Re: [Talk-GB] POI files of Pub/Restaurant chain
Hi Rob, thanks for the nudge, they have a nice amount of brands, it would be great to be able to use their data freely :) @all, where would I document the request (and the eventual permission) in the Wiki? It seems that under https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Permissions#Europe there's no entry for the UK... Or should they go to https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contributors#United_Kingdom?

A quick check of one I know the location of shows that the co-ordinates given seem to be of the business park that its in rather than the building itself: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/53.22910/-1.42264 . That list should be OK for spotting missing examples, but if one is missing you'd need to visit to see which actual building it was in. Obviously a nominatim search of e.g. "harvester in chesterfield" will also return (or not) whatever OSM has.

Re: [Talk-GB] POI files of Pub/Restaurant chain
Hi Dave, I got them from their website (harvester.co.uk/poi) and have done A LOT of additional things to create a GeoJSON, that I can import to MapRoulette, that would help engage the community. I haven't gotten permission to use the data yet (have to send a snail-mail :-/), so please do not go and start adding data to OSM just yet, please. Kai > Dave F via Talk-GB hat am 16.

Hi Did you obtain them from their website? If so, could you post the link? What's the content? Just location co-ordinates?

Re: [Talk-GB] POI files of Pub/Restaurant chain
Hey, You'd have to contact them to ask what license those files are published under, or get explicit permission for it to be used in OSM. If you do make contact it may be better to ask for permission to use the store data from whole website which will include phone number, opening times, toilets/accessible toilets etc. If they don't respond or refuse a compatible license, you can still get address data from FHRS Open Data [0], along with linking it so clients could show it's hygiene score to end users.

Hey all, I just accidentally found that the Pub next to "curious 20602512" is operated by a chain with quite a few places. They provide four different POI file formats with all their locations. As this data is pretty much openly accessible, I think there'd be no major issue with asking them if this data could be used to check all the places against OSM data and, if needed correct and/or create them, right?
