Re: [Talk-GB] Administrative boundaries: polygons or polylines?

Hi Bob, They all seem to be made up of multiple ways. I noticed that Bix and Assendon has role=outer consistently applied, whereas the others have no explicit role on the ways. This is implicitly equivalent to role=outer but having explicit roles for the members in a relation may be considered

Re: [Talk-GB] Quarterly Project : Schools - Multiple Schools on one site

Also nearby there are what used to be two separate single-sex schools which are now combined as a mixed school. Two sites about a mile apart. You should use the site relation for this. I was doing this for a lower and upper school in Southend, until I realised that the lower school had closed

[Talk-GB] Abbreviations in OSM and schools

So, should we be using the full school name or abbreviating 'church of england voluntary aided' to CEVA as they do on the school pullovers? Similar questions for other variations - I've seen CE, CoE, C of E for example. I've been leaving existing names in the main (occasionally adding VC or VA)

Re: [Talk-GB] Administrative boundaries: polygons or polylines?

Bob, Glad to be of assistance. One tiny word of warning when you add role=outer: please make sure you do it to ALL the ways (without a role) in a relation, because a mix of empty roles and role=outer in the same relation will definitely cause more problems than simply having empty roles! You

I've no idea if it does but it sure feels like Northwich Hartford Campus takes the biscuit with respect to shared resource. 6 schools plus the college http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/53.2475/-2.5302. I have some cleaning up and more work to do on it which I'm leaving until I've done a

Re: [Talk-GB] Administrative boundaries: polygons or polylines?

Colin The answer might lie with role=outer. I applied it to Nettlebed in JOSM as a test, uploaded the change and ran a new query in Overpass turbo. Nettlebed appears as a polygon now. It seems I should apply it to all my cases for best practice, as you write, because it does appear other

[Talk-GB] Two schools on the same site

Hi, It seems I am not the only one with this problem. I too have been contributing to the quarterly project by adding a few more schools in West Lothian and have come across a problem where two schools share the same building. They have a few sites where catholic and non-denominational

Re: [Talk-GB] Quarterly Project : Schools - Multiple Schools on one site

Although I'm uncertain of a perfect solution as both the entrance and recreation ground appears to be shared in Ed's example, I find there's usually a defining boundary around schools that are adjacent to each other. Especially infant schools where they don't want the little ones wandering

Here in West Yorkshire, I have a newly-rebuilt Beckfoot School, sharing the site and facilities with Hazelbeck Special School. As far as I know, there isn't anything dividing the two. Robert has these entries for them (thanks Robert - great job!): 139975 BD16 1EE

Re: [Talk-GB] Review plan for adding 1, 164 wikidata tags in the West Midlands

I am working hard (manual labour!) on the OSM coverage of Civil Parishes, but they will never cover 100% of England due to large swathes being unparished. Don't forget to distinguish between Civil and Ecclesiastical parishes - they have been steadily diverging for over 100 years... //colin On

Re: [Talk-GB] Administrative boundaries: polygons or polylines?

Hi Bob, I have been doing a lot of work looking after admin boundaries in the UK in the last few years, including adding many thousands of Civil Parish relations. Admin boundaries are represented by relations with type=boundary. Syntactically these are similar to multipolygons, whereby the
