Re: [Talk-GB] Schools project Closed Schools

[SK53]

There are at least 2 options:

1. Just delete them.
2. Change the base tag to one indicating that it is no longer a school: eg,
disused:amenity or old_amenity.

I prefer the second, as the former is always prone to be mistaken for a
missing data. Additionally old school buildings may get turned into private
houses, or adapted as community centres, so being able to identify the old
school can be helpful

The thing not to do is just add a disused=yes, see numerous wiki pages &
messages for why not!

[Talk-GB] January Nottingham pub meeting Tuesday 19th

[SK53]

A quick reminder that the first Nottingham OSM group meeting of 2016 will
be at the Lincolnshire Poacher on Tuesday 19th Jan:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nottingham/Pub_Meetup.

I have also scheduled dates

for the rest of the year. These are not set in stone beyond the first
quarter, but I will really try & avoid changing them.

Cheers,

Jerry

[Talk-GB] Footpath Mapping Consall Forge, Staffs

[Jerry Clough (SK53) (via Doodle)]

Hi there,

Jerry Clough (SK53) (sk53@gmail.com) invites you to participate in
the Doodle poll "Footpath Mapping Consall Forge, Staffs."

This was an alternative I rejected for the New Year meet-up, but as I
have already done a fair bit of research; and, by all accounts, the
pub is worth visiting, I thought it might be worth visiting the area
in March.
  
  Same basic format, two footpath mapping sessions with a
pub lunch in between.
  
  See earlier emails about details of
footpaths etc. I'll add a little more detail in a follow up post in
this thread.

[Talk-GB] 10th Anniversary Rutland Mapping Party

[SK 53 (via Doodle)]

Hi there,

SK 53 (sk53@gmail.com) invites you to participate in the Doodle
poll "10th Anniversary Rutland Mapping Party."

See earlier emails to talk-gb@openstreetmap.org
  
  Very early draft
page on wiki:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Rutland_England/2016_%2810th_Anniversary%29_Rutland_Mapping_Party
Weekend mapping forming a reprise of the 2006 Rutland Mapping Party.
Obvious targets might be: footpaths, new housing, addresses, mapillary
sequences. I'm sure there is plenty more, and lots surveyed in 2006
which can be mapped better now. 
  
  But its also an opportunity to
get together socially in nice part of UK.

Yes, I've made some changes to the tool at
http://robert.mathmos.net/osm/schools/ , but it's to the data imported
from OSM, rather than the (still very simplistic) matching algorithm.
I'm now including both relations and ways tagged with either
amenity=school or amenity=college. (Previously it was just ways tagged
with amenity=school.)

Looking at some of the Edubase data near to me, it's clear that some
of the institutions should be tagged as colleges in OSM. Also near me
are a number of schools in OSM that were tagged using multipolygon
relations to collect together individual ways that make up the
boundary. I've deliberately excluded nodes to encourage these to be
converted into areas.

The matching algorithm could certainly be improved significantly, and
hopefully I'll get a chance to look at this at some point later this
month. But in the mean time, the best way to ensure the right things
are matched to each other is to map any missing schools, retag any
objects incorrectly tagged as schools, and add ref:edubase,
ref:seedcode and ref:deniirn tags as appropriate.

Finally, if you haven't looked recently, you'll find some other other
reports and Overpass Turbo links at
http://robert.mathmos.net/osm/schools/progress/ , which people may
find useful for more Quality Control work on our Schools data.

Robert.
