jamesmikedup...@googlemail.com wrote: Todos: * don't overwrite existing streets. * run the validator, merge street segments Very important. I see that different roads have their own nodes and when two roads connect, there are two nodes in the same spot. In JOSM, use the validator plugin and be sure to have duplicated nodes checked. What I've also seen is a lot of nodes (in ways) that have is_in=kosovo on them. I find that superfluous and delete those tags. I hope nobody objects to that.

Re: [OSM-talk] If you want to help with OSM, and dont know what to do, help out with the Kosovo and Albania project
Before you join streets that end near each other, I would recommend making sure that the streets actually connect to each other. Streets sometimes have barriers, or two disconnected segments, as a means of making sure that a particular street segment is used only within a particular neighborhood, not as a through route. ---Original Email--- Subject :Re: [OSM-talk] If you want to help with OSM,and dont know what to do,help out with the Kosovo and Albania project From :jamesmikedup...@googlemail.com Date :Mon Feb 01 05:16:05 America/Chicago 2010 Todos: * don't overwrite existing streets. * run the validator, merge street segments * join streets that end near each other. * don't upload points that are not connected. -- John F.

I forgot one more import, We are working on importing the house data from a goverment agency, KPAonline.org that has GPS positions and old streetnames. http://groups.google.com/group/free-software-conference/browse_thread/thread/5fbea63ef8efe659 The streetnames in kosovo have changed many times, there are following names: 1. Serbian and Albanian names under tito http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josip_Broz_Tito 2. Serbian and Albanian names under Milosovic http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slobodan_Milo%C5%A1evi%C4%87 3. Serbian and Albanian names under Unmic http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Interim_Administration_Mission_in_Kosovo 4. and finally the names that have been changed since becoming a state http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosovo In Prizren, they have names also in Turkish and English. I have been collecting names here with sources, it will be alot of work. http://kosova.wikia.com/wiki/PrishtinaStreets http://kosova.wikia.com/wiki/PrizrenStreets Not only do we have Serbian and Albanian names, but also at least 3 different spellings for each one. Most roads have no signs. And you have cyrillic forms for the serbian ones. All that lead to utter chaos and most people dont even know the Streetnames at all. Here are some other sources of POIS: www.kta-kosovo.org the privatization agency and the business registry www.arbk.org (we have a scraper for this) I would like to see more tools to manage the storage and association of address data to osm data. We could make a database of all know addresses in Kosovo and then try and find locations for them.
