[Talk-ca] Crowdsourcing buildings - project with StatCan

2016-08-11 Thread Ellefsen, Bjenk (STATCAN) 
Hello,

Said simply, we are looking for the following:

*   Building type (residential, commercial, industrial, school, farm, etc.)
*   Building name
*   Address
*   Use (this is similar to type but I understand that there needs to be an 
attribute to capture stuff like office=government)
*   Wheelchair access


I have looked at the tags structure and it doesn't look too complicated. One 
discussion we had was about two options.

The first was to define the building and have all shops and amenities brought 
under the building. This is not how it's done on OSM. There are markers to 
identify those.
The feeling at first was that this is a good idea so they all have the common 
address and location of the building and everything there is associated to the 
building.

The sentiment has changed about this, however. The way it's done now seems 
preferable: buildings and info about them with businesses and amenities as 
markers with their own info so basically not changing how it's done.
We have compared with other larger cities and this seems to be the way everyone 
is doing it anyway

Yes - recently bootprint, andrewpmk, and I have been changing and
correcting the name tags to destination in Ontario along the 400-Series
highways. If you see a ramp/link that is named, it's fine to change it over
to destination or correct a problem you find with it.

Hi Manohar:
It is my understanding that including destinations in the name is an
artifact of people tagging for the renderer (and/or tagging destinations at
a time before there was an established tagging scheme). If you search
through the talk-ca archives, you should be able to find some discussions
on the topic.
 Harald.

[Talk-ca] Mapping exit numbers and destinations in Canada

2016-08-11 Thread Manohar Erikipati 
Hello everyone!

Turn restriction sprint was met with an amazing response! We loved working
with you all on adding turn-restrictions in Canada. We appreciate the
timely help and suggestions we got which helped us add correct restrictions
and to also maintain the quality of data we were adding on to
OpenStreetMap. We hope that this support will continue further, as we are
embarking on mapping exit numbers and destinations in the same 5 cities of
Canada.

We have made an easier workflow [1] with tasking manager [2] for adding
exit and destinations. We would like your assistance, participation and
continued involvement in the project. We have captured the details of this
task here [3].

After a preliminary look into the already mapped exit numbers and
destinations, we have these observations:

- We noticed that `destination` (places, cities) and `destination:ref`
(highways) tags are being added to the nodes of exits as `name` tags.
- Few exit nodes have destinations given in the `ref` tag.
- The `destination:street` (towards streets, avenues, boulevard, rue) tags
were not being used.

To begin with, we have one question: Destinations given in the name tag of
nodes is not usual protocol for adding these tags. We want to make sure
whether it is valid or if we could change these tags to the `destination`
based tags accordingly. For more details, here's the complete breakdown
[4]. To reach out to more audience, we have captured this in a OSM diary
post [5]. We would like to hear from the community about the agreed method
of mapping exit numbers and destinations to take this forward.
