[Tagging] Landfills timespan

2020-02-20 Thread Cascafico Giovanni
Hello,

I've an OSM compatible dataset that helps me to spot landfills. Older
ones are already covered by grass and/or trees.

IMHO could be useful to save landfill locations for a future possible use.
Does it make sense tag the ones with surface alterations with level=-1 ?

Or shall I consider landuse=landfill as a functional tagging, hence
tagging them abandoned:landuse=landfill?

Since fountain is intended as "sculptural and/or decorational", IMHO
amenity=fountain is not consistent. AFAIK object belonging to
"amenity" are in someway necessities. So one day, I hope to see
fountain value removed from amenity tag.

That tag is practically non-verifiable and therefore does not really
belong in OSM.  But since everyone is free to add any tags they want in
OSM such tags of course exist.

Reason for the lack of verifiability is that what an active volcano is
in almost all uses of this term does not depend on the current state of
the volcano but on its history - most commonly during the holocene (10k
years) or during historic times.

[Tagging] craft VS man_made

2019-12-02 Thread Cascafico Giovanni
Hello ML!


in Italy there are several small processing companies catalogued as
artisans, mostly in categories like food processing (meat, biscuits,
milk, etc), which don't run a shop (or shop is a minor business).
Reading the wikis, I understand that, depending on business volumes, I
should go for craft.

For instance, I have a dataset with several companies processing of
pork meat, which final product is "prosciutto crudo" ("raw" maturated
ham) and/or salami.

AFAIK in case of an industrial scale business tagging could be
   man_made=works
   product=meat

but if craft should be considered, can be
   craft=meat
   an accepted kv combination?

Is craft just whoever runs the business or the final processed product? Or both?

Other tagging alternatives?

Re: [Tagging] Mapping deforestation wikipage proposal

2019-03-19 Thread Cascafico Giovanni
Lorenzo,
if your project aims to track deforestation in a timespan, IMHO you had
better to focus on trees only. Trying to guess which landuse is going to
replace trees is hard.

I'd start from an AOI entirely mapped with forest, wood or, in doubt, the
generic landcover=trees all of which derived from not up-to-date imagery
(ie Bing).
With this baseline you can then alter polygons with fresh imagery (ie
sentinel2).

This implies to use OSM as an history container. It's up to you to find
methods to save intermediate "snapshots". You can backup AOI periodically
or maybe use planet diffs.

All databases contain errors, or outdated items, even if they are labelled

The collector, whoever he is, is not error free (he is human). OSM mappers
are humans.

The 53 POIs were not simply copied: they were geocoded, (possibly, tag

you write "Import means data are copied from another database into OSM",
you are saying mine is not an import. Hence I think we lack a proper,

Again, "freshly" word is subjectiive. Is a 2 y/o address "fresh"? Is a 3 mo
old payment method "fresh"?Probably you are right, there could be some
hotel diisused, less likely dismantled, several may have canceled visa
payments,,,but I think that no data in worse.

In sept 2015, in the same region, an import was performed involving >400k
address nodes. Same hotel source, same method: dataset built collecting
gathered municipality surveys; data published in may 2014, survey dates
unknown. Until today nobody complained about that import, even if some
addresses were void, even if some we discovered be replaced. AFAIK those
addresses are anyway in use and are a good base for geocoding: should we
had abort that import?

Due to the nature of the umap editing, this "import" couldn't be performed
in one shot. neither uploaded by a dedicated account. What I was aiming,
when I started asking suggestions n this ML, was to set a tagging plan for
a commnity based, umap supported "import". If this doesn't fit anymore the

I took a 600+ dataset, geocoded them, manually conflate 53 of them, put
source references on umap, put source institution name on changeset, ask
for some tags clarification (yet didn't receive an agreed feedback).
Am I missing something?

The only (sequential) results of this discussion are:

- I declare <100 nodes but Volker noticed source dataset has 600+, but then:
- I'm asked where the <100 was mentioned (cannot remember), conclusion: I'm
malicious: it's an import!
- since there is one (1) ML unaswered doubt if "01 Jan - 31 Dec" should be
replaced by 24/7: import is anyway bad
- pets and childcare information are "volatile" (payment methods aren't?
and yet tag exists): import is anyway bad
- "bulk" word removed from main import wiki [1]: hence it's obviously an
import

The lattest is great and leads to grotesque consequences: when a colleague
hands me 12 guidepost locations to geocode, I must message planet import
ML, local ML, write an import page and ask my fellow a consent form with
certified signature. Is this what we aim?
I think setting such a binding requirements on small size "imports" is
putting a gravestone on many potential small, local sources.

Please, forgive my sarcasm, but I'm really discouraged. I published the 53
changeset id's [2]. Feel free to revert.

As stated in the main wiki page [1], importing is "(also known as Bulk
Importing)". Maybe I misunderstood this wider acceptation when I started a
manual insertion of POIs, limiting by myself the number not to trigger it
as an import.

If anybody in this ML considers that this activity is different from
getting informations from hotel websites and putting them in OSM, I will
immediately abort the insertions.

Sorry for that. Is it wrong? I did test it with JOSM OpeningHoursEditor [2]

This consideration raises a huge question about italian fuel stations,
since operators, brands and names come and go.
In case of a future regular import, I'll remove pets and childcare,
inserting just phisical elements like gymn, garage, air-conditioning,
welness etc.

In umap, dataset layer you can read  RAFVG opendata, ottobre [october]
2017. Anyway terms like "very fast" are subjective: some time ago I aborted
a draft for Bed& Breakfast import bacause surveys detected some business
shut downs. So who's in charge of the "very" fast evaluations? If we demand
that every entry in possible source dataaset is right what do you think
will be the situation in OSM today?

Hello,
my mistake... a previous version of .osm file has been imported with
nobrand=yes not yet removed. Sorry for that. Of course it was not
intentional.

The issue is: do we really want to drop unfranchising information?
nobrand=yes tag seems reasonable: how can it damage the quality of import?

about.

nobrand=yes because there is some kind of brand.I'm quoting to brand wiki
page [1] "brand=* allows data users to identify where a well-known brand of
goods are sold."


IMHO all records tagged brand="Pompe Bianche" don't have well-known name
nor well-known operator. Maybe I misunderstand fuzzy terms like
"well-known", but I don't think "MG Gas S.R.L." is part of this category
About assigning description="Pompe Bianche", we'll face conflicts with
pre-existant description tags. So I would only assign nobrand=yes.

Volker:

brands. Please be careful, when importing not to overwrite those "small"
brand signs. How reliable are the import data anyway?

To generate osm candidate for import, conflation procedure has been
followed, so no tags modifications/deletions were performed in this phase.
Note that conflation output has been submitted to audit [3], hence there is
the possibility that registered users modified involved tags.
About reliability, data is spatially accurate: please refer to wiki
paragraph Import data [4]

[Tagging] nobrand

2018-08-23 Thread Cascafico Giovanni
Hello,

I'm going to upload 20k amenity=fuel in Italy; 5k of them are "Pompe
Bianche", which means their don't belong to any brand.

Which solution fits best?

1) brand=Pompe Bianche

2) brand=independent

3) brand:it=Pompe Bianche
brand=independent

4) nobrand=yes
