Severin, I think if mapping the POIs not inline with community practices it is important to make sure a script can at least fix the issues later. It is also important to capture the issues and have them worked into tools. In this case the HOT Export tool would be the appropriate tool that should be modified (if anyone is interested in working on this sort of thing awesome). So key is making sure the POIs that will need to be modified to the polygons later are inside the polygons.
These sorts of tool issues should be logged as features in the Github project for the tool that needs the modification: https://github.com/hotosm/hot-exports Are you mapping the building use when mapping the nodes and the building outlines? Basically here are the rules we follow in Indonesia: 1. Schools are mapped as points for the school, but all the buildings are mapping as building=school, but then a POI is made for the actual school (many schools here have more than one building). I don't think you should be mapping each individual school building that has classrooms as a separate item. That is going to cause issues in analysis. For example with impact modeling done in Indonesia if you were to map all the classrooms as single schools the count of flooded facilities would be off. The count of buildings would be okay though. If you map the use of the building to the building outline you still will have one topology for those buildings, so I'm not sure why you would add a node for the type of school building on top. I don't see the ease this is creating. -Kate On Mon, Nov 5, 2012 at 6:40 AM, Séverin MENARD <[email protected]> wrote: > (In English Below) > > Bonjour, > > Pour ceux qui veulent être tuteurs des volontaires Eurosha, l'équipe > déployée à Bangui en République Centrafricaine, maintenant installée, et > dotée d'une bonne connexion internet, mais souffrant malheureusement encore > de coupures d’électricité (voir leur dernière note de blog) a commencé à > mapper via l'imagerie Bing autour de leur maison (localisée ici) à l'aide de > ce job du HOT Tasking Manager et cela avance bien, comme le montre Whodidit > et ces deux exports Mapnik à quatre jours d'écart : > > https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B_C6dUAEbjPiTTItYWFLU1U3bHc > https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B_C6dUAEbjPiWDhoZ3poblBpb1E > > Le groupe va commencer le mapping terrain ce lundi. > > Pour corriger d'emblée les erreurs sur les dalles réalisées jusqu'ici, une > évaluation et des conseils par les tuteurs OSM serait bienvenue et > particulièrement utile.
