Re: [Talk-us] Proposed small import of UTA bus stops
COUNTY -- is_in:county CITY -- is_in:city ACCESS -- wheelchair = yes|limited|no BENCH -- bench = yes|no LOCATIONID -- uta:stop_id This looks good - I'm also glad that you also included the shelter tag in the data because that's useful. Re: is_in*; it seems to be redundant because the nodes should be actually located in those admin boundaries. The normal argument for using is_in applies if a highway spans beyond its normal boundary, such as a state highway spanning into another state.That might be true for this data, where a stop in one city is under another's city's transportation organization (but I'm not sure of the meaning of is_in for that case). Are the bus stops identified by the LOCATION_ID? That is, is the traveling public aware of those numbers; for example texting that number from a sign to get the delay until the next arriving bus time? If so, I'd argue for including those as a name instead of database ID. There's also a line of thought that says the database ID is not generally useful for point data because if people add and remove nodes manually, updated data sets still need to be conflated by location. Some decent node conflation scripts now exist, but I haven't used them. I'd also recommend tagging for both old and new transportation tagging schemes: highway=bus_stop public_transport=platform Some software finds it easier to support the new scheme because the layout makes more sense, while some renders only support the old scheme. Also, I saw some extra translation applied: tag k='is_in:city' v='Salt Lake is_in:city' / and Park City Regards, Mike ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
[Talk-us] MA Parcel Image Layer for JOSM
Hi, With lots of help from Ian Dees, and Lars Ahlzen and servers from US OSM chapter, a new image layer is available in JOSM that includes the parcel boundaries, house numbers, and ownership info for most of Massachusetts. If you map in MA, update your images sources in JOSM, and activate the MassGIS L3 Parcels layer. If you are just curious, the tiles can be directly viewed here. http://tile.osm.osuosl.org/tiles/massgis_parcels/#17/42.58150/-71.58480 The OSM data in Massachusetts has many imported conservation land, schools, parts, areas. While the meta data on is usually good, they actual parcel boundary is not very accurate. This can be used to correct. The address data shown only includes the lowest street address number for multi address parcels. This data is the primary source soon to be released MassGIS address layer. Any suggestions on cleanly showing multiple address with mapnik would be welcomed. It is a good way for us to start getting some experience with how the MassGIS address data looks. The mapnik XML file, download, and postgis scripts are here. https://github.com/jremillard/osm_massgis_tiles The source of the data is MassGIS L3 Parcels layer. http://www.mass.gov/anf/research-and-tech/it-serv-and-support/application-serv/office-of-geographic-information-massgis/datalayers/l3parcels.html Thanks Jason. ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
