Re: [talk-ph] DPWH 2012 Road Data

Well, there's a loophole in that provision.

If what you get from the government is *pure data* (numerical coordinates,
etc.), then you can't use it in OSM without permission. This is the idea
behind the DepEd and DOH data we are getting/trying to get.

On the other hand, if what you get is an image (e.g., map), then you are
free to take facts that you can see when you look at the image/map. The
Philippine IP Law follows the US IP Code in that facts aren't
copyrightable. You can't use or distribute the map itself for commercial
purposes without permission, or copy the creative aspects of the map (which
are copyrightable) such as colors, styling, cartography, etc. without
permission, for commercial purposes. But you can get facts that you have
interpreted from the image and use that in any manner you choose because
facts aren't copyrightable and the government did not give you that fact
outright.

Of course, we can just ask DPWH for permission. There's an email address on
the website: taduran.er...@dpwh.gov.ph

I'm not sure I can give you a straightforward answer since I am confused
myself sometimes. :)

There is a concept of derived database and produced work in odbl. Depending
on how you use osm data and distribute the output, it may fall on either of
the above category.

In fact, the default map tile is not odbl but cc-by-sa.

The wiki has sample use cases.

I think government use of osm is what most of us want. I'm actually curious
why they use osm over other webmap service.
Is it easier to use? Nice cartography? Better data?

How can we help them even further beyond using osm as a background layer?

Which precisely why we can't directly copy from government data unless
there is explicit permission. OSM encourages commercial use.

Maning,
it's obviously OSM basemap under the Baguio jpg right? in fact get a copies
as proof in the future. How does copyright works? Enlighten us. I
understand if they add new info on top of that OSM map, then they're
obligated to share the new info back to OSM? I guess the dpwh's copyright

I say let DPWH use it more on their projects silently, so that we'll have

Clicking on Region IV-A on DPWH link:
http://www.dpwh.gov.ph/infrastructure/Road%20Data/2012%20Road%20Data%20for%20Ipad/region_iv_a.htm

Is it safe to classify Caylabne Road a trunk (an extension of Governor's
Drive)?
How about Naic-to-Mendez and the Tanza-Trece Martirez roads?

Weird, Aguinaldo Highway & Sta-Rosa-Tagaytay Road classified as secondary,
yet Calamba Road is arterial?? can't be

Declassify as trunk (back to primary) the pagsanjan-louisiana-lucban route?
(road is too narrow anyway)
Calauan-Nagcarlan route is just a minor road on OSM but looks like a trunk
going all the way to Tayabas on DPWH's map.

Nice! The surface type (concrete, asphalt) is good data we can add in OSM,
unfortunately, the disclaimer pdf has very strict copyright restrictions.

Hi guys,

You might find this interesting. DPWH has provided a site showing its
database of what I presume are National Roads that are under its
maintenance:
http://www.dpwh.gov.ph/infrastructure/Road%20Data/2012%20Road%20Data%20for%20Ipad/index.htm

What's even more interesting is that they are using screenshots of OSM maps
as the basemap for several maps of roads in Metro Manila. For example,
here's northern Quezon City:
