[talk-ph] tagging distinctly Philippine POIs
The previous thread drove me to post this. I have always been wondering how we tag features that are distinctly Filipino. Often I encounter a feature that is not the Map Feature like vulcanizing. some examples: tricycle terminal talipapa pasalubong/souvenir shops small stores (sari-sari) MMDA pink urinals :) In urban areas it might clutter the map, but in rural areas, some of these features maybe very important. For example when I did some bike mapping around Panglao there is only one vulcanizing shop in the island, fortunately, I was right in front of it when my pedal literally bolted out! Of course this is somewhat related to the previous discussion on too much POI detail. Can we come up a list of these features and a possible tag? Any ideas? -- cheers, maning -- Freedom is still the most radical idea of all -N.Branden wiki: http://esambale.wikispaces.com/ blog: http://epsg4253.wordpress.com/ -- ___ talk-ph mailing list talk-ph@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph

Often I encounter a feature that is not the Map Feature like vulcanizing. Or maybe we should try to fit them into more generic tags where possible? If every country has a different tag for essentially a common service it will become very difficult to make a custom map renderer which works over all countries. For example. - tricycle terminal - could be marked as a general transport terminal and the name would reflect the fact it was a tricycle terminal. - talipapa = amenity=market, and the name contains talipapa - pasalubong/souvenir shops = shop=souvenir ? - small stores (sari-sari) = shop=convenience ? - MMDA pink urinals :) = OK you got me. - Vulcanizing = shop=car_repair My point is that we shouldn't be making things unncessarily complicated. If people come from outside of the Philippines and want to buy a can of coke, then they don't need to know that a sari-sari store will sell one to them. So you're making it easier for people to find what they want.

Re: [talk-ph] tagging distinctly Philippine POIs
It's very difficult to decide whether we create our own Pinoy tags or adapt existing ones for two reasons: 1. this is an international project we need to maintain the commonality of features so that it is understandable across countries; 2. some features are hyper-local, it cannot be assigned to a generic tag. To take the MMDA pink urinal a bit further, I think it should be: amenity=toilets sex/gender=male fee=no weewee=yes poopoo=hell no! operator=Metropolitan Manila Development Authority I suggest we add more features we can think of (Rally gave several index cards on this). Match them with the existing map features page. For features that doesn't have an actual match, add them to the Pinoy-POI list http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/PH:Map_Features Please add more info.

[OSM-legal-talk] post-migration terms for maps rendered by OSM?
This may be a stupid or uninteresting question. Or the answer may be obvious and I've completely missed it. Apologies in any of those cases. Currently I understand that all data and content on OSM is available under CC BY-SA. That is suboptimal for databases, which of course is why ODbL is desired (or some instrument appropriate for databases, I'll completely ignore the PD vs copyleft debate here, hoping it isn't relevant to my question). At least one important re-user uses maps rendered by OSM under CC BY-SA -- http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:OpenStreetMap_maps Under what terms will maps rendered by OSM be available after the database is migrated to ODbL? I can imagine some possibilities such as (a) Rendered maps will be under the permissive Database Contents License http://www.opendatacommons.org/licenses/dbcl/ -- replacement for the Factual Information License mentioned at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Open_Data_License_FAQ#What_alternative_licence_is_the_OSMF_recommending.3F (b) Rendered maps will be under the ODbL itself. I guess that could be read into http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Open_Data_License_FAQ#How_does_this_affect_Wikipedia_and_other_projects_that_want_to_use_our_maps.3F (c) Rendered maps will be under some other terms distinct from the database or database contents (CC BY-SA, public domain ...) I'm not sure rendered maps are really database contents and they don't seem to be databases themselves, though I guess one could make a stretch for either. And (c), while not a stretch (maybe, modulo related question below) isn't mentioned in the FAQ. so I'm assuming it isn't on the table. Which is it, or something else I'm completely missing? Related question: Presumably the above question only applies to maps rendered by OSM. One could presumably take the database under ODbL, render their own map, and release under any terms compatible with satisfying the notice/attribution requirement of ODbL for produced work -- 4.3 in http://www.co-ment.net/text/1280/ -- which presumably includes any of the main CC licenses, as well as many other possible release terms. Is this correct? Very marginally-related and even more probably stupid question: What terms will non-map/data/database OSM contents (ie the wiki and maybe other things I don't know about) be under post-migration? Same as current, ie no migration, ie CC BY-SA, or migration to something else? Why do I ask? Mostly because I couldn't find the answer (I have read recent threads about produced works and didn't find it therein). :-) And I'm hoping that maps rendered by OSM (by far the most convenient source of maps rendered with OSM data) may be combined with CC BY-SA works so that another incompatible set of copylefted content isn't created, given that the biggest incompatibility in the copylefted content universe is about to be eliminated (Wikimedia sites adding CC BY-SA of course). I can imagine that this could be the case under any of (a), (b), or (c) above, but I'd like to know for certain. I do work for Creative Commons, but note that I'm not a lawyer, am not stating a position for CC, and only talking about rendered maps, not data or databases!

But once people have that may they are free to make copies of that map and use it however they see fit (printing it in a book, plasticizing it and selling it, using it in a derivative art piece) provided they too attribute your work (and that of OSM) and re-release their product with a Share Alike compatible license Read the full license at http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/legalcode and see the OpenStreetMaps Legal FAQ at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Legal_FAQ So my take on your situation is that you could use the OpenStreetMap data just fine, but since you're a consultant whomever you are consulting for would have to sign off on your end product being liberally licensed. I know this would not work if you were making say wind resource maps for a company planning to sell that data, but may be acceptable if you were making maps for a non-profit company or public entity.

Re: [OSM-legal-talk] post-migration terms for maps rendered by OSM?
Mike Linksvayer schrieb: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:OpenStreetMap_maps Under what terms will maps rendered by OSM be available after the database is migrated to ODbL? That will be up to the people doing the rendering. For maps rendered on Wikimedia servers (see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/OpenStreetMap), CC-BY-SA would seem like an obvious choice, but it's up to them. (b) Rendered maps will be under the ODbL itself. I guess that could be read into http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Open_Data_License_FAQ#How_does_this_affect_Wikipedia_and_other_projects_that_want_to_use_our_maps.3F I have just updated that FAQ. It was referring to an early out-of-date draft of the ODbL. One could presumably take the database under ODbL, render their own map, and release under any terms compatible with satisfying the notice/attribution requirement of ODbL for produced work -- 4.3 in http://www.co-ment.net/text/1280/ -- which presumably includes any of the main CC licenses, as well as many other possible release terms. Is this correct? Yes. What terms will non-map/data/database OSM contents (ie the wiki and maybe other things I don't know about) be under post-migration? Same as current, ie no migration, ie CC BY-SA, or migration to something else? I'm not sure if this has been discussed yet, but I don't see any reasons for changing it. And I'm hoping that maps rendered by OSM (by far the most convenient source of maps rendered with OSM data) may be combined with CC BY-SA works so that another incompatible set of copylefted content isn't created, given that the biggest incompatibility in the copylefted content universe is about to be eliminated Compatibility with open content licenses has been an important point for us in working with ODC. One of the changes in the latest ODbL draft was made in order to remove any possible concerns about license compatibility on Produced Works. We believe that ODbL now is fully compatible with licenses such as CC-BY-SA or GFDL for rendered maps. ___ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
[OSM-talk] Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) data import technical steps
I'm working on the LINZ data import, which will bring New Zealand's maps forward in a huge leap and includes all roads, streets, various features (parks, airports, streams, riverways etc). LINZ gave OSM permission over a year ago to import the data, provided attribution was passed on with the data. The attribution can be a mixture of tags (user id, source, attribution link), some attribution pages online, and apparently the ODbL license may help towards this (although I'm unclear as to how, in case anyone wishes to enlighten me). Although I'm interested in this and involved with it, it's not the focus of my question. On the actual import, I have been working on the mp2osm script which takes Polish Map .mp format and turns it into OSM data, ready for JOSM. This is because the data files I can get hold of are in that format, and have been processed heavily by NZ Open GPS. The downside is that I can't yet get hold of the LINZ data to see whether all this processing (for example of feature types) is accurate and for comparison. It is also broken up into regions, so many of the features are obviously not joined together at the borders of the regions. In the meantime I have been pushing on and creating mappings for the various features found, and would like to setup some tests etc so that people can review the results in cycles. Here are some of the questions/issues/things to do which I would appreciate some help on: * getting a test OSM server setup. I know about api06.dev.openstreetmap.org, but it would be good to have the current NZ data in there to check for overlay/conflict/merge results with existing data. This server should also generate tiles for everyone to peruse and check, ie for iterative debugging * getting hold of the original LINZ files (I believe a DVD full) for comparison with the NZ OpenGPS versions, and to check feature types etc in the LINZ data dictionary * leads on the Cadastral/Corax data since the stuff I have seems to be missing property boundaries, street numbers and so on * people who were involved in the TIGER or Dutch data import for their experiences and advice (ideally send my your chat/IM handles too) * any idea why we can't make NZ a normal mailing list, like the other OSM ones? Help classifying the data: * information on the Garmin types (hex codes) * comments on the draft admin_level codes for New Zealand, which I put up here in the table http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:boundary * help with tagging stuff like mountain ranges, ridges, gully/gorge POIs etc etc As soon as a test area is setup which generates tiles, I will start uploading chunks for others to view, comment on and help tweak the import scripts... ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

You can see alot more detail on this area. The only feature that isnt loaded is the big polygon of wooded area, (that'll take the bulkUpload.pl script (that i still need to figure out) thats why im at beta 0.74 (im sure it's not that hard to learn, i just havent got to it yet.

I think the definitions really don't belong in the the data -- perhaps if you want to see them, your browser should look them up in some table rather than load from the data. Also I noticed the schools in Lake Cowichan are buildings according to the canvec data but don't have a building=* tag. Another nit pick is that the tertriary road with ref=18 is not connected with the other roads. There is probably no way to do this part automatically.

[OSM-talk] Fixing duplicate nodes/ways
Hi, I used php_bulk_upload to make some changes a while back, and it has been recently pointed out that it really screwed things up - creating many duplicate nodes across a very wide area. Rather than just uploading the large number of changes I'd made, it also uploaded new copies of existing nodes and ways. I've been trying to fix things with JOSM's validator, but it's over such a huge area that this is proving impossible. Is there any way that changesets #1420511 and #1420511 can be reverted? I would imagine not given that work has continued since then. Alternatively, how can we remove all the duplicate nodes and ways over this large area?

I have not looked at the CanVec data, but if there is a 1:1 correspondence I suggest you do. there, you're lucky. Duh.. one is derived from the other. In fact one is a definition of the meaning of the other one. I have looked at the USGS Geonames and TIGER data, and there is NOT a 1:1 map with accepted OSM tags. Sure, you could (for example) force something to be amenity=hotel, even if the accepted tag is tourism=hotel, but that's a cheap hack, not consistent data. Whether your converter's rule says canvec:type=X - amenity=school canvec:type=Y- tourism=hotel, rating=3 stars or they're both amenities doesn't really make a difference, does it.

There is a lot of duplication, but if I see a 'canvec' or any other external source tag, then should I have to start searching for external references to supply more information? But if there was a means whereby 'exact same two-three english sentences' could be packaged to provide a lookup table that any viewer could then access things would be a lot easier? While I'm ranting ... is there a cross reference OF sources that can be used for attribution details? But then I still don't accept that things like 'tourism=hotel, rating=3 stars' has to be duplicated everywhere anyway when the API can quite easily convert a simple alphnumeric tag to what ever language the target viewer requires? You can still retain the flexibility of people creating their own undocumented main tags, but one gets a unified view of all the core material without the misunderstanding caused by forcing english on everybody? I've suggested in the past that there should be a unified 'place' table with a well structured hierarchy so that everybody uses the same id number for a place name, and this is the place that mappings such as gnis:county_id=052 - gnis:county_name=Multnomah would be added and referenced from? Looking up gnis, canvec or tiger in the place table would show which areas the relevent source covers? -- Lester Caine - G8HFL - Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Perhaps if we give the history of the changes you will understand how the boundaries work. In the beginning was the void.

On the third and fourth days more mapping was done, more streets On the fifth day the workers got smart and found usable free information On the sixth day the ABS data was imported. On the seventh day we still didn't rest The ABS data is the suburb and other boundaries. Some are right and some are not so right.

JOSM can do all this offline and you don't have to upload the gps trace to the osm server before editing it. It is easy to use and for major work is better than potlatch. Have a read here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Comparison_of_editors Best of all if it doesn't look right don't upload it and restart. keepright for Australia is at: http://keepright.x10hosting.com It will show where there are errors in the current database.

The more points to cover, the more processing power it uses which makes the way the human brain can solve those problems really cool. (sorry, I didn't get my comp sci degree for nothing :)) Actually, this is the Chinese Postman Problem, which is closer to the problem of finding a Eulerian path, which is actually very possible - even without knowing the map before hand (with a few assumptions). The travelling salesman problem tries to find a short path between lots of places, but it doesn't make any attempt to cover every street, so it will miss out on lots of roads. Exciting computer science ahead. Read on if bored (you've been warned): A Eulerian path is a path that goes down every road exactly once, which is exactly what you want. Unfortunately, it is only possible to do when there are 0 or 2 intersections with an odd number of roads leading into them (a dead end counts as an intersection too). And, if there is a pair of intersections with an odd number of roads, then we need to start on one of them (and we'll finish at the other). And yes, you also need to have full knowledge of the map when you are planning, there also can't be one-way streets or turning restrictions. If you ignore the restriction from the previous paragraph for now then: 1) Keep driving until you hit an intersection. 2) Go down a road you haven't been down. If there are multiple roads which you haven't driven down, then pick any of the roads to follow, unless choosing one would split the set of undriven roads in two. Now to fix the dead end and T intersection problem, before you start: 1) Find an intersection with an odd number of roads going to it. 2) Find the shortest path from it to any other intersection with an odd number of roads going to it. 3) Add a fake road along that path, so you are then allowed to travel down it more than one time. For example, if you have a T intersection leading to a dead end, then the dead end road would get a fake road placed over the top of it. (but like most maths, this would probably end up making things worse if you actually tried it - as it is much quicker to go straight than to be constantly making right hand turns everywhere, and this algorithm doesn't care) (oh, and someone suggested that if the roads were all in a grid, you could do smart things to take into account the redundancy, and just zig-zag through, knowing you can extrapolate later... I don't know of any algorithms that will find the best path in these cases - you would need to add a fair bit of extra magic to existing graph theory to solve it) Andy ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

Have to agree about 200% with Delta on this one, I've seen way too many cases of people who have obviously used their 1 gpx track to move and existing surveyed way to follow it when if they'd used theirs and the 20+ traces that were available on osm (and uploaded theirs so the next person would have 21+ to use) they'd realise their track was a off that day. I've also seen too many cases myself where I do a first trace down a road to get a path then put together 3 or 4 over a period of time and realise the first trace was off.

Secondly, come the day when MegaMap Inc, decide to sue OSM, due to a part of the map looking suspiciously derived from MegaMap's products, the existance of GPS traces in OSM may assist greatly in defending against that threat.

[talk-au] Data Error - Junctions ?
Hello again talk-au, I'm new to editing in the OSM project and before I start making significant changes to another's work, I thought I should check with people more experienced with the project to make sure I'm correct. Background: I was having a look at my local area with Keepright and spotted a couple of "dead ended one ways". On close inspection in Potlatch, I see that the junctions have not been formed correctly. The layout of the streets, street names etc all appear to be correct. Well, I fixed those couple of dead ended one ways, but then checking other data around the immediate area, I see that just about all of the regular two way junctions have not been formed correctly. I started to fix them in one block of suburban streets, but the number of problems is significant, so I stopped my work to contact the mailing list to make sure I'm on the right track. (pardon the pun) The area to look at for an example is the hamlet of Hobartville in NSW near Richmond NSW. http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-33.60619lon=150.74622zoom=16 As a specific example, if you look at Luttrell Street in Hobartville http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-33.607542lon=150.745566zoom=18layers=B000FTF you will see that none of the junctions for side roads are correctly joined to Luttrell Street. This problem appears to be repeated across the area generally. My Plan: I'll do a detailed GPS trace of the area and double check all of the street names, then assuming that I'm correct and all of these streets need to form standard junctions, I'll go ahead and edit the area street by street with my trace and street names for reference to correct the junction issue. I wonder why these don't show up in Keepright with the "almost-junctions" check? Assuming this is an error on the part of the person who originally entered the data, is it prudent to contact them to let them know in case they continue to enter data this way ? Any advice or suggestions appreciated. Rick ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

At this point in time there is no way possible that everyone will actually be getting 2m or better of accuracy all the time unless they have better than currently available consumer grade kit. Secondly, and I hadn't really considered this possibility but it could be more important given the right circumstance, is so that it can be used as evidence on how the map was derived. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

Well, I fixed those couple of dead ended one ways, but then checking other data around the immediate area, I see that just about all of the regular two way junctions have not been formed correctly. I started to fix them in one block of suburban streets, but the number of problems is significant, so I stopped my work to contact the mailing list to make sure I'm on the right track. (pardon the pun) There are huge numbers of these around Australia. I think a lot of them are caused by people who originally traced the ways from imagery, and didn't make sure that the ways connected up properly (or at all, in some cases). It's gotten to the point where every time I edit an area to add names, etc the first thing I do is run an error check (I use JOSM) and fix as many as possible from the data I have. Otherwise when I get to the point of checking my own edits, they're swamped in other problems. I wonder why these don't show up in Keepright with the almost-junctions check? Maybe it's almost is closer than you might expect, or perhaps it's just buggy. Or there's so many errors it runs out before finishing the check?

Re: [talk-au] Uploading traces (Was; Hi all ...)
If the data was challenged that I entered then osm can contact me for the original data. In the meantime why are we filling up storage on osm with data that is not producing the final product ie the map. Why do I need to challenge you to prove what you did was correct, if the GPX information is present and downloaded into say JOSM I can see if you did a good job or not, otherwise I am left guessing based on the data other people provided. I did not say you were challenging me. I'm talking about the final product being challenged by MegaMap Inc and osm being able to show where the data came from. osm if necessary could then obtain that data from me, the history of the origin of the data is in the database. No, if someone had better than consumer grade equipment then that should How do I take your word on that if you haven't proven yourself to be honest in this matter and shown your working out? How do I take your word for it when you use an anonymous mail address and don't sign your name to any email. be uploaded and locked so that it can not be changed except by the person uploading the data or on request to them. It would override the consumer grade equipment totally. Yes, people always tell the truth all the time, but that doesn't prove anything. I never said that users with better than consumer grade equipment should have an automatic right to this. There would of course have to be some sort of confirmation of capability by osm. What I am saying is that if known high quality data is available don't degrade it by averaging with known low quality data. But they are very rarely (less than once a year) wrong. News to me, I've had several devices with various brands of GPS chips in them and they will say for example 8m accuracy and be out by 100m at times. I especially noticed this since I started embedding OSM maps into an app I'm coding and the GPS accuracy will be within a reasonable tolerance, but the plot on the map will be all over the place. Hdop is not an indication of distance it is an indication of the confidence of the accuracy of the position and it is not readily translated to distance. So if you had an hdop of 8 then I would expect the position to be very inaccurate. -- Cheers Ross ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

Do they have suitable qualifications to make statements of fact regarding the information they provide? What I am saying is that if known high quality data is available don't degrade it by averaging with known low quality data. I agree, but it's a safe assumption 95+% of the data supplied to OSM isn't high quality GPS data and for those sections covered by the lower quality data averaging would be useful. Hdop is not an indication of distance it is an indication of the confidence of the accuracy of the position and it is not readily translated to distance. So if you had an hdop of 8 then I would expect the position to be very inaccurate. I agree with you about being a confidence rating, however everything seems to treat this guesstimate of accuracy in terms of this answer is right within a possibility of say 24 metres. From all the documentation I've seen, HDOP is treated as the accuracy divided by 6, so if the chip estimates within 24m, the HDOP will be 4. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

Re: [talk-au] Uploading traces (Was; Hi all ...)
* improving routing information, by working out average speed on roads (at different times). If your connected to the internet that's fine but it's no use for on the road re-routing, unless you have all the gps traces downloaded to your gps. This should be tagged by maxspeed anyway. Some one may have also driven the road really slowly (push bike) and some one may have done it at the speed limit. This would skew any reliability. * improving height maps, by taking (lots of) samples where altitude information was present. Pointless, vertical data is grossly out from a gps you are better off using the NASA dem data. * automatically guessing the number of lanes on a road, by looking at the variance of traces over sections in each direction. Should be tagged anyway (when more than 1) and how do you know it's not an accuracy problem. * automatically marking ways which haven't been looked at for a long time, so someone can revisit them to make sure they haven't changed. A good idea. * (insert your imagination here) If we had a trace here showing a person getting to a dead end, turning around and going back around the other way, then it would be much more convincing that the OSM data is correct. As it is, it is our word against google's. I was going to say look at the sat photo but that dosn't help as its covered over with trees.

Have you loaded both into josm and seen how they compare?

The next important piece of information is the points where streets or roads intersect. Finally any extra information about the path of the street between intersections. If you have the first 2, the third piece of information can be extrapolated, especially if the streets are mostly straight. So it's not as important to traverse every street if you can get the end points and intersections of streets, the rest can be refined. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

Wenn man sich einmal die Berechnungsformel für die Kartenkoordinaten (also wo ein Punkt mit gegebenen geografischen Koordinaten auf der Karte hinprojiziert wird) erkennt man das Problem sehr leicht: Y=arcsinh(tan α) Der Tangens strebt den Fall α→±90° gegen den Wert unendlich (also schlampig geschrieben: tan(90°)=∞), was für einen normalen, rein numerisch rechnenden Computer zu Problemen führt. arsinh hat zwar den passenden Wertebereich, strebt aber für Werte, die gegen unendlich gehen, selbst gegen unendlich (schlampig: arcsinh(∞)=∞), was natürlich auf keiner Karte vollständig richtig darstellbar ist. Aus diesem Verhalten resultiert übrigens auch die entsprechende Flächenverzerrung und extreme Größe der Polargebiete auf einer Mercator-Karte. Hier müsste man, wenn man die Polargebiete halbwegs richtig darstellen will, auf eine andere Projektion umsteigen oder, wenn man gewisse Ungenauigkeiten akzeptieren kann, eine entsprechende Näherungslösung finden.

Re: [Talk-de] OSM für Gewässernutzer
Hallo Stephan, Danke dass Du dieses Thema aufgreifst! Über die Kennzeichnung der Uferlinie habe ich mir ein paar Gedanken gemacht. _natural=coastline_ Ja, nur wenn die Küstenlinie und Flussufer genauer attributiert wird, weiss ich, ob ich dort mein Kajak ins Wasser bringen kann (ob mit einer klassischen Paddelstütze, oder eher mit Weitwurf und Hinterherspringen, oder besser gar nicht). Und am Meer ist das Ufer auch nicht überall zum Schwimmen geeignet. Manchmal nur für http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klippenspringen http://www.openstreetmap.org/index.html?mlat=16.8459mlon=-99.9153zoom=18 (da gibt es wohl keine OSMer?) In Häfen werden die festen Hafenanlagen ebenfalls mit natural=coastline bezeichnet. Auch da ist eine Differenzierung erforderlich. Eine feste Pier beispielsweise kann auf der einen Seite zum Anlegen für Schiffe ausgebaut sein, ein Teil davon ist vielleicht für die Küstenwache oder für Fischerboote reserviert, auf der anderen Seite der Mole liegen aber vielleicht nur Felsbrocken oder Tripoden. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/de:Hafen#Umriss_des_Hafens http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/de:Hafen#einzelne_Anlegestelle _Trockenfallendes Gebiet_ Zwischen der Wasserfläche und der genutzten Landfläche liegt oft ein einige Meter breiter Streifen, der begehbar oder nicht begehbar, steil oder flach, bewachsen, natürlich oder künstlich befestigt sein kann. Meist unterscheidet sich diese Uferzone deutlich von der benachbarten Landnutzung. Dieser Streifen heisst trockenfallendes Gebiet. Genaugenommen gilt diese Bezeichnung für den Bereich zwischen tiefstem und höchstem Wasserstand in Gezeitengewässern (Tidenunterschied 30cm). Aber auch bei Gewässern mit kleinerer Tide entsteht dieser Streifen durch ständige Wellen, oder bei Stauseen und Flüssen durch Wasserstandsänderungen. Je flacher der Übergang vom Wasser zum Land, und je grösser die Wasserstandsänderung, desto breiter ist dieser Streifen. In Wattgebieten oder Flussmündungen kann er mehrere Kilometer breit sein. An dieser Nahtstelle zwischen Meer und Land treffen auch zwei inkompatible Höhensysteme aufeinander: einerseits Meerestiefen, die sich in Tidengewässern auf Lowest Astronomical Tide (LAT), in Gewässern mit einer Tide 30cm auf Mittelwasser beziehen, und andererseits topografische Höhen, die sich auf Normalhöhennull beziehen. In OSM gibt es dafür noch keine Lösung, da bisher Höhen und Meerestiefen nicht erfasst werden. Die Küstenlinie soll sich auf mittleres Springhochwasser beziehen. Sie wird bisher aus einer Datenbank übernommen und manuell nach Luftbildern verfeinert. Aber das funktioniert natürlich nur bei Steilküsten mit möglichst keinem Tidenhub. Wenn man den Übergang von Wasser zum Land genauer darstellen will, braucht man 2 Linien: - Übergang vom Wasser zum trockenfallenden Gebiet (LAT) - Übergang vom trockenfallenden Gebiet zum Land (MSpHW) http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/de:Küstenlinie _shoreline=..._ Über ein shoreline-tag als Linie könnte man das Ufer klassifizieren: wall - senkrechte Mauer oder Spundwand (1m über Wasser) step - niedrige befestigte Kante (1m über Wasser) embankment - befestigte Böschung (15-45° Steigung, meist nicht begehbar) slip - befestigter flacher Übergang ins Wasser mud - Matsch, Schlick sand - fester Sand stones - größere Steine rock - Felsküste wood - dichtstehende Bäume scrub - Gebüsch gras - Gras, Rasen reed - Schilf oder andere Wasserpflanzen Diese Vorschläge finde ich ausgezeichnet! Allerdings würde ich nur sehr schmale (5m) Streifen in Verbindung mit natural=coastline als ergänzender Schlüssel shoreline=... mit den von Dir vorgeschlagenen Werten verwenden. _natural=..._ Für breitere Zonen sollten unbedingt Flächen gezeichnet werden. Dafür kann man dann den Schlüssel natural=... verwenden, ebenfalls ergänzt durch die von Dir vorgeschlagenen Werte. Um das eindeutig zu beschreiben, empfehle ich Dir verschiedene Küsten zu fotografieren und den Bildern die entsprechend passenden Attribute zuzuordnen. Dann ist das dann in allen Sprachen eindeutig. _Beschaffenheit und Nutzung_ Ich finde es sinvoller, die physikalischen Eigenschaften der Uferkante einzugeben als die Nutzung. Das sind zwei verschiedene Klassen. Beide sind zur Beschreibung von Geo-Objekten sinnvoll und ergänzen einander. In Häfen beispielsweise gibt es unterschiedliche Nutzungsmöglichkeiten und -Einschränkungen bei ansonsten gleicher physikalischer Eigenschaft der Uferkante. Auch beim Flusswandern ist nicht jeder möglich Zugang auch für den Ein- oder Ausstieg freigegeben. Und nicht jedes Wehr darf befahren werden, auch wenn es technisch vielleicht möglich wäre. _internationale Beschreibung_ Sowohl für das Meer wie auch für Flüsse und Binnenseen gibt es viele Nutzungseinschränkungen Ja, und im Gegensatz zu den Strassen, bei denen jedes Land eigene Klassifizierungssysteme benutzt, haben sich die Binnen- und Hochseeschiffer seit Jahrzehnten auf ein

[...] In Häfen werden die festen Hafenanlagen ebenfalls mit natural=coastline bezeichnet. Auch da ist eine Differenzierung erforderlich. Eine feste Pier beispielsweise kann auf der einen Seite zum Anlegen für Schiffe ausgebaut sein, ein Teil davon ist vielleicht für die Küstenwache oder für Fischerboote reserviert, auf der anderen Seite der Mole liegen aber vielleicht nur Felsbrocken oder Tripoden. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/de:Hafen#Umriss_des_Hafens http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/de:Hafen#einzelne_Anlegestelle Was spricht Deiner Meinung nach dagegen eine Kaikante mit man_made=quay zusätzlich zu natural=coastline zu taggen? Damit wäre ein Anschluss zur Systematik man_made=pier hergestellt. Jetty verwendet die INT 17Karte 1[1] eher im Sinne von Pier (vgl. (F 14). Auf Rügen wurden zum Teil auch Hafenmolen mit man_made=breakwater bezeichnet[2], was ich persönlich für keine gute Idee halte. Was meint ihr dazu? Wäre hier vielleicht auch etwas wie man_made=mole sinnvoll? Auch die INT 1 differenziert zwischen breakwater (F 4) und mole (F 12). Der Unterschied scheint das Vorhandensein einer Anlegemöglichkeit zu sein. Wenn vorhanden dann Mole.

Re: [Talk-de] OSM für Gewässernutzer
Hallo Falk, schön - noch ein Seefahrer! Kaikante: man_made=quay zusätzlich zu natural=coastline Das finde ich eine gute Idee. Mit material=... kann man noch genauer spezifizieren: natural=coastline + man_made=quai + material=concrete|masonry|boulder|tripode|steel|wood Wenn der Kai zusätzlich als Schiffsanleger ausgebaut ist: natural=coastline + man_made=quai + mooring=yes Der Renderer kann dann den Anlegekai als etwas dickere Linie anzeigen. Dadurch werden Anlegestellen in der Karte sichtbar (F 13). Auf Rügen wurden zum Teil auch Hafenmolen mit man_made=breakwater bezeichnet[2] In Lome gibt es drei lose Steinschüttungen als Wellenbrecher. Diese Objektklasse ist in der INT-1 nicht vorgesehen. Dort wird der Begriff breakwater für mehrere Objektklassen verwendet (Hafenmauer, Mole, freistehender Wellenbrecher, Buhne). Wir verwenden breakwater engeschränkter: Unterscheidungskriterium zur Mole ist die fehlende Verbindung zum Land. Der Wellenbrecher bekommt also keine coastline. Er vergrössert (normalerweise) auch nicht das Territorium. Solche Wellenbrecher haben (meist) keine Anlegemöglichkeit. Molen können eine Anlegemöglichkeit haben, müssen aber nicht. Oft haben Molen nur auf einer Seite eine Anlegemöglichkeit. Mole: man_made=mole ? Auch das finde ich eine gute Idee. Nach dem selben Muster: natural=coastline + man_made=quai + material=concrete|masonry|boulder|tripode|steel|wood und wenn Anlegestelle: natural=coastline + man_made=quai + mooring=yes Der Renderer kann dann den Anlegekai als etwas dickere Linie anzeigen. Dadurch werden Anlegestellen in der Karte sichtbar (F 12). Die Pier hingegen fehlt in der INT-1. (nicht zu verwechseln mit pier/jetty von man_made=pier, entspr. F 14)) Dafür gibts keinen englischen eindeutigen Begriff. Vielleicht hast Du ja eine gute Idee?

Re: [Talk-de] Ortsnamen
Hallo Johannes, Dürfen wir die Einwohnerzahl übernehmen? Keine Ahnung, ich verstehe nichts von Lizenzen. Die Zahlen stammen aus Wikipedia. Da unsere beiden Projekte intensiv gegenseitig Daten nutzen und unter derselben Lizenz stehen, vermute ich mal dass das kein Problem ist. Noch besser wäre natürlich, wenn jemand die Renderer so programmieren könnte, dass sie diese (oder eine ähnliche) Tabelle berücksichtigen. Der Vorteil einer solchen Tabelle ist, dass jedes Land diese nach kartografischen Gesichtspunkten erstellen kann, und so auch Lösungen für Fälle abdecken kann, die man mit einem Algorithmus nicht geregelt bekommt.
