A typical address should something like this:

 Hi All

 Seems like this is a good place to tell about a new way to add places
 to the map. There is a lot of people who use twitter actively with
 their mobile phones, which has a gps on board. Now you can use
 location-based tweets to add POIs to the map :)
 The project just started and we plan to improve it using some beer and
 Thursday's nights ;) We're open for discussion and want to turn this
 service into really helpful and funny tool.

 Check it out: http://osmitter.com

 Have a fun!

The same as in an identical result, if they use the same sources then
the only difference is their creative interpretation of the data
sources into producing map data.


Let's leave the theory and do the little experiment you suggested :-).

I guess, you consider the way 115031489[1] as copyright protected, right?

Then what about the attached alternative versions? For each version I 
started JOSM, opened a new layer, added the node (-31.069902030361792, 
152.728383561) which is close to the beginning of the road, loaded 
the Bing background and traced the road. Between each session there were 
at least 5 minutes.
If I would replace the original way with one version, would that be a 
copyright infringement?

 I doubt if any effort in re-creating a map database of the real world

We aren't for the most part trying to make raster images of aerial
imagery, so there is a lot of creativity that goes into making
interpretations of the real world.

[GG] Involuntary creativity then !

 I never met a OSM mapper saying he is using his creativity to create
 an original view of the world. Its not just a lack in precision and
 perfection that
 makes a work creative, the creator must also have the intention to add
 something
 of himself.

In terms of copyright this doesn't matter, just like if you write a
few lines of whatever, you automatically receive copyright on your
work.

[GG] I was not talking about copyright. Copyright laws are of no use
in the digital era,
their application is too large and too wide, and information can be
copied without loss.
The application of copyright law is expensive and full of pitfalls.
See what happens with movies and mp3 on P2P networks.
These are outdated legal texts, and have to be redefined.

 In creating tiles the map I agree. Not in creating a database.

In terms of copyright, it doesn't matter how a map is stored or how it
is displayed, it's the act of making it that matters and because there
is human involvement that's all that matters.

[GG] Is that true ???  

I would reformulate that as follows:

In terms of copyright, it doesn't matter how a map is stored or how it
is displayed, it's the act of human coordinated creativity that
matters.

Not the mere fact that there are humans involved makes it copyrighted.


I think you agree with me that software is copyrighted due to the
algorithms implemented,  a proof of effort and creativity.
It's not the output of the software that is copyrighted by the writer
of the software, but the source code. The output can be copyrighted,
if created by copyrighted input.

OSM is the same. We have a set of algorithms and 200K+ human CPUs that
as
execute the algorithm defined by the community. Nothing creative there
but the algorithms. Its not the output that is copyrightable.
The input is the real world, be it by sometimes using media (bing) 
that are copyrighted as a picture, not the information it is providing.
Just like art photography , you cannot copyright Marilyn Monroe on a 
picture, but it's the composition, exposure time, color balance, moment
the picture was taken etc. BUT NOT THE PROPERTIES OF THE SUBJECT.

You may conclude she is blond and has big tits without infringement
of copyright. 

That is what we do with BING images.

 No, that hasn't been the case since Contributor Terms 1.2 were proposed

 1.2.x say: If you contribute Contents, You are indicating that, as far

Although it still seems to be controversial how clause 1 and 2 of the CT

to think about the practical implications of this.

As it currently stands, I am kind of with Frederik, that this basically
effectively rules out any future relicensing, as it is impossible to know
which rights (and restrictions) exist in the data at the moment.

Nevertheless, I think it is a reasonably good compromise between the
position of making it possible to use data other than PD data and still
having the flexibility to relicense if there really is a necessity in
future.

So the question is what can we do to make this compromise practically
feasible?


Frederik Ramm wrote:
 
 This situation could be made a little less of a problem by requesting 
 that anyone who contributes data that is not available for arbitrary 
 relicensing under the CT (i.e. any free and open license etc.etc.) 
 should flag such data in a well-defined way. Then, in a future 
 relicensing process we could assume that any data not flagged can be 
 relicensed at will, and only data that is flagged needs to be more 
 closely investigated.
 
I think this will be key. For all data, it needs to be clear a) who holds
any rights in the data and b) what exact restrictions apply to the data.

For all data originally collected by an osm contributor this is clearly
stated in clause 2. But there currently is no way to flag data as having
additional restrictions applied (because it is a third party import with an
attached license)

The best we currently have is the wiki import catalogue[2], but a) not all
imports are registered there and b) a lot of entries are useless with
respect to the exact licensing terms of the data and what agreements exist.

The most logical place perhaps to record such info is the OSM account. All
data that is contributed to OSM for which not all rights stated in section 2
of the contributor terms are given to OSMF, needs to be contributed under a
special osm account to which the exact licensing requirements are attached
and contact details of the original rights holder.

It is to some degree already the recommended practice, but it is in no way
enforced. For future relicensing to remain feasible, this would however need
to be enforced. 

For existing accounts, that have previously mixed data, it might need a more
fine grained possibility e.g. per changeset, to parcel out the rights held
in the data again.


Frederik Ramm wrote:
 
 It is too late to upgrade the CT with such a requirement, but we could

I don't think it is too late to upgrade the CT, to clarify this and make it
explicit that you need to use a special osm account with a link to the
license if you cannot grant all rights mentioned in clause 2 and can only
comply with clause 1. These are local changes (unlike any changes to e.g.
the voting requirements), so there shouldn't be a problem if different
accounts use different versions of the CT, like it is already the case with
version 1.0 and 1.2.4.

It's my understanding that the OS data needs to be attributed directly

If, by _used_ you mean that it's a part of the way, then *millions* of

If one of these gets moved then the whole way gets updated, making your

retraces a removed way by looking at an aerial imagery, by looking at 
the current OSM map or by just moving randomly some nodes.

IMHO that's a very weak protection for a cc-by-sa map.


Which is of course the real issue, copyright does exist on the
content, and assumptions have to be made about what is likely to have
happened.


BTW I've just found some high court decisions which clearly state that a 
map (and its content) isn't protected by copyright automatically here in 
Austria. You have to prove individual creativity. Just reproducing 
geographical facts like the course of a street or a river is not enough:

Substantively, that is what happens, but technically, in the database,
it is not.

In the database, we go from:

way id=1nd id=8nd id=9nd id=10/way
node id=8 lat=82 lon=18 /
node id=9 lat=81 lon=18 /
node id=10 lat=81 lon=17 /

node id=8 lat=81 lon=17 /
node id=9 lat=80 lon=17 /

Of course, I think that obviously this:
node id=8 lat=81 lon=17 /
node id=9 lat=80 lon=17 /
node id=10 lat=80 lon=16 /

is a derivative of this:
way id=1nd id=8nd id=9nd id=10/way
node id=8 lat=82 lon=18 /
node id=9 lat=81 lon=18 /
node id=10 lat=81 lon=17 /

(assuming a way with, say, 1000 nodes rather than 3...where between 3
and 1000 you can stop, well, that's a different question)


Well, I learn something new every day.

This explains a lot - as to why entities keep moving but there's no 
record of it.


Can someone please explain the logic of not recording major changes in 
the database such as shifting an entity?

There certainly is creativity involved in making a brick wall. 
Choosing a herringbone bond vs. a stretcher bond, for instance. And in 
some cases it can be copyrightable - not if it's just a herringbone or 
a stretcher bond, but if the pattern is unique enough, it's certainly 
copyrightable. Depends on the specifics. Just like mapping. 

Just like in map-making, not in surveying.

If you design a nice brick pattern clearly the pattern has potential to 
be  protectable, however a builder imperfectly following your pattern is 
not being creative.

I suggested a long time ago that adding segment roads in routes relations
was a bad idea.
The alternative is to put the intersection nodes and end-nodes of the route.
This has the big advantage that ways are not split any more for some
abstract features like routes (and you don't have to add a 2nd relation to
rebuild the road). But it has the disadvantage that software developers have
to work a bit before they can render the result.

Well you could put in a request to make the boundary between the
taglist and relations list in Potlatch moveable, so you can see more
relations. Having the relation list in a consistent order would also
help.

If you haven't already twigged, make sure you widen the tag/relations
lists - it makes it a lot easier to see what the relations are.

it involves relations containing relations. I don't really mind having many

if you stored only nodes there would be ambiguity problems in cases

Cool thing around pictures, as most of twitter clients can upload them

now...
Next, a MapDust - have to get in more with service, as it makes sense to use

 Hi Oleg,

 Well you beat me to it :) This is in fact almost exactly what I had in mind

 Apart from the comments Martin made, we also discussed using a mention
 instead of a hashtag. This helps to keep the user's followers twitter
 streams free of the osmitter tweets that do not make sense to most anyway.
 The rationale here is that a tweet starting with a @mention will - I believe
 - only show up in your follower's stream if they also follow that account.
 Also, I've been thinking about feedback to the user. Because GPS is
 generally inaccurate in dense urban areas this way of adding things to OSM
 will result in quite a number of those things ending up on the next block or
 on the wrong side of the street. It would be good if there were some way for
 the user to easily review his submissions. This could be done in a number of
 ways. Firstly there is the intermediate layer that Martin mentioned. I was
 talking to Oliver (Skobbler) about using MapDust for that and that makes a
 lot of sense to me. If you choose to go the route you chose and add directly
 there should be either something like a queue of twitter submissions on the
 osmitter web site that you could pull up to review your submissions, or
 possibly a twitter reply with a link to a mobile site allowing you to do
 that. As it is, this system will generate a lot of inaccurately located POIs
 – or does your experience show otherwise?
 A last thing that I've been thinking about implementing is a way to add
 links to photos to the POI. Twitter clients on smartphones generally have
 tight integration with photo sharing services - take a picture, twitter
 client uploads and inserts link to image page on sharing service. That link
 could be added as a tag (url:photo or something?) to the poi.

 While I think that this is generally not a bad idea, I'd still expect
 that the data has not the average positional quality OSM usually has.
 Martijn van Exel gave a talk at Wherecamp-EU in Berlin about the same
 topic (twitter to osm) and in the following discussion the consensus
 was towards a intermediate layer where those tweets would be stored,
 so that you can do reasonable verification at home with the comfort of
 a map and probably some nice aerial fotos in the background to
 validate the raw data.

 I also stumbled upon the first tagging examples on your page:
 Italian pizzeria
 amenity=cafe name=Pizza Ololo cuisine=italian #osmit

 Is this really consensus to tag a pizzeria as cafe? There is also
 restaurant and fast_food in the amenity value-set.

You also have ambiguity problem in the other model e.g. when you have

ambiguities (e.g. not rendered). That would indicate the mappers what to
fix.


 It would also increase

Detaching intersection nodes is not something usual. At the moment, the
complexity is more on managing ways with an increasing amount of relations
and an increasing amount of segments within the relations for a single
street.

 While I think that this is generally not a bad idea, I'd still expect
 that the data has not the average positional quality OSM usually has.
 Martijn van Exel gave a talk at Wherecamp-EU in Berlin about the same
 topic (twitter to osm) and in the following discussion the consensus
 was towards a intermediate layer where those tweets would be stored,
 so that you can do reasonable verification at home with the comfort of
 a map and probably some nice aerial fotos in the background to
 validate the raw data.

 I also stumbled upon the first tagging examples on your page:
 Italian pizzeria
 amenity=cafe name=Pizza Ololo cuisine=italian #osmit

 Is this really consensus to tag a pizzeria as cafe? There is also
 restaurant and fast_food in the amenity value-set.

 Cheers,
 Martin

You were talking about databases, however databases can still store

about, if copyright weren't an issue the database could just be
relicensed, but there is copyright involved so it can't.

 their application is too large and too wide, and information can be
 copied without loss.

So what, copyright still covers creative works.

 The application of copyright law is expensive and full of pitfalls.
 See what happens with movies and mp3 on P2P networks.
 These are outdated legal texts, and have to be redefined.

This is irrelevant, just because it's difficult to enforce, doesn't
make it less enforcible.

 In creating tiles the map I agree. Not in creating a database.

 In terms of copyright, it doesn't matter how a map is stored or how it
 is displayed, it's the act of making it that matters and because there
 is human involvement that's all that matters.

 [GG] Is that true ???

 I would reformulate that as follows:

 In terms of copyright, it doesn't matter how a map is stored or how it
 is displayed, it's the act of human coordinated creativity that
 matters.

Copyright covers any work you do, no matter how trivial or how small,
weather you intend to do something worth copyright or not.
Photographers keep winning in court over companies that using their
imagery without attribution and sometimes without paying for it.

 Not the mere fact that there are humans involved makes it copyrighted.


 I think you agree with me that software is copyrighted due to the
 algorithms implemented,  a proof of effort and creativity.
 It's not the output of the software that is copyrighted by the writer
 of the software, but the source code. The output can be copyrighted,
 if created by copyrighted input.

Didn't bison do something weird with licensing, where it was
interacting with the output and including a chunk of itself the output
was deemed to be copyrighted under the same license, in any case this
is all pointless, we're not talking about survey's if you want a
similar example use wikipedia, the content is copyrighted even though
the it's stored in a database.


 OSM is the same. We have a set of algorithms and 200K+ human CPUs that

Not really, OSM doesn't produce anything, any more than MS can claim
copyright on the output of word, the author of the document owns the

Looking at the details it seems like the Australia being referred to
is the continent, not the country. The New Zealand node has a
is_in:continent=Australia tag and there is a place=continent node
that nominatim is associating it with. So I guess this is correct
but perhaps a little confusing in how it is displayed. Perhaps you
should rename your continent to avoid this confusion!

[talk-au] Active Australian OSM contributors in light of CT/license changes

2011-07-06 Thread Andrew Harvey
Since the ban on all contributors who didn't sign the CTs, and ban on all
new contributors from using NearMap and other CC-BY/CC-BY-SA sources, I'm no
longer actively contributing to the OSM database. Instead I am now actively
contributing to the fosm database. I am interested to hear what other active
Australian OSM contributors will be doing now.

Just looking through the list at http://odbl.de/australia.html we have a
fair amount of people who have been locked out, and also people who ticked
the CTs who have used CC-BY/CC-BY-SA sources in the past who may want to
keep this data and continue using these sources in the future.

So, active Australian OSM contributors, are you staying with the OSM db? If
so how are you going to do edits going forward, because any CC-BY-SA derived
data you add may be removed if OSM abandons CC-BY-SA at some point in the
future (or may even be conflicting with your agreed CTs now...).

Are you moving to the fosm db? If so, great! Less problems with trying to
merge your data into fosm, and we can all get back to mapping. Do you have
any concerns over the switch?

Are you going to stop contributing data altogether? Or are you putting you
efforts on hold at the moment.

I'm interested in Australia wide, but I'm personally most interested to hear
from Franc, behemoth14, rrankin, Zhent, Ebenezer, swanilli, inas, Diego,
good2010, dexgps. (these are just those that come to mind from looking over
recent edits in the Sydney area)

I have concerns.  The FAQ here gives valid reasons to fork an open
source project:
http://fossfaq.com/questions/52/what-does-it-mean-to-fork-an-open-source-project
and the multiple forks of OSM may have ignored the advice to only fork
When you have exhausted all other options.
Forks are not a guaranteed success.  They may have good reasons,
ideals and differing opinions, but the parent project has a brand, and
for OSM it's a powerful one.
As an example everyone has heard of MySQL, but what about Maria?
Mysql - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mysql#Forks_of_MySQL

Personally I don't care about the licence.  I feel that the forks and
this resulting dilution of effort will become a drain on all the
projects (united we stand/divided etc etc), and have become a shouting
match where the 'political' goals of the forked projects are trumpeted
over the stated reason for the thing being there - an open map.  Cries
of We're more open don't help when you
can't rustle up the hosting fees or development volunteers.  So a fork
must become popular.  More popular than other forks or the parent
project.  Was this the real reason for your post with mention of FOSM
(and no other OSM spin-offs), and seeding fear uncertainty and doubt
regarding *possible* data deletion.. you were recruiting?

I'd like to think all this rather dull licence bickering will play out
and OSM will continue and strengthen.  It's sad that people with
agendas are talking up the 'possible' deletion of data, and rushing
off to fork.  That energy could have been used towards working on ways
of keeping or replacing the data in OSM.  A satisfactory local example
where things turned out well is where Nearmap made it's generous offer
to allow pre-existing data to remain under the new licence.  However
on this list there was little rejoicing, there was a lot of picking
over the actual wording of their offer; looking at the legal-eze,
hairsplitting terminology or imagined loopholes in order to justify
the fork projects existence.

Have fun. Cheers,

Actually it's potentially trivial to use CC-by-SA data, since anyone
that supplied contributions under cc-by-sa are still in the database

As others have said..

1) Ive moved to fosm since the lockout

2) Im feeling pretty disillusioned at the whole thing, and seriously
wonder if its not worth just paying 5 bucks for a map that I cannot
share, rather than deal with the politics of a staggered mapping project

3) Ive made a couple of edits, but really am feeling like theres so much
duplicated work now that its almost just not worth bothering

Sadly, I think others are starting to fall into these groups too, which
is a pity as Ive just discovered some huge unmapped areas around the
snowy mountains that I have lots of GPX tracks from (but unfortunately
almost zero aerial imagery, from nearmap, bing, any of them).  Its hard
to get motivation to do work, in the knowledge that either a) work will
be deleted or b) someone will have a huge headache trying to merge any
work if it is duplicated.

 When you have exhausted all other options.
 Forks are not a guaranteed success.  They may have good reasons,
 ideals and differing opinions, but the parent project has a brand, and
 for OSM it's a powerful one.
 As an example everyone has heard of MySQL, but what about Maria?
 Mysql - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mysql#Forks_of_MySQL
 
 Personally I don't care about the licence.  I feel that the forks and
 this resulting dilution of effort will become a drain on all the
 projects (united we stand/divided etc etc), and have become a shouting
 match where the 'political' goals of the forked projects are trumpeted
 over the stated reason for the thing being there - an open map.  Cries
 of We're more open don't help when you
 can't rustle up the hosting fees or development volunteers.  So a fork
 must become popular.  More popular than other forks or the parent
 project.  Was this the real reason for your post with mention of FOSM
 (and no other OSM spin-offs), and seeding fear uncertainty and doubt
 regarding *possible* data deletion.. you were recruiting?
 
 I'd like to think all this rather dull licence bickering will play out
 and OSM will continue and strengthen.  It's sad that people with
 agendas are talking up the 'possible' deletion of data, and rushing
 off to fork.  That energy could have been used towards working on ways
 of keeping or replacing the data in OSM.  A satisfactory local example
 where things turned out well is where Nearmap made it's generous offer
 to allow pre-existing data to remain under the new licence.  However
 on this list there was little rejoicing, there was a lot of picking
 over the actual wording of their offer; looking at the legal-eze,
 hairsplitting terminology or imagined loopholes in order to justify
 the fork projects existence.
 
 Have fun. Cheers,
 Chas

I'm staying with OSM for now. To be sure, it's disappointing that Nearmap is
unavailable now - particularly when it comes to mapping buildings and so-on.
But there is still plenty of work to do in the areas where Bing resolution
is high enough. Recently I've been mapping farm fences etc in the Yass, NSW
area, where the Bing resolution is high enough to do so, aligning the Bing
imagery as close as possible with previously-surveyed ways (but Nearmap was
not perfect, either).

[talk-au] Very cheap Garmin Vista Hcx - legit?

Hi
Is anybody good at spotting eBay scams? This dude has 64 new Garmin Vista HCx's

and the price, it looks legit to me. 
Hmm - any thoughts on a possible GPS bargain? (I was thinking it could be ok as

The URLs you sent didnt work here, but personally Ive bought a few GPS
receivers from dealextreme.com  Theyre a hong kong based business but
have free shipping and low prices.  I think my GPS data logger cost
about $15 there.  Most of their LCD GPS units simply run windows CE so
you simply have to root them and install your choice of nav software.
Much cheaper than buying a brand-name Garmin.  Infact, my dealextreme
GPS has outlasted 2 navmans and a garmin that have given up over the
years.

Re: [Talk-br] OpenStreetMap no Android

Você pode baixar os mapas daqui:
http://download.geofabrik.de/osm/south-america/ (baixe o PBF, o OsmAnd
reconhece). A atualização é semanal, se não me engano.

O OsmAnd permite atualizar nomes de vias e sentido ?

O iOS tem alguma aplicação que permita isso ? Se não tiver, alguém quer me
ajudar a desenvolver ?


Um abraço,

 Obrigado por responder.

 Estou querendo ajudar nomeando ruas e em alguns casos identificando o
 sentido (mão) a rua tem.

 O OsmAnd é bastante interessante !!!

 Agora como vocês fazem para baixarem o mapa da Cidade do Rio de Janeiro
 completo ???

 Eu ainda não entendi bem essa parte de download de mapas, estou baixando
 aos pedaços pelo OsmAndMapCreator.

 Se alguém souber como baixar a cidade toda, ou se existe um mapa já pronto
 para baixar, que seja atualizado constantemente.

 Qual é o tempo de atualização dos mapas openstreet ??? Como faço para
 checar as versões para saber se já foi atualizado.

 Pois sabendo da atualização, posso checar minhas contribuições para ver se
 há necessidade de corrigir.

[Talk-de] Stammtische im Wiki-Terminkalender reduzieren?

2011-07-06 Thread Frederik Ramm

Hallo,

   auf unsrem (internationalen) Wiki sind ja alle Stammtisch-Termine 
weltweit aufgelistet. Von 83 Terminen, die dort eingetragen sind, sind 
71 in Deutschland, und 69 davon sind Stammtischtermine.


Dem unbedarften Besucher aus, sagen wir, Mexico City muss es also so 
vorkommen, als ob sich OSM zu ca. 80% in deutschen Kneipen abspielt ;)


Ich frage mich, ob wir uns hier vielleicht aus Ruecksicht (oder auch: 
wegweisend - denn man stelle sich vor, was ist, wenn erst andere Laender 
ebenso viele Stammtische haben) ein bisschen zuruecknehmen sollten. Als 
OSM-Stammtische in Deutschland noch selten waren, war es ok, die stolz 
in diese Liste einzutragen, und auch heute noch faende ich einen 
OSM-Stammtisch in einem Land mit eher kleiner Community durchaus einer 
ueberregionalen Nachricht wert. Aber wir ueberfluten diese Terminseite 
mit unseren Veranstaltungen derart, dass alles andere untergeht.


Bislang hat sich da keiner Gedanken drum gemacht, und der Mexikaner, der 
stolz seinen ersten OSM-Stammtisch organisiert, zu dem die Leute 100km 
weit anreisen, wird wohl kaum zu uns sagen: He, gebt mal nicht so an da. 
(Oder was immer das auf Spanisch heisst.)


Was koennten wir tun, um die restliche OSM-Welt nicht so zu erdruecken? 
Sollten wir vielleicht einfach eine Extra-Kalenderseite Regular pub

ein Problem ist ja, dass viele Stammtische jeden Monat stattfinden und der

[Talk-de] Redundanz?

2011-07-06 Thread Andreas Neumann
Moin,

bevor ich einen Editwar beginnen, wollte ich nur klären, ob ich da
falsch liege... Es geht darum, wenn mehrere Bänke an einem Platz stehen.
Ich hab immer einen Node für jede Bank gesetzt. Nun geht ein User in
Ilmenau durch und löscht die Bänke. Auf unserem Kirchplatz stehen
jeweils Bäumchen mit Bänken, er machte daraus einen Baum mit Bank. Er
verweist darauf, dass mehrere Bänke an einem Ort redundant sind und es
ausreicht nur eine zu malen. Gibt es da eine Redundanz-Regel, die ich
nicht kenne?

[Talk-de] Europakarte auf Vista HCX

2011-07-06 Thread Fabian Schmidt

Hallo Carsten, Dirk et al.,

ich suche eine routingfähige Garminkarte für Mitteleuropa. Ist das Vista 
HCX zu alt, um die Karte in zwei Dateien zu laden?


Kann ich die halbe eu_rout_gmapsupp1.img.gz irgendwie in eine allein 
lauffähige Karte halb Europas konvertieren?


Ein Versuch, mit qlandkarte fünf Kacheln ans GPS zu schicken, hat 
geklappt. Also hab ich im nächsten Anlauf alle Kacheln ausgewählt, die ich 
brauchen könnte. Es wurde eine gmapsupp.img von 900 MB fehlerfrei erzeugt, 
das Vista liest sie beim Start auch ohne Fehlermeldung ein, nur bleibt die 
Karte und die Liste der Kartennamen leer.

Zwei Reizwörter in Anfrage und erster Antwort. Na das wird heiter :)

Es gibt m.E. keine Redundanz-REgel bei OSM. Im Gegenteil, ich kenne nur 
die ungeschriebene Regel: Jeder so detailliert, wie er es in seiner 
Umgebung erfassen kann und will. Eine Grenze im Detailgrad gibt es wohl 
nur in der Auflösung der Editoren.
Ein Problem mit dem Umfang der erfassten Daten gibt es jedenfalls nicht, 
also kann das auch nicht als Begründung herangezogen werden.

Ja, man könnte die Pub-meetings nach Ländern sortieren und auf
Unterseiten unterbringen. Andererseits ist das mit den Symbolen schon
ganz gut gelöst, so dass man die wichtigeren Termine eigentlich auf
einen Blick von den Stammtischen visuell unterscheiden kann. Ich finde
es ist durchaus auch eine gute Werbung für die Community, wenn viele
persönliche Zusammenkünfte dort eingetragen sind.

Dass das meiste in Deutschland stattfindet ist ja kein Zufall, die
Mapping-Community ist dort auch auch stärksten ;-), d.h. OSM spielt
sich wirklich zu einem großen Prozentsatz in deutschen Kneipen ab, das
kommt nicht nur dem Mexikaner so vor ;-)

M.E. sind wir gerade so am Limit angekommen was die Länge der Liste
angeht, d.h. die Unterseiten nach Ländern oder ein dynamisches
Ausblenden auf der Hauptseite sind beides gute Ideen für die nahe
Zukunft, wenn die Liste wie zu erwarten weiter wächst.

Vielleicht könnt ihr euch ja darauf einigen, dass die nahe beieinander
stehenden Bänke über eine site-Relation zusammengefasst werden. So
erreicht man auch die Abstarktion, die der andere Nutzer offenbar
wünscht. (mir ist durchaus bewusst, dass ich damit den den
Anwendungsbereich der site-relation über ihre ursprüngliche Intention
ausdehne.)

Im übrigen ist das ein ungeklärtes Problem ob und welche
Detailgrenzen/Abstraktionsgrad Daten haben sollten. Solange man das

Was die Abstraktion von Bänken grundsätzlich angeht macht man da ja

Information, wie die Bank ausgerichtet ist.

Diese Meinung teile ich nicht. Zu viele Details können das eigene
Mapen erheblich erschweren oder gar unmöglich machen. Das hält andere
vom Mappen ab und macht es Einsteigern schwere als nötig. Aber wie

noch nicht erreicht. Vertagen wir den Streit also noch einmal bis wir

[Talk-de] Sommeraufgabe 2011

2011-07-06 Thread Jan Tappenbeck (OSM)



 Moin !

Der Sommerurlaub steht für viele vor der Tür und was liegt da näher als 
am Urlaubsort auch einwenig zu mappen. Neben den einfachen Dingen wie 
Postkästen, Bierstuben etc. gibt es auch größere Objekte die in der 
Regel die Zusammenarbeit mehrerer erfordern - ich spreche hier 
vornehmlich von den Rad- und Wanderwegen.


Aus diesem Grunde wurde diese Liste aufgebaut um es dem Gast es etwas 
einfacher zu machen um sich vor Ort zu orientieren was die 
Mapper-Kollegen für interessant erachten. So kann man dann mal mit der 
Familie eine Tour machen und mit einem Auge die Symbole verfolgen und 
notieren.


Aus diesem Grunde habe ich im Wiki einmal eine Seite [1] eingerichtet - 
vielleicht trägt der eine oder andere etwas nach und es findet sich der 
eine oder andere etwas davon zu erfassen. Aber nicht jede Kleinigkeit 
bitte, denn dann hätte ich gleich auf einen größeren Teil des Wikis 
verweisen können.

Re: [Talk-de] Windows: kacheln zippen und dann auf dem Serverwieder entpacken

2011-07-06 Thread Jan Tappenbeck

...

  ... umgekehrt - ich muss erst einmal auf windows7 packen und dann das
  richtige entpackscript auf dem zerver haben !

  hast Du mir dem Teil schon einaml das Bündeln von Dateien in verschachtelten
  Verzeichnissen realisiert bekommen ??




  such mal nach tar bzw. komprimiere dann mit bzip (tar.bz2).

  komprimieren mit bz2 geht z.B. so:
  tar -cvjf archivname.tar.bz2 zusicherndedateibzwordnername

  Entpacken auf dem Server sollte so gehen:
  tar -xvjf dateiname.tar.bz2

  Das ist rekursiv, d.h. die Ordnerstruktur wird beibehalten.

  Gruß Martin


Moin !

ich habe es jetzt hinbekommen mit folgenden Zeilen im Batch-File:

set filename=surface_hl_tiles

C:\Program Files (x86)\7-Zip\7z.exe a -r %filename%.tar tiles
C:\Program Files (x86)\7-Zip\7z.exe a -r %filename%.tar *.txt

C:\Program Files (x86)\7-Zip\7z.exe a %filename%.tar.bz2 %filename%.tar

echo loeschen der tar-Datei
del %filename%.tar /F /Q


Wichtig bei Upload per FTP ist dann noch der BINARY-Mode  Sonst 
kommt nur Mist auf dem Server an.


Das Entpacken mache ich jetzt mit der Version wie Brogo [1] dieses 
beschrieben hat.

Hallo,
Am Mittwoch, 6. Juli 2011 00:50:43 schrieb M∡rtin Koppenhoefer:

 
 einerseits sehe ich es gerade bei Autobahnen schwierig an, dort vor
 Ort genaue Maße zu erheben,

damit hast du recht, die wenigsten Mapper werden die Gelegenheit eines Staus 
nutzen und schnell die Mittelstreifenbreite mit dem Zollstock mappen
;-)

 und andererseits hast Du diese Breite
 automatisch, indem Du dem Abstand der highway-ways jeweils die halbe
 Breite abziehst. 

Im Prinzip ja, aber bedingt durch die praktische Mapping-Genauigkeit schwankt 
dieser Wert zu stark.

 Der Sinn könnte darin bestehen, über einen weiteren
 Wert die Plausibilität der Straßen-tags und -lage zu schätzen, aber da
 kommt wieder Punkt 1 ins Spiel: die Mittelstreifenbreite kannst Du
 schwer messen.

+1. Vorausgesetzt man bekommt, auf welchem Weg auch immer, hier genauere 
Daten, könnte man durch eine Abstandsberechnung der 3 Ways die Plausibilität 
der Ways zueinander prüfen und so zumindest einen Teil der Fehler mit einem 
Tool markieren.

 die Luftbilder die wir haben, werden ziemlich sicher auch in
 Deutschland irgendwann besser werden, wenn die Ämter das irgendwann
 mal rausgeben. 2-3 Meter sind m.E. im Autobahnbereich schon sehr gut,
 wenn wir das überall hinbekämen wäre ich ziemlich zufrieden.

Es wäre auch denkbar, dass man sich mal entschließt, die Koordinaten 
rauszugeben, wenn man irgendwann in den Amtsstuben schnallt, dass die 
Geheimhaltung eigenlich nur die Ämter selbst schädigt.

 
  zudem soll hier eine imaginäre Mittellinie gezeichnet
  werden, die es in der Realität gar nicht gibt.
 
 damit meinst Du den highway-way. Davon werden wir uns so schnell
 sicher nicht verabschieden, d.h. den braucht man auf jeden Fall. Das
 ist die Fahrbahnmitte, die ist zwar nicht markiert, aber geben tut
 es die natürlich auch in der Realität.

Ich habe nicht vor, das Mappen der Einzelfahrbahnen abzuschaffen. In den 
größeren Maßstabsstufen und für die Router hat das ganz klare praktische 
Vorteile.

 Die Fahrbahnmitte sehe ich bei 2 und 4 Spuren auf der gestrichelten
 Linie, bei 3 Spuren in der Mitte der mittleren Spur. Finde ich
 problemlos umzusetzen, während die Achse meistens schlechter zu
 erkennen ist, sowas hier ist natürlich nochmal ein Sonderfall:
 http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=dell=42.277158,14.018211spn=0.001046,0.002
 642t=kz=19
 http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=42.011694,13.807771spn=0.002101,0.005284t
 =kz=18
 
 die Spuren behalten normalerweise ihre Breite, die Mittelachse ändert
 Ihre Breite öfters mal, sieh mal was hier z.B. los ist (in der Gegend
 gibts noch mehr krasse Stellen):
 http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=dell=40.685438,14.761569spn=0.004288,0.010
 568t=kz=17
 

Im Bereich von Fahrbahntrennungen hast du damit durchaus recht. Hier macht es 
u.U. auch Sinn, auf eine Mittelachse zu verzichten und den einzelnen Ways zu 
folgen.

 PS: Meiner Meinung nach kann man mit der Relation mehr aussagen,
 besser rendern und routen und hat weniger Arbeit, aber mir ist es im
 Prinzip egal wenn Du gerne die Trennflächen als Linien erfassen
 willst, und man die Tags halbwegs verstehen kann, auch ohne Übersetzen
 ins Deutsche, dann kann und will ich Dich nicht davon abhalten.

+1, ich hatte nicht vor, etwas gegen deine Nutzung von Relationen zu sagen.

Über die Tags werde ich mal nachdenken, der Begriff centreline z.B. scheint 
doch günstiger zu sein.

Klar gibt es eine Grenze bei der Datengenauigkeit, aber die besteht
eben nicht nur in der absoluten Lage der Objekte sondern auch in der
relativen Lage und in der Konfiguration. Z.B. macht es einen
Unterschied, ob 5 Bänke in einer Reihe stehen, oder ob sie ein U
bilden. Auch kommt es darauf an, auf welcher Seite eines Weges /
Bushhaltestelle, Telefonzelle, Einmündung, etc. sie stehen (relative

@Andreas, bitte fange aber deswegen keinen Editwar an, sondern bitte den

oder schwerwiegende Nachteile hat?
Einzelne hinzugefügte POIs sind meist unproblematisch. Sobald man ein 
bestehendes Objekt in mehrere Einzelteile zerlegt, gibt es meist auch 
Nachteile.
Wie könnte man z.B. bei einer Bushaltestelle mit Bank und Unterstand die 
Lage der drei Einzelobjekte (Haltestellenmast am Fahrbahnrand, Bank 
hinter dem Fußweg, Unterstand 5 m in Fahrtrichtung) abbilden ohne eine 
bestehende Auswertung zu schädigen?
Soll man eine Straßeneinmündung mit drei kleinen Verkehrsinseln mit 
allen Details erfassen, wenn dadurch zehn zusätzliche Wegstücke und fünf 
zusätzliche Abbiegerelationen nötig werden? Wie kann der Mapper 
erkennen, ob es dann Probleme bei der TMC-Auswertung gibt?



Wenn hier einige die Straßen als Flaechen mappen wollen - bitte sehr - solange
halt fuer die routingalgorhythmen die mittellinie da bleibt.


Selbst wenn keine bestehenden Daten geändert werden müssen, erschweren 
drei eng benachbarte Linien anderen Mappern die Arbeit und provozieren

Dieses Beispiel ist leicht verständlich.
Andere Konstrukte, insbesondere mit mehreren beteiligten Relationen,

Fast jede Detailerfassung hat Vor- und Nachteile. Oft müssen wir mit den 
Nachteilen leben. Aber ich finde es legitim, auch Entscheidungen gegen 
Detailerfassung zu Gunsten eines einfacheren, generalisierten 
Datenmodells zu treffen.

 Wie könnte man z.B. bei einer Bushaltestelle mit Bank und Unterstand die
 Lage der drei Einzelobjekte (Haltestellenmast am Fahrbahnrand, Bank hinter
 dem Fußweg, Unterstand 5 m in Fahrtrichtung) abbilden ohne eine bestehende
 Auswertung zu schädigen?


das kommt immer darauf an, wie die Auswertung aussieht, d.h. was wie
ausgewertet wird.


 Soll man eine Straßeneinmündung mit drei kleinen Verkehrsinseln mit allen
 Details erfassen, wenn dadurch zehn zusätzliche Wegstücke und fünf
 zusätzliche Abbiegerelationen nötig werden?


ja, m.E. sollte man die Details abbilden. Werden da wirklich so viele
Abbiegerelationen notwendig?


 Wie kann der Mapper erkennen, ob
 es dann Probleme bei der TMC-Auswertung gibt?


gefühlsmäßig würde ich vermuten, dass das keine Auswirkungen hat, aber
ganz genau habe ich mir TMC noch nicht angesehen.


 Selbst wenn keine bestehenden Daten geändert werden müssen, erschweren drei
 eng benachbarte Linien anderen Mappern die Arbeit und provozieren falsch
 verbundene Wege.


am einfachsten ist immer eine leere Karte zu editieren. Hat Deine Maus
kein Zoomrad? Was ist eng benachbart? Das ist doch nur eine Frage,
wie weit man reinzoomt.

ich nicht, wenn man dafür die Details anderer Leute löscht.

Hallo,

Aber woran erkennt ein Mapper, ob nicht irgendeine Nutzung kaputt geht 
oder schwerwiegende Nachteile hat?


Darueber sollten ihn seine Kollegen hoeflich aufklaeren und den Fall bei 
Bedarf in groesserer Runde diskutieren - nicht aber einfach direkt mit 
dem Loeschen anfangen, oder?

falsch verbundene Wege.


Ja, das stimmt. Das sind zum Beispiel auch die ueblichen Argumente gegen 
Luftraum- oder Historien-Mapping. Aber darueber kann man ja sprechen und 
einen Konsens finden. Selbst (oder gerade?) einem Anfaengermapper wuerde 
vermutlich auffallen, wenn er ein ultrakomplizietes Konstrukt baut, das 
er selber nachher nicht mehr aendern kann ;)


Im konkreten Fall ging es glaub ich um Punktgeometrien, die sind ja doch 
relativ unaufdringlich.


Bye
Frederik

Re: [Talk-in] NRSC Landuse data in public domain

2011-07-06 Thread Arun Ganesh





 I managed to download the LULC layer but when I try to download in JOSM, I
 get a message

 Sorry! No data available in this scale.

 This is for very low zoom levels i.e.1 inch = 1 km

 Any idea why?

 Shalabh


The imagery is for even lower zoom levels since its on the 1:1million scale.
I find it works only after the 1inch=20km range.Once it loads you can
disable the automatic downloading by right clicking the imagery layer, so
that you can zoom in without losing the tiles.

Btw, now the usage policy clearly states that the data is in public domain
http://applications.nrsc.gov.in/policy.asp

I have added the info to the osm wiki:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/India/Data_sources#ISRO.2FNRSC_Landuse_Imagery

Thanks Arun. That solves the problem. However, the question is what use is
the imagery at such low resolution. I can do much better with Yahoo imagery.
Am I missing something?

For tracing into osm, not much. Its of more use for scientific purposes
where you can see extent of urban area, deforestation, wasteland etc. Such
details are not available on a pan-India scale from any other source.
