Re: [OSM-talk-ie] Mapping hospital departments

[Donal Hunt]

For hospitals that are all one building (or sections of a multi-building -
is that a term??), it sounds like it's a case of using the indoor mapping
scheme:

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Indoor_Mapping

And then display depends on what is most appropriate:


   - Universidad Pública de Navarra - Aulario in OSM
    in OpenLevelUp!
   

   - Universidad Pública de Navarra - Biblioteca in OSM
    in OpenLevelUp!
   



OpenLevelUp looks great for displaying multi-floor buildings.

[OSM-talk-ie] Mapping hospital departments

[Colm Moore]

Hi,


Over time, I've mapped parts of various hospitals. A map is only useful if it 
serves its end users. Hospitals are big places, so mapping as many of the 
individual buildings and departments is useful.


1. One of the things that I've found is that hospitals are very poor at mapping 
(and signing) themselves (I've mentioned it to some of them & HSE). These maps: 
https://www.hse.ie/eng/services/list/5/cancer/archive/mwcc/campus-map.pdf and 
this 
https://www.hse.ie/eng/services/list/5/cancer/archive/mwcc/hospital-map.pdf of 
University Hospital Limerick are quite poor and don't really look like this: 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/45766917#map=16/52.6343/-8.6527

2. To some degree or other, the layout of some hospitals facilitate mapping 
individual departments, as each department is a separate building:
* Altnagelvin Hospital, Derry 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/123387829#map=16/54.9864/-7.2916
* Our Lady's Children's Hospital Crumlin 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/32063615#map=17/53.32615/-6.31889
* St. Vincent's, Dublin 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/8106524#map=17/53.31685/-6.21267
* St. James's, Dublin 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/32015912#map=18/53.34085/-6.29308


3. However, most of Beaumont Hospital, Dublin is just one building

https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/642893440#map=18/53.39078/-6.22300


I've done some experimentation:

* building=hospital does work, but means a building on top of a building and is 
poor mapping: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/642893439

*  building=hospital as a node doesn't work: 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/6034491515
*  building=roof works, but is only applicable to certain cases: 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/316698399


Any thoughts on the best way of mapping hospital departments?
