-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all,
As we all know Logainm, the official placenames database of Ireland, released their data in an OSM compatible licence. We've talked about importing that data into OSM so that we'd be able to link to Logainm, and get full(er) coverage for Irish names. But that has stalled. Doing a full, automatic, import means you have to programmatically match up logainm townlands (etc) to OSM townlands (etc). This can be hard and error prone. There is a way to make it easier. If we manually add logainm data to larger OSM objects (Counties, Baronies and Civil Parishes), then we can use that hierarchy to match up OSM to Logainm for the townlands. We will also have some, as opposed to no, logainm data in OSM. I have made this page ( http://www.townlands.ie/static/logainm/ ) which shows the data from Logainm, you can easily copy/paste the tags into the Level0 OSM editor. My approach: Open that logainm data page, find an county/barony, then open that page on townlands.ie. At the bottom is "Edit in Level0". Click that and copy/paste the tags from the box on the logainm page into the Level0 editor. There's a page showing how many OSM objects have a Logainm ref tag: http://www.townlands.ie/progress/#logainm We have a bit to go, but we can do it!
