[OSM-dev] Import OSM (XAPI/.osm) Into Drupal
Hi! I have a site configured and could really use some help with XPATH queries to select nodes for import into my site. I've worked for almost a year now and put over a million changes into OSM.org and it would be super-dee-duper if you could please help me to figure out how to access that data :) I've got a really simple POI file and a pretty simple interface for the Xpath configuration. Does anyone have a few minutes to help out, or some previous experience? From this file : ?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'? osm node id='-832' action='modify' visible='true' lat='-6.587172610170637' lon='106.79715307393867' tag k='leisure' v='park' / tag k='name' v='Park' / /node node id='-830' action='modify' visible='true' lat='-6.656610878203467' lon='106.84743506028379' tag k='name' v='Pasar Ciawi' / tag k='shop' v='mall' / /node node id='-828' action='modify' visible='true' lat='-6.649718578831805' lon='106.84447562987759' tag k='amenity' v='bar' / tag k='name' v='Soponyono Cafe' / /node node id='-826' action='modify' visible='true' lat='-6.619922450944434' lon='106.81638669365105' tag k='name' v='Buah Segar' / tag k='petarakyat' v='include' / tag k='shop' v='supermarket' / /node /osm I am trying to place: (example below in format source-xml -new field) lat - lat v='name' - title I want to pull out more information but if you could help with just these I think I can figure out the rest, yes? I have spent the day on this and I can't seem to find any hints. I even did the W3C schools Xpath tutorial, but, I can seem to select the name, or anything, for that matter. Any help appreciated. You don't have to be familiar with Drupal to help. If anyone has other ideas for simply converting this to a CSV file that would be nice also, but, at some point, I know I will have to get a whole lot more technical. A little help now would be greatly appreciated, though! Alex Bogor, Indonesia ___ dev mailing list dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
Re: [OSM-dev] WHODIDIT
Hi Pierre, The Age drop-down list as a strange behaviour. The html page seems to be updated properly to reflect the Age option selected. But the content of the Age box is not always updated properly. It is possible to select the seven Age options listed, but only the first three are showed properly in the Age box after the user confirms a choice. Up to the week option, the Age option selected appears in the box, thus confirming the user choice. For other options down in the list (ie. Month, Half a year or Eternity), there is a roll back to the beginning of the list. Then 6 hours is showed in the Age box. This same behavior is observed both with mouse or keyboard selection. if I click with the mouse on the down arrow beside the box and select an option, or after a first selection, if I use de down arrow key to go down in the list and press the enter key to confirm my choice. Pierre Thanks for your report. This issue should be fixed now. Cheers, Simon ___ dev mailing list dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev

Hi! lat - lat v='name' - title `//node` should give you a list of nodes. For each of these nodes `@lat` would give the latitude, and `tag[@k='name']/@v` would give the name field.

Yes, to do efficient monitoring of an area, It is of interest to show edits other then nodes. But I understand the technical challenge. There were nodes edited in the area but they are not reported. The last ones are in december 2011. for example : node id='1452468075' timestamp='2011-12-03T19:15:34Z' node id='550058835' timestamp='2011-10-03T20:39:08Z' Pierre De : Simon Legner simon.leg...@gmail.com À : dev@openstreetmap.org dev@openstreetmap.org Cc : Pierre Béland infosbelas-...@yahoo.fr Envoyé le : Mardi 13 novembre 2012 8h53 Objet : Re: [OSM-dev] WHODIDIT Hi Pierre, On 13/11/12 14:38, Pierre Béland wrote: A second problem.

The biggest problem with the Mapnik stylesheet right now is that it's in SVN.

That is an important point. Developing a map style is not completely comparable to writing a software application. On the other hand with the end of osmarender there is no real comunity style sheet any more in development. Something less aimed at consistency or beauty, but rather a patch work of the ideas of dozens of crazy mappers ;-) It would be nice if we could have both: the official mapnik style with cartographic thought and reduced display of features and a branch which is more a laboratory of different ideas. Many of the rarely used features wouldn't actually clutter the map if they were rendered, and there is still quite some important stuff missing which normally would appear on a map, for instance city gates (names), towers, castles (icon) etc. cheers, Martin ___ dev mailing list dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev

Matt Amos wrote i'd sound a note of caution about having separate clean and detailed styles. we sort-of did that before with mapnik and osmarender respectively and... well, we don't have osmarender any more. I doubt that having to maintain two styles was what killed osmarender. It was a technological issue in that the renderer required far too many resources while being less powerful than mapnik in the end and made it difficult to maintain the required server infrastructure. I am hoping that client side rendering (e.g. KothicJS) with vector tiles (geojson) will replace the purpose of osmarender one day. It should allow a wide variety of different styles without added server resource requirements, including e.g. a detailed community style. It would also make it much easier for people to experiment with all sorts of specific purpose styles and showing them to the world without having to shell out for a beefy tile rendering server to do so. That way OSMF can host one cartographically clean and tightly maintained, but fairly comprehensive bitmap style and one json vector tile style, while covering a broad set of wishes and needs.

I though SVN actually worked better than github for projects that don't have a maintainer. The SVN repository used to have a very inclusive account policy. I.e. basically anyone could get an account and then commit to any part of the repository. So people could just do it and commit their patches to the master branch of a project even if there was no clear or active maintainer. So people didn't even have to wait for someone to pull their patch into the maintainers repository. Whether those changes would then actually get deployed to the OSMF tileserver is another matter, but that is the same issue with any github repository too. But yes, I agree that currently the lack of a maintainer for the osm mapnik style sheet is probably the main problem.
