Take greetings from Dhaka Bangladesh. I need a help to design an OSM
based project. An organization is thinking to digitalise some of their
project land areas, keep them on open platform and get regular update
on the tenure, rearrangement of allocation/splitting of the parcels,
feature change status regularly. But the land parcel's measurement is
a vital, it should have inch level accuracy. Also, they are thinking
to get all the updates through a mobile app from field.
I found a strong potentiality of this idea with OSM . Now wondering,
do anyone know any example or similar type project what was/were based
on OSM ? it will be great help for designing the project as well as
for spreading OSM in Bangladesh if you kindly share the links, report,
experience alike. You are also welcome to put your valuable suggestion
in regards.
OSM and the OSM software stack is designed around crowd-sourcing, which
an inch level accuracy requirement is incompatible with.
This level of accuracy requires expensive specialized equipment with
specialized skills, and you can't use consumer or phone GPS units to
record data.
Crowd-sourcing makes the technical design of OSM complicated, but here
you'd gain that complexity without gaining its advantages. Additionally,
a inch is near the maximum resolution of the API and many tools designed
to consume OSM data.
I would recommend you re-evaluate your accuracy requirements to
establish if they are truly necessary.
Because this isn't a question of humanitarian use of OSM, you might have
more luck with a more general purpose mailing list than hot@.
