[OSM-talk] Time-based attributes

Hi, are there things like attribute values that change over time? Like this, to indicate a value changes in the future: highway=residential highway:timebased=until:2017-06-22:construction or highway=construction highway:timebased=after:2017-06-22:residential or even in intervals: highway=res

There is an old proposal: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/temporary I guess without any support from data consumers. m. On Fri, Jun 2, 2017 at 8:59 AM, MonkZ wrote: > Hi, > > are there things like attribute values that change over time? > > Like this, to indicate a value ch

[OSM-talk] Draft Geocoding Guideline

One of the larger items the LWG has been working on this year is an attempt to provide more clarity on how our licence works with respect to geocoding. As some of you know this is a fairly controversial topic and a number of different approaches have been suggested and discussed in the past. We

Re: [OSM-talk] Time-based attributes

There is also the date namespace idea for tags. ( https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Date_namespace ). Townlands.ie, an OSM data consumer, supports this for historic names in Ireland ( https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/rorym/diary/40092 ) On 02/06/17 08:59, MonkZ wrote: Hi,

[OSM-talk] Street Complete

I have just been encouraged to look at Street Complete by some odd notes I saw. I installed it to find out what the app does. I was prompted at some point for my OSM credentials, which I now regret. The app shows my local area plastered with questions about the road surface. In the UK reside

This list is the wrong place to get improvements into StreetComplete, it has it's own issue tracker: https://github.com/westnordost/StreetComplete/issues ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Re: [OSM-talk] Street Complete

I agree for improvements, but here you can discuss the sense or nonsense of a feature in an app. The Github is not the place for a discussion. I think, you can ask yourself why you need to add surface to a street. For the UK you can count that streets are paved, but that doesn't count for a lot of

Re: [OSM-talk] Street Complete

and whilst street complete offers much potential there is a need to discuss how to get the best out of such tools. Cheerio John On 2 June 2017 at 09:47, Clifford Snow wrote: > > On Fri, Jun 2, 2017 at 7:36 AM, Sebastiaan Couwenberg > wrote: > >> This list is the wrong place to get improvements

Re: [OSM-talk] Street Complete

Mean while in other common wealth countries like Canada or Australia, it's not economically viable to pave every road. This is a very closed view on the world we live in. On Fri, Jun 2, 2017 at 9:45 AM, Alert Bouterse wrote: > I agree for improvements, but here you can discuss the sense or nonse

Assuming the author(s) of the app is on this list. The app was mentioned for the first time on the forum (perhaps here [1]), so the author might be more familiar with that communication channel. m. [1] https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=56582 (December 1, 2016) On Fri, Jun 2, 2017
