[OSM-talk-be] Test website for OSM streets

2010-02-01 Thread Kenny Knecht
Hi all,


I've been doing a little programming and I would like to share the results
with you: if you go http://users.edpnet.be/kknecht/ you arrive at a website
where you can find the state of the OSM maps for some municipalities in the
neighbourhood of Gent.
In detail you can find

   - the missing streets, which are in official lists (these can be found in
   general at municipality websites, often reading the HTML source of the
   streetmap website)
   - the streets in OSM NOT in the official list: personally I think these
   are the most important,because that way we can clean our database!
   - some history shots where the coverage per km^2 on a three-monthly basis
   (this is just some graphic sugar, but it is nice to see your work evolve
   isn't it?)

Now the good news is that it's a piece of cake to do this for ANY Belgian
municipality, so if you want yours added, all you have to send me is a text
file just containing all the official street names, each on a separate line,
and I add the info soon... if I have time ;-)

If you have comments or suggestions: just let me know.

So long,

Kenny

Very important. I see that different roads have their own nodes and when two 
roads connect, there are two nodes in the same spot.
In JOSM, use the validator plugin and be sure to have duplicated nodes 
checked.

What I've also seen is a lot of nodes (in ways) that have is_in=kosovo on them. 
I find that superfluous and delete those tags. I hope nobody objects to that.

Re: [OSM-talk] If you want to help with OSM, and dont know what to do, help out with the Kosovo and Albania project

2010-02-01 Thread John F. Eldredge

Before you join streets that end near each other, I would recommend making sure 
that the streets actually connect to each other.  Streets sometimes have 
barriers, or two disconnected segments, as a means of making sure that a 
particular street segment is used only within a particular neighborhood, not as 
a through route.

I am fully aware that many people will not want to hear that - but why

rather shutdown than attempt to switch to OSM. 

A while ago, I had approached another company which produces mobile
navigation software, where I know some people. I tried to advertise OSM data
and maybe get some support for their software. To my great surprise, they
had spent a considerable sum of money on converting OSM data into their
format and had already evaluated it. The result of the evaluation was
disillusioning: The geometry is pretty good, but the attribution is way
below what would be required to substitute the commercial data. They decided
to not use it, in spite of the work already invested.

Which is rather close to the statement from Nav4All.

OSM is quite suitable for any hobby project, but I believe that the
anarchistic nature and the often controversial and sometimes disputed and
chaotic tagging are reason enough to deter the use of OSM in any
professional area where you are talking about warranties. The commercial map
data has fixed tagging schemes and minimum quality standards. It contains no
nasty surprises in general and if it does fail in some places, there's a
provider who is liable to fix this ASAP. As long as OSM has no comparable
standards (and I don't expect it will have - I'd like to point at my
favorite example that there's still no agreed way to tag something as simple
as a bicycle way), it is unlikely to meet the existing standards of
commercial providers.

I am aware that other than Nav4All and the company I talked to, Skobbler is
trying to switch to OSM. They are probably running into all the problems
with ambiguities and controversial tagging right now. So I am very
interested what sort of navigation they will manage.

well, how many professional map data providers provide mapdata for

In the SW UK, I would say not.
Inner Urban seems OK as long as you want to stop artery road rather than 
at the door; outer urban even less accuracy.
Rural areas - it's lucky dip  really, whole villages still missing  
even their connecting roads are absent.

I would hazard a guess that foot routes are nearer to completion than 
vehicle.

I have to agree with Nop, up to a point. OSM is a great project and I invest
a lot of my free time in it, but I still think it has a lot of failure
points. The first time I wanted to use OSM data for a professional job, the
data simply failed me. And I'm only talking about generating a high-scale UK
map, not some complex routing application. Even drawing land borders between
England, Scotland and Wales proved to be big PITA because of different
approaches to tagging between the three regions (not to mention that
England's regional boundaries were tagged the same way as the border with
Scotland). I don't whether this has been improved in the meantime.

So you are forced to manually post-process the data, which kind-of
invalidates the whole tagging approach in OSM.
I think this will sooner or later have to be addressed by the OSM community.
Or we will have to build much better mapping applications which will be able
to go around these obstacles.

Igor

I'd agree with you if you'd insert a OSM cannot _yet_ deliver. No, I 
don't think OSM can currently quite compare with the full Navteq on a 
global scale in those countries that Navteq has good coverage for 
turn-by-turn applications. And I would probably even go as far as say I 
can also understand why they would rather shutdown then currently use 
OSM depending on where their main user base is. But that doesn't mean we 
can't use the fact that a company (potentially) has to shutdown due to 
licensing dispute between competitors, to make the point why it is 
important to have open data and try and convince people that is worth 
their while to contribute to such an effort to ensure that it does 
become a viable alternative. And I am convinced that OSM will continue 
to become viable in more and more applications including eventually 
turn-by-turn navigation.


 A while ago, I had approached another company which produces mobile
 navigation software, where I know some people. I tried to advertise OSM data
 and maybe get some support for their software. To my great surprise, they
 had spent a considerable sum of money on converting OSM data into their

Interesting. I think that could also be spun positively ;-) It means 
people in the industry are starting to take OSM seriously and actually 
invest money to evaluate how far it has come and be prepared for when it 
does reach a sufficient quality or need to quickly switch. It also means 
they must have had some confidence in that the process of crowd sourcing 
map data can work. Again I would agree with you that geometry is good 
and attribution still somewhat lacking. Osm is missing loads of turn 
restriction, height or weight restrictions, speed restrictions and 
housenumbers to name a few, even in areas with very good geometry 
coverage. But from a point of view of being disillusioned, I think in 
the majority of cases they are missing and seldomly wrong. So it just 
needs a lot more mappers and some time and that should be achievable too.
Without knowing the company and any more of what they concluded I 
obviously can't say if the above statement is true for your example. But 
I have at least been peripherally involved with writing the turn-by-turn 
  routing support of GpsMid that is based on OSM data and in my limited 
testing, the routes it found in high coverage areas, were not really 
worse than those found by a TomTom or Navigon that I had for comparison. 
Each had parts where it was better and worse than the others. So I do 
think it would be possible to make good routing from OSM, given good 
(commercial?) software.





 Which is rather close to the statement from Nav4All.

 OSM is quite suitable for any hobby project, but I believe that the
 anarchistic nature and the often controversial and sometimes disputed and
 chaotic tagging are reason enough to deter the use of OSM in any
 professional area where you are talking about warranties. The commercial map
 data has fixed tagging schemes and minimum quality standards. It contains no

 standards (and I don't expect it will have - I'd like to point at my
 favorite example that there's still no agreed way to tag something as simple
 as a bicycle way), it is unlikely to meet the existing standards of
 commercial providers.

So as I stated above, I don't think the _main_ problem at the moment is 
the anarchistic tagging, but still too limited coverage, especially on 
tagging relevant for routing. You just need to look at the Navteq and 
Teleatlas maps and see how many errors they contain and particularly how 
outdated in many areas, even on major roads in the middle of major 
cities they are, that you must realize that commercial companies can and 
have to be able to live with errors, inaccuracies and nasty surprises. 
And companies aren't liable for the errors, I don't think, or has any 
company been successfully sued for drivers driving into railway tracks, 
into rivers, getting stuck on unpassable roads as one can occasionally 
read in the media,

(1) My experience is that commercial and government GIS map data is less 
than perfect;  particularly if you're crossing international borders.  
Even if you're targeting North America,  it turns out the whole 
architecture of commercial information (generally built on top of the 
national census) is entirely different in Mexico,  Canada and the US. 
Project #2 in the pipeline is a fundamentally international GIS system 
that wouldn't be possible at all w/o dbpedia,  geonames,  freebase,  
Yahoo's shapes,  and Open Street Maps;  unless I had the kind of 
resources that Google has.

(2) A big part of the Web 2 - Web 3 transition is going to be finding a 
way to clean up the tagging morass.  When it comes down to it,  tags 
suck for two reasons:  (i) they're a lot of work to create,  and (ii) 
people don't use them consistently.  There's are many approaches,  but 
it's one of the biggest problems that I see in front of me personally.

I don't think that the line is between hobby and professional.

OSM with their volunteers does one kind of mapping, and TeleAtlas with 
their vans does another kind of mapping. Each has its own distinctive 
advantages. There are professional users wo spend money on OSM data when 
they *already have* TeleAtlas data.

The commercial maps have fixed tagging schemes, minimum quality 
standards and only accept trained personnel as mappers. They have long 
turnaround times and cost a lot of money to maintain. At OSM we have no 
fixed tagging schema, no minimum quality standards, and anyone can map. 
We have super fast turnaround times and cost nothing to maintain. 
Different approaches - different results. Not worse or better; different.

I don't see how you could have the advantages without the disadvantages. 
Add a fixed tagging scheme and peer review to OSM and you get more 
quality but less data and longer turnaround times; before long you are 
TeleAtlas v2.0 and have to charge for maps to pay your mappers because 
nobody does it for fun any more.

So, yes, in my eyes the approach is really take it or leave it, and if 
someone decides he'd rather use TeleAtlas or Navteq then by all means, 
let him do it. I don't know why Dave F finds this VERY disillusioning; 
what was his illusion then? For OSM to rule the world? I think the world 
is much better of with a few map datasets following different approaches 
that with a one size fits all dataset.

Frederik,

All this is true, but I think we are too concentrated on generating 
content (i.e. mapping) as opposed to actually using this data for some 
meaningful purpose. I guess this is natural, since majority of OSM users 
are mostly map data producers, and only the minority is actively 
involved in map consuming.

My point is that we should listen to people who are trying to use our 
mapping data (both for non-profit and commercially).  After all, isn't 
it the whole point of OSM to produce something useful? Or is just so 
that we can show a nice world map on the main page?

Regards,
Igor

Hmmm, a lot of the mappers I was talking to told me that it was a burden 
to find the right tag for something, in the hope that it will appear 
on the map.

Seems a lot of mappers would be quite happy to follow an at least more 
fixed tagging scheme than what we currently have today.

 It is right that we are all concentrating on creation of content.  But,
what we haven't had yet is any commercial map data consumers  telling us
what they need.  Well, in a way, maybe Nav4All is telling us what it
needs... and I sometimes hear Cloudmade banging on about routing.

It would be interesting to have some map consumer tell us what their minimum
mapping needs.  Statements like OSM has been looked at but is no solution
because there is no full coverage don't help us to provide what they need.

While mappers might be uncomfortable to mark out an area and tag it with
ok_for_Nav4All=yes, I think I would be happy to mark out areas with
road_network=complete and cycle_network=complete, based on some definition
provided by someone who would actually use that information.

Come on guys tell us what you need.

How about generic tagging system for the start and improve from there?
Some sort of *generic* standards for tagging before tag it and it
will come. Problem is that there are people who are ready to map
before working on tagging. And people who would like to work on
tagging, but have difficulties to get first party to agree. We need
some kind of beloved imperator, be it human being or unofficial
tagging/mapping guide, who says what is what and that's it.

Problem is that we *know* what map consumers want - consistent data
where they are available - but there are people in OSM who simply
aren't ready to agree for this. People like me have been talking about
this for some year.

Cheers,
Peter.

It's beginning to happen already.

As OSM's data structures (principally creative and unexpected uses of
relations) and tags become more complex, and as the project expands beyond
the initial audience of geeks, the editing tools are inevitably starting to
abstract away the nitty-gritty. In two years' time, most users won't know or
care what the cycleway tags are; they'll just click the cycleway icon(s) in
their editor and tick the appropriate options, and the editor will invisibly
sort the tags out.

I don't think that will make the we need fixed rules fraction happy. 
We have renderers with fixed rules today - several of them - but that 
kind of fixed rules is not what they are looking for.

If we have several different editors with different icons, I don't think 
that will help.

You'll only move the fight to somewhere else. People will discuss 
endlessly about what should be on the tool tip of the cycleway button. 
Use this only if there is a blue sign with a bicycle on it - But my 
country has no blue signs with bicycles.

Ulf wrote:

You make this sound as if this is about the freedom of the new mappers. 
But they are, even today, free to follow any ruleset, cheatsheet, or 
book that they want to use. It's just that they don't get a guarantee 
that everyone else is using the same ruleset but that's ok - there might 
be rulesets much too complex for a newcomer, or the newcomer ruleset for 
rural Peru might be different from the one for urban Japan. Trying to 
make them all the same will needlessly reduce OSM's richness. These 
rulesets are unlikely to be devised by the same body; it would be too 
complex and the result would be less than optimal for everyone involved.

(In my OSM talks I like to show a communist-era poster about a five-year 
command economy plan. Command economy sounds like a good idea on paper 
but it turns out that the amount of planning required to get it to work 
is more than mankind can muster. The same, I think, is true for a 
world-wide OSM Ontology.)

2010-02-01 Thread Frederik Ramm
Nic,

 It is very easy to sit back and say we'll let the community fix the 
 tagging over time. It is even conceivable that some players who build a 
 business around OSM (and I'm not mentioning names here) may secretly 
 want the tagging mayhem to continue because they already have software 
 to work around the issues and they view that as a competitive advantage.

It is conceivable but would be very short-sighted of them. I can't speak 
for others of course but if I had something that neatly streamlined OSM 
data and removed the issues then I would try to make the community 
(and first and foremost the renderers) use it - because that would be 
the only way to make sure it works across the breadth of OSM and stays 
in sync with what's en vogue. And as for competitive advantage - that'd 
be gone with the new license anyway.

 It's another thing to be involved and choose a side.

It is my honest belief that if all those fixed-rule-enthusiasts had 
their way, OSM would become uninteresting, mappers reduced to drones 
filling out forms that other people have provided for them. It might 
become more commercially viable (with businesses fighting over what 
presets get put into the most widely-used editors so that drones will 
create more valuable data), but if I had to choose I'd rather be part of 
an interesting project than one that's commercially viable.

 Something very simple is the ability to add tags for which no 
 documentation exist (on the wiki).  Someone who does that either made a
 spelling mistake, is too lazy to write documentation, or, even worse, 
 did not bother to look at what other people did. And writing software to 
 prohibit this is quite easy.

Very good, you've come far already:

1. You have named the problem: Tagging mayhem!
2. You have found the culprit: Lazy mappers.
3. You know they are bad people, because they are either not diligent 
enough, or lazy, or careless.
4. You suggest technical means for getting rid of them: Prohibit!

Nothing personal but this is because I react badly to all these rules 
discussions. Mappers are reduced to lazy idiots, and software has to be 
written to make them useful. I don't like the thinking behind this. We 
are a project to which people contribute out of their free will in their 
spare time. We are not a meat grinder.

Having said that, if lack of documentation is your main concern, I could 
well envisage a pop-up in JOSM that goes: You have just entered a tag 
that is not documented on the Wiki. Please provide one line of 
documentation for this new tag in the language of your choice, or click 
here if you do not want to be asked about this tag again.

[OSM-talk] Fwd: FOSS4G 2010 Call for Papers

2010-02-01 Thread Frederik Ramm
Now look at that guy. Barcelona, Spain - as if he hasn't followed the 
latest developments on osm-talk!

 Original Message 
Subject: FOSS4G 2010 Call for Papers
Date: Mon, 1 Feb 2010 14:08:44 -0800
From: Paul Ramsey pram...@cleverelephant.ca
To: PostGIS Users Discussion postgis-us...@postgis.refractions.net, 
GEOS Development List geos-de...@lists.osgeo.org

We are pleased to announce the Call for Abstract for the FOSS4G (Free
and Open Source Software for Geospatial) 2010 conference, being held
September 6-9, in beautiful Barcelona, Spain.

Held annually, FOSS4G is the premier conference for the open source
geospatial community, providing a full-immersion experience in
established and leading edge geospatial technologies for developers,
users, and people new to open source geospatial.

   http://2010.foss4g.org

FOSS4G 2010 presentations are 25 minute talks, with 5 minute question
and answer sessions at the end. Presentations cover the use or
development of open source geospatial software. Anyone can can submit
a presentation proposal and take part in the conference as a
presenter.

Some topics of interest for this year are:

* Case Studies: Relate the experiences of you and your organization
using open source geospatial. Where do things work well? Poorly? What
problems did you solve, and at what cost? What do you recommend for
others? Why?
* Benchmarks: Comparisons between pieces of geospatial software. How
do features compare? Speed? Ease of use? What do you recommend for
others?
* Visualization: Tell about your tips and tricks for effective
visualization. How do you present information in a compelling way? 3D?
Cartographic tricks? Labelling and naming ideas? Graphs and hybrid
map/data combinations?
* Development: What are the new developments in your open source
geospatial software product? How does it work, how do people use it,
what are the technical issues you are running into?
* Hacks and Mashing: Have you put together something novel or cool
this year? What did you stick together, how did it work, show us your
gizmo!
* Collaboration: What techniques are you using to improve
collaboration between organizations and between individuals. Public
geodata, collaborative data collection, data sharing, open standards,
de facto standards, and more!

If you have an open source geospatial story to tell, we want to hear it!

For more information, see the FOSS4G site:

   http://2010.foss4g.org/presentations.php

The deadline for abstract submissions is April 1, 2010. Submit early,
submit often!

== Academic Track ==

The FOSS4G 2010 academic track aims to bringing together researchers,
developers, users and practitioners carrying out research and
development in the geospatial and the free and open source fields and
willing to share original and recent research developments and
experiences.

The academic track will act as an inventory of current research
topics, but the major goal is to promote cooperative research between
OSGeo developers and the academia. The academic track is the right
forum to highlight the most important research challenges and trends
in the domain, and let them became the basis for an informal OSGeo
research agenda. It will foster interdisciplinary discussions in all
aspects of the geospatial and free and open source domains. It will be
organized in a way to promote networking between the participants, to
initiate and favour discussions regarding cutting-edge technologies in
the field, to exchange research ideas and to promote international
collaboration.

== Submission Guidelines ==

All submissions to the academic track must be original unpublished
work written in English. Papers should not exceed the 6000 words
limit. Formatting guidelines will be available soon. Submitted papers
will be thoroughly reviewed by three members of the international
scientific committee and refereed for their quality, originality and
relevance.

Submission deadline (full paper for the academic track) - May, 31th, 2010

== Upcoming Milestones ==

15 Jan 2010, Call for Workshops/Tutorials opens
30 Jan 2010, Call for Workshops/Tutorials closes
1 Feb 2010, Call for Abstracts opens
16 Feb 2010, Notification of acceptance for workshops/tutorials

 It's beginning to happen already.

 As OSM's data structures (principally creative and unexpected uses of

 and tags become more complex, and as the project expands beyond
 the initial audience of geeks, the editing tools are inevitably starting to
 abstract away the nitty-gritty. In two years' time, most users won't know or
 care what the cycleway tags are; they'll just click the cycleway icon(s) in
 their editor and tick the appropriate options, and the editor will invisibly
 sort the tags out.

Yes, like the presets in JOSM, and I guess this will continue. The 
current relation editing e.g. still has a *lot* of room for improvements.

 I don't think that will make the we need fixed rules fraction happy.
 We have renderers with fixed rules today - several of them - but that
 kind of fixed rules is not what they are looking for.

The problem is, that the renderers don't show enough of the variety the 
mappers want to map. Seems to me that tag discussions very often cool 
down once a map really is showing a specific feature - maybe except 
cycleways ;-)

 Ulf wrote:
 Seems a lot of mappers would be quite happy to follow an at least more
 fixed tagging scheme than what we currently have today.

 You make this sound as if this is about the freedom of the new mappers.
 But they are, even today, free to follow any ruleset, cheatsheet, or
 book that they want to use.

The problem is: There is no such thing, once you leave the warm and cozy 
world of presets and Map Features. If you enter the wonderful world of 
Wiki proposal pages, this becomes a jungle of inconsistent, disputed 
information.

This might be fun for the initial audience of geeks, but today most 
mappers are pragmatic and just want to get this damn thing on the map :-)

I don't think of them as lazy idiots, but simply pragmatic in the way 
they spend their time. Not everyone want's to spend his/her whole life 
in the OSM universe.

 It's just that they don't get a guarantee
 that everyone else is using the same ruleset but that's ok - there might
 be rulesets much too complex for a newcomer, or the newcomer ruleset for
 rural Peru might be different from the one for urban Japan. Trying to
 make them all the same will needlessly reduce OSM's richness. These
 rulesets are unlikely to be devised by the same body; it would be too
 complex and the result would be less than optimal for everyone involved.

I'm not convinced that this is actually true.

 (In my OSM talks I like to show a communist-era poster about a five-year
 command economy plan. Command economy sounds like a good idea on paper
 but it turns out that the amount of planning required to get it to work
 is more than mankind can muster. The same, I think, is true for a
 world-wide OSM Ontology.)

There are lot's of possible solutions somewhere between a five year plan 
and the Wiki confusion of today ...

The problem with this is the sofixit response.

OSM works like many other open-source projects, where someone says: Hey, X is

The OSM community works the same way. I'm not going to work for a company just 
because they ask for it very nicely. Dammit, if a company wants me to fix OSM 
in some way, I could as well get paid for that!

Maybe the time is coming for the business model in where I get OSM data, fork 
it, fix it in some way, and stamp a certified technicial-approved version 
on the cover. For just a couple grand.


You want OSM to comply with certain quality standards? Well, either invest in 
that, or pay for that. But it's not gonna magically come from the users.

 ... I think we are too concentrated on generating 
 content (i.e. mapping) as opposed to actually using this data for some 
 meaningful purpose. I guess this is natural, since majority of OSM users 
 are mostly map data producers, and only the minority is actively 
 involved in map consuming.
 
 My point is that we should listen to people who are trying to use our 
 mapping data (both for non-profit and commercially).  After all, isn't 
 it the whole point of OSM to produce something useful? Or is just so 
 that we can show a nice world map on the main page?

Personally, I'm here as a map consumer.  I was looking for handheld 
GPS maps about 18 months ago and OSM was the only option that was not 
(a) expensive, (b) a bit rubbish or (c) both.  Also, Ordnance Survey 
paper coverage was a bit poor where I live because it hadn't kept pace 
with landscape changes (railways, mining etc.).  Speaking as someone who 
spends the occasional weekend walking around the Peak District and 
dropping by a pub or two, I'm a happy camper - where OSM has coverage 
it's usually better than anything else.

However, wearing another hat, I work for a company that occasionally 
gets asked by customers how to display business information on a map. 
Usually they don't have much money to spend (does anyone?).  OSM data 
ought to be an option, but there are a couple of issues:  One is 
coverage, discussed better here: 
http://fakestevec.blogspot.com/2010/01/shitholes.html than I could.

The other is licensing (yes - I know - I'm sorry).  I'm not a lawyer, 
but even I can have a go at navigating through Google's maze of twisty 
little licence pages, all different and come out with an answer at the 
end (which is usually no, you can't legally do what you were hoping 
to).  Unfortunately, OSM seems to be more complicated.  I've read the 
legal FAQ in the wiki.  I've read the Common licence interpretations 
page - and I still have no idea whether a particular use constitutes a 
derivative or a collective work.  I suspect that many prospective 
users will have given up before the we strongly advise you to obtain 
legal advice bit (despite that being the correct answer, of course). 
  What would really help the interpretations page would be some 
examples, similar to the ODL Use Cases, but for the current licence.

For instance, a company (let's call them Elcheapotech) wants to plot 
its customers' locations on a map.  It doesn't want to update the data, 
or sell anything based upon it - it just wants a background seeing where 
things are.  They won't object to displaying an attribution on-screen. 
They probably wouldn't object if someone said that they had to host a 
copy of the original OSM data, but they would object if they had to make 
public their overlay.  They're not selling their overlaid data - just 
using it internally.  Is that allowed?  If yes (or no), why? (or why 
not?).  The way that I read the 1st part of the 4th paragraph of the 
interpretations page suggests that someone thinks that this would be a 
derivative work, but the last part suggests collective work.  If the 
2nd of these is correct, what happens if Elcheapotech wants to sell the 
expertise that it has gained by doing the same thing that it has 
internally as a service for other companies?

Hi,

Someoneelse wrote:

[...]

 but they would object if they had to make 
 public their overlay.

If they publish their overlay (for example in their yearly report - it 
counts as publishing even if the report is only given to selected 
people) then they have to do so under CC-BY-SA which will allow those 
who receive the work to copy from it. If they don't publish, then they 
don't publish.

Much like the GPL, this doesn't mean that you have to give the work to 
everyone - it's just that those whom you give it to have the right to do 
with it whatever they please (under CC-BY-SA).

 what happens if Elcheapotech wants to sell the 
 expertise that it has gained by doing the same thing that it has 
 internally as a service for other companies?

I give my secret data to Elcheapotech. They plot it on an OSM map and 
give me a PDF. The PDF is now under CC-BY-SA (because, having left 
Elcheapotech's business, it is considered published). However, 
Elcheaptoech hasn't given the PDF to anyone else but me, and doesn't 
have to. I, in turn, use it internally and neither I nor my employees 
have an interest in publishing it. So everything is fine.

This interpretation of public/publish (as soon as it leaves your 
house, even if you only hand it to a print shop for copying, it is 
published) is not shared by everyone; some say that having a 
contractor work on your data for you does not count as publish. But 
the distinction is not relevant in your case.

And legal-talk is - that way.

I am going to be doing more reading up on the Spa tagging, but I do like 
what you have done.

Another question that came to mind when reading what you have done:  How do 
I denote the different services that a particular company owned building 
provides?

For example with a bank that provides private banking services as well as 
foreign exchange and maybe a few other things?  not all banks provide all 
those services, some only provide a small subset.

Or, in keeping with the spa example, a particular spa which provides a whole 
range of different services where another may only provide tanning and 
massage?

Anyone have any thoughts or possible implementations?

I have been collecting names here with sources, it will be alot of work.

http://kosova.wikia.com/wiki/PrishtinaStreets

Not only do we have Serbian and Albanian names, but also at least 3
different spellings for each one. Most roads have no signs. And you
have cyrillic forms for the serbian ones. All that lead to utter chaos
and most people dont even know the Streetnames at all.

Here are some other sources of POIS:
www.kta-kosovo.org the privatization agency
and the business registry
www.arbk.org (we have a scraper for this)

I would like to see more tools to manage the storage and association

[OSM-talk-nl] Huidige status van NL kaarten

2010-02-01 Thread Bram Duvigneau
Dag mensen,

Ik ben vrij nieuw met het hele OSM gebeuren en heb me maar eens 
aangemeld op deze mailinglist. Ik ben aan het kijken in hoeverre de OSM 
kaarten geschikt zijn voor een projectje dat ik op het ookg heb.

Zelf ben ik volledig blind en voor deze doelgroep is GPS-navigatie 
natuurlijk een erg handig hulpmiddel. Nadeel bij commerciele producten 
is allereerst de prijs, iets dat specifiek voor een doelgroep wordt 
ontwikkeld mag blijkbaar automatisch 4 maal zo veel kosten dan het 
standaardproduct waar het van is afgeleid. Om een idee te geven, extra 
opties die in het desbetreffende product zijn toegevoegd zijn onder 
andere een lijstje van kruisingen in de buurt en een where am I 
feature, technisch niet heel spannend dus.

Verder zijn de standaardkaarten van TeleAtlas en Navteq gewoon niet 
handig voor voetgangers. Ik ben weleens omgeleid ivm een eenrichtingsweg 
waar ik als voetganger natuurlijk geen boodschap aan heb. Om van het 
gebrek aan info over fiets- en voetpaden die niet langs een autoweg 
lopen nog maar te zwijgen.

Nu een van de producten voor de blinde doelgroep, Wayfinder access, is 
gestopt door overname van het moederbedrijf door Vodafone, ben ik eens 
gaan bekijken wwelke mogelijkheden er zijn om een opensource product te 
bouwen dat vergelijkbare functionaliteit biedt. Hiervoor heb ik het 
volgende nodig:
- Geocoding op basis van straat+huisnummer en reverse geocoding, liefst 
ook op huisnumemr niveau, om een waar ben ik feature aan te bieden
- Info over kruispunten (welke straten maken hier deel van uit in welke 
richtingen), welke kruisingen zijn er in de buurt
- Betere info over beschikbare voetpaden voor voetgangersrouting
- Flinke POI database zou leuk zijn

Om bovenstaande samen te vatten is mijn vraag dus in hoeverre de 
Nederlandse kaart op dit moment aan deze wensen voldoet. Voor 
bijvoorbeeld huisnummers heb ik wel een aantal discussies gevonden ivm 
import van de AND data, maar geen duidelijke huidige status.

Groet,

Bram

Ten eerste: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_for_the_blind

Verder: 
- straatnamen zijn overal wel aanwezig, huisnummers zeker niet. Er zou wel
ergens een bestand met huisnummers zijn, maar die is niet compleet
geimporteerd.
- info over kruispunten zul je in de applicatie moeten bouwen. De gegevens
zijn er en met een simpele look-up is in een applicatie altijd aan te geven
wat er in de buurt is.
- routing is ook iets wat de applicatie moet doen. Voor voetgangers zijn
er natuurlijk andere routeringsregels dan voor auto's. Voetgangers hebben
geen eenrichtingsstraat, maar moeten niet over autosnelwegen gestuurd
worden. De AND data heeft zelf weinig tot geen aparte voetpaden en
fietspaden maar die zijn op verschillende plaatsen wel al bijgevoegd.
- POI's zijn nodes in de database, die zijn er met de huidige query
mogelijkheden uit te halen.

Groeten,
Maarten

Welkom op de OSM-NL mailing list :)

 - Geocoding op basis van straat+huisnummer en reverse geocoding, liefst
 ook op huisnumemr niveau, om een waar ben ik feature aan te bieden

Huisnummers zijn aanwezig in OSM, maar nog niet met grote dekking. Er zijn een 
aantal OSM'ers actief bezig met het invoeren hiervan.

 - Info over kruispunten (welke straten maken hier deel van uit in welke
 richtingen), welke kruisingen zijn er in de buurt

Simpele kruisingen zijn eenvoudig uit de data te halen. Complexere kruisingen 
met gescheiden rijbanen, zebrapaden, fietspaden en stoplichten zijn lastiger. 
Zelf geef ik deze nog wel eens aan met een relatie (een OSM data item dat 
ways bundelt) zodat software kan zien dat het om één kruising gaat in plaats 
van een collectie kleintjes.

 - Betere info over beschikbare voetpaden voor voetgangersrouting

Dit gaat zeker beter. Er zijn een aantal standaarden vastgelegd per land. In 
Nederland staat hier bijvoorbeeld in dat voetgangers (en volgens mij ook 
fietsers) eenrichtingsverkeer negeren. Ook voet- en fietspaden die niet naast 
een (auto)weg liggen staan in OSM.

 - Flinke POI database zou leuk zijn

Dat zit ook wel goed. En als er wat mist kan dat makkelijk worden toegevoegd.

 Om bovenstaande samen te vatten is mijn vraag dus in hoeverre de
 Nederlandse kaart op dit moment aan deze wensen voldoet. Voor
 bijvoorbeeld huisnummers heb ik wel een aantal discussies gevonden ivm
 import van de AND data, maar geen duidelijke huidige status.

Volgens mij heeft Floris een grafisch overzicht ergens van waar huisnummers 
zijn ingevoerd. Hij kan je vast in tekst vertellen hoe de status daarvan nu 
is.

2010-02-01 Thread Lambertus
Dag Bram,

Volgens mij is OpenStreetMap in principe een natuurlijke bondgenoot voor 
mensen met een (visuele) handicap. Vrijwel alles is opensource en naar 
wens aan te passen.

Geocoding en reverse geocoding is er al, alleen dan komen meteen bij het 
grootste minpunt in van OSM: we hebben nog veel te weinig huisnummers.

Ook zijn er al een paar projecten binnen OSM dat zich met dit onderwerp 
bezig houden. Een paar links:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Direction_tool_for_Visually_Impaired
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_for_the_blind

Voor mobile applicaties schijnt LoadStone interssant te zijn: 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Loadstone

Zelf heb ik een speciale interface voor YOURS (opensource online 
routeplanner) op het verlanglijstje staan.

Kortom, OSM kan van dienst zijn maar uiteindelijk draait het natuurlijk 
om de hoeveelheid mankracht dat ingezet wordt voor specialistische 
toepassingen. Als er meerdere (blinde) mensen zijn die zich voor een 
bepaald doel inzetten is gebleken dat er snel grote vooruitgang behaald 
worden.

Inderdaad, al is het nadeel dat deze tool vooral handig is om van POI

geeft nog niet echt een volledige kaart maar slechts een  verzameling 
punten waarlangs een route kan worden gemaakt. Nadeel is dus ook dat

Klopt. Ik ben in overleg met een opensource-minded hulpmiddelen 
leverancier in Nederland die hier mogelijk wat tijd en/of geld in wil 
investeren. Ook is er in Nederland wel wat mogelijk op subsidie-gebied, 
maar dan moet er natuurlijk eerst een goed plan liggen. Ik denk dat de 
blinde eind-gebruikers snel genoeg zullen volgen als er iets bruikbaars 
is. Het bijdragen aan bestaande software, of schrijven van nieuwe 
software, kan ik zelf wel doen voor zover ik tijd heb.

Bram, ik vindt dat je een heel mooi punt hebt hier. Wat Philip hier al
opmerkt, het documenteren van de functionele en data wensen/eisen is de
basis hier. Hieruit kun je verder gaan, zoals je zelf al aangeeft om
bijvoorbeeld data of andere middelen te krijgen uit leveranciers/overheid.

Mocht je dit verder uit willen werken dan wil ik hier ook mijn steentje wel

Je kunt je afvragen of het nut heeft om 't te mappen als je het al
niet kunt tracken, dan kan een gebruiker het ook niet gebruiken bij

geleidelijnen is een zowiezo een vorm van micromapping wat met met de

Gewoon, kijken waar het is, en het daar op de kaart zetten. Zeker, dat

Hallo,

die Idee finde ich gut. Mir fallen spontan noch viele Beispiele ein, wo 
es Autoschalter gibt. Man sollte dabei auch mal wieder den Blick über 
den (deutschen) Tellerrand wagen. In anderen Ländern (z.B. westlich des 
Atlantiks und südlich von Kanada) sind Autoschalter ja sehr weit 
verbreitet.

Dem Tag stehe ich aber kritisch gegenüber. Der Begriff Drive-in wird im 
deutschen fälschlicheweise oft statt drive-through verwendet. Dabei gibt 
es zwischen drive-in und drive-through eine klare Abgrenzung:

* Ein drive-in ist Kino/Restaurant/etc. wo man reinfährt, parkt und dann 
vom Personal im Auto bedient wird [1]
* Ein drive-through ist ein Schalter an dem man kurz anhält, seine 
Bestellung aufgibt, seine Ware erhält und dann sofort weiter fährt. [2]

Selbst in der englischen Wikipedia wird darauf hingewiesen, dass der 
Begriff drive-in im deutschen fälschlicherweise auch an Stelle von 
drive-through verwendet wird [3]:
 In the German-speaking world, the term is now often used instead of 
 drive-through for that kind of service.
Die Thematik wird auch in der deutschen Wikipedia erklärt [4].

Ich würde davon ausgehen, dass es auch einen kürzeren, prägnanteren Begriff 
gibt, den die natives für den Zweck wählen würden.

Spontan würde ich den counter einfach weglassen und drive-in=yes setzen. 
Aber ich bin auch kein navie english speaker. :)

[Talk-de] [Fwd: MDR-Beitrag Lücken bei GPS und Auto-Navis]

2010-02-01 Thread Christian Hartnick
Hallo liebe Mitstreiter,

ich habe diesmal eine Anfrage von Herrn Erbe, der für den MDR 
recherchiert. Das Thema (s.u.) war ja schon öfter in Diskussion auf der 
ML. Bitte helft dem Mann - hier können wir ja ein bisschen glänzen.

Grüße

Christian

 Original-Nachricht 
Betreff:MDR-Beitrag Lücken bei GPS und Auto-Navis
Datum:  Mon, 1 Feb 2010 10:58:42 +0100
Von:blauwerk media (Rechercheredaktion) h.e...@blauwerk-media.de
An: o...@postkammer.de



Sehr geehrter Herr Hartnick,

 

wie wir eben besprochen haben recherchiere ich gerade für einen 
MDR-Fernsehbeitrag über Probleme bei der GPS-Navigation und dem 
Kartenmaterial von Auto-Navis. Dafür suche ich die Punkte im 
Kartenmaterial, welche den Autofahrer auf einen falschen Weg schicken 
oder im Navigationsgerät Straßen, Plätze, Landmarken etc.  nicht oder 
falsch angezeigt werden, kurz gesagt: alle Orte, wo sich Realität und 
Navigationsanzeige widersprechen und es dann zu groben Fehlnavigationen 
oder sogar gefährlichen Situationen für Autofahrer kommen kann.

Von besonderem Interesse sind dabei für mich solche Stellen in 
Thüringen/Sachsen/Sachsen-Anhalt (MDR-Sendegebiet) und hier vor allem 
Thüringen.

 

Ich würde mich freuen, wenn mir die Open-Streetmaps-Community und Sie in 
den nächsten Tagen einige Informationen zur Verfügung stellen könnte und 
möchte mich schon jetzt dafür bedanken.

 

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Korrekt. Wenn beides vorhanden ist, dann wird eine Weltkugel angezeigt, da der 
Wikipedia-Link höherwertiger ist.
 
 Ich habe gestern (Sonntag!) versuchshalber 2-3 POIs mit einem url-Tag

 Sollte ich vielleicht doch das website-Tag nehmen, oder sind (außer

Damit der Stern erscheint braucht man nur einen (Wikipedia)-Link angeben.
Ob das website oder url ist, spielt keine Rolle, die werden beide 
berücksichtigt.
Ein Name ist auch nicht zwingend erforderlich, das hatte ich nur bei meiner 
alten Karte so eingerichtet.

 Hallo,

 Welches der vielen Programme zur Darstellung von Offline-OSM-Karten
 beherrscht Vektordarstellung?


Du kannst dir mal die Übersicht unter
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Software/Mobilephones anschauen
(falls noch nicht getan).

Die zweite Tabelle enthält auch den Punkt Shows OSM as Vektor und
Stores Map-Data On-board. (
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Software/Mobilephones#Map_display_features
)

Viel Auswahl neben Glopus bleibt aber nicht übrig, wenn man sich auf
WM beschränken muss. Unter JRME ist die Auswahl schon größer. (siehe
auch: 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Software/Mobilephones#JavaME_Midlets_on_Windows_Mobile
)
Hab auch leider von der WindowsMobile-Software wenig Ahnung. Dafür
habe oder hatte ich schon fast alle Software für Java auf dem Handy.
Hierbei sind GPSMid (Vektormap) und Trekbuddy (Rastermap) meine
Favoriten.

Würde mich freuen, wenn ihr fehlende Software ergänzen könntet. Ich
weiss die Tabellen unter
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Software/Mobilephones sind recht
unübersichtlich, aber ich hatte nicht vermutet, dass sich in kurzer
Zeit so viele Programme finden würden, als ich die Tabellen damals
angelegt hatte.

Überlege momentan, wie ich das übersichtlicher gestalten kann, aber
was wirklich Schlaues fällt mir nicht ein, das im Wiki funktioniert.
Werde mir die Tabellen wohl mal ins Excel ziehen, wenn die Wiki mal
wieder auf read-only ist und ein wenig aufräumen.

Re: [Talk-de] OpenLinkMap umgezogen

2010-02-01 Thread C. Brause
Vermutlich gibt es auch vorher noch zwei Fragen:
1. Was soll die OLM anzeigen?/Welche Funktion hat sie? (Standardfrage)
2. Was passiert, wenn die Links sich so häufen, dass sie sich 
gegenseitig überlagern und es unübersichtlich wird?

Ich persönlich halte die OLM für eine Karte, die Funktionen hat, die in 
jede normale Karte im Netz gehört. Somit könnte man sie eigentlich, 
leicht überarbeitet, als Hauptkarte bei OSM übernehmen. (persönliche 
Meinung) Die Links dürften dann aber nur Zusatz und nicht Hauptfunktion 
sein.

Werden die Links zu unübersichtlichen Haufen, müssen sie sortiert oder 
Abgestuft werden. Lösungen, dass sich beim Anklicken sternförmig weitere 
Popups öffnen mag ich persönlich nicht. Und die Links nach Wichtigkeit 
zu sortieren um manche erst bei hohen Zoomstufen einzublenden, halte ich 
nichts von.

Aus welchem Grund besucht man die OLM? Noch um zu gucken ob es 
georeferenzierte Websites irgendwo gibt. Irgendwann, so stell ich mir 
das im Moment vor, besuche ich die Seite um zu gucken, ob ich nicht eben 
was über die eine oder andere Sehenswürdigkeit gibt, indem ich auf der 
Karte rumklicke. Einfach um mehr zu erfahren. Das geht doch am besten, 
wenn man mit der Maus über die Karte fährt und auf Objekte klicke, die 
mich interessieren. Dazu möchte ich diese auch sehen.
Und alle anderen Links versperren doch quasi den Blick auf die restliche 
Karte, oder?

Ich hab grad das Gefühl, ich klinge irgendwie böse. Das solls aber 
garnicht. Ich find das Projekt echt toll und möchte es durch 
konstruktive Kritik unterstützen!

Liebe Grüße
Christian

 Schalter als auch einen Auto-Automaten oder whatever-Drive-through-Feature
 hat.

 Gruß, Bernd

Naja, ob es da soviel unterscheidliches gibt, ich weiß ja nicht so 
recht. Ich denke mit drive-through=yes erschlagen wir alles. Ob es sich 
dabei um einen Geldautomaten oder eine Mc-Doof Drive-In handelt wird aus 
dem Kontext klar. Wenn ein Geldautomat zusätzlich mit drive-through=yes 
getaggt ist, dürftenklar sein, das es sich um einen Automaten handelt 
und wenn ich McDoof mit drive-through=yes getaggt ist, dürfte klar sein, 
dass es sich um ein Fensterchen handelt hinter dem eine mehr- 
minderfreundlichen Bedienung sitzt.

Grüße

Max

[Talk-de] OpenLinkMap umgezogen

 bhhh  - was wird da denn alles geschaufelt 
Alle Änderungen der OSM-Datenbank in ganz Europa von einer ganzen Woche werden 
mit osmosis geladen. Die Datenbank ist auch für andere Projekte gedacht.

Am Ende die Spezialtabelle für Links zu generieren dauert nicht lange, aber die 
allgemeine Aktualisierung davor dauert fast 12 Stunden.

 mit einem tägl. updaten ist dann wohl nicht zu rechnen !
Ursprünglich wurde die Datenbank für Deutschland täglich aktualisiert, aber ich 
möchte den devserver nicht unnötig belasten.
Bisher wird die Datenbank nur von sehr wenigen Projekten genutzt, da halte ich 
häufige Aktualisierung für übertrieben.

Mal abwarten was sich auf der FOSSGIS Konferenz ergibt.


Gruß,
Mitja

 Mag mir jemand Empfehlungen geben? 
 
 ich bin mit meinem i-blue 747 sehr zufrieden.

 Den Nachfolger gibt's für 55 EUR. Schau mal bei ebay nach i-Blue 747A+
 
 Ist ein Logger+bluetoth GPS-Maus, falls du das mit Handy/Laptop koppeln 
 willst. Standalone nur logger. Hat kein Display. Dafür eben extrem klein 
 und leicht. Speicher ist fest eingebaut, reicht für etwa 120.000 Punkte.
 
 Lässt sich mit vielen Open-Source Tools bequem einstellen und auslesen. 
 Aufzeichnung bis 5Hz.
 
 Genauigkeit ist für mich als Laie schwer zu beurteilen. Aber wenn ich 
 die Tracks in google reinlade, dann ist die Markierung und das Luftbild 
 übereinstimmend. Falls die Luftbilder genau sind, dann liefert der 
 Logger auch eine Genauigkeit von 1-2 Metern.
