Re: [Talk-GB] 2016 first quarterly project:Schools

Hi all, Some great ideas and tools already shared and only January 3rd! This made me think I should set up a wiki page but I have been beaten to it. I've expanded on the page to add links to all the resources being discussed here. Page at: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/UK_Quarterly_Projects

Re: [Talk-GB] 2016 first quarterly project:Schools

Hi BZ I put all other data relating to the whole school (name, address, website etc) on the boundary way. Many organisations such as schools, universities & hospitals etc have distinctive departments. These can be identified by adding names to each building. Dave F. On 03/01/2016 13:40,

Re: [Talk-GB] 2016 first quarterly project:Schools

Generally I will place the name tag on the school grounds and not on the buildings. This allows individual buildings to be given names, if they have them: e.g., Science Block, Nursery. A couple of complications: - Campus sites: several schools share facilities, particularly playing fields.

Re: [Talk-GB] 2016 first quarterly project:Schools

Thanks. That makes sense and avoids the name duplication. On 03/01/16 14:31, SK53 wrote: > Generally I will place the name tag on the school grounds and not on > the buildings. This allows individual buildings to be given names, if > they have them: e.g., Science Block, Nursery. > > A couple of

Re: [Talk-GB] Mapping Meet Abbots Bromley 30th Dec

I would also add my thanks. I've added the footpaths etc around Colton where I went after lunch. There are more building to be added to the village but the Bing imagery isn't that good. I've not looked at the walk we did in the morning yet so there might be a few more details to add north

Great idea Robert! Any idea why it is not matching Gravesend Grammar School (at DA12 2PR) which is in OSM with amenity=school on way http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/142625579 ? I have noticed several other schools in Gravesend and surroundings which as far as I can see are in OSM and not being

[Talk-GB] UKOSM or OSMUK or OSMGB proposed aims

Hi everyone I've tried to summarise what we discussed on our initial concall and what Rob's survey revealed into a high-level and short set of aims. It's an initial draft and open for comment before our next concall (TBA before end of Jan). I've included for comparison the aims from those

Re: [Talk-GB] 2016 first quarterly project:Schools

Aah, I see... I didn't expect to find it there! St Josephs is in OSM, but as a node [1], which are not included as yet. I think some kind of matching on the name is probably going to be important. Many schools are also tagged with address data, so addr:postcode may also be a good matching key -

Re: [Talk-GB] 2016 first quarterly project:Schools

Hi Rob et al., I've created a quick umap instance showing school points within a school polygon. If anyone can tell me how to remove the bit of html which makes the url to the polygon not work, do let me know.
