I gave the requested talk yesterday.
During preparatory discussions, it turned out that, while hosted by
IBM, the audience was a W3C working group, Data on the web best
practice. As such, the interest was no so much trees or gas pipes,
but the use of URIs (particularly linked data URIs) in OSM.
Hi everyone
I've had a definite from Andy Mabbett to do this and a possibly from Tom
Chance. At this stage I think it's best to confirm on Andy Mabbett. If
that's OK can Andy pick up on the use cases that have been mentioned here
to get more info from the contributors mentioned? We have a 30 min
Hello,
The mapping of trees is a quite hot topic in OSM and it overlaps with
several other initiatives that involve also non authoritative data as in
citizenscience. I also presented a talk at SOTM in Birmingham about that.
The linking of OSM data to permanent URIs can be seen also from another
Hi Brian,
Ok, I didn't realise Andy had offered off-list.
Here's one bit of work I did mapping trees:

It's also worth reading this report, particularly the section from
paragraph 4.11, which gives some idea
Should add there are known cases where specific trees have been EXCLUDED
from mapping.
The one which comes to mind is the national database of native Black
Poplarshttp://sppaccounts.bsbi.org.uk/content/populus-nigra-1(*Populus
nigra betulifolia*) maintained by the BSBI recorder for the taxon,

Hi everyone
We have an invitation from IBM to present at this meeting- suggested topic
is below. Anyone up for this - either with the topic suggested or with a
suitable alternative?

A few weeks ago, we had a use case webinar with the CIO of the City of Palo
Alto who told us about
I could possibly do this, I've done various projects to do with mapping
trees and know a fair amount about tree and climate change policy. But I'm
not an expert on the underlying OSM data model and API. If anyone wanted to
chip in thoughts on stable URIs I'm all ears.

Interesting application. Since none of the objects in OSM are
guaranteed permanent, I expect the way to do it would be for trees in
OSM to have ref=* which crossreferences some external database (rather
than trying to build a permanent URI scheme pointing at OSM features).
Or maybe the key uri=* -
I dont know that we've mapped any gas lines in the UK although IIRC
Helsinki is festooned with underground infrastructure on OSM. I resisted
mapping the local pipework when the gas main was replaced, although all the
coloured markings are still visible on the street. One thought is this

Thanks for the additional info, Jerry.
I know that councils and utility companies don't know where a lot of old
pipes and cables are, but they must have started to retain details maps and
data of these in the recent past?
It was Southwark, not Lambeth, where I imported the trees, by the way.
Ha, I'd knew Id get it wrong about which London Borough.
We dont always delete old data in OSM:
