I don't think "censorship" is a helpful term here. But there has been a practice in OSM to *not* map certain things, such as private/non-publicized domestic violence shelters, or the nesting sites of endangered birds. So the same logic applies here I think. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
Re: [talk-au] Mapping Indigenous Place Names
You can use Ethnologue to check out the languages in Australia and what the language code to use. https://www.ethnologue.com/country/AU/languages They also have maps: https://www.ethnologue.com/sites/default/files/styles/original/public/maps/20/AU___rgb.png https://www.ethnologue.com/sites/default/files/styles/original/public/maps/20/AU_n_rgb.png On 26/01/18 13:09, David Dean wrote: Hi everyone, I've done a little research, and added the following section to the Australian Tagging Guidelines at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_Tagging_Guidelines#Places, and the Multilingual names page at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Multilingual_names: Please use the name:aus (aus is the general ISO639-2 code for Australian Aboriginal Languages) to indicate the indigenous names of places. It would be useful to do this even when the generally used name is indigenous, to allow for a potential indigenous rendering of our maps. I hope we can all agree that this is an excellent idea, and starting adding these everywhere we can. Here's my first go: https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/55769062. So far we currently have about 4 name:aus tags in the whole country (see https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/voW).

This is an important point. OSM is trying to be "very clean" when it comes to copyright. After all, if you were to use it, and then a court were to find that that was copyright infringement, then suddely OSM becomes unusable for everyone. Anyone who uses OSM data would be liable to be sued. etc. "When in doubt, leave it out" unfortunatly.

Re: [talk-au] Tagging for the router

"Tagging for the renderer" (similar to "tagging for the router") is a bad thing when people add _incorrect_ data in order to get it to show up nicely on the map. If the playground at a local school had a red tarmac play area, and you map it as building=industrial because that gets the correct reddish colour, *thats* tagging for the renderer. You've added bad data so that you could get a nice map. Instead you should change the renderer In this case, if you're not legally allowed to make that u turn, then adding a no_u_turn restriction isn't *incorrect*. Perhaps routers should know about all the local restrictions, or deduce it from the geometry, but adding such a turn restriction isn't added incorrect data. -- signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
