[Talk-transit] NOVAM is back

2009-10-22 Thread Christoph Boehme
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.

Cheers,
Christoph

Thanks Christoph.  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.

Thanks Christoph. Much clearer.



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!


Thanks again,



Peter

[Talk-transit] NaPTAN case study

2009-10-22 Thread Christopher Osborne
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?

We have checked about 75% of the stops in Hull. I have established a 
contact in the city council's transport team who has received the data 
we have checked with all of our comments about what we found so far.  I 
hope he will use the data to feed back to NaPTAN so eventually the 
quality will improve all round. 

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.

Hi,
There is no control of the map with the URL, and no permalink to check
the URLs and add it to the mapJumper :

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:FrViPofm/mapJumper

http://frvipofm.net/osm/mapjumper/?mode=hub

Sorry, I wanted to translate the wiki page into English but English is
not my native language... If somebody wants  to try the translation.

I meant just the plain old OSM website from which one could use edit  
if one wished. Having said that the MapJumper is possibly a better way  
of achieving this (although I don't yet understand exactly how it  
works).



The 'help' link doesn't see to be much help btw (it just links back
to the same page as far as I can see). Possibly a page of
explanation would be good.


There is no help available yet. Perhaps I better remove the link
completely until some documentation has been compiled.


I think that would be a good idea - however, help doesn't need to be  
more complex than saying what a 'complete set of tags' means really  
with a few links into the wiki. Alternatively, why not just direct the  
'help' link to the wiki and then we can add whatever is appriopriate  
for the help to that page.

 Every bus stop has an associated authority in NaPTAN - possibly we  
 should import this as well to help spot errors in the boundaries.

 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.

I will not be adding route_ref tags, all route information is going on

One aspect of NaPTAN which I have not investigated in any detail are Stop

Re: [Talk-transit] NaPTAN case study

2009-10-22 Thread Jerry Clough - OSM
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.

The tram stops should not have been imported as bus stops, this
appears to be an error in the Nottingham data - they're identifying
them as bus stops for some unknown reason. But, I think we've covered
it in the past.

Stop places will eventually be expanded to include inter-modal groups,
I've not yet worked with the applicable datasets though.

 First
 ===
 The server must be recorded into the list of the wiki page :
 http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:FrViPofm/mapJumper/MapJumperServers
 (One rule, the service must be linked to the OSM project.)
 I suggest something like :
 
 
 {{MapJumperServer

 | shortcut = n
 | url = mappa-mercia.org/novam/
 | layers = B0T
 | desc = post-import NaPTAN
 | theme = import,survey
 | zone = UK
 }}
 
 
 I will not be there those days when the URL control and permalink
 would be set.
 So you ( Christoph ?) can hat this record.
 The full url must be check. Cloudmade's like URL are supported by
 adding | lon = lng
 
 
 When the page is saved, the server is available in the mapJumper page.
 
 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. Enter.
 
 Using the mapJumper hub

 By default the mapJumper hub is available in the bookmarklet with the

 With only one clic more, with the '_' shortcut, all the services are
 near... Even those you didn't select...
