This doesn't work for streets that were edited by users. Again, my problem is that, in thousands of edits, I specifically only expanded, for example, the prefix "N" to "North" when it is logically part of the root name. When it is logically a housenumber suffix, as it is in the majority of southern CA, I left the prefix alone. The road name may have been otherwise edited, though (to correct spelling, rename completely, etc.) This was to be used in the future when we could agree on a way to correctly separate these component parts of the name, as they are and must be in any database to be used with routing and street addressing in the real world. To "walk it back", we will have to query the history of the way and find the version before the bot, to see what was done. It's not just v1, or TIGER, because it may have been otherwise edited. It's not even v[last-1] any more because there may have been other edits since the bot (I've done many myself). >>>...Then TIGER also includes Spanish names and the >>>list has abbreviations for those too, which rarely anyone in US can >>>read, while they can cope with unabbreviated ok. >> >> I don't agree.

It's neither practical or useful or helps anyone, they're much like numerical codes. The one single thing they may be good for is for rendering at lower zoom levels. I don't understand. Why do I have to remember them? Am I not capable of inferring their meaning? Do I have to infer anything anyway, since they are likely to be similar/identical to signage? Also, to me "lower zoom levels" is almost any level at which I want to see a map. Anything more than a small neighborhood, and it's all we can do just to fit the root of the name in - we don't need any _more_ characters. >> name: The pre-balrog name > >99% percent of the cases this was an arbitrary version of name, taken from a database which was chosen only on the basis of its license, not because it was more correct or anything. So I don't see any reason to hang on to it. If I understand you correctly, I disagree completely.

If you're trying to navigate to the missigned street (e.g. "California Street", where the sign reads "Carolina Street"), you don't want to get a response of "street not found". For most other purposes you'd rather have the incorrect name (at least until it gets fixed). Yeah - this is always a quandary. In my experience, the street sign usually ends up being "right" anyway, so I'm usually asking the responsible authority to fix their GIS and/or the source map (yes, even tract maps that are decades old :) ). I don't really consider this as "original research", since it's really a matter of reconciling sources, but it's admittedly time consuming and requires additional research that many mappers (understandably) may not want to do. Still, I think it's value that I can add, not only to OSM, but also for my fellow citizens. When the sign is wrong, I notify the signing authority and, if it seems that they intend to fix it soon (the usual case), I put the correct value in the name tag and the signed value in the alt_name tag, with a note tag describing the situation. If there is no easy contact with the authority, or it seems they may not fix it soon, I reverse the tagging. Either way, there are notes/FIXMEs there to remind me (or others) to survey again in the future. BTW, technically, I would call surveying/photographing, and then mapping based on it, original research :) P.S. http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/56123368 is one of those strange cases where it's been signed and likely known "wrong" according to the cited docs, because the signed name is more logical in context. I name'd it as signed and put the recorded name in the official_name tag instead.

There are plenty of things which can be verified by looking through the legal code or official records, but don't constitute "what's on the ground". The main problem with allowing people to input such information is that it's easily misinterpreted by the average OSM contributor. This is why I see it as analogous to Wikipedia's "no original research". In a perfect world, we wouldn't need it.

Re: [Talk-us] Admin boundaries tied to roads
I'd agree with Brett on the boundaries. The Census data is not perfect by any means, but it's pretty good, at least in my area--Minnesota. (and orders of magnitude better than it was in 2000!) And if it's not good in your area, you should talk to your local government and make sure they're participating in the Census' yearly Boundary & Annexation Survey. http://www.census.gov/geo/www/bas/bashome.html >I can tell for sure that they are completely wrong in California. They are not >even close to USGS 24k, don't align with official county borders from official >sources and don't align with natural features, fences which are sometimes >visible on Yahoo. To further respond to this, there is no claim by the Census that it's survey accuracy, or that it aligns with other data. Fundamentally, it is created by the Census for internal purposes, and all TIGER boundary data is relative to the other TIGER data. (just like a lot of traced OSM data is relative to the Yahoo imagery) Everybody gets access to it for free and you can use it when its good or ignore it when its bad or modify it when its in between. The bigger issue with it being imported into OSM is the currency, because municipal boundaries are always changing, and as has been mentioned, boundaries are not usually something that is easily verifiable "on the ground" Cheers, Brad On Fri, Apr 23, 2010 at 9:54 AM, Lord-Castillo, Brett wrote: > > > > > > > -Original Message- > From: Apollinaris Schoell [mailto:ascho...@gmail.com] > Sent: Friday, April 23, 2010 9:47 AM > To: Lord-Castillo, Brett > Cc: 'talk-us@openstreetmap.org' > Subject: Re: [Talk-us] Admin boundaries tied to roads > > > On 23 Apr 2010, at 7:13 , Lord-Castillo, Brett wrote: > >>> On 19 Apr 2010, at 20:24, Apollinaris Schoell wrote: On 19 Apr 2010, at 20:07 , Alan Mintz wrote: > Not to mention that merging them will result in the inability to hide > these > boundaries.
