[Talk-GB] Release - OpenLitterMap.com Paper now Published Online [ OPEN ACCESS ]

2018-06-13 Thread Seán Lynch 
Hi all,

[ Apologies for cross post to those on OSMF mailing list !! ]

I thought some of you might be interested to know that my paper is now
online

Lynch, S., (2018).,* OpenLitterMap.com  - Open
Data on Plastic Pollution with Blockchain Rewards (Littercoin)*., *Open
Geospatial Data, Software, and Standards., *3:6.

*https://rdcu.be/Vv0B
*

I'm always looking to chat and hear from valuable feedback and opinions. I
am also interested in setting up the "OpenLitterMap Foundation" which would
not be unlike the OSMF.

If you would like to download openlittermap data for a country, state, or
city, simply visit-
openlittermap.com/maps/Ireland/download
openlittermap.com/maps/Australia/NSW/download
openlittermap.com/maps/UK/England/London/download

Notice that in the downloads, the OSM address value is included at the
location of each photo. When users upload photos, the OSM address
information at that location is used to populate the list of locations on
OpenLitterMap dynamically. To incentivize early adoption, this process is
redeemable in Littercoin - a blockchain reward applying "proof of work"
principles to citizen science. I am currently dependent on crowdfunding but
I have applied for several grants. Unfortunately not even the PineappleFund
or anyone else thinks that my research and open data on plastic pollution
is worth supporting, but maybe you, society, NatGeo or the EU might ? If
anyone can sign up and support, or point out any other potential grants,
that would be extremely appreciated.

I have also launched a slack channel which you are all welcome to join.
Please send me an email and I will send you an invite to the chat.

Happy mapping,

Cheers,

Seán

Releasing property extents under OGL is likely to be useful in the 
realms of planning and development. And UPRNs will benefit a lot of 
property-related businesses or those for which property forms an 
important part of their dataset.


The really big win, of course, would come from OGLing AddressBase. But, 
in the short term, UPRNs + OSM would make for a workable open source 
alternative.

There's a transaction threshold, so not fully opendata: although I'm sure
it could be gamed by a crowd!

Before getting overly excited, take a look at the (poorly attributed)
sample 1km sq in Exeter. Volume of data is very large with (just)
buildings, road & pavement edges, property boundaries etc. Ask what will it
improve in OSM other than precision: I suspect negligible impact on most
routing applications (as OSM uses a centre-line model, which AFAIK is in
the TIN layer of MM), mapping footpaths. On the (plus?) side lots of very
detailed buildings (but not necessarily changes from extensions), property
outlines (and perhaps this will change the status of the LR Inspire data).

For me the single most valuable aspect will not be MM data at all, but the
removal of licence doubts/issues about other datasets: notably those of
Natural England, SNH and NRW, but also various PRoW data collected by Barry
Cornelius.

[Talk-GB] Has someone just given us (the start of) access to the crown jewels?

2018-06-13 Thread Jon Stockill 

It looks like bits of OS MasterMap are being released under OGL.

This could be interesting!
