I am developing a project to incorporate HOT/OSM data into an
application to plan for and manage food security emergencies in
developing countries. The HOT/OSM data is converted into a shapefile
using the HOT export tool ( http://export.hotosm.org/en/ ) to link to
other data in QGIS. To begin with I am using ground transportation data
and population cluster data from OSM. I would also like to include
information on impediments to mapping including cloud cover and areas of
low resolution imagery in BING to permit identification of potential
problems and permit some forward planning. I have looked for tags or
presets for identifying these impediments but have not been able to find
them. Can anyone help?
For the moment I have tested a workaround using the OSM AREA tag and the
keywords "Cloud" or "Lowresolution" as the NAME. I can then easily
create a shapefile using the Esri SHP (OSM Schema) and the OSM Data
Model in the HOT export tool. Would this be an acceptable option?
Thanks
John
