Hi, Below is a possible use-case scenario we are planning to use OSM and walking-papers [1].
A rural health organization deploys community health workers to monitor household/individual health issues within far flung communities. They want to develop a an internal geospatial dbase of its beneficiaries as well as community resources. The org have very limited IT resources and intends to use open source and open data in their offline "GIS". I see the potential of using walking papers as a good facility to conduct resource mapping and household monitoring. They can print out wp and annotate the map during field visits. They can then scan, upload and download the rectified scans to update their database using QGIS. The GIS person then updates their own database and maybe add a few roads, trails and other community resources in OSM. Now for my question [2]: 1. Some data coming from wp prints will not be included in OSM either for privacy or non-relevance to osm data. Is this OK with the existing and future license? 2. Because they used wp and osm to extract locations that will be related to org database, should it comply with the with the share-alike provision? I appreciate other ideas on how to implement this. [1] I know that it is possible to do everything in-house (wp and osm software are open source anyway), but the organization have very limited IT resources. [2] Probably in legal list but I'm asking anyway :) -- cheers, maning ------------------------------------------------------ "Freedom is still the most radical idea of all" -N.Branden wiki: http://esambale.wikispaces.com/ blog: http://epsg4253.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
