Re: [OSM-talk-ie] Schools: UK experience
Email addresses for most school principals are available off the Dept. of Education website (more specifically from http://www.education.ie/en/find-a-school/ ) - though I don't know if contacting each school individually would be worthwhile. I'd imagine it'd be rather time-consuming. k. On 17 December 2016 at 18:56, Rory McCann wrote: > On 17/12/16 00:45, Dave Corley wrote: > > Those tools look great.

Hi Dave, I have the start/end numbers for Robert W's tool - these show that schools mapped as polygons increased from 62% to 75%. I also run a script that pulls back data from taginfo every day. The stats show periods when we appeared to go backwards - in reality this was because we were removing duplicates where schools had been mapped as both a way and a node.

Rob, Thanks for that. I follow the gb mailing list too so watched your progress with jealousy ;) Those tools look great. I'm especially interested in the map roulette aspect as I see it being very useful in terms of us consuming government data, in particular where there has been a lot of mapping done already i.e. Schools, Fire stations, libraries etc etc. Off the top of your head, do you know your start/end numbers and did any tool account for a big jump in the numbers?

Hi, I just spotted you are discussing mapping schools. Here in the UK we ran a quarterly project on schools which was very successful in terms of the number of people involved and the tools developed. As a starting point, check out the wiki page: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/UK_2016_Q1_Project:_Schools Some notes: - We collected gov data for England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - all point data. - Few mappers for Northern Ireland so there remains a lot to do there. - Some great tools to track progress were developed including Robert W's progress tool [1] Harry W's edits tracker [2]. Both, I'm sure would be happy to help in Ireland too. - Martijn helped us set up a MapRoulette challenge. It was a bit late in the quarter so most people had already found their prefered way of working. - Christian L developed a great tool [3], just a bit too late for our project.

We shouldn't just convert the points to nodes, and upload to JOSM. However we can look at OSM where that point is, and see if there is a school in OSM there, and if not, add it.

[OSM-talk-ie] Schools mapping project: Update number ?
Hi all, I've lost track of which update number we are on, but here are the latest things from the UK Quarterly Project to map schools: 1. "Night School" event To coincide with Open Data Day we are looking to hold an evening mapping event. The aim being to get as many people involved for one evening as possible. Date will most likely be Tuesday 1st March. It will be an online event but if your local group wants to get together then go for it! Follow the discussion at https://www.loomio.org/d/Nt4DYCu2/concentrating-our-efforts or post to talk-gb. 2. MapRoulette challenge Martijn is woking on getting a maproulette challenge up online. I've suggested we focus on our least mapped postcode regions. So that's BT (Northern Ireland), NP, CF, SA, LD, SY, TF, OL, M, BL, WN, PR and BB. 3. 10,000 edits (and other stats) Wow! We are getting close to 10,000 edits to amenity=school features. Hopefully this will happen by Wednesday if we have a good few days. We're also at over 250 mappers, 72.5% completeness (schools mapped as ways), and around 2000 amenity=school ways have been added.

Re: [OSM-talk-ie] Schools project - update 3
I've been following the project with great interest but there's a number of limiting factors preventing us doing the same at the moment, specifically addressing (townland project fixes that) and location of the schools. The dept of ed here releases a monthly file with all schools info for the country but lacks location information. However, with the onset of open data in the government, there are a few options that will allow for combining datasets to get what we need. For example add * Dept of Education schools file (school data) To * Polling stations datasets (location data) Gives a combination of school info and location together. Sadly the polling station datasets are done at County council level and so far I've found only 2 released under cc-by. More will follow, but right now that's what is holding back something like this in the south. I've contacted the dept of education to ask for location data and was told no, with no elaboration. But that was a long while back. It might be worth chasing them up again Dave On 26 Jan 2016 23:55, "Rob Nickerson" wrote: > Yes, it's a "quarterly project" to map schools.

A third update on the quarterly project. 0. The what project? http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/UK_Quarterly_Projects 1. Open Data Manchester Following a tweet Open Data Manchester have asked whether anyone can go and show them how to map. Looks like their next meeting is Monday February 1st, 6.30 – 8.30pm. Any volunteers? 2. Edits continue at pace. For those adding #OSMSchools to their changeset comments (sorry no way to go back and add it if you forget) we reached a high of 258 changesets on 18th Jan. The map is starting to look well covered (although some gaps missingso please continue to use this in your changesets). See http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-changesets?comment=OSMschool#6/53.495/-3.549 3. 175 people have done 5351 edits Amazing numbers measured by Harry's tracker. Looks like Uganda has joined the project too. It would be great if someone could turn the CSV linked data at the bottom of the tracker into a daily chart. See http://harrywood.dev.openstreetmap.org/diffreader/schools/ 4. HS and ZE are 100% complete! Wow! The HS (Outer Hebrides) and ZE (Lerwick) postcodes are complete. Thanks go to OpenStreetMapper seumas. Many other postcodes (with more schools within them ;-) ) are close to this now too http://robert.mathmos.net/osm/schools/progress/ 5. Nodes converted to ways Following lot's of data clean up we are nearing 80% of schools mapped as land areas rather than simple points. We should hit this in the next couple of days. 6. Northern Ireland still needs some work If you map in Northern Ireland and want to get involved please do. Each extra school mapped there will help lift it off the bottom of the tracker. We can also look at doing some initiatives in NI if the local community want this. Let us know :-) 7. Blogs and video Please keep up the blogging and tweeting. It would be great if we could attract some new mappers (a how to map schools video would be great if you have time to do this).

[OSM-talk-ie] Schools project - update
Hi all,
> Cross post to talk-ie (we are working on a quarterly project to map
schools - feel free to join (see item 3 below).
A few updates for the schools mapping project. As always there is also the
page on the wiki for quick reference (
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/UK_Quarterly_Projects ).
0. Changeset comments
Don't forget to add #OSMschools to your changeset comments. I will ask
Pascal Neis for an updated "Who's contributing" dataset next week.
1. Calling all video tutorial experts
I've put out a call on Mappa Mercia's twitter (and now here) asking for
someone to create a very short "How to map schools in iD" video. I think
this will help with engaging new communities so if you feel up to the task
give me a shout :-)
2. Robert's data by postcode.
Robert W has updated his comparison site to enable you to download the
schools by postcode data as a geojson. Example download URL is:
http://robert.mathmos.net/osm/schools/progress/B/data.js
Once downloaded, open the file, delete the first line ("var matched = ")
and save.
3. Northern Ireland data
I have downloaded a snapshot of Northern Ireland "schools plus" data from
2016-01-12 and asked Robert to add it to his comparison tool.
Source: https://www.deni.gov.uk/services/schools-plus (go to the schools
plus site, click the "All institutions" button followed by the export link
on the left). It includes items in "schools" and "non-schools" grouping as
set out at http://apps.deni.gov.uk/appinstitutes/InstViewInstType.aspx If
you want a copy of my pre-processed data then let me know.
4. Isle of Man data
This is online if anyone wants it. Given it is a smaller community I would
prefer to encourage them to add it to the map. The video tutorial will help
here :-) Data at:
https://www.gov.im/categories/education-training-and-careers/schools-and-colleges/
5. ITO World map of schools
This map is mainly useful for OpenStreetMap contributors who want to ensure
that they collect names for all schools in an area. View it at

Happy mapping
