Hi
Fyi, I've been corresponding a little with Upande off thread, I know them from
my time in Kenya. I've had much the same questions and feedback. Glad to see
we're all trying to help. Innocensia, we're simply going to need more
information, in the right ways, to help you out. Perhaps some of us can join
you for a Skype chat sometime soon, to talk through this.
Here's a bit of my feedback...
Can you explain more on the wiki page you created
(http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Enugu_State_Routing_Project) how
specifically the data was collected? How it was processed into a GIS? What
process you used to transform and upload into OSM?
From a quick look at your changesets myself, there is definitely an issue in
the tags.
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/234084390/history
You should as much as possible map the columns you are using in the GIS to OSM
tags. Anything which doesn't fit OSM tags should go in its own namespace. For
instance,_ROAD_NAME_ = Abakaliki Road/Nigandi Avenue
should be "name=Abakaliki Road/Nigandi Avenue"
(http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Name)
The only thing you might consider bringing in within its own namespace is the
objectid, but only if you think you might re-import/conflate later on. What's
the long term plan for managing this Enugu data?
Cheers
Mikel
