[Talk-transit] NOVAM is back
Good Morning, this is just to let you know that NOVAM is working again. It can be found on http://mappa-mercia.org/novam . Please update any old links and booksmarks. Since I decided not to implement a merging functionality on the website I have removed most of the old user interface elements and made the NOVAM viewer the new interface. Please tell me if you miss any functionality from the old user interface. I will update the colour coding of the bus stops at the weekend.

How do I find what what tags are needed to be completely tagged? The page still won't print (produces a largely blank page from FF3) which is valuable for taking out to find stops yet to be checked.

I understand that when you update the colours you will show:- 1) Unverified naptan import nodes (ie with verified=no) 2) bus stops in OSM which don't have any NaPTAN fields (ie ones without a naptan:AtcoCode field). 3) stops that don't have all the expected fields (please remove routeref field from this test) 4) and of course... complete and happy stops which have everything required! Can I suggest that you place stops with issues on top of ones without issues on the browser, so that stops with problems are not obscured by nearby ones which are ok. When you have that in place I will I suppose have to go and complete the review of stops in my town!

[Talk-transit] NaPTAN case study
Hello all As part of the data.gov.uk experiments, I had several encounters with top brass of various gov departments. They were very excited in the NaPTAN import, none of them had heard about it and as far as I know it is the first example of crowdsourced improvements to a UK gov dataset. Very glad to see http://mappa-mercia.org/novam/ is back online today. I need to prepare some briefing information to send back to top brass, and was wondering where are some good locations to show off the great work OSMappers have been doing with the NaPTAN data? -- Christopher Osborne www.itoworld.com ___ Talk-transit mailing list Talk-transit@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-transit

I created a simple overlay for the city http://bus.raggedred.net to help to show the progress but also to highlight stops that we have found that need correction to the NaPTAN data. I like the idea and the look of NOVAM, esp. because it is national and updates regularly, but it doesn't yet show quite what I need to help the council team.

You don't need to import the authority into OSM too. The bug reporting system could take an osm node id, then lookup the live naptan data for differences etc and these could be included in the report, which would go to the authority that has been found in the live naptan data. The other advantage of this, is that if the naptan bus stop changes hands (for whatever reason) then it'll be going to the right group, rather than an out of date group from some old OSM data. To be cleat, to date we have only been given permission to take occasional updates from NaPTAN with agreement from Traveline - and we do not have agreement to 'sniff' the live data on a regular basis as I think you are suggesting. However... I would not be surprised if Traveline agreed to allow access to the live data in time given the motivation that is building within the community to get the data right in both systems. Even with the above restriction, we will of course be able to parse the released version of NaPTAN against the OSM versions of the same data and produce reports for OSM contributors, which could include details of stops that appear to be out of the appropriate authority, or where the NaTPAN and the OSM data have diverged and where one or other of the datasets may be wrong.

Re: [Talk-transit] NaPTAN case study
I will not be adding route_ref tags, all route information is going on relations. One aspect of NaPTAN which I have not investigated in any detail are Stop Place. I was hoping that we would have visualisation of the relations in OePNV-Karte but it does not parse the NaPTAN data. My impression is that many of these are peculiar in Nottingham: for instance the Nottingham Road / Vernon Road stop place includes two tram stops (http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/258878); and Nottingham Road / Haydn Road extends for around 1500 metres (http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/258691), with one stop in the group being a kilometre away from where I (as a bus user) would assume the stop place to be (i.e., by The Potters House church).

Re: [Talk-transit] NaPTAN case study
I'd completely forgotten that tram stops were imported, because they were stored as bus stops in NaPTAN: this is a significant data issue with Nottingham data (3% of data). I think I've failed to make clear that these examples were of defined stop places which appear to me to be far too diffuse to have any coherence either for transport planners or transport users. However, I don't know enough about NaPTAN rules to be sure of this. I also don't know if anyone else has looked at stop places in the data which has been imported.

Second = Install a bookmarklet in your browser -- - Go to the mapJumper builder page : http://frvipofm.net/osm/mapjumper/ - Chose a preset, make your choice... The javascript code is set dynamicly in the yellow zone. - Copy the code - Create a new bookmark in your browser, give it a name (let us say 'mJ[survey]', you can have several mapJumper with different themes) - Paste the code and save. The mapJumper bookmarklet is available. Third Using the mapJumper bookmarklet When you are on a map with a reguliar url (with 'lat=NNN[lon|lng]=NNNzoom=NNN') - Select the mapJumper bookmarklet. - In the dialog, enter the shortcut ( let us say : 'n' ), if you want the map open in a new window, add a '+' sign.
