 substituir
  os traçados que acompanham a orla de um rio ou oceano pelos

  algo que eu deixaria para as pessoas interessadas fazerem na

  Adicionei a tag leisure=nature_reserve tanto aos parques

 anos).
  Quando isso for resolvido, aquelas tags podem ser removidas.
 
  Por fim, queria mencionar que eu estou tentando obter

Re: [Talk-br] ICMBio

2013-11-11 Per discussione Ulf Mehlig

Oi Augusto,

se fazer uma importação automatizada, por favor considere que algumas 
áreas de conservação já se encontram no OSM, e que não deveriam ser 
sobrepostas ou substituídas sem controle manual. Por exemplo, o mapa no 
OSM da RESEXmar Caeté-Taperaçu aqui na região de Bragança-PA, editado 
manualmente de acordo com o documento oficial que especifica 
detalhadamente os limites, é diferente do mapa do IBAMA (que apresenta 
erros ...).


Abraço, Ulf

Re: [OSM-talk] Boundaries in Brazil

2010-11-06 Per discussione Ulf Mehlig
Hello Maarten,

at least in part the double borders are due to double import from IBGE
(Brazilian Institute for Geography and Statistics) public domain data. I
don't know details about the gml2osm import, but for Pará state, for
example, imports where done independently by Claudomiro Nascimento
Junior and me. I tried to fix a few things manually but (obviously) did
not finish. A bot solution might be interesting, if manual changes to
the border would be preserved. I'll forward this message to the
Brazilian talk list.

Thanks alot!
Ulf

em português:

(Maarten Dean perguntou sobre fronteiras duplas no Brazil com
fonte IBGE, em parte com rótulo criado por gml2osm. Esta
última parece mais detalhada, mas não é utilizada em relações.
Ele sugere solucionar o problema através de um programa que
corrige os dados automaticamente (bot).)

Pelo menos em parte as fronteiras duplas tem origem na importação dupla
de dados em domínio público do IBGE. Não sei detalhes sobre a importação
por gml2osm, mas pelo menos no estado do Pará, dados foram importados
independentemente por Claudomiro e por mim. Tentei concertar umas coisas
manualmente, mas obviamente não terminei. Uma solução automática poderia
ser interessante, caso preservasse mudanças feitas manualmente. Estou
mandando este email à lista brasileira do OSM.

 Looking at the data, both boundaries are source=IBGE, but there is an older, 
 mostly more detailed border with created_by=gml2osm which is not used in 
 relations and a newer, less detailed one that is used in relations.
 
 I don't know what happened here, but is there something which can be done by

[OSM-talk] coastline in mapnik

2010-11-05 Per discussione Ulf Mehlig
I'm waiting for my last week's coastline changes to become visible on
the main site's mapnik layer:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-0.7596lon=-47.049zoom=12layers=M

I tried to avoid caching problems, and I triggered re-rendering of the
affected tiles by tagging them as dirty ... Osmarender shows the
coastline correctly.

Does anybody know how to proceed?

[OSM-talk] collection/street relation: which one to use?

2010-08-18 Per discussione Ulf Mehlig
It has been a while since the use of collection and street relations
for collections of ways belonging to the same street have been
discussed. I just had a look at 

http://tagwatch.stoecker.eu/Planet/En/top_undocumented_relations.html

and both relations area apparently ±equally used. Of course I understand
that everybody should tag what he/she thinks suits him/her best, but in
rather fundamental cases like this I personally would prefer a
somewhat coordinated approach ;-)

I would be interested in your opinion on preference for one of the types
(there is a short discussion on one of the talk pages, focussing on the
dilemma of being too specific/too fundamental), as I'm trying to
make up my mind which one to use here in north Brazil, where neither of
both relations have been much applied yet.

Thanks! Ulf

Re: [OSM-talk] collection/street relation: which one to use?

2010-08-18 Per discussione Ulf Mehlig
However, associatedStreet is maybe not the most obvious choice for
joining, say, the segments of a motorway; at least I thought,
associatedStreet would be used for associating single ways (street
segments) with waypoints (symbolising addresses along the street
segment) only. In addition (being, however, no native speaker of
English), using associatedStreet for a collection of ways sounds
strange to me.

... and then there is also the tag relatedStreet -- what's that? :-)

 True, it's not two but three relations proposals for the same purpose:
 collection, street and associatedStreet 
 
 Althoughcollection is not limited to streets, it's also proposing
 street addresses members...
 
 
 Since associatedStreet was historicaly the first proposal including
 house numbers and is the most popular according to Tagwatch, I would
 suggest to deprecate the street proposal and remove streets from the
 collection proposal.

[OSM-talk] help with multipolygons

2009-11-09 Per discussione Ulf Mehlig
I'm trying to make a map of coastal vegetation in north Brazil:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-0.92649lon=-46.66564zoom=16layers=B000FTF

I used multipolygons to specify adjacent wetland types (natural=wetland
+ wetland=mangrove/wetland=marsh) and neighbouring terrestrial forest,
tagging the relations, not the ways. Terrestrial forests are on
islands within marshes and mangroves (the mapnik map of
www.openstreetmap.org does not differentiate between wetland=marsh and
wetland=mangrove).

The rendering on the main site works somehow, but, for example, the
south-eastern forest
islands and surrounding marshes receive an extra cover of the wetland
pattern. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to figure out the error.

Does anybody see whether this is a tagging/relation-building error of
mine, or whether this is just due to limitations of the current
renderers? I think it might be rather a rendering problem, because
mapnik gets it apparently right on my computer (see attached PNG tile).

Thanks for your help!

Re: [Talk-br] Mais uma apresentação

2009-10-28 Per discussione Ulf Mehlig
Concordo contigo -- a tua observação sobre o tráfego e as implicações
para o roteamento através do GPS coincidem com o que eu queria dizer com
função das estradas. E é claro que o que seria secondary etc. depende
um pouco do avaliador.

O exemplo para estradas sem asfalto etc. coloquei justamente por que nas
sugestões mencionadas anteriormente apareceram aquelas descrições em
respeito à superfície.

A quantidade de ruas unclassified depende com certeza do tipo da
cidade e do bairro ... os centros comerciais das cidades deveriam ter
menos ruas residenciais, mesmo se tem gente morando, na minha
opinião ... mas isso já são detalhes :-)

On Wed, 2009-10-28 at 19:25 +0100, Ricardo Padilha wrote:
 Alguns comentários:
 
 2009/10/28 Ulf Mehlig ulf.meh...@gmx.net:
  Por que evitar unclassified?! É simplesmente um tag para ruas/estradas
  que não tem denominação oficial (em contraste a primary, secondary e
  tertiary), e que não são residenciais ... Deve ser a maioria das ruas em
  muitos lugares!
 
 Eu gosto de usar a cidade de Kalrsruhe como exemplo, dado que eles
 praticamente definiram muitos dos padrões usados (isso e o fato de que
 morei lá alguns anos, e portanto conheço as ruas pessoalmente). Se
 você olhar no centro de Karlsruhe, praticamente não existem ruas
 unclassified. Ou é tertiary ou é residential. Me parece que o fator
 para decidir se uma rua é residencial ou não é o tráfico. E a decisão
 sobre se é secondary ou tertiary é baseada na capacidade da rua
 acomodar tráfego ou não. Ou seja, uma rua estreita, apesar de ter
 muito tráfego na vida real, ainda é tertiary.
 
 As ruas primary (exemplo: Kriegstraße [1]) são ruas que tem duas vias
 para cada lado, separadas por canteiro central ou guard-rail.
 
  Em respeito à área rural: aqui no norte, pelo menos, a gente tem
  estradas que tem significância (e denominação, ex BR-xx) de uma
  secondary ou até primary, mas estão sem asfalto (ou com tão pouco de
  asfalto entre os buracos, que uma pista de chão seria melhor de qualquer
  jeito).
 
 A qualidade da superfície da estrada não deveria ter a ver com sua
 classificação. Se eu me lembro bem, é para isso que servem os tags
 surface[2] e tracktype[3]. (Me corrijam se eu estiver errado)
 
  Acho também (ainda) que não deve-se exagerar o uso de primary, secondary
  e tertiary dentro de cidades. Se são ruas arteriais que conectam bairros
  importantes, tudo bem; mas praticamente qualquer pista dupla asfaltada?
 
 Eu acredito que sim, se faz sentido do ponto de vista de tráfego.
 
  Porém, tenho as vezes a
  impressão que estas discussões estão mais determinadas pelo rendering
  atual do OSM, e então pela cor das ruas no mapa do site principal (quero
  as ruas no meu bairro todas amarelas ;-) Este tagging for the
  renderers não é visto positivo por uma parte significante dos
  integrantes do OSM ...
 
 Se todas as ruas do seu bairro oferecem a mesma capacidade de
 comportar tráfego, e essa capacidade é superior que a das ruas
 vizinhas, então deveriam ser mapeadas em um nível que indica essa
 diferença, independente de estarem no seu bairro ou não.
 
 Pessoalmente, eu tageio no OSM sempre pensando em um navegador GPS.
 Ou seja, se a gente considera que cada nível teria prioridade de rota
 sobre o inferior, então eu tento classificar as ruas conforme o meu
 conhecimento sobre elas, e como eu gostaria que uma determinada rua
 fosse utilizada pelo sistema de navegação.
 
 Em outras palavras, se eu sei que uma determinada rua é estreita e não
 foi preparada para receber grande volume de tráfego, eu coloco como
 residential.
 
 Se for uma grande avenida, com quatro vias separadas por canteiro
 central e interrompidas apenas por semáforos em crusamentos, eu coloco
 primary, dado que estas deveriam (em teoria) suportar o maior fluxo de
 tráfego.
 
 Se for uma rua, que apesar de não ser duplicada, tem faixas largas
 e/ou tem os semáforos ajustados para maximizar o fluxo de tráfego,
 então é secondary.
 
 Se for uma rua de tráfego pesado, mas do mesmo porte que uma
 residential, eu coloco tertiary. Ou seja, tertiary é um compromisso
 entre menor prioridade possível mas sem incomodar os bairros
 residenciais com tráfego desnecessário. ;-)
 
 Att,
 Ricardo

Re: [Talk-br] limites municipais: admin_level + fronteira nacional

2009-08-01 Per discussione Ulf Mehlig
Já existem uns limites municipais visíveis ao longo da costa Paraense
(parcialmente bagunçados no Mapnik desde uns dias em Bragança, não sei,
por que). No Pará, na verdade, existem todos os municípios + a fronteira
estadual, mas na minha importação recente, coloquei os tags nas
relations, não nos ways, e acredito que os renderers não os utilizam
assim. Coloquei admin_level=6, que achei adequado, comparando com os
Landkreis na Alemanha (área com uma cidade principal e possivelmente
várias cidades/vilas menores). Claudomiro está atualmente dando uma
olhada ao meu script de importação para avaliar se pode ser utilizado de
forma melhorada para outros estados.

  Vamos estabelecer que quem quiser propor mudar o nível de municípios de

Re: [Talk-br] limites municipais: admin_level

2009-07-30 Per discussione Ulf Mehlig
Hmm, a pergunta é qual é o sentido de misturar admin_level com alguma
coisa que um cara no IBGE inventou para fazer alguma estatística que
praticamente ninguém lê ;-)

Para mim, admin_level tem a ver com administração -- não tenho nada
contra a ideia de utilizar um outro tipo de boundary para as
xxx-regiões. 

Em respeito à equivalência, é claro que nunca é possível de conseguir
níveis equivalentes entre países diferentes; mas acredito que faz
sentido de procurar, digamos, admin_levels que são +-próximos àqueles de
outros países, pois facilita a orientação no mapa.

 Well, since the hypercube server is well and truly kaput at the moment, 
 that is to be expected. The coastline checker runs on hypercube, and the 
 slippy map above loads tiles from hypercube.

[OSM-talk] coastline

2009-06-12 Per discussione Ulf Mehlig
I'd like to know whether the coastline shapefile for Mapnik is still
rendered once in a while ... I updated the Brazilian coastline around

http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-1.512lon=-45.498zoom=9layers=0B00FTF

some time ago, and while it's displayed nicely in Osmarender, Mapnik
lacks behind. http://hypercube.telascience.org/~kleptog/ is not
accessible; the Coastline Checker also still does not work apparently.
Lennard was so kind to point me to an alternative server
(dev.openstreetmap.nl) a short while ago, but

http://dev.openstreetmap.nl/coastlines.html?zoom=9lat=-1.59059lon=-45.26367layers=B00T

shows a blank map to me.

Any news?
Thanks, Ulf

[OSM-talk] wetland type rendering rules in mapnik xml?

2009-04-06 Per discussione Ulf Mehlig
Hello,

I'm currently experimenting to render a map via mapnik from OSM data in
a postgresql database, +- as described in

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mapnik_Example

However, I've come to a dead end trying to render different types of
wetland areas tagged according to 

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:natural%3Dwetland

with different colours/patterns via (naive) rules like

Style name=leisure
   [...]
Rule
  MaxScaleDenominator10/MaxScaleDenominator
  Filter[natural] = 'wetland' and [wetland] = 'mangrove'/Filter
  PolygonPatternSymbolizer file= ./mangrove.png type=png width=80 
height=80/
/Rule
Rule
  MaxScaleDenominator10/MaxScaleDenominator
  Filter[natural] = 'wetland' and [wetland] = 'marsh'/Filter
  PolygonSymbolizer
CssParameter name=fill#d6e799/CssParameter
 /PolygonSymbolizer
/Rule
   [...]

Am I right in presuming that rules like this cannot be used without
changing the database structure? Are there any possibilities to achieve
mapnik rendering of different wetland types given the current tagging
scheme?

Many thanks for your help!

[Talk-br] divisas municipais

2009-03-10 Per discussione Ulf Mehlig
Importei na nossa região umas divisas municipais do IBGE:

http://www.informationfreeway.org/?lat=-1.080901272755079lon=-46.76762815382903zoom=10layers=0F0B0F

Me parece que as divisas são pouco exatas (como a gente também já viu na
importação das estradas) -- onde seguem a linha da costa, tem
divergências grandes, e é bem provável que no interior a situação é
comparável. A minha pergunta: Existem fontes alternativas (e públicas)
que poderiam ser utilizadas para a correção destas divisas? Deve ter
decretos sobre a criação dos municípios ...

Na costa pelo menos da para corrigir também com bom senso, mas deve
ser discutido se podemos ou não manipular divisas de uma fonte
oficial ... Gostaria de ouvir a sua opinião!

Re: [Talk-br] Classificação de rodovias

2009-03-06 Per discussione Ulf Mehlig
Nas cidades não tem primary etc. ... Se a rua é reservada ex. para
carro, e se não tem acesso para pedestre etc. (quer dizer, tem todas as
características de um motorway _fora_ da cidade, que por acaso
atravessa a cidade), acredito é nada errado especificar motorway etc.,
mas as ruas normais, mesmo com pista dupla, seriam unclassified. 
Ruas sem dominância de lojas, prédios altos, comércio etc. seriam
residential (e aquelas onde criança pode brincar na rua sem correr
risco de ser atropelados, living_street). Pelo menos é usado assim
fora do Brasil. As palavras primary etc. vem da classificação oficial
de estradas na Inglaterra, e não deveriam ser traduzidos 1:1 ao
português ...

E como já escrevi anteriormente, além do estado físico, a função
(ligando cidades, vilas, vilarejos ...) importa, então pode ter (em uns
casos) estradas tipo secondary (ou até primary?) sem asfalto. Quando
existe canteiro central, deveríamos digitalizar dois ways com
one-way=yes, independentemente se se trata de uma residential ou um
motorway.

[OSM-talk] rendering of areas with patterns

2008-11-19 Per discussione Ulf Mehlig
I've a (slightly off-topic) question regarding rendering of areas with
background patterns in mapnik/osmarender. For example,
Tag:landuse=cemetery has such a (regular) background pattern. However, I
would like to render natural-type areas, looking perhaps like this:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Image:Wetland_symbols.png

For these types, more irregularly spaced patterns would be preferable,
and it would be great if e.g. tree symbols would not get clipped at the
area borders. 

My questions: does somebody have experience with preparing background
patterns for natural area types, like woods, wetlands etc.? How do I
prepare/tailor the bitmap tiles (margins, size, resolution, number of
colours) used to render the pattern effectively? Can vector tiles be
used? Am I right in assuming that a more random looking distribution
cannot easily be obtained?

Thanks for your help!

mangroves, tidal salt-marsh, marshland, and bogs. Wetlands are
also typically found at the fringes of rivers, lakes or along
the coastline [...]

Re: [OSM-talk] map display www.openstreetmap.org

2008-10-10 Per discussione Ulf Mehlig
I think the fact that several people presented more or less fiddly ways
to obtain coordinates from the OSM map shows that there is at least some
need to have a coordinate display feature for www.openstreetmap.org. I
don't see that coordinates inserted below Permalink (as in Frederik's
example) or in any of the other corners clutter the map to an
unacceptable degree. Coordinate display could also be switched on/off
via the layers dialog -- people who are scared off by coordinates won't
open it, would they? Juan Lucas Dominguez Rubio's suggestion to display
coordinates when the mouse pointer lingers for some seconds at the same
spot is maybe even more elegant.

I also suspect that with GPS chips in many cell phones etc., one or the
other user who does not know what coordinates are might try to figure
it out ... with his/her old schoolbooks + openstreetmap maybe ;-)

Re: [OSM-talk] map display www.openstreetmap.org

2008-10-04 Per discussione Ulf Mehlig
Thanks, Frederik and Steve!

I see Steve's point; especially coordinates at map borders within the
browser window would most probably not enhance map display. However, a
nice coordinate display like Frederik's wouldn't hurt, would it ;-) Many
thanks for the java script example.

In respect to map *export* I still think that an option to create map
borders with coordinates would be helpful. I did not find anything
especially helpful in respect to rendering of map borders in
mapnik/osmarender documentation. Can anybody give me a hint where to
look, or an example how to render an OSM-based map with such borders?

 Ulf, with just a little bit of Javascript you can create your own 
 version of an OpenStreetMap map, just like informationfreeway.org, and 
 modify it to your heart's content.
 
 Here is an example that displays the mouse position in degrees, minutes, 
 and seconds:
 
 http://www.remote.org/frederik/tmp/degrees.html
 
 (This was a bit nasty as the OpenLayers version currently used by 
 informationfreeway, from which I simply copied the page, does not 
 support easy overriding of the coordinate display; newer OpenLayers 
 versions would only require 10 lines of code instead of the 30 lines or 
 so I had to put in here.)
 
 Steve is right in saying that the general public doesn't know their 
 latitude from their longitude and has no desire to be educated on this; 
 but of course this does not keep us from making alternative 
 OpenStreetMap pages aimed at people who do.

Thank you, Simon. I'm not sure whether we correctly understood each
other; I might have been too brief in my previous email. I am less
interested in somehow finding out about the coordinates limiting the
current section of the map I'm viewing but in having the coordinates
*displayed* on screen while panning and zooming, and I would like to
have them included in the exported maps. For many printed maps (possibly
derived from exported OSM data) such borders are necessary or at least
helpful (well, maybe not in the centre of some larger city). The mouse
pointer coordinates would just be helpful to quickly check geographic
positions.

Re: [OSM-talk] map display www.openstreetmap.org

2008-10-01 Per discussione Ulf Mehlig
Hello Frederik, thanks for your answer. The coordinate display at
www.informationfreeway.org is what I was looking for. Wouldn't it be
possible to integrate this function into the main OpenStreetMap site? I
think this would definitely improve the attractiveness of the map
display (even more, if degree-minute-second based coordinates would
appear, too -- for many people, the decimal coordinates are not what
they're used to).

In respect to the select different area technique  etc.: While any
true OSM enthusiast is of course able to help him/herself with tricks
like this, I observed that it is rather difficult this way to convince
not primarily technically interested people to give OSM a try. I am of
course aware of the fact that OSM is a geographic data collection
project and no nice-map-display-site but a really great map
display/export facility on the main site would make it IMHO so much
easier to make people use it and then join it :-)

Thanks again,
Ulf

In the area where I am working at the moment 

http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-0.85lon=-46.991zoom=9layers=0B0FTF

(almost) all the coastline is drawn along the outer border of mangrove
forests, so it is considered as land. I tagged mangroves at

http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-0.8964lon=-46.6742zoom=12layers=0B0FTF

as natural=wetland tentatively ... I would like to see the wetland tag
voted/approved/rendered -- it could help to map a not-so-small part of
tropical coastlines correctly! 

BTW, there is a mangrove island in this area rendered correctly in
Osmarender but not in Mapnik, in spite of a multipolygon relation which
is correct in my opinion:

[OSM-talk] area topology

2008-05-13 Per discussione Ulf Mehlig
Please excuse me if this is a FAQ, I just didn't find an answer in the
wiki (possibly because it is obvious) ... 

In topological GISses like grass, borders are shared between adjacent
(vector) areas. However, I wonder how adjacent areas should be digitized
in OSM (let's say, forests and farmland, or riverbanks and the
associated wetlands). Am I right in assuming that OSM ways always belong
to one single area? If this is so, do I have to duplicate ways along the
common border? JOSM informs about double ways when it validates data so
I had the slight impression that they are not really wanted.

I see a similar problem with line data (e.g. roads, streams) which may
happen to be an area border. From reading

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Editing_Standards_and_Conventions#Tagging_Areas

I think that using a street as a border of a plaza (or a block of
buildings) is not wanted. Does one digitize double ways, leading along
the same nodes, or does one make a separate area in a small distance to
the existing line (street/stream), which might be topologically
incorrect and is more difficult to maintain?

Thanks for your advice!
Ulf

[OSM-talk] rendering of large rivers

2008-05-07 Per discussione Ulf Mehlig
Hello, I'm looking for information about the present status of the
Large River proposal (from the Wiki) viz. its consequences for
rendering. I found that Osmarender renders a river in my area

http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-1.0155lon=-46.7088zoom=12layers=0BFT

correctly, while Mapnik prints only the waterway=riverbank lines at high
zoom levels but does not fill the river areas. I noticed a similar
problem with River Thames:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=51.38037lon=-0.45917zoom=16layers=B0FT

What is the best way to get large rivers rendered properly for now?

Thanks for your help ...
Ulf

[OSM-talk] help with coastline

2008-04-30 Per discussione Ulf Mehlig
Hello openstreetmap experts,

I tried to add a few details to a segment of the coastline of northern
Brazil, but as I see today on Mapnik this caused some disorder in the
coastline rendering (it looked almost ok in the slippy map/Osmarender,
though).

I would appreciate if one of the more experienced coastliners could help
me to find the error(s) -- I'm stuck at the moment!

The area in question is 

http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-0.9293lon=-46.6796zoom=12layers=B0FT

Many thanks in advance (and sorry for the mess ...)
Ulf
