hi manning,

the inclusion of the health facilities here in davao is approximately 90% 
complete.  i mapped those facilities and still will include that in my future 
areas that i will visit.  im with the local government of davao and i did 
inform doh ro xi about the uses of gps but fell on deaf ears... and also with 
the local tourism office.

Dear everyone,

I had a meeting with Department of Health (DOH) IMS division on the
possibility of collaborating with the OSM-PH community.  No clear
plans yet on the collaboration but I would like to put forward the
discussions in this list.

= Overview =
Basically, DOH intends to improve their database for the location of
health facilities in the country.  They will use the data on several
information management of the Department.  At the moment, they have
several database developed in various projects.
Each db uses a different system but one thing they lack is a uniform
geographic identifier.  An example of the db is available in the
Unified Health Management Information System portal [0].  This online
portal lists ~21,000 health facilities all over the country.

At the moment they were able to geocode ~4,000 locations [2] (~20%).

= What they need from OSM =

A couple of ideas that were discussed are:
- Verify the location of the 4,000 geocoded facilities in the
existing OSM data.  Right now, there isn't any clear evaluation on the
accuracy of the locations (a process of Q/A is now being developed).
Some facilities are actually in Sulu Sea!  Check out the southern part
of Negros island [2].
- Fill in the gaps. the IMS division have limited funds to
individually verify and take GPS readings of each facility.  OSM data
can possibly fill in the gaps.  Using the Overpass turbo [3], I was
able to check that we have ~1,100 amenity=hospital ways and nodes.
Note that some maybe duplicates and I have not included other health
facilities like barangay health centers (tagged as amenity=clinic
clinic=public [4]).
- Ask the community to map more health facilities.  The only
additional tag they want included is the Health Facility Code (an
alphanumeric code similar to NSCB's PSGC [5]).  This code will allow
them to link the OSM geometry into their health facility db.
- Train DOH staff to edit OSM.
- Build some easy to use tools to collect data in the field.

= Pending issues =
As with most government data, they are available only on a
non-commercial use.  Specifically, the DOH generated locations.  For
the other information in the online db, they are OK with public access
without restrictions. This will be in conflict with OSM's ODbL.  A
workaround discussed was to separate the DOH db with OSM's data
points.  No public db will be distributed that integrates both data
sources.  Is this in compliance with the ODbL?  If not, what are other
ways in which we can use OSM data in relation to DOH's plans.

Everything I've listed are open to discussions.  I included here two
people from DOH to keep them aware of the discussions. (@ Steeve and
Mark, please subscribe to our mailinglist [6] to keep track of the
discussions)

Regardless of what DOH intends to do, I encourage everyone to include
health facilities in your own list of things to map.

Thanks!

[talk-ph] Cebu health facilities

2013-02-01 Per discussione Marion Singleton
Hello I am new to this group. I am currently personlly surveying health 
facilities in the Cebu, Mandaue and Consolacion area of Cebu Province for my 
own needs. I am a newbie at adding points to the database. I have come across 
some of the following different types of places both public and private:
1. Doctor offices
2. Dental offices
3. Optometrists
4. Private clinics with and without emergency facilities

5. Public clinics with and without emergency facilities
6. Hospitals
7. Treatment centers
8. Birthing Centers

9. Diagnostic test centers

10. Health care training facilities and schools

I am sure this is not an exhaustive list. What I need to know is how should 
each be identified on the map. What codes should I use to enter each one. I 
have only been using the simplest methods so far but I think it is important to 
differentiate to help the user find what they need. I would like to discuss 
this with someone very knowledgeable in this area before starting to enter the 
data. Please contact me here.

 Hi guys,
 
 It's not enough to have a pretty looking map. The underlying data is also 
 important especially for routing.
 
 So to help increase the quality of the data, there's a new map created by an 
 OSM user in Germany. This map shows all of the turn restrictions (ex., no 
 left turns, no U-turns) data in OSM:
 
 http://map.comlu.com/?zoom=17lat=14.55459lon=121.02085layer=Mapquest%20Open
 
 This is not the first such map, but this is certainly more responsive and 
 informative than the other turn restriction map I've seen before. It also 
 shows if there are errors in the turn restrictions. And you can also use it 
 to see if there are any missing ones.
 
 Happy mapping!

[OSM-talk-be] Cartographie Wallonie

2013-02-01 Per discussione A.Pirard.Papou

Hi,

For several years, people and myself have asked without reply 
C/artographie/ Wallonie 
http://www.google.be/url?sa=trct=jq=cartographie+walloniesource=webcd=1cad=rjaved=0CDIQFjAAurl=http%3A%2F%2Fcartographie.wallonie.be%2Fei=7OwLUdOgEIOt0QXRm4CIAgusg=AFQjCNHsqIR2rsLmaZ9P2wi3G5NbLXIMpg 
to confirm that they open our servers to be used for OSM, especially 
PICC data of paramount importance (1).
Feesnone/FeesAccessConstraintsnone/AccessConstraints in their 
WMS server.


I once read that one person finally got an answer: they are not against 
such usage but they have no time to make and publish an official decision.


Am I remembering right that last year this subject was raised on this 
list and that it was said that a decision could be made by the end of 
2012?   Is there any news about that?


Cheers,

André.


(1) the PICC data has defects (e.g. missing 50m of way length) and it's 
some way to improve it to copy it to OSM with corrections. PICC data 
seems to be vector format behind the tiles. Could it be translated to 
OSM format to be used as material to make updates?

Re: [OSM-talk] Which renderer for high quality, printed cycle map?

2013-02-01 Per discussione Václav Řehák
2013/1/31 Steve Bennett stevag...@gmail.com:
 Hi all,
   We'd like to produce a high quality bike map, to be printed. I'm
 looking at the various renderers and wondering if anyone has a
 recommendation?

I don't have a recommendation for particular renderer, but if you'd
like to get inspiration for the actual style, we (Prague by bike
bicycle advocacy group) have created a mapnik based style for online
cycle map [1]. It shows different surface type (e.g. squared texture
for cobblestones), cycle route relations are displayed with varying
line style depending on the surface quality (solid vs. dashed) and
lighter colour for primary highways and darker for tertiary highways
or separated cycleways. The map legend [2] is in Czech only but Google
translate deals with it ok. The style itself is available on Github

Nice and useful use of texturing - I like it a lot, especially as a 
roller-skater : no other map style I know makes the dreaded cobblestones 
so discreetly obvious.

j'aimerais donc savoir si ces images ont étés géoréférenceés ou
orthorectifiées?

-Concernant les GPS, j'ai un Garmin etrex 10, la ville que j'aimerais

quand il y'en a c'est maximum 3 niveaux. quel type de précision je pourrais
avoir dans ce cas?

Oui, mais pas formidablement bien - suffisamment bien pour l'écrasante 
majorité des usages OSM, mais ne pas les prendre pour argent comptant en 
particulier dans les zones escarpées.

Le meilleur moyen de le savoir est de tester en utilisant un point de 
référence réputé précis - un repère géodésique par exemple. Apparemment 
le Cameroun est en train de se doter d'un nouveau réseau géodésique - 
mais j'ignore son statut.

[OSM-talk] Recent edits in the wiki / Trademark issue

2013-02-01 Per discussione Simon Poole
Dear OSM Contributors

As you may have noticed we have removed all links displaying the Google
geocoding service from the wiki. These changes are a consequence of a
legal issue with respect to the trademark GEOCODE owned by Geocode, Inc.
of Alexandria, Virginia, USA. There are likely to be further related
edits and changes both on the wiki and the help site. Please do not add
such removed links back or undo any such edits. If you find use of the
term geocode on our wiki or help site please replace it with a generic
term (for example search), or report it to my e-mail address.

Both the use of the term geocode and the use of the Google API are
merely incidental to us. Doing without them does not in any way impact
the core goals or operation of OSM.

Please address any questions on the matter to me by e-mail and not to
the list.

Plugging google geocode trademark issue and several variations of it
in three different search engines didn't give any meaningful results.

So unless you can explain to us why a foundation in the UK with servers
in the UK should be bothered by a trademark conflict between two other
parties on the other side of the Atlantic I'm going to ignore the
request not to use the word geocode.

My opinion? All this is irrelevant and OSM is fine to continue using 
geocode.


IANAL but I do work in a sector concerned with intellectual property and 
EU law; based on extensive prior art and extensive genericised usage of 
the word geocode any trademark of the word or phrase geo code or 
geocode is without merit and unenforceable. OSM's usage is itself a 
great example.


The USPTO has issued TMs and patents in the past that have been 
subsequently revoked or dismissed... And a US TM registration doesn't 
apply in Europe, OHIM has to issue a US TM reg. It's something we're 
actively involved with at work at the moment (contesting a registration 
and disputing a request for registration in other categories on a mark 
which we already have registered).


Checking the USPTO's TESS system just now, one registration is GEOCODE 
GLOBAL which is a service mark; one registration by Winfield Solutions 
is in the published for opposition stage so it's not been granted yet. 
It's for Turf Seed (Plant growth micronutrients) so doesn't and 
cannot apply to any usage in a geospatial context.


GEOCODE GLOBAL's service mark's current registration is: Goods and 
ServicesIC 042. US 100 101. G  S: brokerage services for use in 
generating geographic information displays, namely, brokerage in the 
field of geographical information related to maps and cartography. FIRST 
USE: 20020503. FIRST USE IN COMMERCE: 20020503


Its original registration GS classification was  IC 009. US 021 023 026 
036 038. G  S: Computer software for computing and identifying an exact 
location and time by creating a numeric geospatial coordinate 
measurement representation used in the field of geospatial analysis. 
FIRST USE: 19990726. FIRST USE IN COMMERCE: 2726


That they've not contested concurrent usage of the word geocode in 
other contexts for over a decade establishes precedent that any future 
attempts are likely unenforceable due to them not adequately protecting 
the registration. Even if they wanted to pick a fight, it would quite 
possibly be laughed out of court.


In any matter, the plaintiff would have to come to the UK and contest 
the matter in an English court though! Where we would very politely show 
them the door, after they'd paid costs of course. ;-)


tl;dr: OSMF is fine! Just carry on as before. Any letters from lawyers 
are just scaremongering, although I'd like to see them if any exist.

Hi. Regardless of that trademark business, I've checked Simon's edits 
and they mostly consist of removing links to google maps, which contain 
empty geocode parameter and them (and many other redundant parameters 
that editors didn't bother to omit). Some of the edits are quite funny, 
for example, 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Essex_Waydiff=prevoldid=861689 
(removed a link to display kml with google maps).


I cannot understand why links to google maps have become prohibited in 
our wiki, but there are probably one or two meaningful edits and lots of 
what can be called vandalism. For example, cleaning Copyright Easter 
Eggs pages from links to mentioned easter eggs.


So, I vote for 1) reverting all those edits; 2) explaining in detail 
what is prohibited (what words, which links etc.) and what is not; 3) 
editing wiki more thoroughly, so every edit could be understood.

IMHO if they are arguing solely upon basis of the word then Geocode's 
lawyer's argument is specious. To that end, they're just trademark 
trolling in a retcon attempt to show defence of a trade mark they 
shouldn't arguably have been granted in the first place.


On what grounds do they issue the CD against OSMF? Has it been detailed

exists and I'd very much like to see the notice. (Happy to discuss by

I fully agree - this is not about argument or logic but about laws. 
Unfortunately also about US laws where things easily get really, really

Because of the time constraints the removal of the google links is quite
rough, however most (as in all except a handful)  of the links were
either old, outdated, or/and unused, as for example essentially all
links to old errors in Google maps based on TeleAtlas data, which should
have been deleted years ago. Naturally you can add back sanitized links,
however I would in general question why we would want to use google data
in our own documentation in the first place (that is naturally a
different discussion).

As for the rest Jeff Meyer has summarized it nicely.

Hi. Since no one has explained, I'd quote a part from OSMF Board 
Meeting Minutes:


OSMF received C+D letter from someone who trademarked the word 
“Geocode(TM)” and asks us to remove all references to this from our web 
site where it is connected in some way with Google services. Simon is 
in contact with a lawyer about this. We might actually remove the few 
occurrences because they are not essential to us.


So, you can still use geocode as a word. But you cannot, as it seems, 
use it in relation with Google services. That is, no geocode using 
google and such. That's why some links to Google Maps were removed. I 
don't know about Nominatim, especially MapQuest's Nominatim, but to be 
on a safe side, better use search. And if you don't mention any 
services, you can use that word freely, as in now having parsed 
coordinates, do the reverse geocoding to aquire their human-readable 
locations. After all, the wikipedia page for Geocoding doesn't 
mention any trademarks (although it has Google Maps as its first 
reference).

I agree with what you're saying although I can't help thinking that if the
OSMF can't take the risk of having some things in the wiki, the solution,
for everyone's benefit, is to move the wiki to a server that's not paid for
by the OSMF.  I'm positive finding such a server wouldn't be difficult (in
fact the home page says it is hosted at UCL  ByteMark -- so if the OSMF is
neither hosting nor writing the content, should it accept the C+D?  The
admins *are* OSMF members, but they're not OSMF).  The OSMF has at some
point started assuming responsibility for what is being published in the
database and now on the wiki.  In the case of the database it makes sense
for someone to give some level of warranty that the data in it in fact is
legally usable, although the consequences of this step have had a terrible
effect on the map and the community so far.


 Yes, it sounds silly to trademark geocode, yes, it's a US-only thing, but
 these issues are solved in courts, with real money for real lawyers, not

You know, anything someone will say, who is not the judge, is just a well
reasoned argument (or not that well reasoned) and the law will have a final
word.  Doesn't mean that someone pointing out that the law makes it
unlikely for the owner of the GEOCODE trademark to sue a company in UK, or
for it to be costly to resolve, shouldn't be listened to.

Team - 

 

The OSMF BoD is doing the job for which its members were elected. Thank
goodness.

 

There's a trademark. We've been served notice (I believe). The board has
made a decision. The chairman of the board (probably a (tm) term...) has
communicated this decision.

 

Fine, disagree, but please disagree with a plan for how to fund your
alternate plan, describing in detail the source of new funds or what
other OSMF activities should be de-funded to support this plan.

 

Yes, it sounds silly to trademark geocode, yes, it's a US-only thing,
but these issues are solved in courts, with real money for real lawyers,
not well-reasoned arguments on email threads supported by personal moral
and ethical constructs and not law.

 

Personally, I'm glad the OSMF BoD is taking care of this so I don't have
to. As Mr. W said, I'd rather be mapping...

 I agree with what you're saying although I can't help thinking that if
 the OSMF can't take the risk of having some things in the wiki, the
 solution, for everyone's benefit, is to move the wiki to a server
 that's not paid for by the OSMF.  I'm positive finding such a server
 wouldn't be difficult (in fact the home page says it is hosted at UCL
  ByteMark -- so if the OSMF is neither hosting nor writing the
 content, should it accept the C+D?  The admins *are* OSMF members, but
 they're not OSMF).

Bad idea because a link to the OSMF can still be established.

But it reminds me of an obvious response - let's streisand them ! I have
no relationship to the OSMF in any way and I volunteer to mirror the
wiki with the infringing words - read-only since I have limited
processing power on my host. Does anyone have an archive of the latest
infringing version ? Let's produce a mirroring kit and spread it far and
wide !

The verb 'to geocode' is generic English language word and I'll stand by
that even if a US court decides otherwise. Silly fight ? Yes - I have
absolutely no skill whatsoever in choosing my battles ! Good thing I'm
not a US citizen.

You mentioned cleaning up the Wiki and the Help QA site.

What about mailing list archives? Will the OSMF then start deleting emails
if they contain Google Maps links?

 Because of the time constraints the removal of the google links is quite
 rough, however most (as in all except a handful)  of the links were either
 old, outdated, or/and unused, as for example essentially all links to old
 errors in Google maps based on TeleAtlas data, which should have been
 deleted years ago. Naturally you can add back sanitized links, however I
 would in general question why we would want to use google data in our own
 documentation in the first place (that is naturally a different discussion).

 As for the rest Jeff Meyer has summarized it nicely.

  Hi. Regardless of that trademark business, I've checked Simon's edits
 and they mostly consist of removing links to google maps, which contain
 empty geocode parameter and them (and many other redundant parameters
 that editors didn't bother to omit). Some of the edits are quite funny, for
 example,
 http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Essex_Waydiff=prevoldid=861689(removed
  a link to display kml with google maps).
 
  I cannot understand why links to google maps have become prohibited in
 our wiki, but there are probably one or two meaningful edits and lots of
 what can be called vandalism. For example, cleaning Copyright Easter Eggs
 pages from links to mentioned easter eggs.
 
  So, I vote for 1) reverting all those edits; 2) explaining in detail
 what is prohibited (what words, which links etc.) and what is not; 3)
 editing wiki more thoroughly, so every edit could be understood.

[OSM-talk] HOT Activations for humanitarian relief

2013-02-01 Per discussione Pierre Béland
Everybody remembers how the OSM community made the news in jan. 2010 with 
mapping for the Haiti Earthquake. Since then, the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap 
Team (HOT) has continued collaboration with various humanitarian NGO's and UN 
agencies to support humanitarian organizations for various disasters and 
humanitarian relief. 

The recent military conflicts in Democratic Republic of Congo, Mali and Syria 
have created a very complex humanitarian situation. There are presently  
hundred of thousand of people displaced and new people are displaced regularly. 
It is also very dificult for NGO's to circulate on the territory. The logistic 
to respond to these humanitarian needs necessitates good base maps that are 
generally not available in these countries. Then, the OSM community is very 
sollicited to collaborate to map rapidly these areas since the commercial 
mappers neglect these areas.

The HOT team recently activated humanitarian mapping support for these three 
countries at the request of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of 
Humanitarian Affairs for Mali (UNOCHA) and humanitarian organizations. With 
this very particular situation, we thought of asking other OSM contributors to 
collaborate to mapping these countries.


You can see the articles published on the HOT Blog to describe these 
activations.
- 
http://hot.openstreetmap.org/updates/2012-12-12_hot_pre_activation_south_and_north_kivu_democratic_republic_of_congo
- http://hot.openstreetmap.org/updates/2013-01-28_syria_activation
- http://hot.openstreetmap.org/updates/2013-02-01_Mali_Activation


The OSM Tasking Manager facilitates the coordination of the various remote 
mappers. We invite the OSM community in general to help the Humanitarian 
OpenStreetMap Team respond rapidly to this situation. Below are links to Task 
Manager jobs for these three countries.

- http://tasks.hotosm.org/#all/Congo
- http://tasks.hotosm.org/#all/Mali
- http://tasks.hotosm.org/#all/syria


Other then 
base mapping of various areas, we are asked to geolocate various Basic Services 
Utilities (ie.
Health facilities, Schools, Water points). This information is crucial for 
humanitarian organizations and we are looking for
volunteers with local knowledge of these countries to help us on this topic.
These mapping activities are lead by HOT members described below and 
coordination is generally done via the HOT distribution list 
http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot
.

- Democratic Republic of Congo : Pierre Béland with Claire Halleux has HOT 
contact in DR Congo

- Mali : Pierre Béland and Frédéric Bonifas
- Syria : Joseph Reeves
- Support to these teams by Nicolas and Kate Chapman

Please join us!

O jeito mais fácil que conheço é utilizar o plugin de turn restrictions do
JOSM para criar as restrições. Criar a restrição manualmente dá MUITO
trabalho. Para instalar o plugin basta ir em Preferências, na parte de
plugins, baixar a lista de plugins e marcá-lo para instalação. Veja os

 Also hier (Ostwestfalen-Lippe) weiß ich von mindestens einem Fall, in
 dem der Weg andersrum vor einigen Jahren gegangen wurde. Nachdem da die
 Häuser lange nach Baudatum durchnummeriert worden sind, haben sie dann
 doch Straßennamen und darin jeweils Nummern eingeführt, weil gerade
 Feuerwehr und Rettungsdienste immer mal wieder Schwierigkeiten hatten,
 ein Haus zu finden, das ja irgendwo im Ort liegen kann.
 Ich weiß allerdings nicht mehr, welches Kaff das genau war.

in meinem Heimatdorf (OWL) war die Entwicklung so:

Ursprüngliche Adresse Oldinghausen 7, nur Ortsname und Nummer (diese
AFAICT nach Größe der Höfe vergeben, nach Alter/Baujahr kann ich aber
auch nicht ausschließen)

Irgendwann wollte dann wohl vermutlich die Post zwingend einen
Straßennamen in der Adresse, also wurde aus Oldinghausen 7
Oldinghausen; Dorfstraße 7

Und im Rahmen der Eingemeindung in den 1970ern wurde daraus dann
Enger; Oldinghauser Straße 30 wobei die Namensgleichheit von
Dorf und Straße nur zufällig ist, an dieser liegen nur drei
Grundstücke mit den eher willkürlichen Nummern 25, 30 und 35,
der Rest des ursprünglichen Dorfes verteilt sich auf mindestens
5 andere Straßen ...

Irgendwann in den 90ern wurde dann sogar noch ein Feldweg von
Pödinghauser Straße in Pödinghauser Landweg umbenannt um
Verwechslungen mit einer weiteren Pödinghauser Straße in
der Nachbargemeinde auszuschließen. Beide zweigen mit ca. 2km
Abstand von derselben Landesstraße ab und die zum Nachbardorf
gehörende Straße ist die einzige für LKW freigegebene Strecke
von der Landesstraße zu den Betrieben in unserem Dorf.

Ich vermute mal das die Ursache für die Umbenennung war das
mindestens ein LKW-Fahrer Wegbeschreibungen der Art raus aus
$Stadt über die $Landesstraße und dann über die Pödinghauser
Straße von hinten an $betrieb in $dorf ranfahren falsch
interpretiert hat ohne sich zu wundern warum man ihn über einen
grade3 track jagen will ... sowas gabs ja auch schon in vor-Navi

Dass Nodekiller die Aktion nicht vorher diskutiert hat, ist nicht in

Wenn die Edits in den zentralen Azoren wirklich die Daten verschlechtert 
haben, dann koennen wir sie auch revertieren. Aber wir sollten nicht 
aus Prinzip revertieren (so nach dem Motto: Der hat aus dem 
500-Node-Way 100 geloescht, das MUSS ja eine Verschlechterung bedeuten). 
Denn in dem Fall ist die Gefahr gross, dass man durch den Revert 
zahlreiche unnoetige Nodes wieder einfuehrt.


Also - Revertieren aus Qualitaetsgruenden ist ok, Revertieren aus 
Prinzip ist eine Ausnahme, zu der wir nur bei besonders dreisten Faellen

 Osmand per provarlo. Tuttavia la versione gratuita disponibile sul Play
 Store dice che posso fare al massimo 10 download. Cosa significa questo?
 Posso scaricare 10 volte i dati, e poi basta? Posso avere contemporaneamente
 10 dataset e non di più?

Osmand è un programma open source rilasciato sotto licenza GPLv3,
quindi le limitazioni che hanno imposto sono facilmente aggirabili con
poco sforzo come altri ti hanno indicato, ed è perfettamente legale
farlo.

Ciò non toglie che comprare la versione a pagamento aiuta il progetto
(stiamo parlando di 6 euro), in sostanza è una via comoda per fare una
donazione agli sviluppatori (che mi pare stiano facendo un ottimo
lavoro).

 Domandina amletica:

 ma voi quando taggate un ristorante oltre ovviamente ad amenity=restaurant
 aggiungete anche name=Ristorante Da Pierino o semplicemente name=Da
 Pierino perché ristorante é un'
 informazione ridondante visto che c'é già nel tag amenity?


Non è ridondante. amenity=restaurant non mi dice se è un ristorante o un
ristorante pizzeria o una bisteccheria.


 E inoltre ho visto anche taggare in aggiunta con description:it=Trattoria
 (oppure Osteria)
 che ne dite?


Avevamo concordato un po' di tempo fa l'uso di restaurant:type:it=*
Vedi qui il taginfo italiano:

 Hurtigt review - indtil videre synes jeg ikke at den vil erstatte

 ser en force er som  brug på tablets, så du kan indsamle POIs og andre
 mindre ting, da iD kører på JavaScript og SVG og dermed kan bruges på
 iPads.

Tak for tippet! Det ser ellers rimeligt lovende ud.

Hvis der er andre der vil prøve det, så er her nogle caveats:

- det er tydeligvis ikke testet i Firefox så vil nok anbefale man
prøver Chrome/-ium

- der er nogle eksperimenter i UI'en hvor af nogle er vellykkede og
andre knap så meget :)

- og så mangler der selvfølgelig en del ting

Men det er en længe ventet udvikling, med Flash på vej i graven skulle
der jo ske noget på et eller andet tidspunkt.

Re: [Talk-dk] Naturstyrelsens data - nogen der har set dem?

2013-02-01 Per discussione Sonny B. Andersen
Hej Søren,-

Her er lidt info om de primitive overnatningspladser:

I forbindelse med en en ajourføring af bogen Overnatning i det fri i 2012
blev data (med stort besvær) overført fra NST UdiNaturen til Foreningen Frie
Fugle. Jeg har derfor stillet tre spørgsmål til konsulent i Friluftsrådet
Casper Lindemann, som er med i Erfa-gruppen, og hans svar har jeg sat i
gåseøjne:

1. Er der i forbindelse med den nye bog om primitive overnatningspladser
lavet særaftaler med Foreningen Frie Fugle, således at det nu er deres data?
 - Nej, der er ikke en aftale om at Foreningen Frie Fugle ejer data. Data
tilhører Friluftsrådets ERFA-gruppe for primitive overnatningspladser også
kaldet gruppen for OIDF. Foreningen Frie Fugle opdatere databasen over
pladsholdere og det modtager de penge for, men data tilhører ERFA-gruppen.

2. Er bogens data blevet ajourført af Foreningen?
 - Ja, Foreningen Frie Fugle opdaterer løbende databasen over pladsholdere.
Nye pladser og udgåede pladser indtastes løbende i databasen og
offentliggøres på www.teltpladser.dk

3. Er en evt. ajourføring sendt tilbage til UdiNaturen?
 - Nej. Foreningen Frie Fugle opdatere i øjeblikket ikke på udinaturen.dk.
Det skyldes at deres database ikke kan tale sammen med vores. Lidt teknisk
at forklare i mail. Men ERFA-gruppen arbejder på en aftale med
Naturstyrelsen som forhåbentlig kan løse problemet.



Mon ikke du kan lave en aftale med Casper og Friluftsrådets ERFA-gruppe. Det
ville være godt, hvis I kunne finde en form, der også indeholdt nogle tags
med info om faciliteter, kontakttelf. etc.

Emne: [Talk-dk] Naturstyrelsens data - nogen der har set dem?

Hej alle sammen

Jeg læser i dag på Geodatastyrelsens hjemmeside følgende

Hundeskovs-finderen er det første konkrete resultat af, at miljøminister
Ida Auken sidste år besluttede at frigive Naturstyrelsens data om
friluftsliv.
http://www.gst.dk/Nyheder/Nyheder_ny/hundeapp.htm

Måske der er noget jeg har overset men jeg har ikke kunne se nogen steder af
fx data til shelters, primitive camping places og andet der har med
friluftslivet at gøre ligger fremme.
Da der har været flere personer gennem tiderne her på Talk-Dk-OSM som har
efterlyst den slags data til at gøre OSM bedre, så vil jeg lige høre om
nogen af jer er bekendt med det og har fundet disse ovennævnte data? og
givet fald hvilken slags licens er det så under.

Mvh

Si, por lo general en estos casos se comrpueba si el polígono del building
es idéntico al de la parcela o si su diferencia es prácticamente 0.
En las poblaciones que hemos probado los casos se detectaban bastante bien
pero dado que en Catastro muchas cosas las dibujan mal, puede ser que en
los casos que estás encontrando Cat2Osm2 no haya deducido que se podían
unir.

¿Puedes enviarnos una imagen o el archivo para ver por qué puede ser?

[Talk-es] Duda sobre etiquetación

2013-02-01 Per discussione Ulises Ibarra
Hola Lista:

Estoy agregando una información de unos comercios dentro de una calle en la
Ciudad de México. Simplemente se me complica mucho.

¿Podrían decirme donde puedo encontrar cómo etiquetar lo siguiente?

1.- El número de portal de las propiedades. Por ejemplo: Un propiedad en
calle Clavería, número 161, 2 niveles de construcción.

2.- En el caso de que en una propiedad, por ejemplo, una casa hayan
destinados una parte a comercio, restaurante, etc. ¿Tendría que dibujar

Hola Ulises,

2013/2/1 Ulises Ibarra ulisesmartiniba...@gmail.com

 1.- El número de portal de las propiedades. Por ejemplo: Un propiedad en
 calle Clavería, número 161, 2 niveles de construcción


Para el número de la calle:
addr:housenumber=161
más detalles en: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/ES:Key:addr

Para los niveles de construcción:
building:levels=2
más detalles en: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:building:levels


 2.- En el caso de que en una propiedad, por ejemplo, una casa hayan
 destinados una parte a comercio, restaurante, etc. ¿Tendría que dibujar
 todo el polígono indicando la dirección y otros polígonos interiores con
 los distintos usos de suelo o basta con poner un nodo encima de cada
 comercio? Es decir, ¿se vale poner un nodo encima de un polígono?


Si quieres puedes entretenerte a hacer el mapeo del interior:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/IndoorOSM (cosa que nunca he hecho y
parece compleja), pero si no se trata de una gran superfície quizás lo más
fácil es, en mi opinión, crear un nodo para cada comercio encima del
polígono.
Quizás alguién puede aconsejarte otra cosa.

Un saludo!

Sobre esto Ander y yo hemos tenido alguna discusión. Quizá puedan ayudarnos. 
La discusión es cual de las siguientes opciones es lo que se debería de hacer:

a) El nodo con el uso debe de ir en el way del edificio (en donde está la 
   entrada de la tienda o lo que sea) con un entrance=yes y los datos del 
comercio.
   (pero no su número y demás pues lo hereda del edificio en el que está).
b) El nodo está flotando en el área del edificio y contiene toda la información 
de
   localización (calle, número, y demás) además de los datos del uso.

Obviamente con IndoorOSM la cosa no tiene discusión porque las tiendas pasan 
a ser subparcelas como los cultivos de catastro :P

A ver si nos sacáis de dudas.

 Nop hat sowas mal gemacht

Klar, daher kommt ja auch der signifikant Begriff und Frederiks Frage (Welche
Bäume scheinen in Nops Wander-/Reitkarte auf?).

 denotation=natural_monument ist dafür üblich,
 obwohl ich den Key idiotisch finde, weil damit unterschiedliche Arten von
 Informationen vermantscht werden.

Naja, der ganze denotation Key kommt von der Nopschen
Baumsignifikantdiskussion und ja, er ist idiotisch. Besser wäre jeweils
sachbezogen:

- das ist eine Landmarke (wobei wir da wieder bei der Seekartendiskussion sind,
weil für die wieder nur vom Meer aus sichtbare Dinge Landmarken sind)
- das ist ein Naturdenkmal

Und Nop kann sich dann aussuchen, was davon er darstellt.

 Besser wär sowas wie natural_monument=yes oder protection=natural_monument 
 o.ä. 

Ich finde natural=monument noch immer bestechend. ;)

Und die ref-Nummer müßte eben auch getaggt werden (Wiener Naturdenkmäler sind
durchnummeriert).

natural=monument


natural=* (ver)brauchen wir schon für natural=tree/cave_entrance/etc.
natural=* ist ein physisches Tag, während der Umstand, dass etwas ein 
Naturdenkmal ist, eher eine immaterielle Eigenschaft ist (wenn man vom 
Naturdenkmal-Taferl absieht, und gerade dieses ist nicht natürlich).



ref:naturdenkmal=#
ref:wien:naturdenkmal=#
ref:natural_monument=#


Da es Naturdenkmäler wahrscheinlich nicht nur im deutschen Sprachraum gibt, 
bin ich für einen englischsprachigen Key. Die Frage ist halt, ob ref am 
Anfang stehen soll, wenn es bei cave:ref und tree:ref am Ende steht.


Bei der Gelegenheit können wir uns auch gleich was für Kulturdenkmäler 
überlegen.

Die OSBs im Raum Innsbruck habe ich einigermaßen im Blick (und verwende
sie zwischendurch selbst als Notizzettel, wenn ich nur mit dem Handy
unterwegs bin (OsmAnd)). Die davon kann/will ich gerade nicht lösen
(will jetzt keine Wanderung irgendwo im Wald unternehmen) und manche
lasse ich stehen, weil ich sie nett/lustig finde, beispielsweise:
http://openstreetbugs.schokokeks.org/?lat=47.25816lon=11.38771zoom=17layers=B0T

http://www.mapdust.com/ liefert mitunter auch wertvolle Informationen
(neben viel nutzloser Fehlermeldungen). Darüber habe ich heute zwei
Richtungen von Einbahnen richtiggestellt.

Not currently. I'm working on adding an overlay (transparent layer)

I only have the year the imagery was captured in.

Roughly the imagery is as follows:
 * Western Cape: 2009/2010
 * Northern Cape (Northern Section): 2008/2009

 * Eastern Cape: 2011/2012

Re: [Talk-ca] Sidewalks

2013-02-01 Per discussione nicholas ingalls
My personal preference is to enable the JOSM sidewalk style and then use
the sidewalk:right sidewalk:left, sidewalk:both, or sidewalk:none tags on
the actual street. The footpaths are just about useless (as in the example
above) as they are not related to the street in anyway. So the routing
engine couldn't say turn left onto Maple Street. It could only  say turn
left. If the tags are on the actual street and not separately mapped, it is
much easier for a routing engine.

Cheers,
ingalls

 Personally I don't map sidewalks like that but I respect local
 mappers' work and would not change this, as it isn't really wrong. I
 don't think there's a strong consensus to map sidewalks merely as
 attributes of the adjoining road, and there are a lot of problems with
 that approach, too. E.g. how to mapp accessibility features like curb
 cuts or the need to chop ways into tiny segments in cases where
 sidewalks appear and disappear.

[Talk-ca] Activations humanitaires, Groupe HOT

2013-02-01 Per discussione Pierre Béland


Tout le monde se souvient de la façon dont la communauté OSM a fait la une en 
janvier 2010 lors du tremblement de terre en Haïti. Depuis lors, le groupe 
humanitaire Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) a poursuivi sa 
collaboration avec diverses ONG humanitaires et agences de l'ONU pour 
soutenir les organisations humanitaires lors de diverses catastrophes dans le 
but de faciliter 
l'aide humanitaire.

Les récents conflits militaires en République démocratique du Congo, au 
Mali et en Syrie ont créé une situation humanitairetrès complexe. Des centaines 
de milliers de personnes sont actuellement déplacées et de nouvelles personnes 
sont déplacées régulièrement. Il est également très dificile pour les ONG de 
circuler sur le territoire. La logistique pour répondre à ces besoins 
humanitaires nécessite de bonnes cartes 
de base qui ne sont généralement pas disponibles dans ces pays. La communauté 
OSM est très sollicitée pour collaborer à cartographier 
rapidement ces régions tandis que les services de cartes commerciaux négligent 
ces pays.

L'équipe de HOT a récemment activé des actions de cartographie pour supporter 
l'organisation des actions humanitaires pour ces 
trois pays, ce à la demande de l'Office des Nations Unies pour la 
coordination des affaires humanitaires (UNOCHA) et des 
organisations humanitaires dans ces trois pays. Compte-tenu decette situation 
très particulière et de la tâche à accomplir, nous sollicitons l'aide 
d'autres contributeurs OSM pour cartographier ces pays en fonction des besoins 
des organisations humanitaires.

Vous pouvez voir les articles publiés sur le Blog HOT pour décrire ces 
activations.

-

- Http://hot.openstreetmap.org/updates/2013-01-28_syria_activation
- http://hot.openstreetmap.org/updates/2013-02-01_activation_pour_le_mali

Le Gestionnaire de tâches OSM facilite la coordination de la cartographie à 
distance (Crowdmapping) par les différents contributeurs. Nous invitons la 
communauté OSM en général à venir aider l'équipe HOT à 
répondre rapidement à cette situation humanitaire urgente. Voici des liens vers 
les sections du Gestionnaire de tâches pour ces trois pays.

- http://tasks.hotosm.org/#all/Congo
- http://tasks.hotosm.org/#all/Mali
- http://tasks.hotosm.org/#all/syria

En plus de la cartographie de base, nous sommes invités à 
géolocaliser divers services de base (ie. établissements de 
santé, écoles et. points d'eau). Cette information est cruciale pour les 
organisations humanitaires et nous 
recherchons des bénévoles ayant la connaissance locale de ces pays 
pour nous aider à ce sujet.

Ces activités de cartographie coordonnées par les membres de HOT décrits 
ci-dessous et par 
l'intermédiaire de la liste de distribution 
http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot HOT
.
- République démocratique du Congo: Pierre Béland avec Claire Halleux à titre 
de contact HOT en RD Congo
- Mali: Pierre Béland et Frédéric Bonifas
- Syrie: Joseph Reeves
- Le soutien à ces équipes par Nicolas et Kate Chapman
