Re: [Talk-us] User in Florida changing several motorways to trunk

[Levente Juhász]

FYI the user also joined the changeset discussion as of recently. Based on
the message and previous changeset comments (e.g. "trunk-primary fixes
(that i messed up)" in
https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/79132672#map=12/28.4681/-81.4027)
it seems to be an honest mistake.

I can help out with fixes over the weekend. Let me know if you come up with
a plan to restore highway=motorway tags.

Re: [Talk-us] Lee county, Florida

[Levente Juhász]

Hi Mango,

I'm glad you didn't get tired of adding all those buildings to OSM last
year.

I quickly checked Lee county's GIS resources and it appears that there's
even a more complete building footprint dataset that contains way more data
than the condo footprints (even single family homes) file you linked. It's
located here:
http://leegisopendata2-leegis.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/building-footprints?geometry=-81.818%2C26.475%2C-81.807%2C26.476.
You're correct, this data is public domain therefore ODbL compatible. See
Chapter 119 of Florida Statues (
http://www.leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute=0100-0199/0119/0119.html
).

Scripts from last year's Miami-Dade import to pre-process data (de-dupe,
merge, fix, etc.) are located here:
https://github.com/SouthFLMappers/OSMImport2018/ Adapting them to Lee
county should be fairly easy, as in changing a few property names. One
issue is that the new address file does not include street type (e.g. Ave,
Dr, St.) in a separate field. This requires some changes but should also be
a fairly simple fix. Wiki page from last year's project is here:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Miami-Dade_County_Address_Import

I can help with the technical stuff (up to setting up a Tasking Manager
project). Can you drive this forward by following guidelines at
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines and implementing
those steps?

Cheers,
Levente

Re: [Talk-us] Address data for Miami Florida United States

[Levente Juhász]

Great stuff, Leif! I will catch up with this project over the weekend and
will provide some input.

I have access to a few workstations with a bunch of memory so I can help
out with converting/processing the input data if needed. Just let me know.
I don't think of the size of these datasets as an issue in terms of
processing (not even the buildings). As you said, splitting them up into
smaller chunks or using a totally different toolset would also work.

Finding enough people to review and put the data on the map will be a
bigger issue in Miami, imho. You guys are planning to implement an entirely
manual approach, correct?

Cheers,
Levente

Re: [Talk-us] Address data for Miami Florida United States

[Levente Juhász]

Hey,

As far as licenses go, these datasets are public domain so no other action
is needed.

As for all the other things, we gave this project a try in 2016 and
imported a large chunk of Large Buildings with address points back then. It
was meant to be a community project where we aimed to engage local mappers
in OSM activities, too. This other objective was not fully achieved, though.

Anyway, here are a few resources that you might find useful.

Wiki:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Miami-Dade_County_Large_Building_Import
Import account: https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/MiamiBuildingsImport
Tool: https://github.com/jlevente/MiamiOSM-buildings (for your #2 and #3)
The Tasking Manager we used to coordinate follow ups and quality checks is
currently offline (but I still have the database).

+1 An open access publication summarizing the finding, more from an
academic point of view:
Juhász, Levente, and Hartwig H. Hochmair. "OSM Data Import as an Outreach
Tool to Trigger Community Growth? A Case Study in Miami." ISPRS
