What urls dont work? let me take a random one. from this changeset : http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/3351203 McCain Factory : http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/586850476 The url is : http://iaspub.epa.gov/enviro/national_kml.registry_html?p_registry_id=110038753872 This resolves to: A LOCATION IDENTIFIED BY A BROWNFIELDS PILOT/GRANT. LOCATION ADDRESS 22 GARDINER CREEK ROAD, WASHBURN, ME 04786 COUNTY NAME AROOSTOOK http://iaspub.epa.gov/enviro/fii_query_detail.disp_program_facility?p_registry_id=110038753872 Information System ASSESSMENT, CLEANUP AND REDEVELOPMENT EXCHANGE SYSTEM Information System ID 36422 Environmental Interest Type BROWNFIELDS PROPERTY Data Source ACRES Last Updated Date 11/13/2007 Now, if we look at the map, we see that it is misplaced, it is off by some 1-2 km, but if you wanted to find it , you could. First the name is off by one character, GARDNER and not GARDINER, but a fuzzy match would find that. Google places 22 GARDNER CREEK ROAD,WASHBURN,ME at 46.790687,-68.338737 http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=22+GARDNER+CREEK+ROAD+,+WASHBURN,+ME+04786&sll=46.790687,-68.338737&sspn=0.011312,0.027595&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Gardner+Creek+Rd,+Washburn,+Aroostook,+Maine+04786&z=15 But, the only thing that even looks like a factory is we can do more, please report any broken urls to me so we can look at the reason. Also, why the schools are listed? I think because they are in the database : National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) The NCES is the primary federal database for collecting and analyzing data related to education in the United States and other Nations. It is located in the U.S. Department of Education, within the Institute of Education Sciences. For example : http://iaspub.epa.gov/enviro/fii_query_detail.disp_program_facility?p_registry_id=110021997794 NATIONAL CENTER FOR EDUCATION STATISTICS 231170000514 REGULAR SCHOOL NCES 12/30/2006 STATE ID-45204 That would make sense to make sure the schools are not built next to a superfund.... mike _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
