Agree



I think we need assurance from Shell's legal department (or ay least
management we believe to be reasonably aware of licencing issues.)

An analogy  I was  once in a confused situation when I was volunteering
for org A.  An employee org B (sponsoring the project) said org C had said
it was ok to do print extracts their maps.  I suspect they had permission
to publish certain extract on website.  Org A printed extracts with no
attribution.As a volunteer my concerns were ignored.

Chinese whispers (is there a better phrase) are common in large
organisations.


I realise my example is a bit abstract but I don't want to break confidence.

Re: [Talk-GB] Reception desks

2017-11-16 Thread Warin
One person raised the interesting possibility of  the 'reception desk' 
being 'staffed' remotely .. with a video terminal. I suppose that one 
receptionist could serve several points for the one organisation.

In that situation the 'desk' may be a shelf.

Personally I would be happy with 'reception desks' being a simple node 
rather than a way or area.


---
Reception area or waiting area ? Not too worried about that or what it 
is called. To me the most important thing is where to go as a visitor 
for first contact.
Once that is done I would think further instruction would be gained.  So 
I am not too worried about mapping it. So I leave it up to those concerned?

Ah, hadn't thought of that. So would you say that a reception desk is 
a staffed information facility while a reception area is more like a 
waiting room (though it may have a reception desk within or beside it)?


In which case there would be reason to use both tags when mapping the 
same overall facility.

Re: [Talk-GB] Importing Shell fuel stations

2017-11-16 Thread Ilya Zverev

Hi everyone,

Thank you Brian for pushing this forward. The ongoing discussion (and 
reminders from a NavAds employee) have made me start developing the 
auditing tool for imported data. Hopefully next week I'll give you all a 
link where you can check every imported object one by one, and alter the 
data.


Harry's visualisation was merged into my map. Alas, colours there do not 
work as you think they do: blue means modified existing objects, green — 
new nodes to be added to OSM. Tracking the progress with the 
visualization would be complicated, since we don't have any means to 
store your verdicts on each point.


As for the questions about license and location quality, I answered 
these in May:


https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-gb/2017-May/020216.html

Robert, I don't have official branch numbers from Shell. Identifiers 
that are being added in "ref:navads_shell" will be used for updating the 
data, to skip the matching step.


Thanks,
Ilya

Anybody asked Spar if we can use THEIR list of 1054 forecourts to add

That sounds good to me. The one issue I have with the import though is
the reference numbers being proposed. As I think someone already noted
in the previous discussion, these seem to belong to the third-party
rather than being an official branch number assigned by Shell. So I
don't think we should include these numbers in OSM. On the other hand,
having some form of id/key would certainly be useful in terms of
future updates to the data. I don't know exactly what Shell do, but
I've seen what I assume are branch reference numbers on display at a
couple of Shell petrol stations (I think in conjunction with the "fill
& go code" mobile payment system identifying each pump as a branch
number followed by a pump number). See e.g.
http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/248030653 Assuming these branch
numbers do exist and are expected to be stable, I think we should be
using them instead.

And +1 to Adam Snape's comments about licensing.

Robert.

Re: [Talk-GB] Importing Shell fuel stations

2017-11-16 Thread Adam Snape
Hi,

Most of that 'strawman' suggestion seems sensible and entirely the right
kind of way for the community to help companies add useful data to the map.
I do however, disagree with the penultimate point. I do not belive that we
should be automatically importing this kind of data. An omission is much
more easily noticed and solved than incorrect imported data.

To add another angle to this discussion. If we are to use these kinds of
datasets in the future  I believe we need to be very clear about the
licencing. All we have is Ilya's word (and I don't dispute it but it is
hardly verifiable) that Shell has instructed a third party to map its
petrol stations on various platforms using a dataset it supplied. Going
forward I believe that we ought to have explicit written permission or
confirmation of an open licence from the copyright holder before
considering importing datasets. Openstreetmap is different to many online
mapping platforms companies might add information to because it involves
the perpetual free public release of all information entered. Has Shell
explicitly consented to this information being released under the ODBL or
compatible licence? I also wonder how Shell obtained its co-ordinate
information and whether we can be reasonably confident that no other
organisation could claim copyright in this information as a derived work.

Adam
