Re: [Tagging] Last call for comments on Proposed features/childcare2.0

2013-06-18 Thread Andreas Balzer
Hi,
 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Proposed_features/childcare2.0
 The proposal seems intuitive but has lots of disambiguations. What if there is 
a kindergarten with an after school included? I'd propose amenity=childcare, 
childcare:kindergarten=yes, childcare:after_school=yes, 
childcare:after_school:opening_hours=*, etc. I know it's longer, I know it's 
more difficult to write but editors nowadays should really take care of this 
and this is the logical way to do it. --andreas.balzer 20:51, 18 June 2013

Hi everybody,

after more than a month of waiting for comments on the proposed feature i'd 
like to start the voting. Before doing so i kindly request everybody who wants 
to get involved to provide their comments on the subject.

Re: [Tagging] indoor maps

2012-08-27 Thread Andreas Balzer
Hi,first of all: Sry about the bad spelling in my email, my spell checking 
Software is currently ruining my writing skills and I cannot turn it off.  
Short about me: I'm a student at TU Munich, Germany and am very interested in 
indoor mapping as well. I am working with five other students on a renderer, 
routing engine for .NET including real time Information and will be working on 
a touch enabled editor  for Windows 8 beginning next month. We are quite 
successfull with it, already get commercial support but don't have any webpage 
online at the moment. About indoor in General at OSM: It's a very active but 
somehow fragmented discussion. There are multiple tagging schemes but three 
Major ones that have to be combined into a single big one. Namely indoorOSM, 
indoor (by Andreas Hubel) as well as the OSM world 4D schemes. The last Focus 
more on 3D buildings but pointed out that you cannot split the outside from the 
inside of a building. It is very important for renderers and Editor developers 
to be confronted with a somehow stable tagging scheme. I talked to the guy 
behind the josm kenzi 3d rendering plugin and he basically has the same view on 
it. About your work: Great. I really like it. However it would be better if you 
can get your changes of the indoorOsm scheme directly into that scheme and move 
those Contents around in the wiki. About the Editor itself: Would be nice to 
Skype about it as I'll start developing one as mentioned and it would be great 
to join our efforts into a Multi platform suited editor.

 Subject: [Tagging] indoor maps
 
 I am interested in doing some work for indoor maps in OpenStreetMap. I
 would like to get some tagging discussion started among the broader
 OSM community. In addition to a good standard, it must be insured that
 the new indoor data does not negatively impact renderers and editors.
 
 I have started working on an editor geared towards indoor maps, after
 considering the option of a JOSM plugin versus a new editor. It is
 still pretty early in development but the editor is reaching the point
 where I can send it to people to get some input. Currently it connects
 to the dev OSM server.
 
 The following is a general link for indoor mapping in OSM:
 http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Indoor_Mapping
 
 This link leads to a page for the indoor editor I have been working
 on: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Termite
 
 I look forward to any discussion and to resolving an indoor mapping standard.
 
 Cheers,
 
 Dave

Re: [Tagging] How to tag the width of a gate

2012-02-25 Thread Andreas Balzer

Hi,using barrier=gate on a single node and therefore the width key is the 
documented approach in the wiki. :-) However as far as I know there is nothing 
specifying the thickness of the gate. Andreas

Subject: Re: [Tagging] How to tag the width of a gate


The key width can only be applied to a way, not to a node (e.g. a gate).



You could make separate nodes for the two gateposts, with a connecting way to 
represent the gate itself, and apply the width tag to that way.
To me the easiest answer is to use barrier=gate, width=xxx.

I can not see any reason why you should not use width for a node, if it is the 
sort of node that has a width, like a gate, doorway etc.

Re: [Tagging] Wheelchair ramp

2011-11-30 Thread Andreas Balzer

I don't know about a specific tag but if the ramp is not only for wheelchair 
users, but e.g. also to access the location with a bike you could use 
wheelchair=yes, specify width and incline. However I'd favor a documented 
approach. Andreas

  I see

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - entrance/door

 2011/11/17 Andreas Balzer andreas.bal...@live.de:
  Hello,
  I've added a proposal on how to tag doors. It would be nice to get your
  opinions on this.
  http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/entrance/door
 
 
 I like this proposal but would change
 entrance:door=yes
 to
 entrance=yes and barrier=door to stay in line with current tagging.
So to change entrance:door:*= to *=, e.g. entrance:door:type=hinged to 
door:type=hinged? 
 When talking about doors there are also other details that might be 
 remarkable:
 door position in the opening (inside, outside, center)I don't understand 
 this. Do you mean the direction in which the door opens, e.g. towards the 
 more secure area (from public to private) or against it? Then what do you 
 mean with center? Do OSM areas have unique ids in respect to their 
 surroundings?
 and opening direction (left or right: when you stand in front of the
 door from the side to where the door opens, is it attached left or
 right, have a look here:
 http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Datei:Aufschlagrichtung.giffiletimestamp=20080904100726

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Proposed features/entrance/indoor-usage

2011-11-17 Thread Andreas Balzer

Hello Peter,thank you for your comment.Indeed it seems to be quite difficult to 
achieve indoor mapping with OSM and JOSM at this moment. However there's 
currently a great deal of research being invested by universities on this 
topic. Our university (TU München) had several bachelor theses on the topic and 
our computer science department got mapped to some degree in multiple layers 
(see 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?minlon=11.6665525436401minlat=48.2617683410645maxlon=11.6693410873413maxlat=48.2632865905762).
 Me and three other master students got asked by our university to create a 
prototype routing application for Windows Phone as part of Imagine Cup. We are 
currently getting support by Microsoft and several local public transport 
organizations to connect valuable data into the prototype. I think when it's 
possible to prove that there is demand - by endusers and companies, more OSM 
users get interested in mapping buildings in their environment. Having a 
standard at that point in time will be crucial. There's already a lot going on 
with staircases, layers and certain elements on these layers. However there is 
nothing yet on doors and the mentioned feature proposal seems to fit naturally 
in there. I have been reading into OSM now for two days so I barely scratched 
the surface but I guess a CS graphics chair could add 3d plugins to JOSM to 
enable layered mapping. Do you know of anything in that direction?  Andreas

Hi Andreas.



I am kind of a detail mapper (mapping sidewalks as own ways and so
on), but I am not sure about indoor mapping in general.



All OSM editor programs I know are not well fitting into the area of
editing more than one level/layer: bridges are okay as nodes are not
on the same location most often, but more is difficult.

If you ever tried to map a stairway from basement to the first floor
(or above) of a building, winding around in between, you will
probably know what I mean.



Mapping rooms is similar: Often Walls are exactly on top of each
other (as they carry the building's structure and roof).



You see: mapping rooms is not trivial in general, but IMHO the
problem is even bigger, if one already mapped the rooms of a
building, while another one wants to fix e.g. the shape of the
building itself (this may happen often).

What to do now with the rooms?

Of course that's a problem we always have when editing other's work;
but here it's really much data that has to be corrected, and it's
difficult to do so.



Room entrances of course are only useful in combination with rooms -
so that's my answer to your question.



BUT:

I would appreciate additions to JOSM (and other editors) helping to
deal with problems like this: multiple levels, the always discussed
problem of parallel osm-ways describing a road and so on.

If there would exist software support, I can imagine useful
additional mapping, yes.



regards

Peter

There is a feature regarding entrances to buildings. For me it

to rooms too. Would be nice to get comments on this.
