Hello, everyone. I'm from Okayama, Japan. "What kind of data can be used in OpenStreetMap?" Our community has put together common understandings about the issue on the following page. (written in Japanese) https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JA:Available_Data
Recently, Tomoya Muramoto (user:muramototomoya) proposed for a revision of this guidline. https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-ja/2019-June/010597.html The table on JA:Available_Data says that we can use data on websites, such as names, addresses and phone numbers because they are not copyrighted works but facts. However, Tomoya is against such a point of view. He thinks that licences for these data are not ODbL-compatible and that we should refrain from using them. We have unanimously agreed that websites which provide secondary information, including Wikipedia, Wikidata and curation sites must not be used for sources. The main point at issue is whether we are allowed to use official websites that provide primary information or not. Some of us think that we can use data from official websites unless it is prohibited by their term of service. Tomoya is also against using official websites. His opinion is that we would able to map POIs without surveying on the ground at all if it was OK to use data from websites. (example: https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-ja/2019-June/010604.html ) We agreed that this is about on the basis of OSM and the discussion should not be brought to an end in the Japanese community. What do you think about the issue? We would like to hear your honest opinion. Thank you. Takayuki Ishino (User: yumean1119) yumean1...@gmail.com
