Open Charge Map (http://openchargemap.org) is a mostly open source database of electric vehicle charging locations.worldwide. It is mostly data entered and maintained by the community and licensed viaCC BY-SA 3.0 but it also contains some imported data covered by other licences.
I am proposing a data bridge between OCM and OSM to: - import the 27,000+ locations currently on OCM into OSM - provide a mechanism to highlight new OCM entries and to port them into OSM - provide a de-duplication function to prevent duplicate nodes being entered into OSM as a result of this import - provide a mechanism to highlight new charge stations added directly into OSM as potential new locations for OCM - provide a mechanism to identify changes in geolocation of stations in OCM and transferring the new location to the OSM node - provide a mechanism to identify stations removed from OCM and to remove the charging station attribute, or the entire node, from OSM The licensing issues are not clear to me. The data on OCM is a mix of CC BY-SA 3.0 and third-party data imported under their own licenses. However, I do not propose that we import any data other than open data from OCM. In fact, I propose that we only import the location, to position the node, and a reference back to OCM. I am hoping that this will satisfy the OSM licensing requirements as we are not actually storing anything other than location and a OCM reference. I am also hoping that as the data being added to OSM is of a very limited nature that it will also make any import and bridging considerably easier and simpler. My OSM experience is limited but I have been an editor for a couple of years and attended "State of the Map" when it was in Birmingham so at least I am familiar with the general procedures and I fully appreciate the importance of licence compliance and the importance of data integrity and protection within OSM. Your thoughts would be appreciated. See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OpenChargeMap
