Indeed. How do you imagine to build routing using present, or proposed, 
data structures?


 And where do they start and end?

That's beyond my point, which was to show that complication of data 
structures in OSM is unnecessary, because even at the level you are 
proposing, adding routing information won't be possible.




And again: Why can't you accept, that others want to map something more
in detail then you do?


I don't ever remember expressing how I would like to map, because I am 
not speaking about my personal preferences (unlike many people here), 
but about what in my opinion is good for the OSM and its future.


I do not understand why so many people want to turn OSM into their 
personal playground, and do not think about new users, for whom 
learning curve is important.


Let's just get down to differences, I say your proposal is too 
difficult. I've already spoken well about its data integrity, but new 
users don't care about it. We need something that is as good as yours in 
data integrity, and as easy to grasp as my proposals.

I think we've got three broad decisions:

1) Whether the use of stop area / group relations should be
a) widespread
b) exceptional

b, ideally with a definition to what cases those exceptions are.




2) Whether route relations should
a) contain all the variants in one relation, with no attempt at
ordering, just stops identified as forward/backward
b) try to match all the individual stop-sets that you might find in a
timetable
c) contain an ordered set of ways/stops, in whatever fashion the
mapper feels appropriate


b (by the way: how would (a) work in the case of a ring line?)


a or b

For ring or spoon-shaped lines, select an arbitrary terminus/termini. 
IMHO It's easier to do an exception for the occasional ring line, than 
enforce more difficult data structures on mappers (although I personally 
dislike roles, and would love to see them improved).




3) Whether there should be a new public_transport key, to try to
clarify the bus_stop/tram_stop distinction
a) aim to move tram_stops to alongside the track, and put something
else (tram_stop_group / tram_station?) on the track
b) aim to move bus_stops onto the road, and put something else
(platform?) alongside
c) encourage the use of platforms on tram systems, and use those in
the relation instead of tram_stop
d) add a new public_transport key, so that public_transport=platform
can be used for everything


c and d (we shouldn't redefine tags that are in million-times use!)


c. with pole *or* platform. Ideally there would be some degree of 
compatibility between tram stops and bus stops, i.e. a pair of tags on 
each side that are at least compatible to a degree.

Potlatch 2 includes a display of the ways/nodes in order, and you can
move them about, but it doesn't currently tell you anything about the
member, except the id and the role (so it's pretty much a list of
random numbers).

I've raised a ticket requesting at least the member's name to be
displayed, maybe also the distance from the first member (which would
let you put them in rough order, unless your route doubles back on
itself). If we had something like that then I think ordered relations
would at last be practical in Potlatch.

Sounds fair. Maybe we should have a tag to indicate which approach was used.

paradigm=allinoneroute

or

I guess I'm fortunate our PT company assigns a new ref number when
such a situation occurs. This means there are many routes which share
large parts of their paths... So the number of relations doesn't
become less, but since the ref number is different, we don't have
another choice but to create separate relations for these cases.

Yours is good for beginners. And yours is also good for a white area mapper.

Advanced mappers are not happy with it. In an every dog shit area a 
mapper wants to map with a higher resolution then highway=bus_stop can 
provide. And an every dog shit mapper is possibly interested in 
mapping detailed geo-based meta information like routes.


I tried to reduce my proposal to allow simpler cases. stop_area_group 
has been completely removed. A lot is now optional (stop_position, 
platform, stop_area, route_master). So it should be possible for 
beginners to learn step-by-step what they want/need. And one relation 
per direction is easier to explain then forward/backward roles.


And I do not think we (mappers) can replace an existing public transport 
routing solution like hafas (too complex and too dynamic). The maximum 
possible in my opinion is to import this data into OSM. But with a 
single route relation solution I do not see such a solution.

There is already a tag for this: public_transport=stop_position. Used 
27'000 times in OSM. And you are right, in many (but not all) cases it 
is courtesy tagging. Therefore I have changed it in my proposal to optional.



I'm quite happy if people want to leave tram_stop on the track for the

wait.


I do not think it is a good idea to redefine thousands of used

 Of course this would result in a map that can *not* be copied under
 CC-BY-SA because it is virtually impossible to make a copy and leave out
 the foreign data that has been printed on top.


I agree with you that such a map would probably have to be considered
produced work and not collective, but IANAL. At least our intentions

[OSM-legal-talk] Coloriuris compatibility

2011-02-02 Thread jynus
Hi,

I have just left a meeting with representatives of my local concil
(Zaragoza, a Spanish city with 700.000 inhabitants). They have the
willing to provide transparency and open data to its citizens,
however, I have not been able to make a clear agreement to license
their data under CC-BY-SAODBL. They have their own custom license
which is equivalent in spirit (free usage even commercial,
attribution) and have even more relaxed terms, but I am afraid that it
may not be compatible with current OSM license(s). Upon asked for
explicit permission, they answered that their lawyers had to have a
look at the details of our license. Conversations are still open.

The license is this one [0]. Sorry, it is only in Spanish, but a copy
and paste to Google translate will provide you something more or less
readable.

Another odd thing is that every data set can only be downloaded,
separately, after having signed that you are ok with the license. I do
not know who should be the entity to sign it from our part, in case it
would be useful (the Spanish chapter, the OSMF?). I would not bother
you with the problems with this concrete import I am trying to
negotiate if it weren't because this Coloriouris licenses[1],
although not so popular as CCs, are being used for other potential
data sources both in Spain and Latin America. In this case, for
example, it is vector data (some of it, real time!), of all services
of one of the largest municipalities in Spain.

Any help or advice about license compatibility or how to deal with
this subject will be grateful,

 I have assumed it refers to the geodata, which is unmodified unless you

 reading I can think of that makes any sense of the phrase unmodified form

It couldn't possibly refer to the geodata, because the license is
usable for more than just geodata.

My take is that it refers to the separate and independent work.  So
that means you can make any modifications you want, so long as those
modifications are CC-BY-SA.  These modifications are made under the
clause allowing you to make derivative works, not under the clause
allowing you to use the work as part of a collection.  It's only when
you start adding non-CC-BY-SA works to the collection that you no
longer can make modifications.

 Clearly no rendering of any map is going to be unmodified in the sense of
 having identical sequences of 0s and 1s to the database, in which case there
 could be no such thing as a collective work based on a database, ever. Is
 that what you mean by prohibits everything or allows everything?

Yes.

 It seems
 clear to me that the CC licenses are attempting to allow stuff but impose
 conditions, not to prohibit everything.

I agree, and that's why I think my interpretation of what separate
and independent means is correct.

I think you have to look at the requirements of separate,
independent, and unmodified together as a whole, not as
independent requirements.  CC-BY-SA 3.0 is more clear on this, though
you could still argue that it has the same loophole.

Combining image elements (that may or may not embody data) is collage. 
Collage produces derivative works, not collective works:

Individual photos over a map are like individual samples over a backing

 This is a funny example because you could conceivably cut out a corner from
 the map, then place the image where it is now... it is just about
 conceivable to make a copy of this map without copying the image so maybe
 this could work as a collection.

I think so.  The main point that I would argue is that the
modification of cutting out a corner is independent from the image.

I suppose you could argue the same if you cut out holes from an OSM
map, without knowing what you were going to put there, and then laid
in copyrightable non-CC-BY-SA elements into the holes.  Maybe
technically legal, but definitely a subversion of the spirit of the
license.


 How about this map of the Isle of White overlaid with illustrations?
 http://www.steve.shalfleet.net/

 Certainly the whole map needs to by CC-BY-SA.

 We did have some pages with examples about this on our wiki, years ago. I
 remember the example was a tourist guide with maps and photos, and there
 were several cases where maps and photos (and text) were sometimes
 superimposed, sometimes side-by-side, and the whole thing was commented as
 to what is derived and what is collected. I cannot find it now, however.

 I think that in those examples, there was the concept of interaction and
 co-dependency - the question of does the overlaid stuff work without the
 map. So if you carefully place your photo or illustration at a certain
 point in the map, and your photo or illustration would lose its meaning
 without the map, then it is clearly a derived work; but if your photo just
 sits there and could just as well sit there without the map, then it could
 be called a collection. This is not an interpretation I necessarily share
 and I'm not sure about the exact wording but it has something going for it.

 Indeed anything overlaid on the map, or any other ccbysa image or
 photograph would need to be on an open license if the strict
 interpretation was used.

 I don't think this interpretation is particularly strict. There have indeed
 been several people requesting that my OSM book be fully CC-BY-SA'ed because
 it contains OSM illustrations on some pages - *That* I call a strict reading
 (and one I clearly don't share).

Me neither.  I don't agree with using javascript and layers to try to
subvert the intent of the license.  I think Frederick is wrong when he
says If the layers are separable
then you can have different licenses on each.

However...

 Any rendering, whether to paper
 or to a screen, changes the bits used;

One argument which could be used is that a rendering to a screen is
not fixed, therefore it is not a derivative work.  For a US case
where this was successfully argued, see Galoob v. Nintendo
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_Galoob_Toys,_Inc._v._Nintendo_of_America,_Inc.).

However, I believe there was a more recent ruling regarding website
framing which largely limited the application of Galoob v. Nintendo
to websites.

 if you take that as the meaning of
 modified, then there could be no unmodified renderings of any database,

I agree.

 which means in turn that there could be no collective works, so the
 conditions about being separate and independent would be irrelevant.

Did you read my earlier explanation?  The rendered map is released
under CC-BY-SA, and then *that* can be part of a collective work.

Alternatively, the database, as it exists on disk, is a collective
work with the other files on disk being other works which are part of
the collection.

There's no bar against collective works.

Let us not confuse CC-BY-SA (about which I'm talking here) with the new 
license, ODbL.


CC-BY-SA does *not* make a distinction between data and other content, 
indeed it is not even primarily meant to govern data. This is different 
for ODbL, and ODbL will actually allow you to make just the kind of work 
I am talking about here, but ODbL is the planned future license and I am 
talking about the current license.


The *only* way to create a work in which one part is CC-BY-SA and the 
other is not free is if that work is a collective work.


In my opinion, something were images from CC-BY-SA and non-CC-BY-SA 
licensed sources are intermixed in a way that they are not easily

For the record, I also think that Frederik's view is correct. That's
how I understand how derivative works operate from working with
images and illustrations in Wikipedia, and this OSM interpretation
just strengthens that idea.

This is one of the two main reasons why I was convinced that CC-BY-SA
a poor choice of license for the OSM database (and why ODbL is
better): CC forces derivative map images to be CC-BY-SA as well as any
inseparable mash-ups of those map images. (The second reason is that
you don't have up-front access to the raw data used to make the
derivative map images, which I consider more valuable than the image
itself in the context of OSM.)

 The difference is who makes the work.

 If you have an image comprising two separatable layers - say, an OpenLayers
 map with a CC-BY-SA source and a proprietary source - then both these images
 are published by the people operating the servers (may be the same server,
 may be different servers).

 You have two images, with different licensing, and it is *you* who combines
 them, using software that runs on *your* computer, into one rendering.

 If *that* rendering was now published, it would certainly have to be
 CC-BY-SA (say if you make a screenshot or a print). However, the people you
 get the images from do not publish that rendering; they publish two distinct
 images, licensed differently, which is totally ok.

There's no way that would ever hold up in court.  For one thing, I
don't think you're right that the person doing the combining is the
person who visits the website, or the person who owns the computer
which does the combining.  Rather, I'd say the person doing the
combining is the person who instructs the computer to combine the
images, in other words, the people you get the images from.

Furthermore, even if the direct infringer *was* the person who visited
the website, the person who wrote the website to facilitate the
infringement would still be guilty of contributory infringement.

The only way to get around infringement in the case of layers is to
successfully claim 1) that no derivative work is produced (probably
under the argument that the combined work is not fixed; or 2) that
the license permits the particular combination.

Of course, the real issue here is that we're talking about
infringement for which the actual damages are miniscule, and for which
statutory damages probably aren't available (as the work has not been
registered).

 That's the difference between print (where the image is already combined for
 you, and published in combined form) and a layered web application (where it
 is you, through certain instructions you give to software running on your
 machine, who creates the derived work by superimposing the images).

Nonsense.  The person visiting the website doesn't give the
instructions to the machine.  The person providing the website does.

Re: [OSM-talk] New tool in Potlatch 2 for areas that share a way

2011-02-02 Thread David Fawcett
I believe that if one is tagging an area to imply that there is
contamination, one should cite an authoritative source.  Having your
property tagged as potentially contaminated could lead to difficulties
in selling or refinancing the property.  Even if a property was
contaminated, it could be remediated to the point where no
contamination exists on the site anymore.  If the tags are not
maintained, they will likely be inaccurate.

In the US, when a person/corporation has a major financial or
ownership transaction related to a property, there is often a review
of the current and historical activities that have taken place on and
in the vicinity of the property.  (A Phase I Environmental
Assessment).  The result of this is a list of potential environmental
risks or hazards.

I would suggest keeping information about contamination out of OSM and
leave it up to the end user to mash OSM data with up-to-date data from
the local environmental authority.  If one has knowledge about current
(and maybe past) land use activities, they could tag that.  This in
turn could be a good source for people who are doing environmental
assessments.

Think about the weight of tagging a property as contaminated.
Incorrectly tag a property as a pub and you might get some frustrated
people parked in front of the house on a Saturday night.  Incorrectly
tag a property as contaminated and you may delay an important
transaction or force a person to spend money to prove that their
property isn't contaminated.

Maybe that's a loophole in the license.  But if so, it's a pretty big one.

What is meant by content is unmodified?  Obviously the printed base

Oh I see, I didn't realise that's the wording of the licence.

That's an unfortunate turn of phrase then. :-) I'll suggest it's changed 
for CC 4.0.


2.0 UK states:

Collective Work means the Work in its entirety in unmodified form 
along with a number of other separate and independent works


http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/uk/legalcode

Flattened layers are not separate or independent.

2.0 unported gives some good examples of what is meant by a collective 
work:


Collective Work means a work, such as a periodical issue, anthology 
or encyclopedia


http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/legalcode

The examples are of discrete, spatially separated aggregations of 
separate entities.


Flattened layers are unambiguously derivative works.


as the CC-BY content is unmodified, it can be assembled with other
things to form a collective work. The CC-BY licenses do not say that
they still have to be separate and independent after assembly, just before.


It says precisely that they must be unmodified, separate and independent 
after collection.


Otherwise they are derivative works.


Layers combined destructively (such as in print) are modified, and so
are an adaptation.



Firstly, the topmost layer is clearly unmodified by this kind of
combination.


The derived work that exists as a result of combining it with the 
underlying tiles makes it an adaptation as per UK BY-SA 2.0 1.c



If a CC-BY tile is below the top layer, then yes, you could
argue that it is either modified, or no longer being used whole, by
parts of it being hidden. But if we're talking about using OSM data,


I do argue that, and it is the case. But I also argue that it is being 
combined with other material to create a derivative work, rather than 
placed alongside it to make a collective work.


In either case it is an adaptation and therefore a Derivative Work.


which is made up of points, as long as they're unmodified before
assembly - ie rendering - then I still think it's a collective work


But the rendering of those points, as a derivative of them, is under BY-SA.

If it was a collective work then yes.


ODbL is much clearer about this, but has this same effect - produced
works have to be attributed but it doesn't attempt to force a license on

ODbL is explicitly a database copyleft. It does force a licence on the 
producers of produced works, and the attribution is forced on the 
produced works as a way of advertising this.

2011-02-02 Thread Peter Miller
I have been following the discussion but have been in meetings today so
haven't been able to contribute.

I agree we can discuss at lenght what 'separable' and 'unmodified' mean as
abstract concepts but, as usual with legal contracts, the words will be
interpreted in a particular context.

It is probably worth looking at some more real examples therefore, in
addition to my legal forest boundary example.

The strict view expressed above by Frederick and others would mean that it
would be impossible to use osm mapping as a bacground for this crime data as
in the chart, 'Violent crime in the USA' unless the overlaid data was also
on an open licence or the crime data was to the side of the map.
http://thesocietypages.org/graphicsociology/2009/02/17/typical-crime-map-victimization/

And this one showing the location of the 'Trafford Law Centre' unless the
photo was also on a free license or moved so as not to obscure the map.
http://www.traffordlawcentre.org.uk/contact_us/contact.htm

How about this map of the Isle of White overlaid with illustrations?
http://www.steve.shalfleet.net/

Indeed anything overlaid on the map, or any other ccbysa image or photograph
would need to be on an open license if the strict interpretation was used.

In my view any corrections or additions to the map of features represented
on that map view belong in the DB, anything else can be used to create a
collection.

Peter

For print, yes, that's about the size of it.

It illustrates that CC have a mountain to climb in making CC 4.0 relevant to
databases, and I (genuinely) wish them luck.

Electronically, you could perhaps layer one database (represented as
pushpins, say) on top of another (represented as other pushpins, or a
polyline, or even a map), in a separable way (e.g. layers can be switched
off), and call it a collective work. OSM users have traditionally permitted
this, but I believe Rob generally refers to it as a consensual
hallucination. :)

http://www.traffordlawcentre.org.uk/contact_us/contact.htm


This is a funny example because you could conceivably cut out a corner 
from the map, then place the image where it is now... it is just about 
conceivable to make a copy of this map without copying the image so 
maybe this could work as a collection.



How about this map of the Isle of White overlaid with illustrations?
http://www.steve.shalfleet.net/


Certainly the whole map needs to by CC-BY-SA.

We did have some pages with examples about this on our wiki, years ago. 
I remember the example was a tourist guide with maps and photos, and 
there were several cases where maps and photos (and text) were sometimes 
superimposed, sometimes side-by-side, and the whole thing was commented 
as to what is derived and what is collected. I cannot find it now, however.


I think that in those examples, there was the concept of interaction and 
co-dependency - the question of does the overlaid stuff work without 
the map. So if you carefully place your photo or illustration at a 
certain point in the map, and your photo or illustration would lose its 
meaning without the map, then it is clearly a derived work; but if your 
photo just sits there and could just as well sit there without the map, 
then it could be called a collection. This is not an interpretation I 
necessarily share and I'm not sure about the exact wording but it has 
something going for it.



Indeed anything overlaid on the map, or any other ccbysa image or
photograph would need to be on an open license if the strict
interpretation was used.


I don't think this interpretation is particularly strict. There have 
indeed been several people requesting that my OSM book be fully 
CC-BY-SA'ed because it contains OSM illustrations on some pages - *That* 
I call a strict reading (and one I clearly don't share).

Frederik

Yes, that is the intent of the license (specifically, the overlaid

intent when I license my works under the license.

Yes, that certainly could be argued, and if you want to be safe, you
should release it all under CC-BY-SA.

What I meant was, by tagging the larger area as industrial and _not_
micro-mapping it as grass, you have a tag (industrial) that
implies a certain amount of industrial activity, which in turn
implies that it might not be as safe as your average grassy area.

So, I was arguing in favour of tagging the larger block of land
as industrial.

Yes all canals are tidal saltwater, however I understood from the Wiki that

 Pessoal,

 Estou fazendo alguns inputs de trechos que tenho de Campinas/SP através de
 um app para iPhone chamado OSMTrack. Parece que funciona bem, os uploads
 foram aceitos pelo site, etc.

 Alguém se habilita para mexer nesses dados? O problema é que eu consigo
 fazer a coleta mas não tenho muito tempo esse ano para fazer a edição desse
 material...

Bem vindo ao osm David!
Estou ficando bem contente com o progresso em Campinas. Durante muito tempo
não tinha nada lá e ultimamente está melhorando rápido lá, parabéns para todos
envolvidos.

Em São Carlos, que estou mapeando, usamos GPS e as imagens satélite do Bing.
GPS são necessários para:
a) areas mais novas do que imagens aéreas
b) areas que não tem cobertura do imagens aéreas
c) como um fonte para alinhar imagens aéreas

c) é particularmente importante. As imagens por aqui tem um
deslocamento de 10-15m,
e tudo ia ficar errado sem compensar o deslocamento das imagens aéreas.

Passei algumas vezes em Campinas de ônibus/taxi/carro com GPS, eles
devem ser suficientes
para corregir o deslocamento.

Vale sim. Esses traces serão úteis para fazer o alinhamento das imagens
antes de mapear. Ainda mais em regiões com muito relevo: neste caso, o
realinhamento precisa ser feito de um bairro para outro.

Re: [Talk-br] [OpenStreetMap] Fwd: Re: CBERS 2B image over Bom Jardim

2011-02-02 Thread Arlete Meneguette
Hi, there !
Tks ever so much for your warm welcome.
Cheers, my new friends.
Arlete

2011/2/2 Jean-Guilhem Cailton j...@arkemie.com:
 Arlete,

 I transmitted your request to our contact at Spot Image earlier today,
 just after receiving it.

 But, from my understanding of how the Disaster Charter works, frankly, I
 would not expect other post-disaster imagery to be available. We already
 know that several attempts had been made, that could not complete
 because of cloud coverage, before it was possible to obtain the scene
 that is currently available.

 On the other hand, with the SpotMaps that is currently available, it
 should already be possible to improve significantly the OSM base map of
 Bom Jardim. It is from 2008-2009, and, from what I've heard, its
 geometrical accuracy is generally considered to be good.

 I don't understand very well what makes you consider it difficult to
 vectorize/trace details (according to your PDF, which is too large to
 be sent to the mailing list). It's probably because you are a new JOSM
 user. Something that many new users (including myself when I was one) do
 not find at first is that, if you click with the right mouse button on
 your SPOT_2008-2009 layer, you get a menu where you can Change
 resolution to adapt it to your current frame of view. If you do this
 when the scale bar in the upper left corner is around 100 m long, you
 should be able to see the image at full resolution (2.5 m I think, which
 is fine to trace roads and many streets).

 Also, due to a mysterious particularity with the current SpotMaps WMS
 server and its access from JOSM, if you see overlapping tiles, it is
 better to change JOSM projection method to WGS 84 (code EPSG:4326), in
 Modify / Preferences / Map projection. (And then, delete, and reload the
 layer).

 From what I remember from mapping after Alagoas floods, the primary
 highways sourced from IBGE can probably be considered not to be very
 accurate at large scale, as can be seen when comparing them to satellite
 imagery. So do not hesitate to fix them.

 You can find a JOSM guide to beginners on:
 http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JOSM/Guide

 The Brazilian OSM community can probably help you better than me if you
 encounter other difficulties, and more generally for mapping this area.
 I copy this message to the Brazilian OSM mailing list.

 Best wishes, and warm welcome to OpenStreetMap.

 Jean-Guilhem


 PS: I was not aware of your journal before today. I think that Claudio
 had mentioned on jabber that Bom Jardim had been cut off after the
 floods and landslides.

Olá pessoal.

Gostaria de confirmar algo: se eu utilizar o plugin 'Turn Restrictions' do
JOSM para indicar as proibições de sentidos em um cruzamento, por exemplo, é
suficiente para que os dados sejam corretamente tratados pelos aparelhos

Se for vai ser uma mão na roda, pois ficar desenhando saídas da via para que
o servidor não entenda que há possibilidade de se virar a esquerda em um

Hallo Frederik, Claudius, Fabian,

danke für die ausführliche Erklärung und die Links.
Ganz schön komplex, was da alles im Hintergrund geschieht!

Erstaunlich wie schnell OSM ist!
Das beeindruckt Kursteilnehmer immer wieder.

Formulierungen wie keine 10 Minuten oder in wenigen Minuten passen 
also gut im Zusammenhang mit Aktualität ist ein herausragendes 
Qualitätsmerkmal von OSM.
In Kursen demonstriere ich das: die Teilnehmer ändern etwas mit JOSM, 
ich erkläre etwas dazu oder beantworte eine Frage - und schon ist das 
Ergebnis in der Karte sichtbar :-)


_Wiki_
Wir könnten doch eine Wikiseite zum Thema Aktualität machen...
Wo wir den Weg von der Dateneingabe bis zum Erscheinen auf der Karte 
beschreiben. Frederik's Info könnten wir als Basis nehmen.

Was wäre ein sinnvoller Seitentitel?

Gruss, Markus

[Talk-de] Koennen wir die TMC-Daten rauswerfen?

2011-02-02 Thread Frederik Ramm

Hallo,

   ich aegere mich ziemlich ueber die TMC-Daten in der OSM-Datenbank. 
Ich habe nicht die Uebersicht, wer da alles dran arbeitet und dran 
gearbeitet hat, also es besteht die Gefahr, dass ich jetzt einigen 
ehrbaren Mappern auf die Fuesse trete, aber wenn's nach mir geht, muss 
das Zeug raus.


Wir haben fast aussschliesslich menschenlesbare Daten in OSM. Schnapp 
Dir ein beliebiges Objekt, und Du kannst in aller Regel verstehen, was 
die Tags daran bedeuten.


Wir sind keine Datenbank fuer irgendwelche externen Daten, die in OSM 
nicht wartbar sind, Daten, die man im RL nicht verifizieren kann.


Vielleicht kann mir mal einer den folgenden Vorgang erklaeren.

Da ist also eine harmlose Ampel in Dortmund, Node-ID 270090818, getaggt 
als highway=traffic_signals.


Dann kommt am 31, Januar der User ruhri daher und ergaenzt das Tag:

TMC:cid_58:tabcd_1:LocationCode = 47739

Wo hat er das her? Steht das auf einem Aufkleber an der Ampel? Wenn 
nicht (wenn es aus einer externen Liste/Datenbank kommt), warum muss das 
dann in OSM stehen - kann das nicht derjenige, der die Daten auswerten 
will, dann aus genau dieser externen Liste hinzufuegen?


Fuenf Stunden spaeter kommt ein TMCbot - der uebrigens, soweit ich 
sehen kann, keiner der ueblichen Anforderungen an Bots genuegt - und 
behauptet qua Changeset-Kommentar: Korrektur von Schreib- und 
Datenintegritätsfehlern in Key/Value-Paaren des deutschen TMC Schemas. 
Was er aber tatsaechlich tut, ist, noch drei weitere Tags hinzuzufugegen:


TMC:cid_58:tabcd_1:Class = Point
TMC:cid_58:tabcd_1:LCLversion = 9.00
TMC:cid_58:tabcd_1:PrevLocationCode = 28866

Wo hat er sich die jetzt wieder hergeholt? Ist es nicht offensichtlich, 
dass es sich bei diesem Node um einen Point handelt? Was besagt diese 
LCLversion, und woher weiss der Bot, dass der User ruhri 9.00 gemeint hat?


Grundsaetzlich bin ich ja fuer Anarchie beim Tagging. Aber was wir hier 
haben, ist ganz offensichtlich irgendeine externe Spezialdatenbank, die 
unter massiven Eingriffen in OSM irgendwie auf OSM abgebildet wird, und 
zwar so, dass man nicht nur tonnenweise unverstaendlichen Code in OSM 
kippen muss (highway=traffic_signals versteht jeder, aber 
TMC:cid_58:tabcd_1 versteht nur ein Computer), sondern auch noch 
taeglich Bots laufen lassen muss, um diese Daten irgendwie in Schuss zu 
halten.


Wenn jemand ein paar tausend Fotos hat und an irgendwelche Nodes in 
Deutschland sowas dranpappt wie foto_url=..., dann sagt ja keiner was 
(das versteht vorallem auch jeder). Aber von diesen TMC-Tags gibt es 
mittlerweile 175000 in Deutschland.


Die Botschaft, die bei einem neuen Mapper da ankommt, ist doch: Oh, ein 
kryptisch getaggtes Objekt. Das fass ich mal lieber nicht an.


Mir erschliesst sich der Nutzen dieser Tags nicht - kann mir jemand mal 
eine praktische Anwendung zeigen, die diese Tags benutzt?


Mir sieht das nach einem grossangelegten Designfehler aus. Da haette man 
von vornherein ein OSM-externes Mapping TMC-OSM bauen muessen, statt 
praktisch die ganze TMC-Datenbank auf OSM aufzupropfen.


Ich will jetzt nicht die Revolution anzetteln und morgen alle TMC-Daten 
loeschen (und ich aergere mich, dass ich der Geschichte nicht viel 
frueher widersprochen habe). Aber wenn es nicht irgendwelche 
ueberwaeltigenden Gruende dafuer gibt, warum diese Daten in OSM bleiben 
muessen, dann bin ich sehr dafuer, dass diejenigen, die diese Daten 
verwenden, sich da irgendwie etwas basteln, was weniger invasiv ist. 
Wenn jetzt an einem Objekt z.B. nur eine TMC-ID dranstehen wuerde und 
alles weitere - was fuer eine Klasse, was ist die naechste ID, die 
vorherige ID, wassweissich - waere extern, koennte man damit ja schon leben.


Ich suche also sozusagen eine Exit-Strategie. Ich will herausfinden, 
was und wem diese Daten nutzen, und dann ein Konzept machen, wie wir die 
Daten aus OSM entfernen koennen, ohne diesen Nutzen zu ruinieren.


Ausser natuerlich, alle ausser mir finden diese TMC-Daten ganz knorke 
und haetten lieber noch viel mehr Tags der Art 
BPF:grq_23:tiwwhs_2:MegaCode = 281763.


Bye
Frederik

Kein Navi benutzt OSM-Daten direkt; bei allen ist ein

Hallo,
Am Mittwoch 02 Februar 2011 11:10:25 schrieb Frederik Ramm:
 Hallo,
 
[ ]
 
 Vielleicht kann mir mal einer den folgenden Vorgang erklaeren.
 
 Da ist also eine harmlose Ampel in Dortmund, Node-ID 270090818, getaggt
 als highway=traffic_signals.
 
 Dann kommt am 31, Januar der User ruhri daher und ergaenzt das Tag:
 
 TMC:cid_58:tabcd_1:LocationCode = 47739

Ich antworte jetzt mal, obwohl ich den TMC-Kram inhaltlich auch nicht ganz 
verstehe. So weit ich weiß, gibt es aber im Wiki dazu eine Erklärung. Ganz 
grob für den ahnungslosen Mapper: Es sind Codes, die im Verkehrsfunk gesendet 
werden, um Hindernisse (Stau, Sperrung etc), die im Rundfunk so kodiert 
gesendet werden, einer geografischen Position auf einem Weg zuordnen zu 
können. Diese Geschichte funktioniert auf meinem Nüvi bereits insofern, dass 
es die Hindernisse anzeigt. Was jetzt noch fehlt, ist die Berücksichtigung in 
der Routenplanung. Da hoffe ich auf Fortschritte bei mkgmap.

 
 Wo hat er das her? Steht das auf einem Aufkleber an der Ampel? Wenn
 nicht (wenn es aus einer externen Liste/Datenbank kommt), warum muss das
 dann in OSM stehen - kann das nicht derjenige, der die Daten auswerten
 will, dann aus genau dieser externen Liste hinzufuegen?

Das kann er nur bedingt. Wenn ein ahnungsloser Mapper eine Ampel, die keine 
TMC-Codes hat, löscht und ein paar Meter neu einträgt, ist das für die 
Kartenansicht ok. Wenn aber in der externen TMC-Datenbank die ID der Ampel 
vermerkt ist, muss jedes mal manuell die TMC-ID auf die neue OSM-ID gesetzt 
werden. Das ist deutschlandweit kaum zu machen. So bleibt aber zu hoffen, dass 
der Mapper vorher wenigstens vorsichtshalber die Tags der alten Ampel auf die 
neue kopiert oder die Ampel verschiebt, statt sie zu löschen.

 
 Fuenf Stunden spaeter kommt ein TMCbot - der uebrigens, soweit ich
 sehen kann, keiner der ueblichen Anforderungen an Bots genuegt - und
 behauptet qua Changeset-Kommentar: Korrektur von Schreib- und
 Datenintegritätsfehlern in Key/Value-Paaren des deutschen TMC Schemas.
 Was er aber tatsaechlich tut, ist, noch drei weitere Tags hinzuzufugegen:
 
 TMC:cid_58:tabcd_1:Class = Point
 TMC:cid_58:tabcd_1:LCLversion = 9.00
 TMC:cid_58:tabcd_1:PrevLocationCode = 28866
 
[ ]
 
 Wenn jemand ein paar tausend Fotos hat und an irgendwelche Nodes in
 Deutschland sowas dranpappt wie foto_url=..., dann sagt ja keiner was
 (das versteht vorallem auch jeder). Aber von diesen TMC-Tags gibt es
 mittlerweile 175000 in Deutschland.
 
 Die Botschaft, die bei einem neuen Mapper da ankommt, ist doch: Oh, ein
 kryptisch getaggtes Objekt. Das fass ich mal lieber nicht an.

Das ist auch gar nicht so schlecht. Ein neuer Mapper sollte in so einem Fall 
jemanden fragen, der schon länger dabei ist.

 
 Mir erschliesst sich der Nutzen dieser Tags nicht - kann mir jemand mal
 eine praktische Anwendung zeigen, die diese Tags benutzt?

Unser Tagging-Stil ist doch das berühmte Wir taggen nicht für  Insofern 
ist es egal, ob es dafür zur Zeit eine Anwendung gibt. Im Übrigen hoffe ich, 
dass mkgmap irgendwann in der Lage sein wird, den TMC-Kram so aufzubereiten, 
dass die Garmin-Navis das komplett verstehen.

[ ]
 Wenn jetzt an einem Objekt z.B. nur eine TMC-ID dranstehen wuerde und
 alles weitere - was fuer eine Klasse, was ist die naechste ID, die
 vorherige ID, wassweissich - waere extern, koennte man damit ja schon
  leben.

Das wäre wahrscheinlich die beste Lösung.

 
 Ich suche also sozusagen eine Exit-Strategie. Ich will herausfinden,
 was und wem diese Daten nutzen, und dann ein Konzept machen, wie wir die
 Daten aus OSM entfernen koennen, ohne diesen Nutzen zu ruinieren.
 
 Ausser natuerlich, alle ausser mir finden diese TMC-Daten ganz knorke
 und haetten lieber noch viel mehr Tags der Art
 BPF:grq_23:tiwwhs_2:MegaCode = 281763.

Einen Vorteil haben die tags noch: Sieht auf Präsentationen wesentlich 
professioneller aus als highway=traffic_light.

Re: [Talk-de] Koennen wir die TMC-Daten rauswerfen?

2011-02-02 Thread André Riedel
Ich bin gegen ein Löschen der TMC-Daten.

Richtig ist zwar, dass relativ viele Information zusätzlich
gespeichert werden, welche nicht immer notwendig sind, da sie einfach
von einem Bot hinzugefügt werden können. Aber ein genereller Abgleich
ist nicht fehlerfrei möglich.

Marcus Wohlschon (der Initiator) hat bereits einige Automatismen
untersucht. Deutschland dient daher in erster Linie zum Test von
Import/Verknüpfung von TMC in/mit OSM. Bei Straßen mit einem way
oder einfachen Kreuzungen ist eine automatische Verknüpfung in 99%
möglich. Komplizierter wird es bei mehrspurigen Straßen (Autobahnen)
mit getrennten Ways für Hin- und Rückweg sowie Kreuzungen mehrspuriger
Straßen.

Visualisierung und Stand des TMC-Imports:
http://osm-tmc.anders-hamburg.de/?zoom=13lat=51.05703lon=13.73706layers=B0T

Die Diskussion sollte daher nicht in die Richtung, Wie können wir die
Daten so schnell wie möglich löschen? sondern mehr in Richtung Wie
können wir das Tagging vereinfachen/lesbarer gestalten? gehen.

bereits ein Problem vor, weil dies so derzeit nicht

so benötigt werden würde. Meiner Meinung nach sollte
man etwas überdenken wie man die TMC Codes einträgt.
TMC Staus oder Verkehrsbehinderungen beziehen sich
im Normalfall immer auf Straßenstücke. Diese werden
durch einen LocationCode From und To angegeben.
Diese Information ist so aber derzeit nicht bei uns
in den Daten drin und lässt sich auch eher nur
mühselig aus den OSM Daten ableiten. Dazu kommen dann
noch Faktoren wie OSM Relations und tlw. nicht
richtig eingetragene TMC Codes oder unsauber
getrennte OSM Ways ...

...und in ganz NRW gibts Nebel und Eisregen. Sowas kommt nicht nur
gesprochen vom Radio-Moderator, sondern wird eben auch via TMC
übertragen.

In TMC (via Radio bzw. teilweise auch via Sat-Radio zu empfangen)
werden letztlich drei Zahlen geschickt. Zwei davon (wobei eine leer
sein kann) ist der Location Code, die dritte Zahl gibt den Grund (und
ggf. die geschätzte Dauer) an.

Problematisch ist, daß die Punkte/Strecken/Polygone nicht trivial auf
die OSM-Gegenstücke übertragbar sind. Es gibt beispielsweise
straßentechnisch nicht das Kreuz A2/A1, sondern ein ganzes Bündel an
Ab- und Auffahrten. Um dann das Stück Strecke zwischen
(beispielsweise) diesem Kreuz und einer Abfahrt davor (wo
möglicherweise der Stau beginnt) herauszufinden, ist in den guten
OSM-Daten eben etwas mehr Aufwand nötig, weil u.a. die Fahrtrichtung
berücksichtigt werden muß.

Daher ists auch nicht so einfach machbar, einfach einen Punkt aufs
das Kreuz zu setzen und den Location Code dabeizuschreiben...

 Also offensichtlich gibt es da eine TMC-Datenbank mit bestimmten

 uns.

Richtig; zusätzlich gehören die allermeisten Objekte immer auch einem
höherwertigen Objekt an. (Autobahn-Abfahrt - Streckenabschnitt -
Bundeland)

 Diese Datenbank ist von sich aus, so wie ich das verstehe, erstmal  
 konsistent, d.h. alle Vorgaenger und Nachfolger existieren tatsaechlich,  
 es gibt keine Luecken usw.

 Nun ist es eine Sache, die einzelnen Punkte auf OSM abzubilden. Das  
 waere ideal komplett extern, aber es ginge auch noch mit einer TMC-Id an  
 einem OSM-Objekt (dieses OSM-Objekt ist in der TMC-Datenbank der Knoten  
 12345). Dafuer brauche ich genau ein Tag, das ich noch dazu relativ  
 menschenlesbar gestalten koennte, z.B.

 tmc_code=12345

Das reicht leider nicht, weil damit die /gerichtete/ Natur der
BASt-Liste nicht abgebildet werden kann. Ein TMC-Code alleine sagt Dir
noch keine /Richtung/.

 Wenn ich nun aber - aus welchen Gruenden auch immer - damit beginne,  
 nicht nur ein Mapping zwischen dem externen Graphen und der  
 OSM-Datenbank zu bauen, sondern den externen Graphen direkt in OSM  
 einzubauen, dann gibt das ganz verschiedene Probleme. Ich schaffe damit  
 (logisch betrachtet) ja ein zweites Netz von Ways, die von einem  
 TMC-Knoten zum naechsten fuehren. Das wird nun krude ueber eine Art  
 Vorgaenger-Pointer abgebildet, der, je nachdem, wie die OSM-Datenbank  
 grade dasteht, auch mal ins Leere zeigen kann, weil das entspr. Objekt  
 bei OSM fehlt oder umgetaggt wurde - obwohl ich aus der externen  
 Datenbank ja wissen koennte, welches das betr. Objekt ist...

Das wiederum läßt sich anhand der Dumps recht einfach testen.

 Bliebe herauszufinden, *wieso* hier die Enscheidung getroffen wurde,  
 nicht nur die Nodes zu mappen, sondern auch den Versuch zu unternehmen,  
 den kompletten Graphen mit zu uebernehmen. - Wir haben ja durchaus  
 mehrere Graphen in OSM, zum Beispiel Stromleitungsnetze oder  
 Pipeline-Netze oder die Eisenbahnlinien. Aber die sind alle mit Ways  
 umgesetzt und nicht mit irgendwelchen speziellen numerischen Pointern.

Die einzelnen Nodes sind bei TMC nicht so selbständig, wie das bei
diesen anderen Netzen der Fall ist. Bei TMC liegt die Intelligenz
darin, daß mit einem Knoten und einer Richtung indirekt gleich mal
noch der Straßenabschnitt, die Straße, das Bundeland etc. mitgegeben
ist. Aus der Richtung folgt damit (insbesondere bei Autobahnen und
größeren Bundesstraßen) auch die Fahrbahn.

TMC kannt keine Fahrbahn in dem Sinne, sondern nur A2 in
Positiv-Richtung und A2 in Negativ-Richtung. Irgendso auf der A2
(welcher der beiden OSM-Spuren jetzt eigentlich?) also ein tag
tmc_lcl_code=12345 zu setzen bringt also nichts, weil das entweder
auf der Gegenspur fehlen würde oder ihm die Richtung fehlt... Wenn man
die zusätzlichen Tags nicht aufbringt, ist die Auswertung noch
schlechter machbar, als das jetzt schon per TMC-Liste (von der BASt)
zu machen ist.)

 Also, in mir festigt sich die Ansicht: So, wie es ist, ist es nicht nur  
 nervig fuer die Mapper, sondern auch fuer die TMC-Anwender unnoetig  
 kompliziert; haette man die TMC-Datenbank extern, koennte man damit  
 sogar besser arbeiten.

Klares nein. Die übrigen Nutzer merken nicht viel von den TMC-Tags.
Im schlimmsten Fall gehen sie verloren. (Daß wer mutwillig TMC-Tags
vertauscht, weil es geht, wär' ja eher absurd...)

Einfache Mappings sind mit TMC so nicht zu machen.

 Wie gesagt, bis zu einem gewissen Grad wuerde ich da auch jedem  
 zugestehen, sein eigenes Ding irgnedwo in einer Nische bei OSM zu  
 machen. Eigener Prefix und gut is. Aber hier haben wir es mit einem  
 ziemlichen Kraken zu tun, der noch dazu einen taeglich laufenden  
 Korrektur-Bot braucht, und da hoert fuer mich irgendwann der Spass auf.

Der Bot wiederum sollte, nachdem die Daten einmal da sind (und solange
die BASt keine neue Listen-Version raushaut) recht unnötig sein.

Damit könnte die externe Datenbank Updates erhalten, ohne in OSM

werden. :-)
In einfachen Fällen nach bestimmten Kriterien (z.B. shop-Node gelöscht

hochgeladen) könnte man die Verlinkung eventuell sogar automatisch
nachführen.

Am besten wäre es vermutlich, für solche Fälle eine API zu haben, über
die sich externe Datenbanken über Veränderungen bestimmter

einfacher, externe Datenbanken wie Fahrpläne, Öffnungszeiten,
Veranstaltungskalender etc. mit OSM-Objekten zu verknüpfen...

Drin lassen oder sehr eng verlinken, auch aus OSM heraus!

Aber ist nicht einerseits die Datenübertragung des TMC und auch die 
Herangehensweise wie die TMC-Codes definiert sind stark veraltete Technik und 
wird das nicht in Zukunft sowieso anders laufen?

Also es ist ja abzusehen, dass die UKW-Übertragung alsbald von einer Internet-
Übertragung abgelöst wird, fast alle jetzt neu entwickelten Geräte haben ja 
mobilen Internetzugang. Wäre die Frage ob die TMC-Codes für diese 
Übertragungen auch nötig sind oder ob die das auf die für mich naheliegendere 
Weise machen: Von Koordinate [X] bis Koordinate [Y] auf Straße [Z] mit ganz 
normalen GPS-Koordinaten und einem Straßennamen (A 1) den das Navi auf 
seine Daten projeziert.

Weiß jemand wie TMCpro hier arbeitet? Auch mit (den selben) Location-Codes?

muß mich schon stark wundern, das hört sich nach Relevanz-Diskussionen
ala Wikipedia an.

TMC ist funktional direkt auf Navigationssysteme ausgelegt und nicht für
Mikrowellen und Waschmaschinen. Die Aktualität dürfte in der Regel
größer als bei Telefonnummern irgendwelcher Restaurants sein. OSM ist
gerade für Navigationssyteme und für Landkarten gedacht.

Und die Logik: Kenn ich nicht, ess ich nicht kann wohl kein Grund
sein, TMC-Daten zu löschen. Da fallen mir auf Anhieb Tags ein, die weder
mit Landkarten, noch Navis etwas zu haben, aber die Krücke muß ich wohl
hier nicht bemühen.

Das mag sein, aber macht das in der Praxis was aus?
Also viel zu oft geht die Daten-Sparsamkeit in die Richtung, dass dann 
irgendwelche proprietären oder zumindest fast nicht re-implementierbaren 
Algorithmen zum Zug kommen.

Siehe meinen naiven Vorschlag, das ist zwar vermutlich etwas bloated aber 
trivial auszuwerten ohne jedliche Dritt-Daten, Chiffre-Listen oder sonstiges 
Zeug wofür man jederzeit Geld verlangen könnte. Selbst ein GPS-Gerät ohne 
jegliche Karte könnte einem sagen wo man nicht hin fahren soll.

Zudem hier ja nur Broadcast zur Verfügung steht, bei einer IP-Verbindung würde 
man naheliegender Weise ein Poll-Verfahren benutzen und nur das runterladen 
was einen interessiert.


 UKW gibts für lau. Bzw. gegen GEZ-Gebühr. Wifi und UMTS gibts nur

 rein, aber ich geh' davon aus, daß es TMC noch sehr, sehr lange Zeit
 geben wird.

Ich teile diese Meinung zu UKW, aber schau dir die Praxis an. Youtube und Co 
sind so ziemlich das schlimmste was man dem Internet antun konnte und trotzdem 
ist es gemacht worden. Und auch die Öffentlich-rechtlichen Anstalten mischen 
kräftig mit indem sie eine Infrastruktur betreiben die das Fernsehschauen via 
IP-Verbindung (und eben nicht Multicast!) ermöglicht. Es gibt heute TV-
Receiver ohne jeglichen Tuner (siehe Telekom) und ähnlich wildes Zeug.

Und UMTS-Verbindungen werden in den allerwenigsten Fällen individuell 
abgerechnet, da setzt sich die Trafficpauschale doch sehr durch. Und in einem 
MB Traffic bekommt man auch viele aufgeblähte Infos unter.

Man muss das nicht gut finden, aber das ist die Entwicklung der Dinge. Nicht 
dass morgen jemand den Schalter umlegt und TMC abschaltet, nein. Aber wenn wir 
jetzt erst anfangen die Infrastruktur für TMC in den Daten zu bauen, ist es 
dann noch von Bedeutung wenn es benutzbar wird?

  naheliegendere Weise machen: Von Koordinate [X] bis Koordinate [Y] auf

TMCpro hat mit behördlichen Vorgängen ja nichts zu tun, das ist ja 
privatwirtschaftlich organisiert.

Auch diese Entwicklung muss man nicht gut finden, aber wenn Behörden banale 
Dinge zu umständlich machen gibt es halt Firmen die das ganze für Geld 
einfacher anbieten. Daher erneut die Frage: Nutzt TMCpro ebenfalls diese 
Technik? Gerüchteweise (habe kein TMCpro-Gerät) soll das ja detailliertere 
Infos bieten.

Das ist doch aber kein Argument. TMC ist keine inhaerente Eigenschaft 
der Strassen und Wege, die wir vor uns sehen. TMC ist eine komplett 
separate Datenbank, die mit OSM erstmal nichts zu tun hat und die sich 
irgendeine dritte Stelle ausgedacht hat. Eine von ziemlich vielen, wie 
ich annehme. Ich bin nicht ueberzeugt, dass diese Datenbank nur nutzbar 
gemacht werden kann, indem sie komplett in OSM importiert und dort 
gepflegt wird.



Und die Logik: Kenn ich nicht, ess ich nicht kann wohl kein Grund
sein, TMC-Daten zu löschen. Da fallen mir auf Anhieb Tags ein, die weder
mit Landkarten, noch Navis etwas zu haben, aber die Krücke muß ich wohl
hier nicht bemühen.


Grundsaetzlich haben die meisten Leute Respekt vor fremden Daten, die 
sie nicht kennen. Trotzdem muss man davon ausgehen, dass 
unverstaendliche und un-ueberpruefbare Daten oefter mal unter die Raeder 
geraten oder verfaelscht werden, auch voellig unabsichtlich. Das, was 
wir im Augenblick haben, ist ganz bestimmt keine tragfaehige Loesung, 
und wenn es, wie jemand anders sagte, ein Pilotschema zur Erfassung 
von TMC in anderen Laendern sein sollte, dann wuerde ich sagen, es ist 
gescheitert.


Aber ich bin sicher, dass es eine Loesung gibt, die es ermoeglicht, die 
TMC-Datenbank z.B. bei der Datenaufbereitung fuers Navi hinzuzuladen, 
statt die TMC-Datenbank komplett in OSM zu stopfen und damit (a) allen 
auf die Nerven zu fallen und (b) Datenfehlern Tuer und Tor zu oeffnen.


Jan-Benedict, habe ich Dich richtig verstanden, dass ein TMC-Code 
praktisch sowas bezeichnet wie eine etwas abstrakte Strassenkreuzung? 
Das haben wir doch z.B. bei Mautpunkten auch - da wird die Maut zwischen 
der Anschlusstelle A und der Anschlusstelle B berechnet, und diese 
Anschlusstellen sind ja bei uns in OSM auch keine Nodes, sondern ein 
Sammelsurium an Nodes, motorway_links, usw.


Wenn ich nun z.B. eine Relation haette, die mir besagt: Die folgenden 15 
Objekte machen zusammen die Anschlusstelle 13 der A8 aus, und das ganze 
Ding hat den TMC-Code soundso - wuerde mir das dann reichen? Oder hat 
die Anschlusstelle 13 verschiedene TMC-Codes, je nachdem, in welche 
Richtung man sie betrachtet?


Und warum TMC:cid_58:tabcd_1:... - muss man davon ausgehen, dass es die 
gleichen LocationCodes auch im Namensraum TMC:cid_59:tabcd_1 oder 
TMC:cid_58:tabcd_2 gibt?


Und nochmal meine Frage von eingangs: Der Mapper hatte zunaechst nur 
LocationCode = 47739 gesetzt. Der Bot hat dann PrevLocationCode = 28866 
ergaenzt. Wo hat der Bot diese Information her - und wenn es einen 
Algorithmus gibt, nach dem der Bot das ermitteln konnte, warum muss es 
dann explizit in der Datenbank stehen? Koennte es sein, dass der 
Algorithmus falsche Ergebnisse liefert und ich das dann von Hand im 
Einzelfall auf PrevLocationCode = 28867 korrigieren muss oder so?


Bye
Frederik
