[Talk-ca] Hospital list...
I am doing some stuff with the Random Hacks of Kindness folks (http://www.rhok.org/) and am looking for a list of geo-referenced hospitals. Anyone know an easy way to get this info. out of Open Street Map, or baring that know of another source of this data that could be freely re-used by not for profits looking to help co-ordinate disaster responses... Thanks. Colin McGregor ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca

Thanks. Colin McGregor Hi, You can download the list of Haiti Health facilities from http://haiti.resource-finder.appspot.com/ (Export CSV, in the lower left corner). The source was the PAHO master list: https://sites.google.com/a/netspective.org/haiti-health-facilities/home Previous versions, up to version 7 as far as I know, were imported into OSM (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Haiti/Status/Hospitals - This page also explains how you can download hospitals from OSM through XAPI, possibly for another area of interest). (And you are welcome to import the current the current version in OSM, if you feel able to merge it in carefully.) Best wishes, Jean-Guilhem ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca

Haiti is of interest to us, but so is Afghanistan, Zimbabwe and everything in between... Anyone know of a list of hospitals for everywhere? Thanks.

Re: [Talk-ca] Hospital list...
To get this info *out* of OSM you could use XAPI. A query like http://xapi.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/*[amenity=hospital] might work. The wiki has more xapi documentation at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Xapi which might help. You should be warned that xapi is at times slow and outdated. You might also need to query building=hospital depending on how people have tagged hospitals. -Original Message- From: talk-ca-boun...@openstreetmap.org [mailto:talk-ca- boun...@openstreetmap.org] On Behalf Of Colin McGregor Sent: Saturday, December 04, 2010 1:18 PM To: talk-ca@openstreetmap.org Subject: [Talk-ca] Hospital list...

Re: [Talk-ca] Hospital list...
I'm not certain that OpenStreetMap supports that activity. All available data needs to be added to OpemStreetMap, and cannot be extracted for any external gis system, unless the complete external gis system is previously imported into OpenStreeMap. Checking with legal for the use. OpenStreetMap is a ccBYsa/odbl map, and is not a public domain or CCBY map, by any streatch cheers, sam On 12/4/10, Colin McGregor colin.mc...@gmail.com wrote: I am doing some stuff with the Random Hacks of Kindness folks (http://www.rhok.org/) and am looking for a list of geo-referenced hospitals.
