Re: [OSM-talk] "Limitations on mapping private information" - wiki page
The first two bullet points are poorly worded: building=house is "where individual people live". "There is no need to split residential landuse into individual plots." if that means the actual tag landuse=residential, then I'd probably agree, but there is nothing wrong with this level of detail mapping: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/52.51352/-1.85486 The wording , as it's written currently, contradicts the last point, which I believe to be correct. The other points fall under "too transient to map".

That is why i wrote "are not *as such* part of the verifiable geography". Practically an established (as opposed to constructed) path is usually the result of the collective activities of many individuals which does not fall under the criterion of activities of individual humans as such. To give you another example (one without any physical manifestation): If the driver of a bus routinely stops at a certain place between regular stops to let on/off a specific individual that is not a bus stop to be mapped in OSM. If however that irregular stop starts getting used by other people as well it becomes a mappable bus stop. > What about buildings?

Land ownership is not a meaningful criterion - otherwise huge parts of the map would need to stay empty. Houses serving as private homes are subject to interaction with society in general on a larger scale for example: * by serving as an orientation point for navigation * by being the target of mail and package delivery * by being the target of door-to-door salespeople * by being the target of trick-or-treating * by being a place to walk up to and ring to ask for directions if you are lost or for help in case of an emergency. > I would say that if someone has a private island it is still > perfectly fine to map buildings, driveways*, garden areas there - > even if sole source of map data is an aerial image. > > *leading from private palace to a private dock, not connected to > any public road. Practically such places are usually subject to quite significant interaction with society in general - like for example staff, craftspeople, construction workers etc. As a whole and in its larger structures like you mentioned i do not see how this would typically qualify as physical manifestations of activities of *individual* humans. Just because an individual pays for larger scale activities does not necessarily make these activities those of that individual. The private island case is limited simply by basic practical verifiability. What you can see on imagery taken from outside is verifiable, everything else is not. Actual privacy issue (like someone doing detailed indoor mapping with the help of a telescope) is probably less an issue here than for an individual house. Or in other words: Rich people cannot claim a larger scope of privacy just because they can own and fence in a larger area of land. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

We might have different ideas of what a driveway is but a private driveway as i imagine it is part of the verifiable geography among other things because you have to take notice of cars coming out of private driveways as you drive along a public road. In other words: The driveway becomes part of the verifiable geography by being used as a driveway.

Instead of trying to trace out the outline of the parcels in a block in an editor I could just select all the parcels and say they are residential parcels and that's the landuse done. Indeed I agree with Martin, that there is a lot of value in knowing about parcels completely without any kind of ownership information attached. One can do analysis on lot size, building floor space ratio to lot size, etc. if we mapped the parcel. > Limit the detail of mapping private backyards. As a guideline, permanently installed private swimming pools, or some structure of a semi-public garden appear to be the borderline of being acceptable. Add access=private as appropriate. Agreed backyard pools are widespread mapped and seem to be tolerated and okay, backyard tennis courts I would put into the same category. I think rooftop solar on residential houses is also mapped in places, and I think is okay. Given all of this is not personally identifiable and already public in aerial imagery etc. I agree including this in OSM shouldn't pose an issue.
