Re: [Talk-GB] Project Drake - mapping the University of Cambridge
Durham University has a mixture of colleges that are independently owned/run but affiliated to the university, and ones which are totally owned by the university (perhaps some mixed). Teaching is done centrally in whatever department subject is relevant. Take a look at this relation... http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/1286552 And this department building... http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/29065345 There's probably some not-so-good tagging. The accommodation blocks shouldn't really be amenity=college for example. I made a map layer: http://www.livingwithdragons.com/2011/04/university-map-colleges (no longer available online) The issue is I'm not on the university staff to provide technical support or knowledge. We've made a big step by having OSM/OCM as an option on http://www.dur.ac.uk/map/ This is quite old, possible even predating the existence of OSM relations. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Durham#Durham_Specific_Tagging It makes reference to this page. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Oxford#Oxford_Specific_Tagging -- Gregory o...@livingwithdragons.com http://www.livingwithdragons.com ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

Re: [Talk-GB] London Gateway (Port)
Indeed. That's why I flagged it up. I was hoping some local mappers read TALK-GB. Steve On 24/12/2011 14:25, Gregory wrote: OpenStreetMap is a wiki.
