Re: [Talk-us] NC sidewalk data import

[Joe Sapletal]

If you haven’t seen it already, this was a good presentation from SOTM a few 
months ago about Pedestrian Mapping.  Nick briefly discusses the plusses and 
minuses of adding sidewalk values to the existing road way vs creating a way 
that is the actual sidewalk/path that supports a pedestrian network.

I can only speak for the Triangle area, but many sidewalks are mapped
as separate ways in this area.  It is probably due to the very
idiosyncratic spending on sidewalks that can begin and end in the
middle of blocks and frequently do not have connections to the road at
one end or the other.  Trying to split ways and add information on
connections would lead to very fragmented way.

Melanie, I know that there was a partial sidewalk import in
Carrboro/Chapel Hill years ago and there is currently a mapping project
to add sidewalks in the city of Durham which is about halfway complete
(see https://tasks.openstreetmap.us/project/92).  I cannot speak of
other cities' data, but the City of Durham data has only the sidewalk
ways themselves and have no connections to streets or other
infrastructure such as greenways or railways, so a mass import without
careful integration with existing data would not work.  It is a fairly
labor intensive process.  It would be definitely worth your while to
work on that as you move forward with a broader import project.

I think the most currently active NC community is on Slack and you
might get more detailed conversations there.  Here is the nc slack
link: https://osmus.slack.com/messages/CAM9RBREE and here is the
triangle link: https://osmus.slack.com/messages/CDW5X3RRD

Re: [Talk-us] Refreshing tasks.openstreetmap.us

[Joe Sapletal]

If they ran side-by-side for a week or two, if possible, that would be nice.  
Then those who have active projects that want to keep them alive on the new 
server could make sure they close the areas already done.  That could help cut 
down on the duplicate effort.  Or at minimum we could take a screen grab. Or 
down load the json and set up a smaller dataset to upload.  Just brainstorming 
here.

I understand the need to move forward.  This might also remove some inactive 
projects or rejuvenate them.

Subject: [Talk-us] Rice County, Minnesota Import

I know this may be meant more for imports-us, but I was advised to post 
to talk-us instead:

A while ago I've noticed that my local county had published a bit of 
their GIS data online in some "open geospatial commons" repository ( 
gisdata.mn.gov ), but couldn't find any clear license terms on it's 
usage. However I've found a few points, and I'll use the Parcel Points 
as an example: 
https://gisdata.mn.gov/dataset/us-mn-co-rice-plan-parcel-points

If you go to the "Full Metadata Record" file, it'll bring you to: 
ftp://ftp.gisdata.mn.gov/pub/gdrs/data/pub/us_mn_co_rice/plan_parcel_points/metadata/metadata.html

Under Section 1, there's the fields of "Access Constraints" and "Use 
Constraints", which are set as "none".

If you pick through the website's metadata guidelines (from  
http://www.mngeo.state.mn.us/committee/standards/mgmg/metadata.htm go to 
"Identification Information"), there's the following page that describes 
those fields: 
http://www.mngeo.state.mn.us/committee/standards/mgmg/idinfo.htm

 Access Constraints: Restrictions and legal prerequisites for 
accessing the data set. These include any access constraints applied to 
assure the protection of privacy or intellectual property, and any 
special restriction or limitation on obtaining the data set.

 Use Constraints: Restrictions and legal prerequisites for using the 
data set after access is granted (ex. transferring to others).

As aforementioned, the metadata of specific dataset that I'm using as an 
example, is set as "none". Meaning there are no restrictions on it's 
access or usage, especially giving an example such as redistribution.

Furthermore, as the service requires of anyone publishing any data on 
this resource, it says: "It is assumed that all resources (data, 
services, apps and maps) accessed directly from the Commons will be 
freely available and public. If resources require a license or payment, 
a publisher may only publish a metadata record describing the resource 
that points to another location to acquire the resources." ( 
https://gisdata.mn.gov/content/?q=help/publisher_expectations ). And 
with my example that I provided, all the assets are directly hosted on 
this service, not externally.

Is this sufficient to be able to do an import of the provided example, 
and possibly any other data on this service that matches the same 
aforementioned criteria?

Greetings,

I am new to the idea of discussing additions to OSM and like to do my best to

I live in Tennessee USA. The State of Tennessee has posted a number of datasets 
without any license restrictions on this site tn-tnmap.opendata.arcgis.com . I 
would like to suggest some of this data would be useful in open street maps. 
For now I would like to add a building outline data set to OSM and a state 
parks trails data set. 

As I am new to the idea of putting up data for discussion before it is added to 
OSM I am not sure what information would be best to include to begin a 
discussion/ review process. I would appreciate some suggestions advice as to 
what information to include in this suggestion / request for review.

It would be interesting to see what differences CYGNUS would turn up. What 
would the output of CYGNUS be?

I put together the TIGER 2017 layer that's in the editors right now. I'll work 
on writing up how I did it later today.

Basically: I used tiger-tiles (https://github.com/iandees/tiger-tiles) to 
generate a vector tiles database with expanded road names from TIGER 2017. Then 
I downloaded an osm-qa-tiles (https://osmlab.github.io/osm-qa-tiles/) file for 
the United States and ran osmlint's tigerDelta 
(https://github.com/osmlab/osmlint/tree/master/validators/tigerDelta) to find 
the segments that had different geometry. The output was then ran through 
Tippecanoe to generate a vector tileset and posted to Mapbox as the low zoom 
red features.

On top of cygnus, i have developed shgp2cygnus, were you can place any

list with all the ways that are in the TIGER dataset, but not in OSM.
This would be something useful for the community ? 
 
I don`t know if somebody is already doing something similar, or what is the 
status ? Were can i read more ?
I knoiw that the TIGER 2017 Overlay in JOSM shows in red the roads that are not

But I don`t know were to read more, and if the data is accessible to download

There are polygons that represent the overall park boundary and it some cases

Joe,
Could you confirm that we have the right to trace the 2015 Air Photo imagery 
for use in OpenStreetMap. 

Thanks,
Clifford

[Talk-us] Dakota County, MN Street Data Available

[Joe Sapletal]

I ran a few selections and queries to compare OSM data with the Dakota County 
street centerline data.  Basically, looking for alignment differences and 
mostly for new streets not yet in OSM.  Focused on local streets.  I posted 
them on Github for anyone with time to download and edit into OSM - 
https://github.com/DcjoeS/OSMStreetsDakotaCounty

The repository also notes the URL for the 2015 Air Photo for use in JOSM.  I’ve 
used it, lines up nicely despite the warnings.

[Talk-us] Dakota County Mn Bulk Building and Address Import

[Joe Sapletal]

I’m looking for some assistance and support for doing a Bulk Import of 
buildings with address information.  I’ve already assembled the data from the 
source, but I need help converting it and uploading it and to build community 
support.  I started a wiki page here - 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Minnesota/DakotaCounty/Buildings_Import it 
links to a couple of samples areas of the data.  One I’ve already uploaded as a 
test at this location - https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/44.74096/-93.10751

Any assistance would be great.

Thanks,

Joe (DCJoeS)
