Re: [Talk-transit] NaPTAN bus stop database import

2009-02-28 Thread Roger Slevin
Brian

Stoptype HAR has sub-records which contain two pairs of coordinates, one
representing the entry point to the linear footprint, and the other
representing the exit point.  If guidance has been followed, then the linear
footprint should stay on a road link with the same name along its length
(but evidence indicates that the rules are not always followed strictly,
either because they have been overlooked, or because the creator of the data
hasn't appreciated where a road name changes takes effect).  An HAR stop is
a three point linear feature, anchored on the central point of the three.

Stoptype FLX has sub-records which contain three or more pairs of
coordinates which represent the boundary of the zone which is being
described.  The guidance indicates that the polygon formed by linking the
points with straight lines should cover the relevant area - but of course it
does not have to be precise,  The points should be in sequence within the
sub-records - and generally will be points where the boundary intersects
roads entering/leaving the zone, plus additional points that pull the
boundary so that it completely bounds the zone.  In this process the
inclusion of non-significant territory is normally ignored - the test is
does the zone cover all the roads that could be used by the Demand
Responsive Transport service, and does it not cover any sections of road
that are not to be used by the DRT service?

I don't have an easy way to check on the number of HAR and FLX stops there
are across the country.  HAR is quite common across the whole country.  FLX
exist in relatively few very rural areas - with Lincolnshire being one
county which has a lot of them.  There are few if any, however, in the whole
of the South East region at present.  Peter from Ito may be able to check
more easily on the totals than I can.

Subject: [Talk-transit] NaPTAN bus stop database import

 

Hi All

I've added to Thomas's initial work and  completed what I think we should
import and what the tagging scheme should look like in
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/NaPTAN/Tag_mappings. Please take a look
and shoot down in flames/agree/amend: particularly inclusion/exclusion
proposals

Generally if the text of the proposed tag following the naptan: preamble is
in the format word1_word2 it is our substitute for an ambiguous or verbose
NaPTAN field name, otherwise it's a copy (complete with CapitiLisation) of
the NaPTAN field name


Three questions:




Hail and ride section of route, with a linear footprint.

Flexible zone, with an area footprint.

1.Presumably these are represented for HAR with 2 nodes (start and end) and
for FLX with multiple nodes (min 3) for which we would have to draw a way
between them and add a tag to the way. (naptan:HAR=yes and naptan:FLX=yes)

2.Thomas-  how easy is this to add the way and tag it within the import
process or should  drawing the way and tagging it  be left to manual
intervention? Roger - how many of these are there?

3. If we can agree the entire tagging and import scheme would we get any
extra benefit from offering it for discussion on talkgb or should we just
get on with it?

 

An observation:

With about 30 fields to be imported are editor screens going to look too
cluttered for the average OSMer? TIGER data takes up a lot of screen real
estate and there's a lot less fields. Should we (can we) cull the fields to
be imported?

Re: [talk-ph] On public domain data in the Philippines

2009-02-28 Thread Eugene Alvin Villar
Hi Maning,

Please see section 176.1 of the Intellectual Property Code of the
Philippines (http://www.chanrobles.com/legal7copyright.htm). It says there:

No copyright shall subsist in any work of the Government of the Philippines.
 However, prior approval of the government agency or office wherein the work
 is created shall be necessary for exploitation of such work for profit. Such
 agency or office may, among other things, impose as a condition the payment
 of royalties.


The no copyright phrase is probably intended to mean public domain (a la
the U.S. copyright law) but the subsequent condition of a requirement of
prior approval for commercial purposes means that this is definitely NOT
public domain. There's actually a contradiction by saying no copyright
followed by a prior approval ... is necessary.

Now, I'm not sure whether the Government of the Philippines means every
government agency, including local government units, or simply the National
Government. But if, say, Naga City says that their data is in the public
domain, then it probably is, overriding the provisions of the IPC.

This is something that has been bugging the Filipino Wikipedian community
for several years now. We actually plan to lobby for the repeal of this
prior approval clause so that works by the Philippine Government will
truly be in the public domain. But we have to set-up Wikimedia Philippines
first to give the lobby a legal entity.

Regards,
Eugene

[OSM-legal-talk] Major update to the Open Database License wiki page

2009-02-28 Thread Peter Miller

I have reworked the main Open Database Licence page (and renamed it)  
so that it provides an useful introduction to the whole license  
background and the current  position to a first time reader.

I have bumped the detailed content from the existing page to a new page.

Check out the page here and please make it better!
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Open_Database_License

I do suggest that people who are interested in this debate use the  
wiki 'watch' feature to monitor changes to all of the relevant wiki  
pages, which should all be in the Open Data Licence category.

That isn't, by any stretch, more rights than ODbL - unless you're Google.

 The attribution is not to the original author.  Again fewer rights for

Again, that's not true. ODbL simply says in 4.2c that you must c. Keep

I believe Jordan's original intent (but he can say this much better than me,

whole.  It makes the provision for the database content to be protected by
some other mechanism, such as copyright, but we see that the proposed FIL
license doesn't provide that protection.

 That's definitely not true. A single person's contribution may certainly be

Let me clarify.  The database right applies to a collection of facts.  An
individual contribution may not qualify as a database if it is not a
significant collection of facts, not because it is just one person.  Most
individual contributions will be insufficient *on their own* to constitute a
database.

If someone were to spend a few weeks mapping a town and then contribute that
town in one shot then that may be a database and so could be submitted to
OSM under an ODbL license.  But I don't think we want to encourage that kind
of behaviour.

The average contribution, a single editing session with JOSM or Potlatch,
would not constitute a database.

[OSM-legal-talk] compatibility with CC licenses

2009-02-28 Thread John Wilbanks
merging several threads here

I am not speaking for CC the organization here - there have been no 
conversations to my knowledge about doing a compatibility check between 
ODbL and CC licensing. But, I would remind everyone that the current 
official CC policy on CC licenses and databases - indeed, on any legal 
tools other than PD for databases - is the science commons protocol on 
open access to data, which calls for the PD position only.

This position comes from a goal of promoting interoperability across 
domains of data. We started out endorsing the use of CC licenses on the 
copyrightable elements of databases but not the data itself. After 
about three years of research we decided that was a really Bad Thing if 
what we wanted was data integration.

The experience with GFDL and CC is instructive - even when freedoms are 
similar, license compatibility is hard. We are trying to promote a web 
of integrated data, where one can take gobs of clinical trial data and 
gobs of geospatial data and mash them together, and if each group has 
share alike licensing with slightly different wording, then 
interoperability fails. Not to mention what happens when you have to 
deal with things like patient privacy from open medical data mixing into 
the share alike requirements from non-medical data. We found that each 
community has its own norms and desires, and that embedding those norms 
into licenses was very likely to result in non-compatible legal code.

Please see 
http://sciencecommons.org/projects/publishing/open-access-data-protocol/ 
for the formal position on these things.

jtw

ps - Jordan's PDDL was the first legal tool to comply with the protocol, 
and we're looking hard at creating some formal norms language and tools.

Re: [OSM-legal-talk] A Creative Commons iCommons license

2009-02-28 Thread Frederik Ramm
80n,

 Indeed it is exactly this case I had in mind, where the license gives the
 contributor fewer rights.  It creates a class of derivative works, called
 Produced Works, that are not share alike.

In my opinion, OSM's value is almost entirely in its being a database. 
If OSM were not a database, then any meaningful use of OSM I could think 
of would first require converting it into one! A license that protects 
this core capacity and makes sure that OSM data, when 
published/used/whatever as a database, remains free, does IMHO indeed 
capture the essential bit without wasting energy on the fringes.

You are right in saying that a Produced Work under ODbL does not carry 
the same restrictions as many believe it now has under CC-BY-SA, but I 
fail to see the use of implementing such restrictions. In my eyes, there 
is nothing worth protecting in a Produced Work when our data has 
lost its essential capability of being accessed as a database.

And the essential capability of database-ness is protected, as Richard 
pointed out, even if the data should be conveyed by means of a Produced 
Work.

Frederik

Hi

Richard Fairhurst wrote:
 FWIW, I do think that the ODbL Produced Work provisions _may_ need
 rewording. There seems to be a myth around here that a Produced Work can be
 public domain. Clearly it can't - not in the traditional sense of PD -
 because of 4.7 (the Reverse Engineering provision that dictates that the
 data is still copyleft). If there is any restriction on a work, it isn't PD.

I always thought that the reverse engineering provision would apply 
automatically through the database directive, so even if we allowed a 
Produced Work to be PD then reassembling them into a database would 
still make that database protected, but this was perhaps seen too much

Sadly, this makes it impossible to create a derived product from OSM-old

restriction. So my before-after slippy map would have to be layered

Re: [OSM-legal-talk] A Creative Commons iCommons license

2009-02-28 Thread Rob Myers
 Very roughly (I'm generalising here), in both cases, Derivatives refer =
to a
 situation where the entire result is copyleft, Collectives refer to
 something where only part of it is.=20

A collective work includes the untransformed work.

A derivative work adapts it in some way.

One can claim copyright on either (IIRC), but as a pragmatic move
alternative licences tend to ignore collective works.

 Produced Works are a subclass of the
 latter, not a new class at all. The data component is still copyleft, a=
nd a
 stronger copyleft than CC-BY-SA gives, but other independently sourced
 components may not be.

Is this to handle the way people wish layers to work?

 The database directive does not stop you from making a geographic database,

 have placed on that map.

Not on the map per se, but if you use the map to re-create the original 
database then - at least that's what I was thinking! - you are not using 
your own database but you are (again) using the database compiled by the 
original owner, so you need his permission to use it. This is - I 
thought - absolutely independent of the channel through which you 
received the original database.

 tools other than PD for databases - is the science commons protocol on 
 open access to data, which calls for the PD position only.
 
 This position comes from a goal of promoting interoperability across 
 domains of data. We started out endorsing the use of CC licenses on the 
 copyrightable elements of databases but not the data itself. After 
 about three years of research we decided that was a really Bad Thing if 
 what we wanted was data integration.

Interoperability of data would be nice, but as far as I am concerned
it’s not a primary aim unless the interoperability is with other
similarly free (freedom) and licensed such that further redistribution
is also free.

 Having to grant access to pgsql data base

 In this use case we look at someone who does nothing more than taking 
 OSM data and rearranging it according to fixed rules, e.g. by running it 
 through osm2pgsql. The question we face is: Does this create a derived 
 database to which access has to be granted because of the share-alike 
 element of the license, or is it sufficient to say this is just the 
 planet file run through osm2pgsql?
 
 The lawyer's answer is: Need clarification here. From my reading, this 
 example would seem to constitute a Derivative Database under the ODbL.

It’s a database, derived from the original.  To me it’s a derived
database.  It does need clarifying to say just that.

   this could mean that 
 anyone running osm2pgsql importing minutely data updates would possibly 
 have to make available a ''psql dump of the whole planet'' for any 
 snapshot time where someone cares to request it.

So be it.

 The problem with the old license, the problem we're trying to solve 
 mainly, is that there were so many unresolved issues, that a strict 
 reading of the license could bring down most services overnight and 
 everyone depended on a relaxed reading. If things like the above are not 
 made very very clear and leave any room for interpretation then the new 
 license, again, has the potential to wreck many legitimate uses when 
 read strictly.

ODbL already defines derivatives, produced works and collective
databases separately, and is much more permissive for the latter two.
Distribute a derived database, share it please.

I agree that logically this is OK.  It is a database, derived from the original.
 I feel still that it is unreasonable to say that this kind of just imported and
hardly any modified dataset really is markable different from the original. 
 
I do regularly import some osm data into PostGIS and reproject it inside the
database.  Would it be enough to tell where to download the original OSM data
and what script to run, or should I really make a dump from my imported and
reprojected database tables if someone requests?  The result would be identical.

Where actually goes the limit between database and something else? I believe
that if I convert the data from osm format directly into ESRI Shapefiles then I
do not have a database, or do I?  But if I let ArcGIS to store the shapefile
data into its own personal geodatabase, then I would have a derived database
again?  How about if I store some attributes from osm data into Excel vs.
Access, the latter forms obviously a derived database while the first doesn't?

[OSM-talk] OSM 3D, featured image // OpenStreetMap 3D Germany

2009-02-28 Thread Alexander Zipf
Hi there,

as the website already says: all data, images and videos are cc-by-sa.
The software was produced mainly in another project, so  it can't be 
open source for now.
The preprocessing and resultig structure of the data is very specialized 
for our service infrastructure, database and use case and would probably 
not be of that much value for others. Only if you would set up the whole 
service infrastructure, which is a little demanding...
e.g. the processing of the Germany DEM alone (without buildings, POIs 
etc.) needed more than 1300 CPU hours processing time. Thereofre it was 
done on a computing-cluster...

Images: you can generate your own screenshots, by using the XNavigator 
client, if you have a good bandwidth and a good computer with 3D 
graphics card, Sun Java 1.6 etc. Maybe you put the ones you like best in 
a Wiki-Space?
There are some more scenic cities in Germany, like Freiburg (or smaller 
ones near the Alps) etc., we just had not time to make screenshots of 
every city in Germany ;-)
but I put some more at this place (not yet on the website)
http://www.geographie.uni-bonn.de/karto/osm-3d/Screenshots/tmp/osm3d-germany.w3ds.Freiburg.PNG
http://www.geographie.uni-bonn.de/karto/osm-3d/Screenshots/tmp/osm3d-germany.w3ds.zaehringen.PNG
but larger cities with lot of OSM data tend to be use more space and 
therfore are on flatter areas
and the smaller towns close to mountains may have less rich data (at 
least with resepct to the tags we use so far for this first version), 
but you can see the alps from munich etc.. maybe check also the videos.
The SRTM height data is not exaggerated at this time, so it may look a 
little flat, but that is what the srtm data says... we will have an 
option for visually exaggerating the DEM height values very soon, though.

As the processing of the DEM with integrating the streetslanduse takes 
that long please be patient for updates. We are just starting to plan 
for that. But point-like layers (POIs), labels and buildings shall be 
updated ~weekly.

This is just the very first test version and trial and of course we will 
try to improve the service and use more tags than now... we just wanted 
to get this first version running, than we can think about how to proceed.
 
ps. I am away from my mail until March 08, so won't be able to answer...

We[1] are listening.  You'd prefer to stay with the same license than lose
10% of the data.  We should take that kind of feedback on board.

What percentage of data would other people feel willing to see sacrificed in
order to move forward with the new license?  We should probably exclude mass
donated data as 90% is probably TIGER anyway.  So what percentage of *user
contributed* data would other people feel willing to see sacrificed in order

I think I'd need to see what the data is rather than put it in 
percentage terms.

For example, let's say we're going to lose lots of one way streets (that 
I mapped originally) in my area because user X went round changing them 
from 'yes' to 'true' and then decided they didn't agree with the license 
(or more likely weren't contactable any more), then I could in principle 
recreate these from my original data. Not that I want to spend time 
doing this, but if I had to I could.

But in any case, I'd say 10% is too high. Even if it's 0.1% but it's all 
in my area because there's a particular individual working here blocking 
it, it's WAY too high and would destroy over two years of my work.

Personally, if we lose anything that isn't easily remapped (i.e. almost 
zero work), I'd rather stick with the old license.

Trouble is, I can't vote no once I've voted yes, but if I vote no 
initially, I'll be undermining everyone else.

That would be a good metric. Also,

The 'significant' bit is not the point: it only needs people to have

But most important of all is to know what's happening or going to happen

And an alternative way of looking at it is: might we lose people if we stick

 No. This is really, really important.


No.  CC-BY-SA does not have a class of derivative works that are not share
alike.  ODbL does.  Under ODbL the share alike clause does not apply to any
derivative works (except derived databases).  This is clearly *less*
restrictive than CC-BY-SA.  We are asking people to agree to a weaker
license in this particular respect.



 The concept of a Produced Work is not ODbL magically exempting more works
 from copyleft. Produced Works is simply ODbL's effort to _define_ something
 that exists in all copyleft licences. It isn't a new class of restriction.


Yes it is.  CC-BY-SA does not exempt any derived work from share alike.
ODbL does.



 * CC-BY-SA uses two terms to describe how work uses the original:
 Derivative Work and Collective Work.
 * ODbL uses three terms: Derivative Database, Produced Work and Collective
 Database.

 Very roughly (I'm generalising here), in both cases, Derivatives refer to a
 situation where the entire result is copyleft, Collectives refer to
 something where only part of it is. Produced Works are a subclass of the
 latter, not a new class at all. The data component is still copyleft, and a
 stronger copyleft than CC-BY-SA gives, but other independently sourced
 components may not be.

 We have this at the moment. Think of CloudMade's* routing application. Its
 raison d'etre is OSM data, and anything derived from that is theoretically
 copyleft (not, ahem, that CC-BY-SA requires it to be contributed back). But
 no-one is suggesting that CloudMade have to release their code under
 CC-BY-SA. The GPL is similar. If you compile a program with GCC, the binary
 contains all the optimisations that are probably the most creative aspect
 of GCC, so in moral terms it could be considered a derivative. But no-one's
 suggesting your code therefore has to be GPLed.

 ODbL just uses a new term to help firm up the boundaries. The fact we're
 still arguing five years on (cf flosm.de) about what's derivative and
 collective when CC-BY-SA is applied to data shows how better terminology is
 desperately needed.


 FWIW, I do think that the ODbL Produced Work provisions _may_ need
 rewording. There seems to be a myth around here that a Produced Work can be
 public domain. Clearly it can't - not in the traditional sense of PD -
 because of 4.7 (the Reverse Engineering provision that dictates that the
 data is still copyleft). If there is any restriction on a work, it isn't
 PD.
 This is perhaps not apparent and could do with hardening up.


I agree that a Produced Work is not PD.  Strictly it's licensed as an ODbL
Produced Work, but as you say it's very hard to figure out what rights such
a work has just from trying to read the ODbL.  Redrafting is required to
make this part of the license usable.




  The attribution is to the owner of the database, not the author of the
  work.  There is no requirement in ODbL to provide attribution to the
  authors of the database's content.  Indeed the ODbL asserts that it
  provides no protection over any of the content, just on the database
  as a collective whole.  It makes the provision for the database content
  to be protected by some other mechanism, such as copyright, but we
  see that the proposed FIL license doesn't provide that protection.

 Again, this hinges on whether FIL _is_ what's proposed. I don't believe
 that
 was Jordan's intention.


As I understand it Jordan is not our lawyer and cannot advise us on whether
or not we should use the FIL.

According to Grant's email of Feb 27th OSMF have been advised by Clark Asay
of Wilson Sonsini to use the FIL.  Grant can you publish a copy of that
advice so that we can see exactly what was said please?





 The wiki is contradictory: in one place it says
  Sign up page now states you agree to license your changes under both
 CCBYSA and also ODbL.

 but in another
  when you upload your individual contributions, you agree to licence them
 under the Factual Info Licence.

 You're on the OSMF board, you can tell us. :)


The FIL has never been discussed by the OSMF board.  I know no more about it
than you.



 For what it's worth, I
 distinctly remember Jordan telling me in Reading that he expected
 individual
 users to license their contributions under ODbL; and though in my heart of
 hearts I'm a PD person and prefer things like the FIL, I too think that
 ODbL
 is pragmatically what OSM should be adopting here.

   [...]
   Database rights only exist for collections.  A single person's
   contribution may not, on its own, be a database.

  Let me clarify.  The database right applies to a collection of facts.

 Judging from the discussions at various places, loosing data seems to be
 the main concern with the new license.

 I think a longer transition period would help to alleviate that concern.
 We've had CC-BY-SA licensed planet files for several years now, so adding
 another year - while dual-licensing all new contributions - wouldn't seem to
 cause much damage.

 If the contributions from users who don't agree to the new license were to
 remain in the database for some time, but be marked as legacy data (and
 perhaps shown in a particularly ugly color in the editors), mappers can
 replace that data as part of their regular mapping and data verification
 activities.


We know that the appearance of rendered data is a very strong influence.  I
would consider this to be a totally unacceptable way of making people agree
to a new license.




 I believe in that way most of the old data would be replaced within a just
 few months without causing much disruption.

It depends how you define correct. Anyone can tag anything any way

as those listed in the wiki, as well as probably many that are
widely used that haven't made it there yet) so that other software

And it isn't just on the basis of personal preference. As sly

 I can't rembember how many (oneway='yes' or oneway='true' or

Having lots of different ways of tagging the same thing leads to
unnecessary complexity for consumers of the data. Simplifying the

Sorry, I misread your message as a suggestion that users could be coerced to

not what you said.

Actually, the data doesn't really disappear, it will always be available in

perhaps as a separate layer.  ODbL layer + CC layer = what license?

The 'significant' bit is not the point: it only needs people to have

Linking this chain of thought with the one that myself and Richard Fairhurst 
were discussing earlier on in another strand of this thread, I wonder if the 
insignificant changes could/would/should be deemed not to be copyrightable at 
all. It certainly doesn't add any creativity to change a 'yes' to 'true', and 
as long as it's insignificant in quantity wouldn't be as a result of hard 
labour of any sort. Depends on jurisdiction of course, but maybe the 
contributions of this individual who refuses to agree to the new licence (or 
maybe just isn't contactable) could therefore be essentially ignored and left 
as is in the database without worrying about them? At the end of the day, if 
the individual comes back and objects to this at a later date, we can still 
remove them at that point in time if they have a good case that their small 
'contributions' are indeed copyrightable.

[OSM-talk] Proposed features/snowshed

2009-02-28 Thread Sam Vekemans
Hi Richard,Looking at
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/snowshed

Based on this proposal, as 'snowshed=yes' is both relevant to the GeoBase
NRN, (road segment class), as well as for the CanVec Railway tag features.
 I will put this tag as temporary, with the note of 'canvec:FIXME,needs to
be further defined; Please update wiki chart'

The other option (that was requested on the talk-ca list) was to use
'tunnel=yes', so i have add that as a temporary placeholder. ... I think
that it makes sense to have this, as it is not dug out, nor is it a
building.

Once more people start to agree and comment on it, with no significant
objections.  Then I'll make the change for the canvec2osm program.

Let's recap.  This thread started with your question about whether it would
be feasible to just ask CC to agree that ODbL was a compatible license and
avoid all the trouble of having to bother contributors with lots of boring
legal stuff.

I replied by suggesting that the ODbL license is not compatible and in some
cases removes rights that the contributor currently has.

So let's stay focussed not on the additional protections that ODbL offers,
but on those rights that it takes away.

If I create a nice rendering of some OSM data under the current license it
is a derivative work that is covered by CC and both the share-alike and
attribution clauses explicitly apply to it.

If I create the same nice rendering under the ODbL then it is classed as a
Produced Work.  A produced work is subject to attribution (4.3) but is not
subject to share alike (4.5b).

Since share alike is a key part of the CC-BY-SA license this is a clear
example of a case where a contributors rights are less in the ODbL than in
CC-BY-SA.  That's why it would be very unlikely that CC would agree to class
ODbL as a compatible license.  Because it isn't compatible.

Well Jordan is the author of the FIL and we can assume he did it for a
reason.  It is published adjacent to the ODbL license on a web-site that is
managed by Jordan, so I think there are some clues there.

It's quite possible that Jordan had a different opinion a year ago when all
this kicked off.




 And here I am debating with an OSMF board member who appears to be arguing
 _against_ the licence being recommended by OSMF.

 What on earth is going on?


I'm neither argueing for or against the license.  I'm engaging in a
conversation that I hope will help me, and others, to better understand the
implications of the new license.  Most board members have only recently seen
a copy of the license so they have no more knowledge about it than anyone
else.

We will be making a decision on whether to recommend it to OSMF membership
at our board meeting on March 31st and I'm sure that all the board members
will be paying close attention to the discussions on these various forums
between now and then.  I doubt any board member would put their name to the
license without careful consideration.

And for the record, I haven't spent enough time with the license yet to know
which way I might go on it.

  So - back a stage, how did you install mapnik? Source or an rpm?

 it was from svn head. I went back and built it again. Then rebuilt
 mod_tile. Got no errors. Ran ./renderd - first got an error as it was
 looking fonts in /usr/local/lib64/mapnik/fonts. Found this hardcoded and
 changed it. Now both renderd and renderd.py give the same error:

 Render fd(6) xml(Default), z(0), x(0), y(0)
 ./renderd: symbol lookup error: ./renderd: undefined symbol:

solved - the broken build had put libmapnik.so in /usr/lib whereas the correct 
build had put it in /usr/local/lib. I removed the b0rked files and all is 
serene - thanks a lot for your help.

[talk-au] Fwd: [OSM-legal-talk] ODbL License + Outline Procedure

2009-02-28 Thread Nick Hocking
  I started reading the ODbL licence but in the preamble it stated that this
licence only covers the database itself and not
 the contents of the database.

I stopped reading at this point since I am only interested in the contents
of the database and have minimal interest is the database itself.

[talk-au] Validator in JOSM - extra picky?

2009-02-28 Thread Gordon Smith
OK, so I admit that I might hide under a rock now and again and not
know the latest and greatest gossip about every plugin that JOSM might
use; hence this (perhaps tirvial) question.

Once upon a time the Validator plugin for JOSM would let me know when
I'd made silly typos, or hadn't tagged something appropriately, or had
crossing ways, etc.   And all was well in the world of maping.

Now, when I use the current version of Validator, in conjunction with
josm-latest, I'm told that pretty much every tag I've ever used in the
past doesn't exist in the presets.  It doesn't like the name key
(even when the preset lets me type a name in), it doesn't like
source=survey, it doesn't like type in relations, ..., and on and
on.  It's got to the point where I can't see the real errors because
of the volume of warnings that now appear.

Neither the wiki nor Google have helped me track down why these
informational errors are now being spat back at me.

So, dear list members, what pronouncement have I missed?  What has
been updated or changed that I don't yet know about?

Cheers,

Gordon

Hi,

 Kein Stern heisst nicht richtig, sondern nur dass JOSM keinen Fehler

Spielt es ne Rolle (Unterschied) ob der Stern vor multipolygon steht

Das ist schon mal nicht ganz verkehrt.


1/Fehler^2 ist aber wohl besser.


Wo spielt in Deinen Modellen die Fehlerfortpflanzung eine Rolle?


Wenn man da den Fehler des Mittelwertes dazu zählt spielt sie eine Rolle. 
Auch bei der Interpolation spielt sie eine Rolle.

Im Augenblick suche probiere ich verschiedene Ansätze aus um die Lücken zu 
schließen. Ohne diesen Schritt kann man das Zeichnen von Höhenlinien

Das ist aber schon seit Anbeginn gelogen, denn Java 
1. existierte schon immer nur für eine eng begrenzte Zahl an Plattformen, kann 
   also höchsten plattfürmübergreifend verfügbar sein 
und
2. hatte schon immer böse Tricks und Macken bei einzelnen Plattformen oder
   Versionen. Dann wird plötzlich Java 1.6 inkompatibel zu Java 1.5 und man

Gab es tatsächlich Fälle, wo die Daten _explizit_ ohne jegliche

daß die Intention war, unter CC-BY-SA zu lizensieren.


2. Upgrade-Klauseln sind in DE (zumindest laut Meinung des im

Hat er das so pauschal behauptet?
Die ursprüngliche Aussage ist mittlerweile im Altpapier gelandet (und 
im Online-Archiv habe ich sie nicht gefunden), aber hier mehr oder 
weniger der gleiche Inhalt:


   Artikel 9 der GPLv2 legt fest, dass die FSF von Zeit zu Zeit neue 
Versionen der GPL herausgeben darf, die im Detail von früheren 
Versionen abweichen. Weil die GPL nach deutschem Recht ein Vertrag 
zwischen allen Urhebern eines Programms und dem Benutzer als 
Lizenznehmer ist, gelten die allgemeinen Vertragsgrundsätze auch für 
diese Lizenzvergabe. Einer davon ist der Bestimmtheitsgrundsatz: Ein 
Vertragspartner darf sich nur zu konkreten oder zumindest hinreichend 
bestimmbaren Leistungen verpflichten. Ebenso müssen die allgemeinen 
Vertragsumstände hinreichend konkret feststehen.


   Eine Vertragsklausel, die diesem Bestimmtheitserfordernis nicht 
genügt, könnte nichtig sein. Weil die FSF selbst darlegt, dass die 
zum Zeitpunkt des GPLv2-Entwurfs noch nicht absehbaren Entwicklungen 
in Recht und Technik die GPLv3 erst erforderlich gemacht haben, 
bedeutet dies, dass die Entwicklungen wie auch die Änderungen in der 
GPL für den damaligen Urheber als Lizenzgeber noch nicht erkennbar 
waren.


   Damit wäre aber möglicherweise eine damalige Zustimmung zur 
heutigen Lizenzänderung unwirksam, was zur Folge hätte, dass alle 
damaligen und bisherigen Programmierer als Miturheber eines 
GPLv2-Programms einem Wechsel zu den GPLv3-Bestimmungen erneut und 
ausdrücklich zustimmen müssten. Das könnte bei freier Software mit 
einer Vielzahl von Beteiligten schwierig bis unmöglich werden.

 Ich würde eine Ausreißerkorrektur ausschließlich um einen festen
 Mittelwert eines lokalen Punktes ziehen.

Man braucht nicht unbedingt lokale Punkte und Mittelwerte, aber lokales 
Vorwissen (für geeignete Werte von lokal) und evtl. entsprechende Extrema.

Wenn ich weiß, dass es in Werl keinen Steinbruch gibt, kann ich für eine
Höhenkarte von Werl dicht beieinander liegende Höhenpunkte ausgleichen.
Wenn sie 50 m entfernt auf der Karte entfernt liegen und 40 Höhenmeter 
auseinander, kann das nicht sein und einer der Messwerte ist unglaubwürdig.
Wenn diese Punkte 40 m entfernt auf einem Track liegen, erregen schon 
10 Höhenmeter Differenz Verdacht. 

In Werl. In Luxemburg ist das schon ein ganz anderer Schnack.

 
 Unter 20 Meter Endhöhengenauigkeit wäre - meiner Meinung nach - die
 Höhenmessung für den Popo.

Für den ermittelten Wert schon (für den einzelnen Messwert nicht, auch 
wenn der ein sehr geringes Gewicht in der Höhenschätzung hätte), aber 
für Punkte weit ab von Messpunkten kann das natürlich passieren.

 Hallo Community,
 
 ich habe gerade gesehen, dass die Bezirksregierung Köln (ehem. LVermA
 NRW) folgende, beliebte Produkte eingestellt hat:
 
 Top10NRW, Top50NRW, Historika25 sowie die gedruckten Wander-, Freizeit-
 und historischen Karten

TOP50NRW ist doch eine CD, oder nicht? Was ist mit den normalen topographischen
Karten?

Was mit den topographischen Karten für die Kreise? Als ich in NRW gewohnt habe,
waren die vorne weiß.

 
 Im Mittelpunkt stehen jetzt Plot-on-Demand und halt die digitalen
 Karten.
 
 Toll ... ich laufe ungerne mit einem 170 g/m² Tintenstrahlplot rum.
 Dreimal gefaltet und einmal nass geworden und das Ding kann in die
 Tonne.

Da gibt es noch ein echtes Problem beim Medienbruch. Die Navigationsfähigkeit
eines Garmin kombiniert mit der Handhabung und Anzeige eines Kindle und ich
könnte vielleicht die gedruckte Karte zuhause lassen. Bis dahin kaufe ich
auch weiter Karten.

Ja. Die TIGER-Daten sind PD; die Strassendatenbank NRW wurde zur freien 
Nutzung ohne Lizenzeinschränkungen zur Verfügung gestellt; Yahoo sagt, 
dass das Abzeichnen der Bilder ihre Rechte nicht beeinträchtigt.

Gegenbeispiele wie die Frida-Daten in Osnabrück gibt es natürlich auch.

Artikel 9 der GPLv2 legt fest, dass die FSF von Zeit zu Zeit neue 
 Versionen der GPL herausgeben darf, die im Detail von früheren 
 Versionen abweichen. Weil die GPL nach deutschem Recht ein Vertrag 
 zwischen allen Urhebern eines Programms und dem Benutzer als 
 Lizenznehmer ist, gelten die allgemeinen Vertragsgrundsätze auch für 
 diese Lizenzvergabe. Einer davon ist der Bestimmtheitsgrundsatz: Ein 
 Vertragspartner darf sich nur zu konkreten oder zumindest hinreichend 
 bestimmbaren Leistungen verpflichten. Ebenso müssen die allgemeinen 
 Vertragsumstände hinreichend konkret feststehen.

Das stimmt so nicht. Die GPL ist ein Vertrag zwischen dem Rechteinhaber 
und dem Nutzer. Von den Entwicklern lässt sich die FSF alle 
Nutzungsrechte übertragen (das geht, sonst gäbe es auch keine 
kommerzielle Softwareindustrie).

Wie die OSMF das regeln will, weiß ich nicht; aber Möglichkeiten gäbe es 
da schon.

 Nochmal clicken. Nochmal nichts. nochmal clicken: Node. Eine

 Hallo,
 
 
   Der Gewichtungsfaktor ist also 1/Fehler. So hab ich das mal gelernt.
 
 
 Das ist schon mal nicht ganz verkehrt.
 
 
 1/Fehler^2 ist aber wohl besser.
 

Kommt drauf an, was Du unter Fehler verstehst. Wenn Du den Fehler des
Mittelwerts meinst, klar.

 
 Wo spielt in Deinen Modellen die Fehlerfortpflanzung eine Rolle?
 
 
 Wenn man da den Fehler des Mittelwertes dazu zählt spielt sie eine Rolle. 

... aber der kommt ja erst hier.

 Auch bei der Interpolation spielt sie eine Rolle.


Richtig. Du interpolierst aus Größen, die ihrerseits fehlerbehaftet sind.

Wenn es aber die Rechenkapazität erlaubt, solltest Du die originalen
Messungen solange wie möglich drin behalten, anstatt früh welche
zusammenzupacken und durch Mittelwert/Varianz wiederzugeben. Die
beteiligten Fehler kann man dann in ein gemeinsames Modell packen.
 
 Im Augenblick suche probiere ich verschiedene Ansätze aus um die Lücken zu 
 schließen. Ohne diesen Schritt kann man das Zeichnen von Höhenlinien 
 vergessen. Auch hier werden die Fehler konsequent mitberechnet.

Wenn jede Höhenlinie ihr eigenes Konfidenzintervall mitbringt, wird es
natürlich sehr fein. Nicht dass man das in einer Straßenkarte dargestellt
haben möchte :-)

Um ganz sicherzugehen schreibt einfach als comment dran, wie es ist

Moin!

Ich wäre stark für b), aber ohne einen layer zu verwenden -
stattdessen sollte man bei den Renderern anklopfen, damit diese
einfach wald über anderen landuse-flächen rendern.

Dasselbe Problem ergibt sich bei Waldflächen, die z.B. in Parks liegen
und dort auch den Park nicht verdrängen, sondern auf derselben Ebene
existieren.

Auch hier wäre ein Multipolygon falsch, weil es den Park in seiner
Ausdehnung beschneidet und ein layer=1 für den Wald wäre falsch, weil
es einfach ein hack für den Renderer ist und das Waldgebiet sich nicht
über dem Park befindet.

und da kommt dann eben etwas wie Zum Datensammler für kommerzielle
Kartenhersteller will ich mich nicht degradieren lassen. (Zitat morjak)
dabei raus.

 Ich habe auf
 
 http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/DE:The_license%2C_where_we_are%2C_where_we%27re_going
 
 mal den Artikel von Januar 2008 (!) übersetzt, der sich gut als Einstieg 
 in die warum eigentlich eine neue Lizenz-Frage eignet. Geht allerdings 
 nicht grad weit über das hinaus, was wir hier eh schon diskutiert haben.

Prima. Das Ding hat schließlich fast historischen Wert. ;-) Die Leute im
Forum/IRC/Twitter/sonstwo haben hier schließlich nicht mitgelesen, und
besonders strukturiert ist so eine Mailinglisten-Diskussion ja auch nicht.

[Talk-de] Verwendung von Openstreetmap ohne Quellenangabe

2009-02-28 Thread malenki
Im irc-Channel wurde gerade diese Link genannt:
http://wri-irg.org/de/node/6723#comment-364
Die dort verlinkte Karte dürfte sehr wahrscheinlich mit OSM-Daten
erstellt worden sein, ein Hinweis darauf fehlt.

Der erste Kommentar stammt von mir.
