeurige tag, die informatie verliest
bij echte "building=house), maar wel altijd correct is.

Glenn gaat nu kijken of er misschien iets kan gedaan worden door te
kijken naar de landuse waarin het gebouw gaat terecht komen.

Wil je deelnemen aan dit soort discussies, schrijf je  dan in op ons
chat channel in Matrix/Riot.

 Hi Nadia,

 Nice to see you here!

 I've played with the idea of unique identifiers for OSM objects myself
 before. But it remains controversial in the international community (not so
 much in Belgium). Here's an article I wrote long long time ago about it.
 It's especially useful for the comments, which outline some of the problems
 with my idea [1].
 Also relevant to get a feel for the issues is when this proposition for
 a global reviews database was discussed. Possibilities for linking were
 investigated, and adding external IDs got quite a bit of headwind.

 There has been a discussion about wikidata recently that turned so big
 that I couldn't follow at all. But at least until recently, there seemed to
 be an openness towards adding wikidata unique IDs. I don't know enough 
 about
 it to have a real opinion, but to me it sounds elegant to translate an
 official source of streetnames into wikidata objects, then adding that
 identifier to OSM. Maybe those more versed in Wikidata can explain.

 That said, I'm not sure your proposed solution is the most simple
 solution to the problem. Given that streetnames are given by the 
 government,
 in theory there is one and only possible way of writing the name. In
 Flanders, that would be the CRAB name. In the very few cases where CRAB is
 still wrong (or more to the point: the sign in the street says something
 slightly different than what CRAB says), you could have name="Name on the
 Street Sign" and something like name_official="Name in CRAB". In that
 situation, the problem is different: how do make sure all the street names
 are and stay correct in OSM. By coincidence, we are actually working 
 towards
 doing something like that. In the scope of the Road Completion project [1]
 we want to start "attribute/tag comparison" real soon. Glenn as well has
 built something that is even further along the line of being in production,
 where we look for "close to this official road, there is no OSM road with
 the same exact name".
 Similar bit different, we developed a website last Open Summer of Code,
 where official cycling network data is compared to OSM data all the time.
 That way we can make sure our Brussel cycling network is always at least as
 correct as the official data.
 It's only a few more steps (not easy ones, I know) until we can work
 this out further. Any difference in street names should then be fixed quite
 quickly. I'd rather see you guys helping out in this effort, than starting 
 a
 cumbersome import.

 As far as I know, those codes are only open data in Flanders
 (accidentally through CRAB open data). One of the few rules about "what to
 map" is that it should be verifiable (preferable by anyone, in the field).
 There are a few exceptions, but they are rather rare. As long as the
 National Registry codes are not open data, that sounds lie a real problem 
 to
 me. In fact, there is no way you can import data into OSM that is not open.
 Because then we would have to re-license OSM with the license of the
 National Registry :)

 One more thing is that using this ID will give you false certainty. You
 will get your results, most of the time. But someone might have corrected a
 segment (it used to have the name A, but it really is street B), and they
 will not know what to do with this strange ref number. So even after a
 succesful import, you woul

Re: [OSM-talk-be] OSM and SIAMU

2017-11-22 Thread Marc Gemis
Hallo Nadia,

nice to hear that the fire department is using OSM.

As for the refs for the roads. There are a number of different systems
in place for reference numbers that you do not see.
In the UK they use official_ref or admin_ref [1]
In France they have e.g. ref:FR:FANTOIR
and there is also unsigned_ref [2]

I would stick to one of those keys

Some people in the international community do no like those external
accounts, as ordinary mappers cannot easily check them. I do not think
that the Belgian community really objects to those refs. Be aware that
those refs can disappear, as mappers might not understand their
purpose.

I leave it to others to decide whether the import procedure has to be
followed to add the refs.

In case you understand German, it might be interesting to view the
presentation by this fire department [3] on using OSM.

I've tried a couple of "tasks".
I found it pretty hard to fill in the proper road type without being
familiar with the local situation.
The fact that Wegenregister adds a name to each and every long drive
way is not going to help with the OSM data quality.

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Afbraak hoogspanningslijn: hoe aanpakken in OSM ?

2017-11-12 Thread Marc Gemis
ik doe dat bij gebouwen, omdat er meer mensen zijn die zich daar mee bezig
houden.
Maar hoeveel mensen tekenen er nu power lines ? Ik acht de kans dat die
terug gaat getekend worden zo klein.
Waarom zouden we de kaart (in een editor) laten volstaan met zaken die op
een of andere luchtfoto nog zichtbaar zijn ?
En wanneer doen we ze dan echt weg ?

Maar ja, razed: (als ze echt weg zijn) en disused: zolang ze er staan kan
ook.

Aangezien we enkel mappen wat nu zichtbaar is, zou ik opteren om alles te
verwijderen.
Er is dan wel een hele kleine kans dat iemand ze terug gaat intekenen aan
de hand van oude luchtfoto's.

Re: [OSM-talk-be] LiDAR

2017-10-22 Thread Marc Gemis
AFAIK we hardly have any elevation data, i.e. building heights. OSM
does not store elevation data for landscape features (contour lines),
although we can put ele on mountain tops.
I've seen a few blog posts on using LiDAR for OSM, but can't remember
where. There was a presentation at a SOTM: https://vimeo.com/115361043

Another issue is that even buildings not available in many areas in Belgium.

I am not aware of ele-data for communication towers and the like.

Re: [OSM-talk-be] building = staketsel

2017-10-19 Thread Marc Gemis
tip: iets ten westen en oosten van jouw staketsel, zijn er 2 meertjes in
een bos. Momenteel worden daar ook boompjes op getekend, omdat er geen
multi-polygoon gedefinieerd is voor het bos.
Heb je zin om dat te corrigeren ? Weet je hoe je een multi-polygoon moet
maken ? Vraag het anders maar, laat dan wel even je favoriete editor weten.

Re: [OSM-talk-be] building = staketsel

2017-10-18 Thread Marc Gemis
A man_made=pier should be rendered on the default style, see e.g.
http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/22909776#map=18/51.08352/4.36580
Adding building is wrong. I don't know whether a pier mapped as an area
will show up though. Perhaps one could add area=yes.

Can you include a link to the Pier in Zuidlede ?
