Great news.

 

Is it possible we can add something to the wiki page about an agreed way to tag 
multiple schools on a single site, or schools with multiple sites. I think 
earlier discussions here suggested:

 

For a site with multiple schools (grounds shared, separate buildings) tag the 
grounds as amenity=school, and the name, edubase ref and address details for 
each school on the relevant building.

 

e.g. http://osm.org/go/0EHYuEeGJ--?m=

http://osm.org/go/0EHS4rvGk--?m=

 

For a school with multiple sites, use a site relation, with each site being 
tagged amenity=school with the relevant address on each, and the edubase ref on 
the main site. I’m less sure about this one and have no examples.

 

I also don’t have an example for multiple schools in a single building. If they 
were separate entrances I’d probably put the differing details on the entrance 
nodes, but as I’ve not encountered this I’m not sure whether it happens 
anywhere. Nor if they share an entrance how that would be tagged.

 

Robert’s excellent progress tracking tool also shows adult education centres 
where I have been unable to find an edubase reference, e.g.

http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/203713626

Should they have edubase references? If so how would I find them?

We did it! 

Today we set the record for the highest number of edits to amenity=school 
features in the UK. Between us we edited 405 schools beating our previous high 
from 18th January.

Looking at the detail we created 202 new school polygons (a 33% increase on our 
previous daily best) and modified 191 ways. The other edits (12) were to nodes. 

We are now at 75.4% of all UK schools mapped as ways (according to Robert W's 
fantastic progress tool). This is up from just 62.8% when we started this task 
at the start of January. All but 10 postcode areas are above 50% complete. When 
we started there was 30 below 50% (8 below 40%). At the top end we have 24 
postcode areas 95+ percent complete. Compared to zero when we started!

A total of 38 people edited during the day - again, another record! And the 
edits of those who used the #OSMschools comment in their changesets can been 
seen at 
http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-changesets?comment=OSMschool#5/55.838/-1.604

Thanks for the amazing effort today. I hope the MapRoulette task is proving 
popular and will encourage more edits in the least loved parts of the UK OSM 
map.

Best,


Rob
