[Talk-hr] Sobe

2011-06-07 Diskussionsfäden Tomislav Parčina
Kako tagirati sobe? Vidio sam da postoji tag za hotel, hostel, apartman
i bedbreakfast, ali nisam vidio tag za sobe (bedbreakfast bez doručka
:D; sa ili bez zasebnog wc-a).

Svaka preporuka je dobrodošla.

If you want to clarify as deep as possible you might also want to

Frederik, thanks for the reply.

Do we have somewhere a more detailed description of collective 
database relating to OSM situation? May be some lawyers opinion or 
something else? Previously we were looking at the situation in a 
different way and suddenly understood that our positions is not very 
clear, so we would like to clarify the situation as deep as possible.

I believe so. In my opinion, a derived database would result if you 
were to mix other data with OSM data in a way that actually looks at 
the OSM data - for example, if you have an OSM database of streets, 
and then add to that streets from another dataset but only where OSM 
had nothing. That would be a derived database. But if you have two 
datasets that live side-by-side in the same physical database, I 
would say that is a collective database.

Yes, and you can have a happy and thriving project ever after, with your 
two contributors.


OSM is first a community, and second the data. If you are only after the 
data and don't mind losing the community then there are other, easier 
ways; all morally more than questionable but legally defendable.


The license change, however, is not driven by the idea that OSMF is the 
enemy. If OSMF were (the enemy) then we would have a whole lot of 
different problems. The license change is mainly driven by the idea of 
making share-alike work better, i.e. the enemy are those who would want 
to circumvent that.

A lot of thought and consultation went into the proposed licence and
polls were taken to back up the conclusions. Of course, the fact that
the process took years has led to plenty of mappers who can claim not
to have been asked. They've all been asked now, though, and the
results speak for themselves.

 - get everyone to sign up to new contributor terms allowing that licence

Indeed. Asking people seems like an excellent way to address your no
vote concern.


 - block anyone who says no from contributing

 and presto! you have your 2/3 majority of active contributors.

Such an approach could possibly work, albeit at the cost of losing the
community if the community held the process to be unfair. The fact is,
though, that people who said no have not yet been blocked from
contributing and the 2/3 majority has already been reached. The wrong
kind of majority, perhaps?

I'm reminded of an argument I was drawn into at the Munich Oktoberfest
last year. Smoking is now banned indoors in Bavaria, and one chap, who
claimed to be a lawyer, was intent on having a smoke regardless. He
considered the law undemocratic. It had been brought in by a
referendum forced on the government by a citizen's petition. The
referendum was carried. This guy reasoned that lots of smokers
abstained from voting because the result was a foregone conclusion,
therefore a non-democratic result.

How shall we define democracy in OSM? I'm heavily drawn to a model
where the course of action endorsed by 99% of those voting can be
deemed legitimate.

Reality check... So to steal all our precious data and kick the

have to shut down people contributing and joining OSM for 9 MONTHS
before they could run such a rigged system. The sysadmin team and

You're right, it is a fanciful and unrealistic example, at least from the point

to get a static copy of the map under any terms wanted.

deeply about the state and future of OSM, and they spend a great deal

you're absolutely right. no matter what the license we have, or the
terms that are offered to contributors, there will always be people
and companies using the data without complying with the license, or
contributors (possibly companies) uploading data which can't be safely
used as part of OSM. i do believe that the new license and contributor
terms better define what is acceptable, and that if/when it becomes
necessary to take action in the future, we'll be in a better place.

My understanding is that Creative Commons have affirmed what has demonstrably

OSM is doing now.

They noted that it would not magically extend copyright to things not covered

used for data.

They are going to look at improving use of the licences for data in the
next revision.

BY-SA can indeed be used for data(base) copyright to the extent that you
can claim copyright on data(bases).

And that's the problem. Copyright in this area is uneven
internationally, irregular even within jurisdictions like the US, and
not the only restriction on the use of data(bases).

 They noted that it would not magically extend copyright to things not covered
 by copyright. 

Such as data(bases), depending on where you live and which cases you
look at.

 That is quite true, but it does not mean that map data is not
 covered by copyright.

Nor does it mean that it is, for the reasons I have given.

Yes, I do. And the numbers suggest that most people agree with me.

 This is besides the fact that the question being asked is not the

It is up to those asking the question to determine what question they
would like to have answered. In this case, the people asking for a
mandate to change the licence/copyright terms of the database we host

a right and duty to consider these issues and the mandate they seek
will not prevent any of us from making use of today's data set in any
way we were already permitted to do so.

 And besides the fact that I haven't been allowed to vote.

In the old days they might have been plucking chickens and boiling up
the tar. These days antisocial behaviour just gets you banned.

 There was no vote.

Over 32000 mappers have agreed to a proposal. 387 have disagreed. If
you choose not to consider this a vote, fair enough, but any longtime

 And what's the best, most accurate thing one can say under the ODbL/DbCL?

 Some contributors may have intellectual property rights over some
 aspects of their contribution in some places and some of those rights
 might be copyright and/or database rights.  The ODbL might apply to
 some of that.  The DbCL might apply to some of it.  Additionally, some
 places might recognize clickwrap license agreements, which might mean
 that the ODbL might cover some aspects of some contributions of some
 contributors.


That's a fair summary. It probably doesn't even need the qualification
relative to clickwrap licence agreements. Starting the last sentence
at The ODbL...

The difference is - and I am not taking a position for or against -
that more is caught by the ODbL worldwide than is caught by CC and, in
particular, in the European Union and other places with the sui
generis database right. That means that, where I am sitting ODbL may
make a much bigger difference than it might do elsewhere.

I say may because its just possible that UK database copyright
with a low standard of originality survived the directive, which would
make quite a difference. The CJEU has been asked.

Said Matt Amos: very probably that wasn't the official creative commons

Nope, wasn't an official line. It was a point about how easy it is to 
extract and republish data if you want do do so, because of the inexact 
reaches of copyright, database rights, and contract. The point was to be 
provocative, not to make a threat.


I'm not ever going to republish a copy of the OSM data dump, because 
that would be an asshole maneuver (which, as an American, is I believe 
the King's English phrasing). But someone who didn't care about being an 
asshole could do so, and the remedies are a lot less clear than they are 
in software and culture. If the asshole isn't in the EU, and didn't get 
a copy under contract, what do you do? That was my point - to make 
people think about that.


CC also isn't Science Commons. We got absorbed last year by CC, and CC's 
a lot more about providing choices, not about being normative. Our job 
at SC was to be normative, to push for more open uses of the tools 
inside the CC suite of tools. That's why we didn't *recommend* the use 
of the licenses on data in the sciences, and I was kind of naive in 
jumping over into your community and yelling about those terms here.


I apologize for that. This isn't a science community. It's not publicly 
funded. And I'm not part of it. I shouldn't have gotten onto the list 
and ranted without spending time getting to know the community. Indeed, 
i've done a little mapping since then even.


So I backed out, and let you guys hash it out, and I worked out my 
differences with OKF via the Panton Principles 
(http://pantonprinciples.org)- public science data should be in the 
public domain - while I let CC take over the conversation about data 
licensing generally.


I remain an advocate for the public domain for data, and a skeptic as to 
the ability to magically port the tools of free culture and free 
software to free data. But I'm a lot less stressed about it than I used 
to be. Part of that is that the capacity to create data is so great - 
data that doesn't get licensed well won't get well used, whatever the 
tools chosen - and part of that is the result of talking to a lot more 
people who are in open data outside the sciences.


Keep on posting old text that I cited, as I won't run from my own words. 
We all own what we say on lists. As I said, I shouldn't have gotten on 
here and posted so rashly, but it is what it is.


But also keep watching the CC site and blog for information, because CC 
is the only one that speaks for CC. Science Commons ain't the voice of 
CC for data, and never was, and it's our collective fault in both parts 
of the organization that we allowed that to happen (as Mike Linksvayer 
pointed out in a post earlier this year at 
http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/26283).

Yes, I'm sure that there will be problem areas. An area with little or

will be pronounced if the single person who mapped something chooses to

[OSM-legal-talk] Private negotiations

2011-06-07 Diskussionsfäden Richard Fairhurst
I'm led to believe that people have been issuing LWG with private lists of 
demands that they want met before they will consent to ODbL+CT.

Could I ask that said people have the courtesy to post their demands here, too? 
It would be a shame if the suspicion arose that the process is being swayed by 
closed demands. LWG does of course publish minutes, as is right and proper, but

I understand that Creative Commons declined to participate in drafting
ODbL when invited.  Why is that?  Why the sudden interest in data now,
after having declined the opportunity earlier?


I don't speak for CC here, I speak for SC, which was far less integrated 
into CC than you might have imagined. It's why we eliminated the 
division and moved west. But we had our own Board, our own lawyers, our 
own staff, and we lived three time zones away from CC. And we didn't do 
a great job of being integrated.


As for SC, we were involved in the first go round of what became ODBL. 
We were able to convince all involved to write a public domain tool 
instead (PDDL) and then the SC protocol on data came out around the same 
time. CC also decided as a result, in part from what integration we did 
have between science and headquarters, to rebuild its public domain 
dedication as two tools - one a legal waiver (CC0) and one as a public 
domain mark.


Here's some background that I am at liberty to share. I wasn't the only 
one working in and around here, so I am only going to talk about the 
stuff I was involved in.


First, there were differences in the European versions of the licenses 
that integrated database rights from other jurisdictions. After lengthy 
conversations in 2007 everyone agreed to turn those into waivers of the 
DB rights, so that if you use a jurisdiction specific EU 3.0 license, it 
should waive the DB rights. After that process, which was formally 
agreed to in 2007 at the Dubrovnik iSummit, we had to implement. That 
ate up a lot of what bandwidth we had for data rights.


Second, in late 2007, a key SC employee who would have been essential to 
any work on any ODBL became gravely ill and was basically out of action 
for six months. When that employee was finally back, we were way behind 
on day to day work and didn't have a ton of bandwidth for projects that 
weren't funded, like our biological materials transfer and patent 
licensing projects.


Third, after coming out with a strong statement against licensing data 
in the sciences, because our goal was interoperability, it would have 
been pretty hypocritical to then engage when people hired Jordan to 
start working on the revisions that became the ODBL (I believe that was 
actually OSM). I continue to think that the addition of a contract 
breaks interoperability - it certainly did so in the case of some core 
genomic databases - and that the creation and promotion of such a tool 
poses real risks in the sciences. I would rather work on getting OKF to 
discourage its use in the sciences, which is what Panton was all about 
for me. Panton basically says don't use licenses on publicly funded 
science data, including ODBL - or BY-SA.


So it's not like we have a sudden interest in data. CC's had an 
interest from day 1, from MusicBrains to Freebase to Encyclopedia of 
Life. SC's had an interest from day 1. It's just that to this community 
in particular we managed to conflate those interests.


It wasn't like we sat around and said hey, let's figure out ways not to 
work with the ODBL folks. We had very little time, lots of projects, not 
a lot of staff, and a lot of choices to make. We chose to put our time 
and effort at Science Commons elsewhere, and we weren't very well 
integrated with CC at that point either.


When I was in a previous job, I heard an aphorism that stuck with me. 
Never assume malice when you can assume conference calls. That about 
sums it up.

The process is pretty simple really:

- decide what licence you want without bothering to hold a vote

- get everyone to sign up to new contributor terms allowing that licence


Why do you and some others think that the majority of the contributors are 
dumb sheeps who will sign everything?


1)  Because I've seen postings to various OSM emailing lists along the lines 
of:


(i) I trust OSM to get it right and so I just agreed to the CT;s
(ii) I don't like the CT's but I want my data preserved in OSM so I felt I 
had to agree to the CT;s
(iii) I'm not interested in legalities I just want to get mapping, so I 
agreed to the CT's;


2) Because there is very definite evidence that even though Nearmap derived 
data is not compatible with the CT's, many mappers who have used Neapmap in 
the past have agreed to the CT's


So, Andreas what evidence do you have, that the majority of those who have 
agreed to the CT's, have given along a thoughtful consideration of all the 
issues involved, and having done so have come to a reasoned decision on 
whether or not they can agree to the CT's?

OTOH if everyone agrees to a new CT it can't be that bad, can it?

Essentially what I'm looking for is the ability to produce a Thomas-Guide

As mentioned before it would be ideal if this could be automated so that all

 But I've not really gotten past proof of concept. One usecase is making a

 It can be done but I've found that hacking around in MapOsMatic requires a
 lot of patience and pretty high python/cairo skill level.


 http://www.safety-maps.org/ was a recent project to do something similar.

[OSM-talk] Airspace Co.

2011-06-07 Diskussionsfäden Frederik Ramm

Hi,

   we have this recurring topic in various parts of OSM - airspace 
mapping.


I'm strictly against it.

(For those not familiar with airspace, here's an example of a VFR 
airspace map: 
http://www.rc-network.de/magazin/artikel_02/art_02-0001/ICAO-Karte-Ausschnitt-Bild2.jpg)


My arguments against airspace mapping are:

1. Imports of un-observable things that are defined by other people 
should be kept to an absolute minimum in OSM. Airspace definitions 
change regularly and the only way to have them in OSM is to import them 
again and again.


2. Airspace (since it only rarely has any connection to features on the 
ground) is perfectly suited for an overlay; very little would be gained 
by having it in OSM rather than in a parallel system maintained by a 
flying enthusiast.


3. For the same reason, airspace boundaries cut right across the 
country, through cities, and so on, and provide an unnecessary 
distraction to mappers.


4. 99% of Airspace is of almost no significance to non-pilots. Arguments 
like one would like to know if the house one intends to buy is within 
some kind of airspace are fantasy.


5. Pilots would not use a crowdsourced airspace map; they are legally 
required to have a current official map anyway when they fly somewhere. 
It seems to me that people who would like to have airspace in OSM are 
mostly flight simulator aficionados, and while I find that an 
interesting pastime, one has to be honest about it: Flight simulators 
are computer games.


6. The usual form in which airspace is published is on printed, 
copyrighted maps; it is difficult, if not impossible, to actually get 
your hands on airspace descriptions that are official and not copyright 
encumbered.


There was limited discussion here recently:

http://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/3684/mapping-for-aviation

although this question was a little broader, concerning not only 
airspace but also other aviation-related items such as beacons. My 
position in that discussion was: If a feature is observable on the 
ground and doubles as an aviation reporting point - no problem, tag it. 
But if something is defined just by its coordinates or a mark on an 
airspace map - don't.


The beast rears its head in this proposed feature from 2009

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Airspace

and in its German counterpart,

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/DE:Luftraum

and on

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Aeroways

the topic is briefly referenced. Also there was discussion about 
aviation tracks on help.osm last year:


http://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/297/does-it-make-sense-to-upload-aviation-tracks-to-osm

There are currently 21 airspace objects in OSM.

I would like to end this discussion once and for all, or at least for 
the near future, and create a wiki page named Aviation, to which I 
would link from the Aeroways page and from Airspace, and I would 
also close the Proposed Feature with a link to that page.


On the Aviation page, I would write up the reasons against airspace 
mapping, basically as given above and on the mapping-for-aviation help 
page, concluding that mapping for aviation is discouraged


On that page I would also suggest that someone who is reasonably 
interested should set up a rails port instance of their own, complete 
with a rendering chain to generate half-transparent tiles that can be 
overlaid over a standard map. And I would even offer them my help in 
doing that.



But before I do all that, I would like to hear from the community at 
large - you - whether you share my view. Do you agree that airspace 
should be elsewhere but not in OSM? Or do you think that airspace should 
have a place in OSM after all?


Bye
Frederik

I agree to strongly discourage airspace tagging.

Its nice that OSM has this open tagging structure and all. But at some point we
have to draw the line, otherwise OSM will devolve into a total mess that nobody
can understand and handle any more.

I would like OSM to be open do all these things, but with the current data
structure and tools we simply have to limit ourselves. I'd love to have a more
powerful data structure in OSM with some kind of layering and better tools to
handle the amount of data. But currently we don't have that and I don't see
it appearing anytime soon. So I think its better to voluntarily limit OSM
a little bit.

I don't know where the line is, between what we, as a community want, and
what we don't want. We will have to discuss that again and again. But I am
pretty sure that airspaces are very far on the other side of that line.

Hi,

After the recent flood in Haut-Richelieu, Québec, and the request to use
MapOSMatic in this context, it happens that I met Thomas, one of the
developers of MapOSMatic.

When I had asked about this functionality of map booklet, he had told me
that they had started working on this (or on features that would make
this easier, I don't remember exactly) during the Hackfest last August.

Maybe coordinating efforts on this would be the best way to move forward?


By the way, he also told me that he had sent an email reply, that
apparently was moderated on lists he is not a member of, and that I have
not seen. He explained that there was still a lag in the database
updates (after the MapOSMatic database had been down).
About the mapping of a specific area defined by a relation (not
necessarily a city), it might be not be too far from what is done with
administrative boundary ways, but would require a mean to transmit or
specify the desired area.


Anyway Samuel, I invite you to have a look at http://www.maposmatic.org
if you have not already (there seems to be a problem at the moment with
a job over Berlin, hopefully not for long).

Best regards,

IMHO this is already the case. The import of 3dshapes in the 
Netherlands, useful as it is, does cause a lot of clutter if you only 
want to edit roads.
In the same way airspace information will clutter the editor and will 
be annoying if you're not editing that. If on top of that, airspace 
information is not something you want in the map (because it apparently 
is not useful for people using such data), then it causes harm.

That is a good point.  I experience the same thing with underground railways and
other miscellany.  The proliferation of extra nodes and ways makes editing
difficult.

However, I would suggest that this is not a particularly hard problem to solve;
the editor can hide all nodes with a certain tag or put them in a different
layer.  Currently, available editors don't do that.  The question is whether to
forbid tagging airspace (or water pipes, or contour lines, or whatever) for the
time being until editor support is available for keeping the work separate - or
whether to let it be for now and wait for editors to catch up in due course.

Telling other people to stop mapping something which they are interested in 
needs
a very good reason and a high burden of proof.  And while airspace does seem a
bit pointless to you and me, no doubt the people mapping it have good reasons.

Why only those two options? Why not just decide that we're not

Contour lines certainly are, like airspace, something that we're always

   I've not done much with JOSM filters, even when working with messy 
landuse or administrative boundaries.  This is because they often share 
nodes with a road (or whatever) that I need to edit.   Hiding the 
underlying object can easily result in a self-crossing polygon.   So 
actually, that's an argument for having such things to a separate data

 I'm strictly against it.

I'm not 100% for it, and my feeling when reading this mail was that
you are too categorically against this type of mapping. I will first
comment on you action plan that you hid on the bottom:


 I would like to end this discussion once and for all, or at least for the
 near future, and create a wiki page named Aviation, to which I would link
 from the Aeroways page and from Airspace, and I would also close the
 Proposed Feature with a link to that page.

Yes, but can I add docs about it on Key:airpace=*


 On the Aviation page, I would write up the reasons against airspace
 mapping, basically as given above and on the mapping-for-aviation help
 page, concluding that mapping for aviation is discouraged

Yes, but I think the most important question is about the copyright
and the discouragement of too large and unhandleable imports. (neither
which seems to be a problem atm.)


 On that page I would also suggest that someone who is reasonably interested
 should set up a rails port instance of their own, complete with a rendering
 chain to generate half-transparent tiles that can be overlaid over a
 standard map. And I would even offer them my help in doing that.

Considering how vital the OSM sysadmin team is I'm sure that is going
to be a bit of a problem.. ;-) If it is a standard procedure that the
OSM-F will host other free geographic data on their servers then sure
this is a good idea.




Here is what I think:

First of all, years ago I was dead set against cluttering OSM data[1],
but things change. Are you sure you guys are argumenting for OSM
instead of just wanting to keep your data unecessarily clean,
considering that Openstreetmap strives to provide free geographic
data.

The only valid arguments against would be as someone said, I think it
ws JRA, the *import* of Corine Landcoverage and other huge easily
accesible datasets into Openstreetmap database is troublesome.


 1. Imports of un-observable things that are defined by other people should
 be kept to an absolute minimum in OSM. [paraphrase]

But let say 0.1% of them are observable can I map that? Adding flight
paths for my local airport most certainly would be a usefull thing to
have, since it really is very noticeable that planes fly by every
~15min every morning and evening. That seems to be a very valid type
of free geographic data.

And I thought the idea about crowdsourcing was good enough.


 2. Airspace data should be in a  parallel system maintained by a flying
 enthusiast.[paraphrase]

To me that just seems like a very subtle way to blow people off,


 3. Airspace boundaries cut right across the country, and clutters [paraphrase]

Clutter in the database is also very subjective, there are several
things that clutter the DB..

e.g.
* 3dShapes
* bus routes
* turn restriction
* landuse
* buildings
* abutters=residential
* boundaries

But since Openstreetmap strives to provide free geographic data, not
specifically a map, they are included. Hence it is already a
storehouse for stuff with coordinated that change a lot by external
parties..

It really is a pain to edit OSM when all these cluttering features are
there on the map. I don't see a problem with adding another layer of
clutter just because you guys are used to it doesn't mean it's easy.


 4. 99% of Airspace is of almost no significance to non-pilots.  [paraphrase]

But then that 1% (or 0.1%)is what is causing the concern, it's that
0.1% that actually is mappable.


 5. Pilots would not use a crowdsourced airspace map;[paraphrase]

Bad argument, same goes for many things  in OSM.


 6.  airspace is published is on printed, copyrighted  maps [paraphrase]

Big problem.


[1] I thought adding abutters=residential was cluttering the data

I agree with all the rest. I would say here that it might be ok to
have *some* limited airspace (or more specifically, flight path)
objects that have broader relevance. It is not unknown, to mark flight
paths near airports on street maps (street-directory.com.au does this
- sorry direct links don't seem to work well).

The best long term solution to this, and other problems, would be to
have better facilities for creating and integrating overlays. Just
like Wikipedia solved some of its scoping problems by telling people
to stick it all on Wikia, it would be easier if we had another
solution: don't put airspaces in OSM, put it in storage solution
and then overlay it with overlay solution.

 Samuel,
 It seems to me like rendering the actual pages would be easier (than
 actually rendering a large image, then chopping). This should also give
 better results because the scales of things like text and lines would look
 better.
 So, the way I would approach this would be to determine the size and
 extents of each map for each page (ideally automatically). Then render each
 one with Mapnik. So, your ingredients would be a width and height in pixels,
 and bounding box for each page. Then write a python script to loop over
 every page and render a map using an OSM stylesheet.
 If you don't have python scripts skills then we can think of alternatives,
 but that would be my first recommendation. Mike Migurski, also author of
 safety maps, has done this with Mapnik for printed bike maps of SF, so he
 could likely advise.

 Well that sounds awesome.

 You might try downloading an extract of OSM data for that area.  You
 should be able to find an extract that deals with California, or the
 US West.  That way you don't have to deal with an entire planet full
 of data.  Then use Mapnik or one of the other rendering tools to
 generate your map.  You'll likely want to adjust the style sheet to
 make it just right for emergency awareness.

 There is a company in SF area experienced in printing high resolution
 maps from OSM data. Perhaps they'll do it for you for free since it is
 such a worthy project?

Right, so remedies may vary. Injunctions are available for breach of

  As mentioned before it would be ideal if this could be automated so that
 all it would need is a city and it would produce the pages. Anybody
 interested in helping create such a system?

 Samuel,

  It seems to me like rendering the actual pages would be easier (than
 actually rendering a large image, then chopping). This should also give
 better results because the scales of things like text and lines would look
 better.

  So, the way I would approach this would be to determine the size and
 extents of each map for each page (ideally automatically). Then render each
 one with Mapnik. So, your ingredients would be a width and height in pixels,
 and bounding box for each page. Then write a python script to loop over
 every page and render a map using an OSM stylesheet.

  If you don't have python scripts skills then we can think of
 alternatives, but that would be my first recommendation. Mike Migurski, also
 author of safety maps, has done this with Mapnik for printed bike maps of
 SF, so he could likely advise.

  Folks, what did we have in place to produce map books?


  Making mapbooks easier to script, via python, with Mapnik has long been
 a goal of mine.

  But I've not really gotten past proof of concept. One usecase is making
 a map of every feature in a dataset that meets some criteria. I wrote a
 script a while ago that demonstrates how to do that with mapnik by querying
 all countries over a given population and them rendering a map for each,
 while painting a special outline over their border. Code is here:
 http://mapnik-utils.googlecode.com/svn/example_code/map_sequences/ and an
 animated gif to demonstrate what is done is here:

  http://dbsgeo.com/tmp/mapnik_animated.gif

   Can Mapsomatic easily be modified for different formats/scales?


  It can be done but I've found that hacking around in MapOsMatic requires
 a lot of patience and pretty high python/cairo skill level.


 http://www.safety-maps.org/ was a recent project to do something similar.
 I know the developers would be interested to hear more ideas how to make it
 useful.


  safety-maps are awesome.

It should go on http://openairspace.org, which would be edited using
JOSM, with mapnik tiles as a background layer. The only real
disadvantage is that there would be no database-level connection
between the end of the runway and the beginning of the airspace.

I wonder ... what about tagging the node at the end of the runway in
OSM with a pointer to the node number on OAS.org?  And vice-versa. It
would be straightforward to do a merge of the two databases if/when
you needed to treat them as one. Or you could just follow them as if
they were a symlink. You could do the same thing with subway lines and
pipelines.

But there I go, reinventing layers. Maybe we finally need them?

Allereerst.Don't shoot the messenger...

Hij (of zij?) heeft een de ref's op verbindingsbogen nu aangepast; de 
ref=* is de snelweg waar de verbinding naartoe leidt. Persoonlijk vind 
ik dit praktisch omdat de manier waarop het doorkomt in kaarten op de 
Garmin overeenkomt met de borden boven de weg. Dit is wel in strijd met 
de officiele rijbaanaanduidingen op de hectometerpaaltjes (m.a.w. wat 
het nummer van de weg feitelijk IS, naar de mening van de wegbeheerder). 
Ik heb in de UK rijbanen gezien die getagd waren met carriageway_ref=A 
etc. Dit zouden we in NL ook kunnen gaan gebruiken, mocht men behoeft 
hebben aan het taggen van de officiele rijbaanbenamingen.


T.a.v. motorway_link op parallelbanen met doorgaande functie 
(bijvoorbeeld op de A2 langs Utrecht) heeft hij/zij de praktijk 
omgedraaid. Vroeger stond in de wiki dat parallelbanen (niet zijnde op- 
en afritten en verbindingsbogen) ook gewoon motorway waren. Voortaan 
zijn dat dus motorway_links. Zie:

Hallo Welt,

bei uns am unteren Niederrhein, wo Vater Rhein Deutschland verlässt, starten
wir einen Workshop zum Thema Einsteigen in die OpenStreetMap. Wir haben
uns als enge Gruppe Anfang des letzten Jahres zusammengefunden, es wurden
GPS-Geräte gesponsert und im engen Kontakt zum Stadtmarketing Kleve
gearbeitet.

Jetzt, zum schönen Wetter, starten wir einen zweiten Workshop. Teilnehmen
kann jeder, aber eine kurze Hallo-Mail wird gewünscht (am besten an mich
oder an die Liste *openstreetmap_kleverl...@googlegroups.com*).

Ziel soll es sein, erstmal mit dem GPS zurechtzukommen und anschließend mit
einfachem Editieren zu beginnen. Später sollen auch weitere Themen angefasst
werden, dazu suchen wir auch gerne Gastreferenten.

Die Termine sind bis jetzt festgelegt auf:
21. Juni | 20:00 Uhr | Mit dem GPS durch die Schwanenstadt » Vor dem
Kolpinghaus - http://osm.org/go/0GFmsfCFs--
05. Juli | 20:00 Uhr | Editieren von einfachen Tracks » Ort wird
nachgereicht ;)

Ich würde mich freuen, den einen oder anderen Neuling, Erfahrenen oder
Profi kennen zulernen. Auch Kritiken zum Programm sind immer gut und helfen
bei der Verbesserung.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Elmar Burke

Re: [Talk-de] OSM für Feuerwehr

2011-06-07 Diskussionsfäden Elmar Burke
Hallo Welt,

nach einem Jahr Stillschweigen im Bereich Feuerwehr möchte ich das Thema
nochmal auffrischen, und zwar aus aktuellem Anlass.
Kurz zu mir: Ich studiere E-Government und bin Feuerwehrmann, eine Kombi die
Quasi nach einer VERNÜNFTIGEN Lösung zum finden von Hydranten schreit. Zwar
haben wir Karten vom Wasserversorger, diese sind aber schon bei Drucklegung
veraltet und enden an der Kommunengrenze. Und Papier ist geduldig, die
Übersicht ist schwer, in Eile quais unmöglich.
Wir haben bei uns in der Löschgruppe im Mai des vergangen Jahres begonnen,
alle Hydranten manuell zu erfassen, Änderungen zu pflegen und und und...
http://openfiremap.org/?zoom=15lat=51.76313lon=6.16315layers=BTTT (nebenbei
Danke an Thomas [User:T-i] für die OpenFireMap ;) ).

Zum einen habe ich einen Prototypen gebaut, als Mobilversion, jedoch noch
ohne anzeige von Hydranten. Abrufbar hier:
http://hydrantenkarte.bplaced.net/. Wir haben uns dabei gedacht, dass
Tablets mit GUTEM GPS-Chip als Hardware eingesetzt werden soll, aber noch
kein Gerät gefunden, das einen guten Chip hat :(
Tablets deshalb, weil auch andere Anwedungen drauf laufen können
(UN-Nummern, Rettungskarte, usw.).

Eine Sache habe ich allerdings noch. Gerne würde ich das bei uns an der
Hochschule voranbringen und als Forschungsprojekt etablieren. Doch suchen
wir da noch ein Unternehmen - und da sich hier viele innovative Unternehmen
tummeln frage ich mal offen in die Runde. Es gibt Förderungen!

 Als Alternative und Lösung auch für andere Fälle könnte man vielleicht
 überlegen, ob man einen Node nicht mit absoluter, sondern mit relativer

 Verschiebe ich eine Straße um ein paar Meter, weil ich das inzwischen
 besser
 messen kann als früher,  müssen alle Bushaltestellen, Müllcontainer, ...
 manuell verschoben werden. Die Info, dass der Hydrant oder weiß ich was 8m
 von
 der Ecke A/B-Straße und 6m aus der Achse liegt, beschreibt seine Lage
 sowieso
 besser und kann benutzt werden, um die neue Position automatisch zu
 berechnen.

 Vielleicht ist er dann immer noch absolut um 4m verkehrt, aber der
 Feuerwehrhäuptling wird seinen Wasserspender kaum nach absoluten UTM-
 Koordinaten suchen, sondern in der Regel vor Hausnummer xy.

 Wir hätten dann eine innere Genauigkeit, die wir mit unseren Methoden
 wesentlich genauer hinkriegen als die absolute, und die für den Benutzer
 draußen genau das ist, was er braucht.

Wenn das der Fall sein sollte, würde ich das doch zu überdenken geben.
Gerade die Möglichkeit, Karten eben auch als Overlay rendern zu können, 
ist eine zusätzliche Möglichkeit, die man anhand von OSM demonstrieren kann.

Hallo,

mit TileStache und Polymaps gibt es einen Ansatz zum Browser-basierten 
Rendering von GeoJSON Tiles. mapsforge für Android ist ein Projekt der 
FU Berlin, hat wohl ein in Tiles unterteiltes Dateiformat [1] und 
bestimmt schon einige damit verbundene Fragestellungen bezüglich 
Rendering und Routing gelöst. Links hierzu und weitere im Forum Thread 
Rendering auf dem Clientrechner [2].


Ich finde das ein sehr spannendes Thema. Meine Idealvorstellung wäre ein 
Service, der vollständige Vektordaten live für eine Slippy Map 
ausliefert, die im Client on-the-fly gerendert werden, und alles was man 
zum Rendern einer eigenen Karte benötigt, wäre ein CSS-basiertes 
Stylesheet wie z.B. Cascadenik oder Carto. Das würde auch interaktive 
Karten ermöglichen, z.B. Anzeige aller Tags eines Objekts oder das 
Ein-/Ausblenden einzelner Elemente wie z.B. Grenzen, Stromleitungen oder 
POIs.

Verschiebe ich eine Straße um ein paar Meter, weil ich das inzwischen besser

Vielleicht ist er dann immer noch absolut um 4m verkehrt, aber der

Wir hätten dann eine innere Genauigkeit, die wir mit unseren Methoden

Du vergisst dabei dass Strassen nicht nur in OSM sondern auch in der

Allerdings klang das nach plattem Land, 100km gerade Landstraße

Man könnte da ganz unbürokratisch, wenn die Schilder fehlen,
einfach mal einen Holzpfosten in der Nähe einschlagen und dann
knippsen? Ach nee ist ja Deutschland.
Aber ein Baum im Bild, Schuppen, Hausecke, Leitplanke,... reicht
schon zur Orientierung. Beim knipsen Stock ins Bild halten
wie die Vermesser, oder einfach Typ der auf die Stelle zeigt.
Da schreibe man kurzen Text und gebe das denen mit die die
Bilder machen damit die wissen worauf es ankommt.


Dazu nimmt man 2x im Jahr die Lehrlinge, freiwillige FW oder so.
Lässt die nach der OSM Karte eine Wanderung machen, schönes Wetter
aussuchen, Bier im Rucksack (alkfrei) Spaten in der Hand. Dann
die Deckel freimachen, neu Rot anstreichen, im Tablett markieren
wenn ein Schild neu aufgestellt werden muß (kann man auch mit
osm machen).

Am Tagesende treffen sich die Teams beim vorgeheizten Grill
und vorgekühltem Bier.
Da sollte man nach paar Tagen, langem WE, oder so eine Gegend
doch so halbwegs in Ordnung gebracht haben, mit etwas Spaß.


Ein enthusiastischer Mapper kann dann auch noch die anderen
Dinge auf der Tour notieren, aber man nerve die anderen nicht
damit Hausnummern zu erfassen.



Es werden die Daten doch hoffentlich auch offline auf den

Ich glaube, Du hast da eine etwas verkorkste Perspektive. Du scheinst 
anzunehmen, dass alles, was jemand vom Luftbild abmalt, automatisch 
hochgenau und detailliert ist. Ich wage mal die Behauptung: Der 
Fehler, in Metern, den ich einbaue, wenn ich den Strassen-Way als 
Begrenzung meines Waldes nehme, ist im Durchschnitt geringer als der 
Fehler, den ich einbaue, wenn ich das (Bing-)Luftbild nicht vorher 
ordentlich an GPS-Tracks justiere.


Ja, das wird oft behauptet, aber je nach Art des weiteren 
Verfeinerns, dass

man im Sinn hat, kann es eben auch genau andersrum sein.


wenn man die Straßen zusätzlich als Flächen eintragen will, ist die
Lage sicher eindeutig.


Das ist eine ganz andere Baustelle.


Aus meiner Sicht wird das in Städten auf jeden
Fall kommen, weil man anders ein sauberes Rendering, das auch
Informationen zur realen Form transportiert, nicht erhalten kann.


Informationen zur realen Form zu transportieren, ist unter Umstaenden 
aber etwas anderes als sauberes Rendering. Und sauberes Rendering 
bekommt man ganz bestimmt auch ohne Strassen als Flaechen hin. Aber 
das ist, wie gesagt, wieder eine andere Geschichte.


Eine Karte ist kein Luftbild. Auch eine sehr gute Karte nicht.


da der Wald nichts mit der Straße zu tun hat, muss ich den auch nicht
verfeinern, wenn ich an der Straße schraube.


Andere muessen das vielleicht schon (wenn, wie oben geschildert, die 
verfeinerte Strasse sonst zuweilen den Wald ueberschneidet, was ja 
eher selten ist.)



Klar, ein Zaun der
an der Straße langläuft müsste evtl. verfeinert werden


Wenn wir es mit einem Zaun zu tun haben, dann hoert das natuerlich 
auf, dass man die Strasse als Waldrand benutzen kann. Aber dann haben 
wir das gleiche Ding mit dem Zaun; man koennte dann einfach den Zaun 
als Waldrand benutzen, oder man koennte argumentieren, dies sei 
ungenau und der Zaun stehe ja ausserhalb des Waldes..


Ja, das behauptest Du immer wieder, aber das ist halt eine 
Beurteilung, die

Du fuer Dich treffen kannst, aber nicht fuer andere Mapper; die werden
eventuell davon eben nicht gebremst, sondern denen geht die Arbeit 
schneller

von der Hand.


sicher gehen einem manche Bearbeitungen schneller von der Hand, wenn
man sie ungenau macht.


Du behauptest immer wieder, dass es ungenauer sei, den Strassen-Way 
als Waldrand zu verwenden, aber das ist eine unzulaessige 
Verallgemeinerung. Oder sagen wir: Es ist vielleicht genauer, aber 
nicht richtiger - genauso wie eine Loesung mit fuenf Nachkommastellen 
in der Matheklausur genauer ist, aber nicht richtiger.


Strassen werden potentiell genauer erfasst als Waldränder. Die Wälder 
haben in den Daten für die meisten einen ehr dekorativen Charakter während

die Strassen- und Wegedaten intensiv genutzt werden.
Wenn Du schon mit Deiner Matheklausur kommst  - die Grundlagen des 
technischen Zeichen dass man ein genaues Mass nicht mit einem ungenauen 
Mass verkettet wenn man ein genaues Ergebniss haben möchte sind Dir bekannt?
Wer die Strasse bearbeiten möchte soll die Strasse bearbeiten können und 
wer die Waldgrenze bearbeiten möchte eben die Waldgrenze. Er sollte 
nicht genötigt werden beides anfassen zu müssen was er dann im 
Zweifelsfalls lassen wird - keine Verbesserung der Daten.

Das ist jetzt mein allerletztes Statement zu diesem Thema, weil ich mich 
zu wiederholen beginne.


Bitte lies das folgende aufmerksam durch, ich habe es Martin schon 
geschrieben, aber Du hast das offenbar nicht gelesen.


Es ist eine Situation denkbar, in der die Strasse und der Waldrand als 
separate Linien nebeneinander gemappt sind, beide relativ grob, und in 
der eine Verfeinerung der Strasse dann dazu fuehrt, dass die Strasse den 
- immer noch grob gezeichneten - Wald stueckweise ueberlappt.


Der Mapper waere hier also genoetigt, um der Topologie Rechnung zu 
tragen, den Wald ebenfalls zu verfeinern; waere hingegen die Strasse 
zugleich der Waldrand, bliebe im diese Mehrarbeit erspart.


Das, was Du schreibst, kann also je nach Situation mal als Argument fuer 
die eine und mal als Argument fuer die andere Art zu mappen dienen.


Keine von beiden Arten ist besser; es kommt auf die Gesamtsituation und 
auf den Mapper und auf die Umstaende an. Alles andere ist eine 
unzulaessige Vereinfachung und der Versuch, anderen aufzudiktieren, wie 
sie ihre Arbeit machen sollen.

hi Jan,



...
kann mir einer sagen wie man so ein Zwischending zwischen landuse=forest
und natural=scrub taggen würde??

Konkret geht es um eine Fläche auf dem Darß (Zingst) im Bereich
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=54.43426lon=12.7108zoom=17
sieht für mich nach einem Grünland (Brach- bzw. Ruderalfläche o. ggf. 
junges Gebüsch) - mit ein paar Bauminseln aus.


Ich sehe das so: Gebüsche sind etwa 3(-5)m hoch und mind. 5m breit und 
stehen solo, ohne Wald, sonst sind sie Waldrand, also Wald.


Charakteristisch ist, das Wald oder Gebüsch eine eigenes Klima bilden 
kann, sprich: der Wind da nicht durchpfeifen kann, daher eine 
Mindestbreite beim Gebüsch. Entsprechend sind ein paar Bäume kein Wald 
und man könnte sie hier einzeln mappen. Mindestflächen für Wald können 
z.B. 1ha sein (nach Kartieranleitungen und Landesforstgesetzen).


Bei 3(-5)m durchschn. Höhe kann man Gebüsche mit Gebüscharten ruhig 
Gebüsch nennen (Holunder, Hasel,...).
Wenn da allerdings viele junge Baumarten drin stehen, würde ich bei 
4-5m schon zu einem Wald tendieren. Was gemappt wird, soll ja 4-5 Jahre 
Bestand haben etc.

Insofern: nach Zwischendingen würde ich nicht Ausschau halten.
Ggf. einzeln mappen.

Grüße, t.

ja, kleinere Baumflächen sind kein Wald, aber einzeln mappen ist bei
mehr als ein paar Bäumen m.E. auch nicht sinnvoll (bzw. wer das tun
will, kann das ruhig machen, aber das werden die wenigsten sein) dazu
kommt, dass, wenn die Bäume dicht stehen, sie teilweise auch nicht
auseinanderzuhalten sind. landcover=trees ist in jedem Fall richtig,
ob man landuse=forest nur für echten Wald benutzt, oder für alle
Arten von Baumbestand, finde ich nicht so wichtig, die Größe hat man
bei Polygonen ja und kann anhand dessen beurteilen, ob es ein echter
Wald ist, oder nur ein paar Bäume.

Dear mappers and sailors,

we import some nautical lights around Sardinia.

The tags will follow to the official data.
The position is approximately (max diff 180m).

So it would be nice if you can help to move it to the exact position.
If there is a existing man_made=lighthouse please merge it.

Here you find a illustrated How-To:

Thanks for help!
Markus

PS: if somebody can translate the HowTo to French - that would be great!

Moving them to their exact position is easy with Italian aerial photos.
However we need their approximate coordinates. Can you send us a GPX
file / OSM extract?

Thanks,
Federico

[Talk-it] [OT] Problema GPX su Dakota 20

2011-06-07 Diskussionsfäden Tiziano D'Angelo
ciao a tutti,

ho provato a trovare una soluzione...ma niente... ho un Garmin Dakota 20 che
memorizza le tracce GPX spezzandole ogni tot, quindi per varie ore di
registrazione avrò varie tracce salvate nella cartella archived sulla
memoria interna. Temo sia un limite di punti immagazzinabile (ho impostato
la registrazione a 1 secondo). Non sono riuscito a impostare la
registrazione su scheda micro SD (non trovo l'opzione) come sul vecchio
Garmin Etrex Legend Hcx che salvava sulla micro SD una sola traccia per ogni
giorno. Strano che un modello più recente come il Dakota non abbia la
medesima funzionalità dell'Etrex!! La cosa è particolarmente irritante in
quanto non riesco ad ottenere una traccia utilizzabile immediatamente su
JOSM o da caricare su qualche sito tipo GPSies :(
qualcuno saprebbe aiutarmi a svelare l'arcano?
grazie
ciao
Tiziano

Ciao,
ho dato un'occhiata alla mappa, se l'hai scaricata anche te ti darò la
posizione dei luoghi in coordinate dei pixel (basta che la apri con Gimp).

Come zona vedrei bene il Monte Corvo (ovviamente non essendoci mai stato
giudico solo guardando la mappa), le coordinate in pixel sono: (3935, 1565).
 Rifugi in zona c'è il Rifugio Fioretti a Stazzo di Solagno (3425, 1760 px)
che è raggiungibile parcheggiando l'auto su a San Martino (2690, 1125px)

CIT.: Dalla S.S. 80, nei pressi della frazione di Ortolano, si attraversa la
diga del lago di Provvidenza e si continua sulla sterrata, che inizialmente
costeggia il lago e poi risale la Valle del Chiarino in +/- 4,5 km, fino a
raggiungere la restaurata Masseria Cappelli (1262 mt) dove è possibile
parcheggiare.
La chiesetta di San Martino, poco oltre, segna la fine della carrareccia
percorribile durante la buona stagione qui inizia infatti il divieto di
transito.

Altri rifugi in zona sono: Rifugio Del Monte (4020, 925px) e un altro qui
(3015, 2170px).
Facendo base al Fioretti siamo relativamente vicini alla macchina, così non
dobbiamo camallare troppo i viveri, inoltre ci sono veramente tanti sentieri in
zona.

Come link interessanti ho trovato:

http://www.ilgransasso.com/itinerari.html
http://www.provincia.teramo.it/agenzia-giovani/viaggi-vacanze/i-rifugi-del-
gran-sasso

Guarda cosa ti sembra che poi chiediamo in lista.


Ale
