Hi,
I am the developer who works on a number of products including OSM
Analysis
for ITO.
I am slightly confused about making the OS Locator box a dashed box
if the
not:name tag is present. When we do the processing if any street is
found
with the not:name tag matching an OS Locator street then these should
not be
flagged in the stats nor should they be drawn on the map. Are you saying
that this is not the case and they are still appearing? If this is
true then
possibly there is a bug that I may want to address (we are usually a day
behind the updated planet file so possibly its something to do with
that?)
With regard to getting the figures down (in slight fear of being
flamed as I
am a very novice mapper) - with apostrophes, if the road sign has an
apostrophe then I would say the apostrophe should be in OSM and if it
is not
then it is correct to flag it as a difference. However if the road
sign does
not have an apostrophe and OS Locator does then probably the road should
have a not:name tag added with the apostrophe version of the name. This
would remove any apostrophe issues.
Shane,
great work on your OSM analysis tools.
My recollection of the discussion on this list in early June was that
"apostrophe" differences would not be tagged with not:name as this
might have a tendency to flood the not:name reports with minor issues.
It was also suggested (by me I'll admit) that on the ITO tiles that
differences due solely to apostrophes could be marked just in one pale
colour, so they could quickly and easily be distinguished from other
errors.
David
OS have expressed an interest in these anomalies, including apostrophes
that are different which ever way round. It is as much a difference as
any other character missing. I suspect they know the few parts of the
country where they are ignored. I have, therefore, been tagging
apostrophe anomalies with not:name =* like any other.
As to the suggested colour changes I like the ITO tiles just as they are.
