Re: [Talk-in] Tagging VCBs

To me this looks like a variation of a dam or weir while of course it is not one of these. It almost certainly needs a new tag. I think it may be worth asking this question in the general forum. On 22 May 2018 at 05:23, Jaisen Nedumpala wrote: > This too: > >

Re: [Talk-in] Importing data to osm using python

hi It depends on what your data is. For any quantity of data generated externally, you should first read https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines and follow the guidelines there. Otherwise there is a strong likelihood of the change being reverted. For the practicalities of using

Re: [Talk-in] Tagging service roads of National Highways

hi It definitely should not be trunk_link. The advice at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Frontage_road is that it should be tagged as a minor road as compared to the major road. The tagging level should depend on its function in local connectivity i.e. how important it is in connecting local

Re: [Talk-in] Large number of damaging edits in India

Some of these editors have been active again. While most of their edits seem to be useful, some of the data is wrong, and some edits have been destructive. They do not respond to changeset comments. The areas of activity include Mysore and Bangalore cities (I've not checked any others). It would

Re: [Talk-in] Administrative Boundary

In response to why the boundary line is not visible, I'm not sure but the lines I have seen are just marked as 'boundary=adminstrative', nothing else. e.g. for way 433778075. Also most boundaries are marked as a relation, not as a way. And then the relation should be named. You can look at the

Heinz_V has made relevant comments in a forum post at http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=17851=3. I've not been paying attention to most road / route relations, but I understand that there has been a coherent mapping of national highways in India, mostly due to him, which has now been

Re: [Talk-in] Seeking advice for tree mapping using OSM

For a reliable database of trees, I assume you are keeping your own data as well. OSM is not the best place to use as a data store, like wikipedia anything you add or change may get improved, made worse, or deleted. All the main keys are listed at

Re: [Talk-in] Automating OSM translation into Indic languages

Re transliterations of proper nouns, these would not always be appropriate surely. Tamil for the town generally called Dharmapuri or equivalent in most other languages would (I believe) transliterate as Tharmapuri? The wiki is saying that it would be a bad idea to have multiple transliterations -

Re: [Talk-in] classification for rural roads

If the roads you are mapping connect two villages / local population centres, then it should be sufficient to tag them as tertiary roads, (with the lane number information if you have it). That usage reflects the original meaning outside OSM of 'tertiary road', (similarly secondary roads connected

Copying coordinates is of course plainly wrong without the owner's authority. However any published data can be used as a reference and as a check. Bing maps gives us much of the information necessary for mapping, but identification of features is a separate matter. If the pwd data is being used

Re: [Talk-in] Relation tags for archaeological sites

I'd suggest some research first before settling on style=hoysala. Use of 'style' may possibly conflict with other uses of the word. And similar questions may have been discussed before. I see that there is a shelved discussion at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:building:architecture See

Re: [Talk-in] Relation tags for archaeological sites

Why would you want to do this? I understand that there is a logical relation between these temples, but I can't see that there is any mapping relation that is relevant to OSM and its renderers. Whereas for instance in a multipolygon with holes (islands in a lake) there is a clear relation. On 11

Re: [Talk-in] Mapping in Kannada

This used to happen for me with JOSM on Mandriva 2010; the only Indian script that was visible there was Devanagari. With JOSM on Mageia 2, the Kannada is visible, so it may be that you need to update Ubuntu or wait for a newer version. However the Kannada text is scaled badly into the text boxes

Can you point me to the definition of a city in the MDDS designations because I cannot find it? Can we agree that if any such designation is changed from an existing one, that the justification should be included. Again I would ask that you consider using a tag. Census2011;town or similar, which

Re: [Talk-in] Classifying places - cities, towns and villages

I don't really understand this reasoning, except that it seems to state the idea that cities in India have to be really big and important to be called cities. In practice of course the term 'city' is used as it is everywhere else, to refer to a certain sized settlement, somewhat inconsistently.
