Re: [Talk-GB] University of Northampton new campus - mapper required

[Dan S]

Thank you for the prompt to give good advice, but I don't feel i can
choose a single example as canonical (I don't know the extent to which
there's consensus) - I hope that the general idea, that the wiki
advice looks good, can suffice.

Best
Dan

Indeed. I wouldn't use Oxford as an example. I *definitely* wouldn't 
look at Cambridge where one individual went off on his own. Still unsure 
why it's being tolerated.


I disagree with Warin. Pointing out pitfalls to avoid is as useful as 
recommendations to follow.

I don't think UK uni tagging is yet consistent across towns, but the 
wiki's advice looks broadly ok imho!

[Warin]

Rather than point as to what not to do .. it would be best to point to 
what to do.


So where is the 'best' OSM mapped university? Use that as an example of 
what to do.

I hope this is not too much of a side-issue, but: one hopeful request -
plase don't use amenity=university for each object in the campus, as
was done for some other universities.

I don't think UK uni tagging is yet consistent across towns, but the wiki's
advice looks broadly ok imho!

Re: [Talk-GB] MapthePaths & Lancashire

[Andrew Black]

I am pondering a similar but simpler question. I would like to add a table
listing each authority at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:prow_ref
describing the conventions used.
With a subpage if there is a lot of info such as Toby's list for Lancashire

I have added the first prow_ref for Bromley (outer london and not OGL). As
there are no parishes, I have adopted the same convention as Croydon which
is  *LB Bromley FP 120B*

[Talk-GB] University of Northampton new campus - mapper required

[David Earl]

The University of Northampton is opening a new campus very soon between between
Bedford Road and New South Bridge Road. They would like to get a detailed
campus map onto OSM as soon as possible, ideally by August 1. I haven't
looked but I'm assuming this would have to be a ground survey as it is all
new buildings so won't be on satellite (though maybe some building
footprints might be), and in any case that wouldn't get down to the level
of access doors, or building occupiers. If copyright permission can be
obtained, I'm guessing they may have plans that could serve part of the job.

They would be open to employing someone to do the surveying, especially as
it has a short timescale. I can't really do it as it's too far from home to
do repeated trips or fit it into my current schedule, otherwise I'd have
jumped at it (I worked with the contact doing Cambridge University maps,
and I'm sending this with her permission).

If anyone is interested, please contact Amy Moore in their estates services
