  <h1 id="draft-for-comments-please-do-not-treat-as-a-formal-proposal">DRAFT FOR COMMENTS: Please do not treat as a formal proposal!</h1>

  <h2 id="introduction">Introduction</h2>

  <p>For as long as I’ve been a participant on the OpenStreetMap project, the subject of what to tag a ‘State Park’ in the US has been fraught with controversy. (In some areas, there are equally controversial facilities named ‘county park’, ‘town park’ and so on with similar structure but administered by a still lower level of government.)</p>

  <p>In this post, I try to find a common thread that can hopefully be used as a common foundation for all parties discussing the issue.  Some of the specific examples given will be New York-centric. I apologize in advance for the fact. I am a native New Yorker, and I use examples with which I am familiar. I strongly prefer to map in places where I have boots on the ground - by which I usually mean literal boots on the literal ground. I have trodden the soil of all the places that I use as examples.</p>

  <h2 id="proposal-summary">Proposal summary</h2>

  <p>State Parks should, as a ‘lowest common denominator’ be tagged with 
  <code>boundary=protected_area protect_class=21</code>
  (This combination would be the minimum necessary for rendering. Ordinarily, a state park
  would also have some combination such as 
  <code>protection_object=recreation protection_title="State Park"</code></p>

  <h2 id="background">Background</h2>

  <p>One issue driving much of the controversy behind State Park tagging is that none of the ‘land use’ terms really fits. Many State Parks in the US are multipurpose recreational facilities. Portions of them may fit well with <code>leisure=park</code> (often understood to be a human-sculpted landscape crafted for visual enjoyment), <code>landuse=recreation_ground</code>, <code>leisure=nature_reserve</code>, <code>leisure=golf_course</code>, <code>leisure=camp_site</code>, <code>tourism=museum</code>, and many other things. This is because a common pattern is that a State Park will usually be a multipurpose facility intended to draw residents into outdoor pursuits. A typical one include a section that is preserved in a natural state for pursuits such as hiking and birdwatching, as well as sections with sport pitches, swimming or boating facilities, picnic areas, perhaps a campground, perhaps a band shell or amphitheatre, concessions, playgrounds, perhaps a golf course, perhaps a section reserved for summer youth programs (day or residential). Museums on site are not too uncommon. Some of the larger ones host restaurants, rental cabins and inns. The developed parts of the park can be referred to as ‘front country’ facilities, in contrast with the ‘back country’, which is nearly devoid of such comforts, offering hiking trails, a wilderness-like experience - and very little else.</p>

  <p>Some tagging purists will say that only these individual facilities ought to be mapped: that a State Park needs to be carved up into the areas that host the disparate activities and all need to be mapped separately. This approach is probably the most formally correct. Nevertheless, it has a few  drawbacks. Chief among these is that a State Park does have an existence as a whole. There is an object out there in the world, which ordinarily will have signs directing travelers to it and announcing its presence, whose name is familiar to not only those in its immediate vicinity but those in the broader community that it serves. Speaking about the ‘Trailside Zoo’ or the ‘Fort Clinton Museum’ to a Downstate New Yorker is likely to get you a blank look. Adding, ‘in Bear Mountain State Park’ will then make the object suddenly recognizable. It is the park that is  known by name and boundaries, not the facilities within it. Requiring that the parts be mapped instead of the whole also gives rise to an attitude that the facility must be micro-mapped in order to be mapped at all. The common mapper pattern of ‘fill in the map with broad brush strokes, then paint in the details’ does not work if there is no colour that may go on the broad brush!</p>

  <h2 id="previous-disputed-approaches">Previous disputed approaches</h2>

  <p>This desire to tag the whole facility leads mappers to force-fit tagging that is at best controversial and at worst inappropriate. This has typically sorted out into several things.</p>

  <ol>
    <li>
      <p><code>leisure=park</code> This term is frequently used <em>sensu lato</em> by mappers to denote any government-run facility for outdoor recreation, not just for the sculptured landscape that many other mappers expect <em>sensu stricto</em>.  This particular tag is used widely enough that one must conclude that it is ‘broadly accepted’ by a <em>subset</em> of the community. Nevertheless, the argument that it is a tag misuse is a compelling one, however broadly the tag has been applied. The tagging certainly feels wrong for a facility such as Bethpage State Park in New York, which is largely taken up by a golf course!</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p><code>leisure=nature_reserve</code> Since State Parks often contain some ground that is left in essentially a natural state (the amount may range from a few hectares to hundreds of square kilometres), and since one aspect of a State Park is protection from development, this tagging is at least plausible for many of them. Nevertheless, it is surely not right for the ‘front country’ portions such as recreation grounds and campgrounds. ‘Nature reserve’ can be applied to a lot of things, but for most State Parks it is either being stretched to be breaking point or else woefully non-specific.</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p><code>boundary=national_park</code> This tag actually appears to fit a few State-run facilities, at least if one takes a broad reading of the <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dnational_park" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">definition on the Wiki</a>: ‘a relatively large area of land declared by a government […], to be set aside for human recreation and enjoyment, as well as the protection of the natural environment and/or cultural heritage of an area.’  I make the case <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/ke9tv/diary/390233" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">elsewhere</a> that there are at least a couple of State facilities for which no other tagging really fits. The two that I discuss in particular, the Adirondack and Catskill Parks in New York, arguably were the prototype for the US National Park System. They (along with Yellowstone, which became a ‘national’  park because Wyoming was not yet a state, and Yosemite, which was a State Park before being deeded to the Federal government in 1906) are arguably the prototypes of the US National Park system. They bear all the indicia of a national park with the exception of which sovereign has designated them. I happen to believe that a case could be advanced that a few of New York’s State Parks (enormous ones like Allegany or Harriman, or spectacular ones like Watkins Glen or Niagara Falls) could be marked with the <code>boundary=national_park</code> label, but I have not done so. Part of the reason is that it would open the floodgates to a torrent of mistagging. There is no way that a suburban recreation facility like Hempstead Lake or Nyack Beach would fit the <code>boundary=national_park</code> designation other than by stretching the meaning of the tag beyond the breaking point. It is certainly not universally applicable to State Parks.</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p><code>park:type=*</code> in combination with one or another of the above tags has been proposed, and gained some traction, but is not in truly wide use. Its use has also faced heated controversy. The tag was an early attempt to communicate the ideas that we now have codified with <code>ownership=*</code> and <code>protection_title=*</code>. Its free-form nature, the lack of documentation in the Wiki until recently, and the invented values that it accumulated as a result, meant that it failed to offer clarity. The newer tagging schemes have largely supplanted it, and <code>park:type=*</code> should be viewed as close to being deprecated.</p>
    </li>
  </ol>

  <h2 id="a-new-look-at-the-problem">A new look at the problem</h2>

  <p>With all of these ideas essentially proving a failure in the general case, it’s necessary, I think, to step back and ask:</p>

  <p><em>Is there any attribute that all State Parks have in common, that pretty much all mappers would agree on, even as other attributes might vary widely?</em></p>

  <p><em>Is there any existing, more-or-less established, tagging that could represent that attribute?</em></p>

  <p>When I look at the problem from that perspective, I realize - quite surprisingly - that there just may be an answer to those two questions that could establish at least a fundamental, widely agreed (if not widely implemented) foundation on which to build. That attribute is <em>protection.</em> One indicator that a State Park almost certainly has is that it is protected from development to preserve its value to the community as a recreational resource. I would therefore argue <code>boundary=protected_area</code> is a tag that all might be persuaded to accept. I don’t claim that it could possibly resolve the controverses over ‘what is a park,’ ‘what is a nature reserve,’ or ‘what is a national park.’ It surely cannot. But if there is even one single tag which all can accept as ‘not wrong, not a falsehood’, then there is something that mappers can use, secure that it can persist beneath the cacophony of arguments over what else to call the thing - arguments in which, I argue above, none of the proponents is entirely right.</p>

  <p>I anticipate the counterargument, “How can you call a place that has been cleared for playing fields, had a pond excavated and dammed for swimming, and even had a hotel built on it, a ‘protected area’?” I believe that argument is founded in the idea that all ‘protected areas’ are what the Wiki page calls <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dprotected_area#Nature-protected-area" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">nature protected area</a> (<em>i.e.,</em> ‘protect_class=1a’ through ‘protect_class=7’, plus the special classes 97, 98 and 99). The typical State Park is <em>not</em> one of these. Farther down the page, however, we see another major classification: <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dprotected_area#Social-protected-area" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">social protected area</a> - and within that, <code>protect_class=21</code> ‘Community life’, with <em>recreation</em> being stated as one of the protection objects that may be recognized within the class. The typical State Park is indeed protected for the sake of community life, and reserved for public recreation. “Parks and recreation”, indeed, is a typical title for the government department that administers them. They may not have their natural landscape protected in any way - indeed, they may be an entirely artificial landscape. (Indeed, (Riverbank State Park)[<a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/118524694" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/118524694</a>] is built entirely on the roof of Manhattan’s massive sewage treatment plant.) But the areas are protected in the sense that there will be intense political repercussions if anyone were to propose strip mining them, building condos, opening a shopping mall, or condemning them for a freeway. They are indeed ‘protected for community life’, with the object of ‘recreation’.</p>

  <h2 id="proposed-tagging">Proposed tagging</h2>

  <p>I would therefore propose that a ‘lowest common denominator’ acceptable tagging for State Parks would be:</p>

  <p><code>boundary=protected_area</code>
  <code>protect_class=21</code></p>

  <p>This pair would be the minimum to determine the rendering. Usual additions would include:</p>

  <p><code>protection_object=recreation</code>
  <code>protection_title=State Park</code>
  <code>operator=State of XXX</code> (or <code>Commonwealth of XXX</code> for Kentucky, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Virginia)
  <code>site_ownership=state</code>
  <code>protected=perpetual</code></p>

  <p>together with whatever other common tagging (<code>name=*</code>, <code>wikipedia:en=*</code>, <code>website=*</code>, <code>opening_hours=*</code>, etc.) is deemed appropriate.</p>

  <p>Each of these tags represents a fact that can be established objectively - in fact, the first group is practically implied by the name, ‘State Park’ (ignoring anomalies such as <code>Donald J. Trump State Park</code> which is best described as <code>landuse=brownfield</code>).</p>

  <h2 id="current-state-of-the-tag-usage">Current state of the tag usage</h2>

  <p>The <code>protect_class=21</code> tag is already in use. As of this writing, taginfo shows 571 features with the tag.</p>

  <p>This statement, is however, somewhat disingenuous, because virtually all of the features with the tag have it because I put it there! I did so because I was editing the features for other reasons, and decided to follow my reading of the Wiki’s <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dprotected_area" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">boundary=protected_area</a> guidelines. The only public discussion that this <code>protect_class</code> has received in my edits is that when I proposed reimporting the <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/NYS_DEC_Lands" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">NYS DEC Lands</a> shapefile, I proposed that protection class for State Multiple Use Area, State Fishing Access Area, the corridors protecting recreational trails, and the easements for access to landlocked parcels open to public recreation. There were few if any comments on this particular aspect of the proposal. I also at one point conducted an audit of New York’s State Parks and State Historic Sites, establishing some uniform tagging (for instance, directing the <code>website=*</code> on all of them to the appropriate page on <a href="https://parks.ny.gov/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">https://parks.ny.gov/</a>. I added the <code>protected_area</code> tagging to these at the same time. (I also added <code>protect_class=22</code> for State Historic Sites.) Using taginfo to answer that question is for me, therefore, simply listening to an echo.</p>

  <p>With that said, adopting the tag will give rise to extremely little conflict. Using Overpass Turbo, for instance, I see the tag on only three objects in Europe: a church in Boguslav, Ukraina, and tiny parcels of open space in Athens and the Balearic Islands. There are also a handful of uses in North America outside New York that all appear to be compatible with the proposed scheme. In short, this portion of the tag space appears, if you will pardon the pun, to be a green field for future development.</p>

  <h2 id="rendering">Rendering</h2>

  <p><code>protect_class=21</code> is not one of the classes that is currently rendered in OSM-Carto, (which handles only classes 1a through 6, if memory serves). I am optimistic that if this proposal gains traction, eventually the rendering will follow.  What I think might work for is an appearance similar to what is used for a nature reserve, except that instead of the deep green highlight on the interior side of the boundary line, a pale green highlight suggestive of the infill of <code>leisure=park</code> (<code>#c8facc</code>) might be appropriate. It is important to note that this suggestion comes from a colour-blind mapper, so someone with an artist’s eye had better review it! I am advised by the OSM-Carto maintainers that if this tagging becomes popular, the change is a relatively simple one to make.</p>

  <p>As a more problematic side issue, OSM-Carto does not at present render <code>boundary=protected_area</code>, <code>boundary=national_park</code> or <code>boundary=aboriginal_lands</code> when they appear on simple closed ways. This is a <a href="https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/1141" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">known issue</a>. Because there is already a <a href="https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/pull/3785" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">pull request</a> with the necessary changes, I am confident that it will be resolved eventually. Nevertheless, it will take longer to fix than simply adding the rendering of class-21 protected areas, because it requires a rebuild of the database that drives the tile server. Since this is an operation that requires months of planning (and significant server downtime), it is contemplated only once every few years - and no such rebuild is scheduled at present. In the meantime, a workaround would be either to make sure that the <code>boundary=protected_area</code> tag appears only on multipolygons (creating a multipolygon comprising only a single polygon if necessary) or forcing the correct rendering by including <code>area=yes</code>.</p>

  <p>In short, the rendering issue is still a bit open. Still, just as we eventually got at least some rendering for <code>boundary=protected_area</code>, I am confident that <code>protect_class=21</code> can follow.</p>

  <h2 id="interim-tagging">Interim tagging</h2>

  <p>As a stopgap measure, until the renderer catches up with this idea, it’s possible to combine the <code>boundary=protected_area</code> tagging with a tag that approximates the land use. As previously mentioned, appropriate tags may include <code>landuse=recreation_ground</code>, <code>leisure=nature_reserve</code>, or <code>leisure=park</code> (or any description of the principal function; <code>leisure=camp_site</code>, <code>leisure=golf_course</code>, or <code>amenity=museum</code> would be good descriptions of some features under the general umbrella of ‘State Park’).</p>

  <p>A necessary intermediate step will be that State Parks (aside from ‘corner cases’ like the ones in <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/ke9tv/diary/390233" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">the earlier diary entry</a>) will have to give up the <code>boundary=national_park</code> tag, in order not to conflict with the incoming <code>boundary=protected_area</code> tag. They, too, can acquire one of the inaccurate tags listed above, in order that they will not disappear from the map  as a result of the tag conflict.</p>

This is one of the largest 19th century limekilns in the country. They built it next to the railway, so that lime could be loaded directly from the kiln onto wagons, and it remained in service for about a century - until shortly after World War II.<br /><br />As I settle into this loop as a fairly regular ride it seems to be getting easier. Is that because it's becoming more familiar, or because I'm getting stronger? I have no idea, but it was a pleasant afternoon, and another seventeen miles bumped my Eddington number for 2019 up by one.

summary:
  <p>No último mês fiz um trabalho de campo na área rural do município de Arcos(MG) para validação de algumas áreas que eu estava em dúvida.</p>

  <p>O campo é uma atividade sempre muito rica que permite encontrar detalhes impossíveis na imagem de satélite. Infelizmente somente eu estou mapeando a área e vai levar um tempo até que eu consiga fazer o maepamento do município da forma mais detalhada possível.</p>

  <p>Esse primeiro campo foi concentrado na parte norte do município, nas áreas próximas ao Rio São Francisco. Foram identificadas os tipos de vegetações e se algumas áreas deveriam ser classificadas como brejo, mangue, ou apenas zona úmida. Foram também identificadas áreas de pasto de gado.</p>

  <p>Utilizei um smartphone para marcar os pontos, o que compromete um pouco a prcisão, mas por se tratar de um campo de reconhecimento daquilo que foi mapeado na imagem de satélite, utilizei pontos de referência das imagens de satélite como pontos de coleta das coordenadas.</p>

  <p>Vou estudar a possibilidade de adiquirir um GPS, usado ou novo para me auxiliar nos próximos trabalhos de campo. Se alguém da comunidade souber me indicar algum equipamento com bom custo benefícios seria de grande ajuda.</p>

  <p>Forte abraço à comunidade OSM</p>

summary:
  <p>When two ways (two railways, or two parts of a motorroad) are close together they start overlapping at some point when going to smaller scale, like railway in this picture:
  <img src="https://i.ibb.co/TTq600J/railway-mess.png" alt="Railway mess"></p>

  <p>Cartographic fix for this is to make one way instead of two (or more). One of the simplest ways to do that is to create a buffer and then calculate medial axis (standard functionality of PostGIS):
  <img src="https://i.ibb.co/BBFdD3t/railway-generalisation.png" alt="Way generalisation">
  (here blue lines - initial ways, black one - generalised)</p>

  <p>This way the map is more legible, and for vector tiles - it is smaller - therefore faster to download and gives less load on cpu on client side:

  <p>NOTE: The same generalisation operation has to be done with roads.</p>

  <p>Como he contado en las entradas de blog pasadas estamos en proceso de hacer el mapa del Darien Caribe Colombiano debido a la crisis migratoria que se presenta en la zona.
  En este proceso y debido a diferentes conversaciones con la comunidad nos pidieron del favor de indagar si los mapas que hacemos con OpenStreetMap pueden ser una buena fuente de datos para realizar la legalización de predios antes el IGAC en Colombia.
  Esta pregunta nos ha llevado a acompañar varios ejercicios de medición de predios utilizando herramientas como GPS, aplicaciones como OSMTracker y OSMAnd para recoger datos.
  Uno de los retos que tenemos es poder lograr la precisión necesaria para que la entidad reciba los datos.</p>

However, as I drove north the sky went dark and there was a heavy shower of rain. Instead of stopping near Ford, and getting soaked as I worked north, I thought it better to carry on driving until the rain stopped, then work south.<br /><br />The rain had pretty much stopped by the time I reached Norham. From there I followed NCN68 south, to Etal then back. It was a nice ride, with a particularly lovely section following the bank of the River Till.<br /><br />In a few days time I'll complete my first two months back on the bike.  Fourteen miles today takes the total distance past 200 miles. That doesn't sound much, but the air was humid and the landscape crinkly enough to make it feel like more. And the extended journey meant that I got home later than I planned, but as content as I hoped (and I didn't get soaked).

summary:
  <h2 id="the-import">The Import</h2>

  <p>Yesterday I <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/NaPTAN/Aberdeen" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">performed an import</a> of NaPTAN bus stop data for the Aberdeen area. The motivations behind this import were:</p>

  <ol>
    <li>To greatly increase the coverage of bus stop data in the area.</li>
    <li>To get some experience importing data (hence the very specific and simple scope of this import).</li>
    <li>To establish a method of importing NaPTAN data since the original import was abandoned (and all of this very useful data has been sitting unused).</li>
  </ol>

  <h2 id="results">Results</h2>

  <h3 id="increased-stop-coverage">Increased Stop Coverage</h3>

  <p>The import changsets can be found by looking at user <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/naptan_import_aberdeen" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">naptan_import_aberdeen</a>.</p>

  <p>In total there were 63 regions of the Aberdeen area imported as separate changesets. Across those a total of 1357 bus stops were imported - of which 875 (64%) were new and 482 (36%) were conflated with existing stops.</p>

  <p>The <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/72261085" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Aberdeen</a> region (the city centre) had the most stops with 154 total. While the <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/72266357" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Countesswells</a> and <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/72272177" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Footdee</a> regions tied for the least with just 1 stop each.</p>

  <h3 id="experience-gained">Experience Gained</h3>

  <p>I think the most valuable experience I’ve gained from this import was in consulting the community and following the <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">import guidelines</a>. It’s quite daunting when you first see the guidelines and was honestly a little off-putting for me personally because I’ve been fatigued by aspects of the OSM community in the past. Thankfully, the UK community are quick to respond on the mailing lists and very helpful and constructive.</p>

  <p>If I hadn’t consulted the mailing lists then I wouldn’t have known how useful and important some of the NaPTAN data fields are. Originally I was of the mindset that only the <code>naptan:AtcoCode</code> was necessary to import since it establishes a link between the OSM data and the NaPTAN data. However, after actually performing the import I can already say that the other fields helped me to distinguish between stops in close proximity with the same name.</p>

  <h3 id="method-established">Method Established</h3>

  <p>Overall I’m pretty satisfied with the method I followed. Converting the desired data into OSM XML was trivial using the <a href="https://github.com/SilentSpike/NaPTAN-Import-Script" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">script I wrote</a> and it would be very simple to extend the script to do more if needed.</p>

  <p>The conflation process is what’s really of interest though as it was the main challenge of this import. I decided rather than trying to automate the process it would be more beneficial to conflate the imported data manually in JOSM. After working with it, I can say that NaPTAN data as a whole is pretty accurate. However, there were a couple of situations I ran into which required extra care.</p>

  <p>The most common situation is that NaPTAN stops can be displaced from existing nodes by more than 50 meters. Using the JOSM conflation plugin as specified in my import plan, the default distance setting for conflation is 30 meters. I found that bumping this up to 50 meters caught the majority of conflations, but still wasn’t perfect. As seen in the centre of the image below, two of the stops on Garthdee Road are not matched to their corresponding existing nodes (where blue arrows show matches).</p>

  <p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/qtrSMYO.png" alt="Example"></p>

  <p>I wouldn’t ever advise relying on the plugin alone and recommend always manually scanning through all of the stops to look for possible duplicates or other issues. My process evolved into:</p>

  <ol>
    <li>Run conflation matching.</li>
    <li>Toggling the import data layer visibility on/off to check for unmatched stops near to existing nodes (because the data is on different layers it’s easy to spot any nearby bus stop nodes coloured grey).</li>
    <li>Zooming to those stops and manually checking if there should be a match. Most can be determined by aerial imagery or a duplicate name because if all other stops nearby are matched, then the remaining stop must match. For further comparison looking at the <code>naptan:Indicator</code> tag helps since it tells you where the stop is relative to a nearby street/feature.</li>
    <li>Re-position either the new data or old data to the correct position so that they’re near together and will be caught by conflation matching.</li>
    <li>Re-run conflation matching and then go through the actual conflation process.</li>
  </ol>

  <p>Another issue you may have missed in the image above are the two stops furthest west. If you’re paying close attention, you’ll notice that the matched stops are on opposite sides of the road. This is something else to look out for when scanning the stops. It isn’t always an issue because sometimes the NaPTAN data is just off position to the wrong side of the road. However, in this case they were matched incorrectly which was determined by checking the <code>naptan:Indicator</code> field (again the fix is to move the data closer to the stop it should match before re-running conflation matching).</p>

  <h2 id="looking-forward">Looking Forward</h2>

  <p>I’d hope that the completion of this import inspires other areas of the UK to make use of NaPTAN data too. It’s by no means perfect, but once the data is there it becomes much easier to see the imperfections and fix them compared to creating the data from scratch (and even with imperfections it’s still considerably accurate). I would suggest that being local to the area is very beneficial to this import process since it makes conflation easier when you’re familiar with where stops are already.</p>

  <p>The NaPTAN dataset should only become more accurate in time and so I would like to extend my script to facilitate the possibility for re-imports by matching the <code>naptan:AtcoCode</code> of existing nodes and preemptively conflating the data. Additionally, I’d be curious to investigate importing other types of data from the NaPTAN database.</p>

  <p>Leave a comment or give me a message if you have any questions or thoughts!</p>

summary:
  <p>The last wall maps I generated of Ashgabat and Turkmenistan took a different turn, due to the heavy data requirements involved in a road atlas of the whole country.  I was forced to learn Osmosis and the rudiments of Inkscape to edit SVG files first in order to reduce the volume of data and second to take the Maperitive-generated map and tweak it more easily.  The lessons learned are now posted on the OSM wiki <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_on_Paper/Printing_via_Maperitive,_Inkscape,_and_Osmosis" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">here</a>.  Comments on this tutorial are welcome.</p>

  <p>Working with SVG images has its pros and cons, but on balance I think the map quality is better with this approach.  That said, one can only wish that Inkscape and Osmosis were a bit more intuitive!</p>

summary:
  <p>Depuis mon dernier billet sur le sujet je me suis mis à utiliser le logiciel de manière intensive.
  J’ai eu quelques soucis:
  1. À la frontière allemande, juste de l’autre côté – pas moyen de chopper la carte et donc d’avoir des quêtes.
  2. J’ai mis la carte dans une vue avec un angle (eg pas de par-dessus) et là impossible récupérer des quêtes. :-( J’ai fini par remettre la carte comme il fallait, mais j’ai galéré pour comprendre et trouver.
  3. Les zones des quêtes sont plus larges que les éditions dans ID ou JOSM, par exemple les valeurs de vitesse pour les routes sont imprécises, mais derrière ça force une édition dans josm :p
  4. Enfin j’ai des quêtes auxquelles j’ai déjà répondu qui sont revenues ce matin.</p>

  <p>Mais je confirme ma première impression, pour moi c’est l’application qu’il fallait pour que je contribue de nouveau.</p>

summary:
  <h2 id="more-precisely-the-wgs84-datum-is-not-used-everywhere">More precisely, the WGS84 Datum is not used everywhere.</h2>

  <p>Here is some background:</p>

  <ul>
    <li>
      <p>The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Geodetic_System" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">WGS84</a> Coordinate Reference System uses an ITRF datum, locked with the Earth’s rotation.</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>The tectonic plates we’re living on, are moving, up to 70 to 80 mm/year for the Australian plate, 20 to 25 mm/year for the Eurasian one.</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>The tectonic plates have internal distortions (we do ignore them here)</p>
    </li>
  </ul>

  <p>If you have a very accurate GNSS receiver which shows you WGS84 coordinates, and place it on a survey mark, because this mark moves, you won’t get the same coordinates year after year. If you surveyed a mark in Australia 13 years ago, today’s coordinates are 1 meter off. So, accurate WGS84 coordinates are not accurate at all if you don’t know the epoch, just as a time value is unuseful if you don’t know the time zone.
  Working with dynamic coordinates would be a nightmare for the surveyors. To make their life easier they use a datum associated with their continental plate, locked at a point in time. And for a few decades now, many countries have chosen an ITRF datum and “locked” it at a specific date. With such a datum, the coordinates of survey marks remain the same over the years.</p>

  <ul>
    <li>
      <p>USA is using <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Datum" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">NAD83</a></p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>Australian is using <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geocentric_Datum_of_Australia_1994" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">GDA94</a> (ITRS epoch 1994.0)</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>Europe is using <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Terrestrial_Reference_System_1989" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">ETRS89</a> (ITRS epoch 1993.0)</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>France (in europe) is using <a href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%A9seau_g%C3%A9od%C3%A9sique_fran%C3%A7ais" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">RGF93</a>, a more accurate ETRS89 realization. We consider that RGF93 = ETRS89.</p>
    </li>
  </ul>

  <h2 id="you-could-object-this-is-not-an-osm-problem--we-use-gpx-trace-aerial-imagery-opendata-sets-all-with-wgs84-coordinates">You could object this is not an OSM problem : we use gpx trace, aerial imagery, opendata sets, all with WGS84 coordinates!</h2>

  <ul>
    <li>
      <p>At first, don’t forget that a WGS84 datum without epoch can’t be accurate at a submeter level.</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>Secondly, if you use a standard GNSS receiver, it doesn’t matter, as your accuracy is too low (3 to 5 meters). If you use RTK, like I <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/StephaneP/diary/368656" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">do</a>, your datum is the one used by the base station, and it’s usually plated-fixed.</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>Thirdly, if your aerial imagery has a low resolution like 50cm/pixel, it will be very difficult to see small details.</p>
    </li>
  </ul>

  <p>However, we have more and more high-res imagery. In some places, you can see some survey marks and check the coordinates. Let’s go to Australia, next to the Mount Stromlo Observatory. This <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/6514708097" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">node</a> is a GNSS antenna, part of the <a href="http://www.igs.org/about" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">IGS</a> network.
  You can go to the <a href="http://www.ga.gov.au/ngrs/gnss/ngcp_station_details_from_map.jsp?stationId=43304&amp;oheightno=0&amp;coordId=61778&amp;datum=GDA94&amp;isPopup=yes" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Geoscience Australia website</a>  to find the GDA94 coordinates of this antenna and enter them in JOSM with the “Lat Lon Tool”.
  Then, if you switch between the 3 good imagery (ACTmapi Imagery 2017, ACTmapi Imagery 2018, LPI Nsw Imagery), you will see that the antenna, the node with the GDA94 coordinates, and the 3 imagery layers, are aligned:
  <img src="http://www.stemani.fr/public/Osm/stromlo.jpg" alt="Stromlo GNSS Antenna (GDA94 coordinates)"></p>

  <p>Ok, but what are the WGS84/IRTF coordinates for this antenna? Luckily, you can download the data from this <a href="ftp://cddis.nasa.gov/gnss/data/daily/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">GNSS station</a> and process them with a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precise_Point_Positioning" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">PPP</a> software. The Australian online <a href="http://www.ga.gov.au/bin/gps.pl" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">AUSPOS</a> service gives you the PPP results with GDA94, GDA2020 and IRTF (@epoch data) coordinates. Here are the locations, more than 1.5m to north-east:
  !! <img src="http://www.stemani.fr/public/Osm/stromlo_irtf14_gda94.jpg" alt="Stromlo GNSS Antenna (GDA94, GDA2020, IRTF coordinates)"></p>

  <p>The conclusion is that these imageries are not using an IRTF datum, but the local one: GDA94. Therefore <strong>any OSM data created using these layers are not in WGS84</strong>.</p>

  <p>Now let’s go to France, to this node : <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/670517301" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/670517301</a></p>

  <p>This is a survey mark with coordinates using <a href="http://geodesie.ign.fr/fiches/index.php?module=e&amp;action=fichepdf&amp;source=carte&amp;sit_no=6904601" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">RGF93 datum</a> and the accuracy is better than 10cm.
  <img src="http://www.stemani.fr/public/Osm/charly.jpg" alt="survey_point near Charly">
  The alignment is good. We can say that this imagery layer use RGF93, not WGS84, or we would have seen a 70 to 80 cm offset. I’ve checked check some other survey marks in the country…all aerial imagery are RGF93/ETRS89.</p>

  <p>This is our first problem: <strong>Some OSM data are not using WGS84 coordinates ; the offset could be as high as 2 meters.</strong></p>

  <p>Our second issue is: <strong>How do we guarantee a good accuracy over the years?</strong></p>

  <p>Here are a couple of options.</p>

  <ol>
    <li>We keep using local datums.
      <ul>
        <li>
          <p>This is simple, but we don’t want too many datums: perhaps we should select a single datum for each tectonic plate.</p>
        </li>
        <li>
          <p>Aerial imageries with the same local datum remain aligned.</p>
        </li>
        <li>
          <p>We should inform data consumers, so that they can decide to convert the coordinates to WGS84 if they want to.</p>
        </li>
        <li>
          <p>We will need to move a lot of data when a new datum replaces an old one (more on that later)</p>
        </li>
      </ul>
    </li>
    <li>We convert all data to an ITRF datum.
      <ul>
        <li>
          <p>We must convert data with local datum (Australia, France, …) to WGS84. This is not an easy task, but this is feasible with a <a href="https://www.unavco.org/software/geodetic-utilities/plate-motion-calculator/plate-motion-calculator.html#models" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">plate motion model</a>.</p>
        </li>
        <li>
          <p>The date a node is created in OSM doesn’t inform about the original epoch.</p>
        </li>
        <li>
          <p>Should we keep the old aerial imageries to their original location, or transform them to today’s location? It could be difficult for the editors (Josm, ID, …) to do this if there is a translation and a rotation.</p>
        </li>
        <li>
          <p>When you load data in an editor, it should check all nodes coordinates, find the epochs, and dynamicaly move them to the actual localization with an Helmert transformation. It would be the same problem if you want to reuse the data. Another way is to create a bot which moves all the nodes in the database regularly (twice a year?).</p>
        </li>
        <li>
          <p>Prone to errors</p>
        </li>
      </ul>
    </li>
  </ol>

  <p>Whatever the decision is, we should check what is the real datum of all high-res imagery. To do so we need more reference points that are visible on one or more imagery. These could be a survey mark on the ground with public and accurate coordinates, or a GNSS antenna on or near the ground (we can’t use an object on a roof) with observation data freely available. I’ve already started a list on the <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Survey_points_on_aerial_imagery" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">wiki</a>, feel free to add more reference points. A new tag on these nodes would be useful.</p>

  <p>Let’s go back to Australia: The Auspos service provides GNSS coordinates with 3 datums : GDA94, WGS84 and GDA2020. What is the last one? As you know, the Australian plate is moving pretty fast. In 2020 the offset between GDA94 and the real location will be more than 1.8 meters. They decided they will use a new datum from 2020: <a href="http://www.gda2020.com.au/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">GDA2020</a>
  It means that new high-res aerial imagery in this country will have a big offset relative to the old imagery.
  They will use a dynamic reference frame too, but I’m not sure it will be used by the GIS world: <a href="https://icsm.gov.au/australian-terrestrial-reference-frame" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">ATRF</a></p>

  <p>Another country will change its datum : the U.S.A., with the plate-fixed <a href="https://www.ngs.noaa.gov/datums/newdatums/index.shtml" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">NATRF2022</a>, in replacement of NAD83.</p>

  <h2 id="summary">Summary:</h2>

  <ul>
    <li>
      <p>On Earth, everything is moving, up to 80mm/year.</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>A fix point on a tectonic plate will see its WGS84 coordinates changing over the years, but the same point have static coordinates with a plate-fixed local datum.</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>WGS84 coordinates without epoch can’t be accurate.</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>Contrary to what is stated, not all OSM data are using a WGS84 datum. In some country, the offset could be as high as 1.8 meters.</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>Some aerial imagery are not using a WGS84 coordinate reference system, but a local datum.</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>What should OSM do? Keep the dynamic WGS84 coordinates, or use some local datums as the surveyor’s world do?</p>
    </li>
  </ul>

  <div class="e2-text-picture">
  <img src="http://shtosm.ru/pictures/paper_map.jpg" width="1400" height="871" alt="" />
  </div>
  <p>Вчера <a href="https://t.me/shtosm/251">в телеграме</a>, развивая мысль про интерактивные карты как признак ленивого дизайнера, я написал, что кнопки плюс-минус — худшее, что есть в картах после переключателя слоёв. Кажется, многие читатели восприняли это как шутку, а другие поделились контекстом, когда эти кнопки не заменить. Например, когда нужно управлять телефоном одной рукой, или демонстрировать карту на проекторе с пультом. Все эти проблемы — лишь следствие того, что мы слишком привыкли к плюсу и минусу.</p>
  <p>Современные интерактивные карты выглядят гораздо проще классических ГИС: нет панели с полусотней слоёв, нет трёх рядов кнопок управления и панели состояния с рядом загадочных чисел. Мы постепенно избавлялись от лишнего, и теперь карту загораживают только строка поиска и несколько кнопок. К сожалению, для хорошего интерфейса недостаточно убрать лишнее: нужно убрать, а затем переизобрести всё остальное.</p>
  <p>Кнопки изменения масштаба появились от свойств тайловой схемы вкупе с линукс-мышлением. Тайлы, из которых состоит карта, устроены просто: на нулевом масштабе один тайл, на первом — четыре (2×2), на втором — шестнадцать (4×4) и так далее, каждый квадратик делится пополам в обоих измерениях. Линукс-мышление требует максимальной конфигурируемости: вдруг пользователь захочет посмотреть на карту конкретно на 13 масштабе, а мы ему не дадим? Поэтому развитие карт идёт увеличением количества уровней масштаба как <a href="http://shtosm.ru/all/evolyuciya-glagne/">вглубь</a>, так и вширь, добавлением промежуточных уровней и переходом на векторные тайлы с непрерывным масштабированием. Больше контроля пользователю!</p>
  <p>Работа с интерактивной картой похожа на управление автомобилем с ручной коробкой передач. Ты дёргаешь рычаг при езде, довёл действия до автоматизма и понимаешь, зачем это делаешь и чем одна передача отличается от другой. Когда приходит дизайнер и <a href="https://ilyabirman.ru/meanwhile/all/designers-and-specialists/">предлагает убрать</a> рычаг, первой реакцией будет от него отмахнуться. Но теперь мы ездим на машинах с двумя педалями вместо трёх с рычагом, и всё меньше людей готовы работать частью механизма. То же и с кнопками масштабирования в интерактивных картах: они упрощают жизнь разработчикам javascript-библиотек и усложняют всем остальным, от пользователей до создателей карт.</p>
  <p>Эти кнопки — бич веб-картографии. Как не устаёт <a href="http://городшахты.рф/question/stil-kartografa/answer/14746/">напоминать</a> Сергей Голубев, при каждом нажатии на «+» вы видите новую карту, с собственным картостилем и свойствами. На сайте osm.org у нас 20 (двадцать) различных картостилей. Каждое изменение стиля osm-carto затрагивает примерно половину из них, поэтому неудивительно, что дискуссии в репозитории обильно иллюстрированы и могут затягиваться. Но если подумать, действительно ли пользователю нужны все эти карты? Вне компьютера хватает трёх-четырёх: атласа мира, атласа области и карты города. Когда масштабов мало, больше времени остаётся на полировку оформления каждого. А точная настройка интерфейса становится излишней.</p>
  <div class="e2-text-picture">
  <img src="http://shtosm.ru/pictures/burn_buttons.jpg" width="1400" height="600" alt="" />
  </div>
  <p>Изменить масштаб можно многими способами, в зависимости от устройства и сайта:</p>
  <ul>
  <li>кнопками плюс-минус на экране;</li>
  <li>теми же кнопками с зажатым shift для большей скорости;</li>
  <li>ползунком масштабирования;</li>
  <li>колёсиком мыши;</li>
  <li>двойным кликом левой кнопкой;</li>
  <li>растягиванием прямоугольника мышью с зажатым shift;</li>
  <li>кнопками «+» и «-» на клавиатуре;</li>
  <li>перетягиванием двумя пальцами на тачпаде или экране;</li>
  <li>щипком или расщипком на экране;</li>
  <li>дважды тыкаешь пальцем, второй раз не отпуская удерживаешь и тянешь вниз или вверх.</li>
  </ul>
  <p>Почему так много? Потому что у каждого из этих способов есть недостатки: от сложности обнаружения (последний пункт от Сергея Синицына удивил многих в чате) и отсутствия технической возможности (клавиатура есть не у всех) до неудобства, неточности или низкой скорости отклика.</p>
  <p>Но пользователи обычно приходят к вам не для того, чтобы масштабировать карту. Им все эти способы нафиг не нужны. Они хотят посмотреть на данные или понять взаимоотношение географических объектов. Если остановиться и подумать, что нужно пользователю, может оказаться, что либо не нужна интерактивность целиком, либо не нужно масштабирование, либо не нужны двадцать карт и сложные способы переключения между ними.</p>
  <p>Как пример альтернативной навигации, я сделал <a href="http://osmz.ru/weirdzoom.html">демонстрационный сайт</a>. На нём всего одна кнопка: её достаточно для карты, предназначенной для рассматривания. Кроме того, там всего пять уровней масштаба: достаточно, чтобы за три клика найти нужный дом, а не крутить карту туда-сюда, разглядывая промежуточные стили. Наконец, кнопка стоит внизу: так до неё удобнее дотянуться на телефоне.</p>
  <p>Разумеется, для более сложных сайтов одной кнопки может оказаться недостаточно. Но это не повод вестись на традиции и пользоваться стандартными элементами. Всегда можно сделать лучше. Вместо списка нарисовать картинки, вместо картинок встроить карты, вместо карт сделать простой инструмент. Интерактивная карта — всегда зло, но если вы её делаете, думайте о задачах пользователя и не перекладывайте на него свою работу.</p>

title: Даешь Памятникам, достойное отображение в OSM и трехмерную визуализацию ?!!!

summary:
  <p>Памятники это одни из самых достойных объектов в этом мире, являющиеся памятью о тех или иных событиях и произведениями искусств.</p>

  <p>Столь значительные объекты в носящиеся нами в карту- базу данных OSM на данный момент имеют унылую картинку напоминающую надгробия, которая ни дает ни какого визуального представления о самом памятнике не о его форме, не что это: скульптура, статуя , бюст, военная техника, памятник архитектуры, и т.д..</p>

  <p>Еще плачевнее дела обстоят с трехмерной визуализацией данных объектов. предлагаю исправить данную ситуацию и разработать теги для памятников их частей, и возможность вносить данные через мультиполигоны,</p>

  <p>На данный момент при добавление тегов на контур отрисованного памятника, он не визуализируется ни как, выводится только одно название, если таковое указано.</p>

  <p><a href="https://hostingkartinok.com/show-image.php?id=efd0d349b9093b2e72ed7c87fe4f05b6" title="разместить фото" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer"><img src="https://s8.hostingkartinok.com/uploads/thumbs/2019/07/efd0d349b9093b2e72ed7c87fe4f05b6.png" alt="Yes"></a></p>

  <p>Очень хочется, что бы значки данных памятников генерировались из контуров памятников, заменяя уродливые значки надгробий.</p>

  <p>Что это даст:</p>

  <ol>
    <li>Четкое представление о форме, типе памятника. - на карте.</li>
    <li>Визуализацию по средствам 3D на основе внесенных данных.</li>
    <li>Многие памятники являются техникой типовой, доведя до идеала геометрию и детали  можно проставлять повсеместно заменяя невнятные контуры и точки объектов данными моделями.</li>
  </ol>

  <p>Проблемы возникшие при данном внесение объектов это поломанная геометрия очень мелких деталей, на данный момент. требуется повысить точность координат в OSM.</p>

  <p>Пример:</p>

  <p><a href="https://hostingkartinok.com/show-image.php?id=8c7c7551e1661808b98b98a4d7eadca6" title="поделиться изображение" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer"><img src="https://s8.hostingkartinok.com/uploads/thumbs/2019/07/8c7c7551e1661808b98b98a4d7eadca6.png" alt="Yes"></a></p>

  <p>Всем желающим помочь в разработке схемы и тегов для памятников пишите мне.</p>

  <p>Название, координаты, где находится, внесенные мной памятников по тамбовской области в таком виде:</p>

  <ol>
    <li>танк Т-34 - (52.7300642, 41.4533993) - Тамбов</li>
    <li>самолёт МиГ-21Ф -( 52.7215421, 41.4146239) - Тамбов</li>

summary:
  <p>At OSM Utah, we hold an OSM mapping night every month. If you are in the Salt Lake City area, you should stop by. The details are <a href="https://www.meetup.com/OpenStreetMap-Utah/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">on our Meetup group</a>.</p>

  <p>This month we will do a photo mapping night. Photo mapping is a great way to collect information to map later. Every smart-phone has a built in GPS these days, and let you attach location data to any photo you take. JOSM lets you open photo image files, or even an entire directory with ‘geotagged’ images, and will display them as markers on the map.</p>

  <p>It works like this. As you walk around, you just take photos of things you think may not be on OSM yet and you want to map later. That could be anything from a general photo of a building (to map things like roof type, levels), a sign with opening hours of a business, a fire hydrant, a hiking trail (to map width, surface type). Anything that you wouldn’t be able to map from aerial imagery, either because it’s too small, likely obstructed by tree cover, or it can only be observed at street level.</p>

  <p>Here’s a few photos I took recently</p>

  <p><img src="https://diary-image-hosting.s3.amazonaws.com/Screen%20Shot%202019-07-18%20at%2012.12.37%20PM.png" alt="some photos"></p>

  <p>In JOSM, you can go into your photos directory and select one or more images to load them onto the map. They will appear as little grey camera symbols which you can click to reveal the photo so you can map the information.</p>

  <p><img src="https://diary-image-hosting.s3.amazonaws.com/Screen%20Shot%202019-07-18%20at%2012.23.02%20PM.png" alt="JOSM showing a photo on the map"></p>

  <p>I think this is a convenient and fun way to map. Before you start, just make sure that your phone is set up to attach location to every photo you take.</p>

  <p>For next week, if you’re coming to the mapping night, please take a few photos of things to map in advance so we can make sure it works. We may go out to take some more pictures before we start mapping. See you next week!</p>

  <blockquote>
    <p>6:53 am - 3 May 2019 — UPDATE: Our plan is to get the site back online early next week. Under DDOS attack from some unknown forces, the simplest thing to protect our beloved Openclipart is to keep offline at present. Your CLIPART is SAFE.</p>
  </blockquote>

  <p>I was trying to obtain an EPS pair of scissors this evening using <em><code>File | Import Clip Art…</code></em> under <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inkscape" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Inkscape</a> (which is setup to use <a href="https://openclipart.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">openclipart.org</a> by default) but got zero result, not even an error message. The <a href="https://openclipart.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">OCA index page</a> showed a most peculiar message (<em>“Openclipart is PROTECTED.”</em>) which did not help someone in my position that was unaware of the cause. Then finally <em>DuckDuckGo</em> got me there to twitter.</p>

  <p>You <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/alexkemp/diary/390250" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">will see</a> that these OSM Diaries also suffered constant bot attack starting late April which caused the site admin to take them offline from Search-Engines on 24 May (and again on 23 Jun) as to stop the attacks. It surely cannot be a coincidence that two non-commercial sites run by volunteers both suffered <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denial-of-service_attack" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">DDOS</a> attacks within a few days of each other, causing both admin to hide their sites from public view as to mitigate the attacks. Of course, the <em>reason</em> for those attacks is still currently unknown.</p>

  <p>The nature of these DDOS attacks is also uncertain. OSM used the site-wide <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/alexkemp/diary/390250" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">robots.txt</a> (see also <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Carnildo/diary/390115" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">diary/390115</a>) to stop the bot-flood (OCA does not appear to have a robots.txt). That was physically enacted by two <em>‘<code>Disallow</code>’</em> lines in the text-file:</p>

  <pre><code>Disallow: /user/*/diary
  Disallow: /diary
  </code></pre>

  <p>If you understand that the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robots_exclusion_standard" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Robots exclusion standard</a> is <em>advisory</em>, a little bit of thought will make it obvious that the fact that the bots stopped when the above was placed into <em>robots.txt</em> means that they were spam-bots. However, there were zero links or spam within (most of) their posts. Further, DDOS actions are almost always as to extract large amounts of money from the victims (it is effectively a technological mugging). What is the point in mugging non-commercial sites?</p>

summary:
  <p>Требуется инструмент контроля отката правок и страница с данными откатами у каждого участника в профиле проекта, на которой бы было видно какие правки были откачены и кем, DWG или ник участника проекта и причину отката.</p>

  <p>На данный момент мы не имеем ни какого представления были ли откаты правок их причины и не являются ли данные откаты вандализмом от участников проекта, данные действия проходят стороной, мимо человека который внес данные, потратил время и усилия на это.</p>

  <p>Считаю что данные действия должны фиксироваться у каждого на страницы, что бы человек мог как минимум объяснить спорные моменты по каждому пакету правок и был в курсе данных откатов-удаления его данных и его труда. Также это поможет выявлять вандальные акаунты которые тем самым удаляют данные в тихоря с заведомо ложными комментариями, маскируя тем самым откаты правок</p>

  <p>Также требуется, что бы ясно и понятно как отреагировало DWG, на тот или иной запрос и о принятом им решения на жалобы, желательно что бы информация так же была доступна с пакетом правок на который подана жалобы или непосредственно в аккаунте, если жалобы подана на аккаунт участника..</p>

  <p>Аккаунты заблокированных пользователей должны быть видны, на сайте с пометкой что данный пользователь заблокирован и причины блокировки.</p>

  <p>Также требуется инструмент для массового атката вандальных правок пользователей.</p>

  <p>Также требуется подтверждение данных, если происходят удаления объектов, а тем более массовое удаление, если они отличаются от спутниковых снимков, на дворе 21 век и мобильный не роскошь, хватит позволять вандалам портить без наказано данные.!!! 
  Удаление таких данных должны подтверждаться фото и видео снимками c GPS координатами данных удаляемых объектов.</p>

  <p>Просьба всем помочь донести данную проблему и идею разработчикам сайта и DWG и реализовать ее в ближайшее время.</p>

summary:
  <p>Aujourd’hui j’ai atteint une étape dont je ne suis pas peux fier. Je viens de passer les 1000 modifications sur la BDD d’Openstreetmap. Retour sur 10 ans de présence et comment je suis monté en puissance.</p>

  <p>En 2009 je crée le compte, je ne sais plus pourquoi, sans doute parce que j’avais voyagé à un endroit mal décrit, mais les outils disponibles pour l’édition d’alors ne fonctionnent pas bien sur mon mac et la version de Java qui vient avec. Je ne fais donc pas grand-chose.</p>

  <p>2011/2012 une année charnière dans ma vie – je rencontre ma femme et celle-ci étant mongole, je traverse son pays. J’accumule des traces GPS que j’utilise pour géomarquer mes photos. Je les partage sur OSM en me disant que ça pourra toujours servir à quelqu’un.</p>

  <p>Fin 2012, je découvre que l’édition “en ligne” d’OSM est devenue utilisable, j’ajoute le kebab en bas de chez moi.</p>

  <p>2014, j’arrive dans la ville dans laquelle je vis toujours. Celle-ci est vide de contenu. Je me prends donc au jeu d’ajouter les commerces, etc. Mais je cale quand même pour l’ajout des voix manquante. Je regarde mon profil et j’y ajoute mon lieu de résidence, chose que je n’avais pas encore faite. Pof, ça me donne la liste des utilisateurs et leurs activités dans mon coin. Je contacte Niconil pour lui demander s’il sait ajouter les voix. Il me répond enthousiasmé, que oui, il sait faire. On convient d’un rendez-vous pour cartographier ensemble et surtout, il me parle du projet <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/FR:WikiProject_France/WikiProject_Base_Adresses_Nationale_Ouverte_(BANO)" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">BANO</a>. J’écoute distraitement – puis le jour J, il vient chez moi, nous prenons la voiture et faisons le tour de la ville afin d’ajouter ce qu’il manque. Je comprends enfin l’intérêt de BANO – ça permet de renseigner ce qu’on sait qui n’existe pas. Je deviens un gros fan et je cartographie les villes et villages alentour. Il m’apprend à utiliser <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JOSM" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">josm</a> – avec 20 minutes de démo ça devient très utilisable et donc je me mets à éditer comme un fou.</p>

  <p>Puis gros coup de vide ; puisqu’il reste beaucoup de détails qu’on pourrait ajouter, mais c’est fastidieux et ça m’intéresse moins.</p>

  <p>Début 2019, je découvre street complete qui rend la partie détails beaucoup moins fastidieuse puisque cela devient un jeu, je me remets donc à contribuer et quand je vois des choses qui manquent ou n’existent pas, je repasse par <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/ID" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">ID</a> et josm pour les ajouter/retirer.</p>

  <p>Conclusion, il est très facile de contribuer à openstreetmap de nos jours.</p>

summary:
  <p>Tonight I made the worst mistake I’ve ever done on OSM - straightening everything.</p>

  <p>By “everything”, i mean everything on the edit windows,</p>

  <p>and then uploaded it.</p>

  <p>I have spent two hours and a half mapping the City of Lai Châu in northwestern Vietnam. It was founded in 2008 after the establishment of Lai Chau province.</p>

  <p>The city is amazing thanks to its good planning, with wide boulevards and large and beautiful squares and parks.</p>

  <p>I’ve drawn a lot of facilities in the past 3 days. And tonight I drew some more, such as square, parks, and schools and buildings.</p>

  <p>Then, I mistakingly hit Ctrl-A, which selects Evverything on the map.
  Not realising the mistake, I then pressed “L”, which straightened those selected.</p>

  <p>At this time, the app froze for 20 seconds, which made me think, perhaps it’s too heavy and it’s time to Upload.</p>

  <p>I did it - uploaded it.</p>

  <p>Now I’ve running Revert to roll back the damages I made.</p>

  <p>My hard work is gone!!!!</p>

  <p>Don’t be like me.</p>

summary:
  <p>As I was working on improving the visualization of route relations I had to improve the data part of the public transport. now one can get the nearest way to a bus stop and all stops a way is serving.
  stop can be identified as left or right side according to the direction of the way it is serving. these features of the data will help in making the edges in route relation which will be my next task. By using these it has also improved the sorting of pt_route members including the stop which was not working properly before(was creating the duplication of stops when it was passing through a two-way road).</p>

  Today's ride was 21 miles out beyond Embleton (with a following wind), and back (with a head wind). That's the end of two months back on the bike. I've had sixteen outings. My average ride has risen to almost 14 miles for a total distance of 222 miles. My Eddington number is currently 11. It's a start.

summary:
  <p>Dear OSM Community,</p>

  <p>At Amazon we are coming across a situation where unmaintained track roads have no access tags. We would like to know your suggestions/feedback on how to tag these roads.</p>

  <h3 id="track-roads">Track Roads:</h3>
  <p>By definition track roads implies traversal of motor vehicles and are mostly used for agricultural use. We have private GPS traces showing where delivery vehicles go, and when we match them against OSM data, we see they’re going along highway=track ways. We want to add appropriate access tags so that routers can route correctly along the data in the future.</p>

  <p><img width="601" alt="Screen Shot 2019-07-16 at 9 57 15 PM" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/8401827/61652173-0269a400-acd5-11e9-98ab-aebfa9e6b27c.png"></p>

  <p>The driver trace is on-the-ground evidence that the road can be used by motor vehicles for deliveries, but we have no evidence either way that the road can be used for general traffic.</p>

  <p>There are four different ways we’ve come up to tag this information:</p>

  <h3 id="motorvehicle--yes">1. motor_vehicle = yes</h3>
  <p>Our editing team used to do this, but the community has pointed out that it’s incorrect because we don’t know if the roads can be used for public motor vehicle traffic. This is particularly a problem for track roads that could connect two roads.</p>

  <p><img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/8401827/61648776-bd8e3f00-accd-11e9-9b3e-990660f33704.png" alt="Picture1"></p>

  <p>If the track road were tagged as motor_vehicle=yes, the data would show that anyone could connect from one side to the other. We don’t have evidence on that.</p>

  <h3 id="motorvehicle--destination">2. motor_vehicle = destination</h3>
  <p>This indicates that local traffic can go there. Unfortunately, it also says through traffic can’t use it, which we also have no evidence on apart from our delivery partners route information.</p>

  <h3 id="motorvehicle--delivery">3. motor_vehicle = delivery</h3>
  <p>This is the same as #2, except it indicates delivery only. All public traffic will be blocked from routing via this road.</p>

  <h3 id="service--driveway--surface--unpaved">4. service = driveway + surface = unpaved</h3>
  <p>Since most of the track roads are leading to independent houses or commercial entities, these track roads can be converted to driveways and add ‘surface=unpaved’ information as per available sources. This might not be applicable to all the track roads but only to roads leading to housing entities and vehicles visible in satellite images.</p>

  <p>Our personal preference is the combination of #2 and #4 as we think this correctly captures the information we have.</p>

  <p>What do community think is the most appropriate tag for this case?</p>

  <p>As per community request, we’ve stopped adding motor_vehicle=yes to track roads and reverted all the changes we made previously in UK while we sort this out. Do let us know your suggestions.</p>

  <p>Regards,</p>

  <p>Jothirnadh</p>

summary:
  <p>Периодически в <a href="https://t.me/ruosm" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">чатике</a> OSM-RU в Telegram кто-нибудь обращает внимание, что какой-то сайт или сервис используют данные из OSM, но при этом не указывают атрибуцию. Чаще всего эти разговоры ни чем не кончаются. Люди немного посудачат, выскажут свои предположения о морально-этическом облике разработчика и меняют тему. В итоге всё так и остается на своих местах. Почему-то, по крайней мере я этого не замечал, никто не пытался связаться с разработчиками этих ресурсов и вступить с ними в переговоры.</p>

  <p>Во-первых, мне всегда казалось, что лучше попробовать (попытаться) что-то сделать и изменить, чем просто об этом бесконечно говорить. Во-вторых, мне хочется верить и доверять людям (презумпция невиновности), а потому я считал и считаю, что вполне возможно среди тех, кто использует данные из OSM без атрибуции, есть те, кто просто не знает об этом правиле. Если же ему всё доходчиво, дружелюбно и мягко объяснить, то он пойдет на встречу и укажет эту самую атрибуцию.</p>

  <p>И я попробовал это сделать: вступить в переговоры с теми, кто использовал OSM, но не указывал атрибуцию. Как оказалось, я был прав: в большинстве случаев на мои просьбы была положительная реакция. К сожалению, были и те, кто проигнорировал или забанил меня в ответ на моё сообщение, но таких - буквально единицы.</p>

  <h2 id="section">Что я такого делал?</h2>

  <ol>
    <li>Связывался с разработчиком и доходчиво ему всё объяснял: без упреков, без наездов, мягко и тепло.</li>
    <li>Если он исполнял мою просьбу, то упоминал его сайт (приложение, сервис и пр.) в одном из выпусков <a href="http://weeklyosm.eu" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">WeeklyOSM</a>. Человеку приятно, сообществу OSM - тоже.</li>
  </ol>

  <h2 id="section-1">Что же я им писал?</h2>

  <p>Постепенно опытным путем сложился шаблон письма, который учитывает все нюансы и написан в нужном тоне. <a href="https://yadi.sk/d/1qA_06QXZDKxWQ" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Делюсь им</a>. Можете смело использовать его, но если вы пообещали кому-то, что напишите о его детище в WeeklyOSM, то либо сдержите свое слово, либо вовсе не обещайте.</p>

  <p>Так, няшки мои, я сделал то, что совсем от себя не ожидал: отображение 3D-моделей на веб. Получился такой вот каталог архитектуры с карточками.</p>

  <p>Поскольку F4 в последнее время работает странновато, оно лишним не будет.</p>

  <p>Как обычно, все в ОСМ очень неровное.</p>

  <p>Есть это:

  <p>Теперь надо кое-что подрихтовать, отрефакторить, и наладить регулярное обновление.
  Если кто вдруг захочет помочь с рефакторингом, пишите в личку.</p>

title: adding an aerial sphere 360 panorama to the OpenStreetMap

summary:
  <p>I shot and added as an experiment the aerial sphere 360 panorama to the OpenStreetMap for the lake Lac de Tseuzier: <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/1642268" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/1642268</a></p>

  <p>The sphere panorama itself is located on the DJI’s website: <a href="https://www.skypixel.com/photo360s/spark-78d50747-504a-4a84-90c9-6a02357eb70e" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">https://www.skypixel.com/photo360s/spark-78d50747-504a-4a84-90c9-6a02357eb70e</a> .</p>

  <p>Here is the link to the same panorama on Google maps: <a href="https://goo.gl/maps/GZjbKr1J7hy3WgYU7" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">https://goo.gl/maps/GZjbKr1J7hy3WgYU7</a> , and in the Street-View mode it is shown on the map as a small blue circle.</p>

  <p>The area of this lake is about one square kilometer. The size of the panorama file is 1.8 MB. It is created with the Spark quad-copter, which weighs less that 500 grams. Spark creates and publishes the aerial sphere 360 panoramas to the Skypixel website automatically from the DJI Go 4 app.</p>

  <p>I added it with the “image” tag. In my opinion, it is time to introduce a new OSM tag for the aerial sphere panoramas.</p>

summary:
  <p><em>tl;dr the release notes</em> 📗</p>

  <p>The latest version of MapRoulette, 3.3.3, was released today on maproulette.org. There have been a few notable new features and updates since I last <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/mvexel/diary/48234" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">wrote about MapRoulette in the 3.3 release post</a>, so here’s a new diary entry to talk about what has happened since in MapRoulette land!</p>

  <h1 id="virtual-projects">Virtual Projects</h1>
  <p>Challenges are organized in Projects. A Project lets you, or your organization, organize Challenges that belong together. You can create as many projects as you like, and move Challenges between them if you want. Each Project’s page lets you review progress metrics and comments for all challenges in a project, combined. This is pretty handy, but also a bit limited. That’s why we added Virtual Projects. Virtual Projects are different in a few ways:</p>

  <ul>
    <li>You can add any Challenge to a Virtual Project, not just your own.</li>
    <li>Challenges can belong to more than one Virtual Project.</li>
  </ul>

  <p>Just like regular Project pages, your Virtual Project’s page has progress metrics and comments related to all challenges that are currently in your Virtual Project. You create a Virtual Project just like you would a regular Project.</p>

  <h1 id="improved-mapillary-integration">Improved Mapillary integration</h1>
  <p>We introduced a Mapillary overlay in version 3.1.1, but it was not so great to use yet. We have improved it a lot, it now shows Mapillary image locations that are more relevant to the task location, and we use the native Mapillary viewer widgets, so you can zoom in and easily skip to the next or previous images in a Mapillary sequence.</p>

  <p><img src="https://diary-image-hosting.s3.amazonaws.com/Screen%20Shot%202019-07-26%20at%202.58.03%20PM.png" alt=""></p>

  <p>We hope to further improve Mapillary integration in the future, for example by letting Challenge creators define tasks based on available Mapillary imagery at the task location. Let us know if you have other ideas for integrating Mapillary into MapRoulette in meaningful ways, and what challenge ideas you have based on Mapillary images!</p>

  <h1 id="maproulette-tags">MapRoulette Tags</h1>
  <p>When you complete a task, you can now add a MapRoulette-specific tag to the task. Currently, you cannot search for these tags in MapRoulette, but they do appear in the CSV and GeoJSON task exports the Challenge owner can download. That makes them particularly interesting for Challenge owners. Say, for example, you have a challenge in an area where you know there may not be enough high-quality imagery available for mappers to complete all the tasks successfully. You can ask mappers to add a tag when they encounter that situation, for example <code>bad-imagery</code>. Later, when you download the tasks export, you can analyze the tags and find out which areas didn’t have good enough imagery (and start an OpenDroneMap + OpenAerialMap project there 🙂 )</p>

  <p><img src="https://diary-image-hosting.s3.amazonaws.com/Screen%20Shot%202019-07-25%20at%202.36.12%20PM.png" alt=""></p>

  <p>We will add more support for MR Tags in the future. Let us know what you want to use MR Tags for! You can email us at <a href="mailto:maproulette@maproulette.org" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">maproulette@maproulette.org</a> or open a ticket on Github.</p>

  <h1 id="other-highlights">Other highlights</h1>
  <ul>
    <li>The Korean localization was updated in 3.3.1, thanks @depth221</li>
    <li>More filtering and display options and general refinements on the Review page.</li>
    <li>Export tasks as GeoJSON</li>
    <li>Show Project metrics for selected challenges only</li>
  </ul>

title: DWG или тайная секта? Требуется пересмотра сложившейся политики и прочих аспектов! - черновик

summary:
  <p>Мое обращение в DWG натолкнула и лишь лишний раз убедило меня в неэффективности всех имеющихся инструментов по отслеживанию и исправлению вандальных правок, а также в мало пригодности данных полученных из OSM, если эти данные таковыми можно назвать, также открыло мне глаза на все тайные стороны DWG и членства в нем.</p>

  <p>А теперь по порядку:</p>

  <ul>
    <li>На мое обращение в DWG и <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/mavl" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">mavl</a> по вопросу вандализма участника <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Nimfea" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Nimfea</a>, был произведен откат, всех правок данного участника. итогом стало куча задвоенных объектов, данные его были не удалены, а лишь размножены.</li>
  </ul>

  <p>На что <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/mavl" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">mavl</a>, один из участников вроде как рабочей группы DWG - почему вроде как?!, отвечу Вам -  да потому что не Имени не Фамилии в профиле не указано и проверить является ли данный участник членом рабочий группы по данным никак не возможно!!! Это как минимум неуважение к участникам, скрываться и общаться как инкогнито, представлять интересы в международном проектом, а тем более входящего в рабочую группу по данным, но да ладно продолжим, данный участник заверил , что данные будут как то удалены и исправлены, ни сроков ни чего не указав, когда остается только гадать на кофейной гуще. В итоге я получу в ближайшее время, в навигаторе данные которые нельзя будет использовать как минимум месяц, коту под хвост мой труд и как с такой картой теперь быть, кому она нужна?</p>

  <ul>
    <li>Я стал узнавать как же можно стать одним из участников рабочей группы по данным и написал в DWG письмо с просьбой принять меня в нее и если есть локальные группы разделенные по территориям прошу меня принять в Российскую группу, так как английским владею только со словарем, и прошу в нее зачислить в качестве ученика, так как не владею всеми тонкостями и знаниями OSM, проекта (да и попросту ими невозможно овладеть: 1. это так как ни один ресурс не переведен, 2 это незнание с чем и как работает DWG, да и странно откуда я могу это узнать, если про это нигде не указано и не описано, что и как она делает , какие инструменты имеются для этого.)</li>
  </ul>

  <p>На что я получил отказ мотивированный тем, что:</p>

  <ul>
    <li>нет никаких локальных групп, есть одна общая группа по работе с данными,</li>
    <li>что не знаю английского языка</li>
    <li>мне рано вступать в нее раз я не владею всеми тонкостями OSM.</li>
  </ul>

  <p>Считаю что:</p>

  <ul>
    <li>Должна быть созданы, локальные местные подгруппы по работе с данными на  территорий Стран с их родным языком, исключающая всякую дискриминация по языковому признаку как это есть сейчас, если вы не владеете английским.</li>
    <li>Эти рабочие группы должны в свою очередь делиться, включать в себя уже составные части, то есть,  должны быть образованы из числа территорий входящих в данную страну из их активных участников.</li>
    <li>Общая рабочая группа DWG - должна координировать их, и решать только спорные моменты , которые не смогли решить локальные группы, и должна включать от 1 до 3 участников каждой из стран.</li>
    <li>В локальные рабочие группы могут вступить любой, имеющий минимум Map changes: 2 000 000  качественных правок, локальные группы по работе с данными Должны формироваться из активного числа участников данной территории. Данный порог правок необходим что бы отсечь вандалов, человек внесший такое или большее изменение явно не будет Вандалить. Что подразумевает фраза “качественные правки”, геометрия объектов не от фонаря лишь бы накидать,</li>
    <li>Вступить в группу может быть любым участником- на правах новичка - ученика.</li>
    <li>В случае отсутствия активных участников на данной территории, территория переходит под общий контроль, рабочей группы по данным страны или ближайшим более мелким группам.</li>
  </ul>

  <p>что это дает:</p>

  <ol>
    <li>Это контроль территорий и данных которые были внесены другими участниками.</li>
    <li>Своевременную защиту от вандалов, так как никто кроме местных не знает , лучше что происходит на данной территории, и может с уверенностью это подтвердить.</li>
    <li>Взаимосвязь и лучшее понимание между участниками и в самой рабочей группе по данным.</li>
  </ol>

  <p>Вам решать быть локальным группам по работе с данными на родных языках или нет!!!</p>

  <p>Но, если вы будете все пофигистами в OSM все останется на своих местах.</p>

title: Categorising paths, another attempt

summary:
  <p>New proposal for categorising paths: 
  <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/path_defined_by" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/path_defined_by</a></p>

  <p>I previously wrote about the challenges of <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Rostranimin/diary/34533" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">categorising paths</a> - and created a (failed) proposal for a tagging scheme.</p>

  <p>As is the way with Openstreetmap the proposal I wrote then failed to catch anyone’s excitement/interest. But the mapping of paths continues to pose real issues. So I recently wrote another proposal - this time to try to define paths according to how they have arisen - whether they are constructed or simply worn lines on the ground, and whether they are defined by markers or arise perhaps from wear by animals (but are also used by people).</p>

  <p>As I’ve said in the proposal:
  &gt;”Paths vary hugely in character - but current mapping struggles to capture the differences. There have been various attempts to agree a simple method to categorise or rank paths and path status. … What people call a ‘path’ varies hugely. In theory it might be best to record path attributes and to categorise paths according to this data, but in practice this is entirely unrealisitic (at least in the short term). To classify a path adequately it is necessary to take into account at least path width, incline, tilt, variation in tilt/incline, degree of camber, edge quality and character, surface material, surface material grade, surface compactness, surface slipperyness, smoothness, and visibility. Partly issues also arise because paths are used by people with such different needs - whether for example on foot, in small motorised vehicles, on one of many very different bicycle designs, in one of many wheelchair designs, or pushing many different forms of wheeled equipment. This means that it becomes almost impossible to agree on simple definitions of some important characteristics (such as ‘smoothness’).”</p>

  <p>I’d welcome comments - the proposal is here

  Today I covered a smidgeon short of 18 miles (imperial), or about 28 kilometres (metric). I tried a couple of minor tweaks to my standard circuit. One avoids a hilly bit of road&nbsp; and the other just offers a change of scenery. With a drop in temperature and no wind to speak of, my average speed was slightly better than last time. Nothing remarkable, but quite satisfying.

  <p><strong>How to organise a community birthday party</strong></p>



  <ul><li>Contact OSMers in your area and talk among yourselves. Decide what you want to do.</li><li>It can be as big or as small as you want. A few people meeting for some food/drink, or a bigger event.</li><li>Invite new people! It can be a great way to spread the word about OSM. Promote your event.</li><li>You can make/order a birthday cake. See <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Cake">previous examples of OSM cakes</a> for inspiration. Don&#8217;t forget the attribution!</li><li>If you take photos, you can share them on the <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OpenStreetMap_15th_Anniversary_Birthday_party">OSM wiki</a> afterwards.</li><li>Edit <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OpenStreetMap_15th_Anniversary_Birthday_party">this wiki page</a> and put details of your event in.</li><li>Remember a core principle of OSM: Have fun!</li></ul>



  <p>If wiki editing isn&#8217;t your thing, email communication@osmfoundation.org with your event details and we&#8217;ll add it <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><br /><br />Events are already planned in Japan, Belarus, Germany and the US. <br />Join us!</p>

  <p>O mê de Julho está sendo um grande marco para o OpenStreetMap no Brasil, o numero de Usuário novos vem aumentando bastante com um pico bem elevado de novos usuários, deixando uma media de novos usuários em um único dia muito além dos dias anteriores, um vídeo que vi na internet criado por um jogador do PokemonGo está incentivando novos usuários a mapear o OpenStreetMap e inserir tag de vários tipos, como Áreas Verdes, Casas, Rios, Park e Diversos POI´S e vários outros.</p>

  <p>A evolução da internet é simplesmente fenômenal.</p>

summary:
  <p>If buildings are to be placed on a smaller scale maps, they must be prepared: simplified, then typified and finally aggregated/amalgamated.</p>

  <p>Building simplification is not the same as line/polygon simplification (done with DP or VW algorithms). When simplifying building, you want characteristic details to remain: for example most buildings have square shapes, that must remain in simplified version.</p>

  <p>Example of building simplification:</p>

  <p><img src="https://i.ibb.co/VSVxcNh/building-simplification.png" alt="Building simplification"></p>

  <p>Here dashed polygon - original building, yellow one - simplified to specified amount.</p>

  <p>As you can see square angles have been preserved as well as larger details while smaller details have been removed.</p>

  <p>The amount of simplification depends on a resolution of the screen/printer (if a size of a pixel is 10 meters there is no point of trying to depict details smaller than 10 meters) as well as legibility requirements - when too much details is displayed, map reader cannot clearly read the map. If unsimplified buildings are placed on a small scale printed map, they could be visible as some kind of sand or other pattern, not as buildings.</p>

  <p>Such building simplification helps not only with the very important criteria in cartography - legibility, but also with some technical details - building polygons have less vertexes, therefore they are rendered faster. While legacy technology of using raster tiles does not suffer too much because of more complex geometries, it is very important with currently used vector tiles - buildings take up much less (sometimes up to 50%) space so are faster to transfer and use less CPU (and battery on mobile) to render them.</p>

summary:
  <p>The <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/tchaddad/diary/390156" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">last post</a> explained some of the background on the use of Wikipedia page links and other information in Nominatim. This post covers looking into Wikidata as another source of information that may be of use. <img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/66/Wikidata-logo-en.svg/200px-Wikidata-logo-en.svg.png" alt="Wikidata logo"> <a href="https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Introduction" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Wikidata</a> is the knowledgebase of the <a href="https://wikimediafoundation.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Wikimedia foundation</a>. It was founded in 2012 with the goal of collecting factual data used in Wikipedia across all languages. The project is maintained by over 20,000 active community contributors.</p>

  <p>The Wikidata repository consists mainly of items, each one having a label, a description, and any number of aliases. Items are uniquely identified by a Q followed by a number, such as:</p>

  <ul>
    <li><a href="https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q936" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Q936 → OpenStreetMap</a></li>
  </ul>

  <p>Statements describe detailed characteristics of an Item and consist of a property and a value. Properties in Wikidata have a P followed by a number, such as:</p>

  <ul>
    <li><a href="https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P112" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">P112 → founded by</a></li>
    <li><a href="https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P275" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">P275 → license</a></li>
  </ul>

  <p>Properties can point to values, such as:</p>

  <ul>
    <li><a href="https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P2124" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">P2124 → member count</a></li>
  </ul>

  <p>Or properties can point to values that represent other concepts, such as:</p>

  <ul>
    <li>
      <p><a href="https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P31" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">P31 → Instance of</a> which for the OpenStreetMap item Q936 points to values such as:</p>
    </li>
    <li><a href="https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4505959" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Q4505959 → digital map</a></li>
    <li><a href="https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7094076" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Q7094076 → online database</a></li>
    <li><a href="https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6576792" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Q6576792 → online community</a></li>
    <li><a href="https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q933625" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Q933625 → volunteered geographic information</a></li>
  </ul>

  <p>And so on.</p>

  <p>The numbers used in entity identifier codes are assigned in the order the items and properties were created in Wikidata. By using identifier codes, Wikidata is able to support <a href="https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Multilingual" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">multilingual data entry</a> without favoring any one language. Most item identifiers will have labels attached that can be used to label the page for the entity in the language specified by the users preference. If an identifier does not have a label available in a users language of interest, the option exists to <a href="https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Special:CreateAccount&amp;returnto=Help%3AItems" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">become a wikidata</a> contributor and <a href="https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Items" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">add the missing label</a>.</p>

  <h2 id="how-is-wikidata-potentially-of-use-to-nominatim">How is Wikidata potentially of use to Nominatim?</h2>

  <p>As with <a href="https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/wikipedia" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Wikipedia tags</a>, OSM users have been entering <a href="https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/wikidata" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">tag links to Wikidata items</a> for some time now. These connections may be only of passing interest to the average OSM user, but have some very interesting potential.</p>

  <p>Entities in Wikidata are inter-related, and the connections between them are a large part of what is stored in the database The information can be visualized as a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directed_graph" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">directed labeled graph</a> where entities are connected by edges that are labeled by properties. To understand what this means, it is helpful to look at an example:</p>

  <p>An example of a Wikidata item that represents a well known entity:</p>

  <ul>
    <li><a href="https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q243" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Q243 → Eiffel Tower</a></li>
  </ul>

  <p>This item has several properties linking to more items with value of interest</p>

  <ul>
    <li><a href="https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P31" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">P31 → Instance of</a></li>
    <li><a href="https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P625" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">P625 → Coordinate Location</a></li>
    <li><a href="https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P2048" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">P2048 → Height</a></li>
  </ul>

  <p>Of these, the P31 property, or “instance of” is extremely useful property that connects to other item concepts of interest for the Eiffel Tower:</p>

  <ul>
    <li><a href="https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2319498" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Q2319498 → Landmark</a></li>
    <li><a href="https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1200957" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Q1200957 → Tourist Destination</a></li>
  </ul>

  <p>This kind of  information can be visualized as follows:
  <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tchaddad/Nominatim/master/data-sources/wikidata/wikidata_example_eiffel_tower.png" alt="Wikidata example graphic">
  Obviously, in the <a href="https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Main_Page" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">universe of knowledge</a> that Wikidata is trying to cover, most items are not inherently geospatial. However, many items in Wikidata do represent locations, and for those that do, the statements in the Wikidata database that represent properties and relationships between items can potentially be valuable “additional” knowledge that can enhance Nominatim. Knowing that an OSM object is a landmark is helpful, and could be used in calculations of nominatim importance scores, for example. In cases where real world items might have identical names, the ability to differentiate between OSM locations using properties not covered by OSM could help with returning more relevant geocoding results, etc.</p>

  <h2 id="extracting-wikidata">Extracting Wikidata</h2>

  <p>As with Wikipedia data, there are a multitude of ways that users can access Wikidata via various <a href="https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Data_access" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">dump formats, tools, and services</a>. The most powerful methods make use of graph databases and utilize the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPARQL" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">SPARQL query language</a>.</p>

  <p>For now, this project has only scratched the surface of these options, by focusing on a few wikidata extracts of initial interest, importing them into Postgres tables, and querying them using SQL, which is an easier entry point than SPARQL for the purposes of a quick introduction.</p>

  <p>All tables size and query values discussed below reflect the Wikipedia dumps dated 20190620:</p>

  <ul>
    <li>
      <p><a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Page_table" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Page table - wikidatawiki-latest-page.sql.gz</a> The page table can be considered the “core of the wiki”. Each page in a MediaWiki installation has an entry here which identifies it by title and contains some essential metadata.</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p><a href="https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/mediawiki/extensions/GeoData/+/master/sql/externally-backed.sql" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Geo_tags table - wikidatawiki-latest-geo_tags.sql.gz</a>
  Stores information about geographical coordinates in articles</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p><a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/Schema/wb_items_per_site" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Wb_items_per_site table - wikidatawiki-latest-wb_items_per_site.sql.gz </a>
  This table holds links from Wikidata items items to Wikipedia articles.</p>
    </li>
  </ul>

  <p>We can use the Eiffel Tower example to navigate the above Wikidata tables as follows:</p>

  <ul>
    <li>Page table → contains 60,216,116 records about all pages in the collection, including past versions. To find the most current Eiffel Tower (Wikidata Q243) record in the page table:
  <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tchaddad/Nominatim/master/data-sources/wikidata/wikidata_page_table_example.png" alt="Wikidata page table example"></li>
    <li>Geo-tags table → An interesting feature of this table is that it contains lat/lon information for locations on earth, and also locations on other planets. It also mixes locations that are the primary subject of a page, and other locations mentioned within a page. There are 7,411,618 total records in geo_tags, where 7,404,767 are on earth, and 7,120,320 are primary subject of page locations, vs 284,447 locations merely mentioned within the pages. To find the lat/lon of the Eiffel Tower record in the geo-tags table:
  <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tchaddad/Nominatim/master/data-sources/wikidata/wikidata_geo-tags_table_example.png" alt="Wikidata geo-tags table example"></li>
    <li>Wb_items_per_site table → contains 68,771,106 records. This table contains the link between each Wikidata page_title (Q number minus Q) and the various language wikis and the site_page name in the local language. To find the various Wikipedia pages about the Eiffel Tower:
  <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tchaddad/Nominatim/master/data-sources/wikidata/wikidata_wb_items_per_site_table_example.png" alt="Wikidata wb_items_per_site table example">
  There are in fact <a href="https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q243" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">155 named Wikipedia pages for the Eiffel Tower in Wikidata</a>, originating across the various Wikipedia language sites. This contrasts to the <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/5013364" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">OSM record for the Eiffel tower</a>, which contains 44 translations of the landmark’s name, and illustrates that a single Wikidata link in OSM can open up access to a wide array of additional relevant information.</li>
  </ul>

  <p>Overall, the Eiffel Tower example shows that using information extracted from the above Wikidata tables, OSM items with Wikipedia page tags can now be linked to their corresponding Wikidata information, and vice versa.</p>

  <h2 id="how-does-this-help">How does this help?</h2>

  <p>Circling back to Nominatim, recall that Nominatim is already able to calculate and use importance scores based on Wikipedia in-links. One issue with this approach has been that while Nominatim can calculate importance scores for all Wikipedia pages, these scores can only be used if there is a credible link between a Wikipedia page and an OSM item.</p>

  <p>Up until this point, there have been two ways in which links between OSM items and Wikipedia pages have been made in Nominatim:</p>

  <ul>
    <li>
      <p>Mapper supplied links - <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Wikidata" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">OSM mappers have added Wikipedia tags</a> to some OSM items, and so these are directly accessible</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>Best guess links - Nominatim has a <a href="https://github.com/openstreetmap/Nominatim/blob/master/utils/importWikipedia.php" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">linking script</a> that attempts to create links using logic that compares item names and locations</p>
    </li>
  </ul>

  <p>Now that Wikidata information can be used in the Nominatim database, the benefits of the importance scores calculated using Wikipedia inlinks can be extended to more OSM items as follows:</p>

  <ul>
    <li>
      <p>Wikidata to Wikipedia links - OSM items with Wikidata tags but no Wikipedia tags can be directly connected to their relevant Wikipedia page and importance scores</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>Additional Mapper supplied links - improved geocoding could be an incentive to OSM mappers to add Wikidata identifiers to OSM items. See below for a tool that can help with this process.</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>Improved best guess links - there is a potential that Wikidata properties can help discriminate between similarly named items and more definitively connect the correct Wikipedia page and importance score to the relevant OSM item</p>
    </li>
  </ul>

  <p>These improvements should lead to a larger number of OSM items that can benefit from Wikipedia importance scoring improvements. It also means that in the future, Nominatim can potentially begin to capitalize on the relationships information stored in Wikidata to further enhance importance scoring.</p>

summary:
  <p>I updated the “<strong><a href="https://harrywood.co.uk/maps/longnames/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Long Names Of OpenStreetMap</a></strong>”.</p>

  <p><a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4352203471#map=19/9.96817/76.24515" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer"><img src="http://harrywood.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/long-names-theatre.png" alt="theatre example"></a></p>

  <p>Now there are 722 long names, that is, objects with a name longer than 150 bytes.</p>

  <p>I haven’t run a full update since October 2017. Back then there were 464 long names.  So I guess we’re getting worse at keeping our names short.</p>

  <p>It looks like bus routes with very long name values are becoming more widespread. <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/9639814" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">For example here</a> is the <em>“391 “B”: Veresegyház, Misszió Egészségügyi Központ =&gt; Veresegyház, Dukát utca =&gt; Veresegyház, Cserje utca =&gt; Veresegyház, Eötvös utca =&gt; Veresegyház, Újiskola utca”</em> bus route. Snappy name!</p>

  <p>Maybe I should’ve limited by character count rather than bytes. Cyrillic scripts are at a unicodey disadvantage, not to mention <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4016233418#map=19/36.84262/119.39707" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">chinese</a>.</p>

  <p>Not all of them cause wacky rendering like the theatre example in the screenshot above (<a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4352203471#map=19/9.96817/76.24515&amp;layers=D" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">node</a>).</p>

  <p>I do think they all have something in common though. Using the name tag for something which isn’t <em>really</em> a name.</p>

  <p>There’s some more details and comments on <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Harry%20Wood/diary/39400" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">my original diary entry about this</a>. From a tagging policy perspective there’s a discussion (so far just between myself) on the wiki: “<a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Names#Very_long_names._bad_practice.2Fbug.3F" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Very long names. bad practice/bug?</a>”</p>

  <p>When i download a standard map for PDF, it gets very heavy to work with in Illustrator.
  Is there any way to reduce size and compelxity before downloading in PDF?</p>

  <h1 id="introduction">Introduction</h1>
  <p>The completion of the Traffic sign catalogues task brings a long-desirable feature in OSM2World: being able to define and configure materials solely through the configuration file, without the need for them to exist in Materials.java! <br> During this main feature’s implementation, the <em>Human Readable Traffic sign Values</em> task also came to a more complete state by adding lines of code related to it, while progressing, to cover needs that came up.<br> This entry will be split into 3 parts, separately covering Human Readable (H-R) values-related additions to avoid possible confusion. It is worth mentioning that there are of course more changes than the ones explained here but as changes are being constantly made it would be practically impossible to include every detail that has changed since the last diary entry. Plus, it would turn out to be boring for the readers. <br> That being said, sample sign images with the material definitions/configurations that create them included can be found by the end of this entry! <br> Let’s get started:</p>

  <h2 id="human-readable-values-related-additions">Human-Readable values related additions</h2>
  <p>I will try to keep things short and briefly present only the most important points as this is not the main focus of this entry:</p>

  <ul>
    <li><strong>A clear distinction between H-R values and non H-R values</strong> is now taking place in TrafficSignModule.java. Its simple implementation may seem obvious at first but it had to be validated by looking through a lot of <a href="http://overpass-turbo.eu/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Overpass</a> data with a query like</li>
  </ul>

  <p><em>[out:csv(traffic_sign;false)];</em> <br>
  <em>nwr[“traffic_sign”][traffic_sign~”:”]({{bbox}});</em> <br>
  <em>out;</em></p>

  <p>that looks for traffic sign values that include “ : “ in their name i.e. are country prefix - sign ID pairs like DE:267 . Using that, one can see that there were no cases where a sign contained both a country-prefixed value and a human-readable one together (e.g. v=’DE:254, maxheight’ ) so the code below was deemed to be the way to go:</p>

  <pre><code>
  if(tagValue.contains(":")) { //if country prefix is used
      String[] countryAndSigns = tagValue.split(":", 2);
      if(countryAndSigns.length !=2) return;
      country = countryAndSigns[0];
      signs = countryAndSigns[1].split("[;,]");

      } else { //human-readable value

     signs = tagValue.split("[;,]");
     }

  </code></pre>

  <ul>
    <li><strong>The trafficSign_signName_material = * property is now supported</strong>
  The above property will map a H-R sign name to its corresponding material definition for the specified country. Properties like that will be loaded into a separate configuration file, unique for every traffic sign catalogue, which will be loaded together with the catalogue &amp; the main configuration file. These 3 lines (in the main config file) are enough to produce this result for the catalogue of Germany:</li>
  </ul>

  <pre><code>locale = Germany

  include = ${locale}TrafficSignCatalogue.properties
  include = ${locale}HumanReadableSigns.properties
  </code></pre>

  <p>The same principle can be applied for any other catalogue. Following the same syntax, <em>trafficSign_signName_numPosts =</em> * and <br> <em>trafficSign_signName_defaultHeight =</em> * <br>are also supported to define the corresponding TrafficSignType values for a sign.</p>

  <h2 id="traffic-sign-catalogues">Traffic Sign catalogues</h2>
  <p>The first thing that had to be done was to make the application able to handle non-predefined materials parsed from a configuration file:</p>

  <pre><code>/* If material is not defined in Materials.java, create new material
  and add it to externalMaterials map */

  if (material == null) {
  	material = new ConfMaterial(Interpolation.FLAT, Color.white);
  	externalMaterials.put(materialName, material);
  }
  </code></pre>

  <p>The <em>externalMaterials</em> Map that can be seen here stores exactly what its name implies. It is also used in <em>getMaterial(String fieldName)</em> in Materials.java for this method to be able to also return the external ones. <br> <br>
  Next up is the addition of a core method in TrafficSignModule, <em>mapSignAttributes</em> . Remember the <em>trafficSign_signName_</em> values mentioned above? This is the method to parse and return them, if they exist, as they are essential for the creation of the sign. As for now, this function returns a Map containing the results of the parsing plus a couple of necessary values more, as Strings; a situation that might be later improved by having the method return a TrafficSignType instance. As this function is relatively large to be included here, only its brief javadoc is presented below:</p>

  <pre><code>/**
   * Parses configuration files for the traffic sign-related keys
   * trafficSign_NAME_numPosts|defaultHeight|material
   * 
   * @param country The sign country prefix, if it exists; empty string otherwise
   * @param sign The sign name (without country prefix and subtype/brackettext value)
   * @return A HashMap containing the above values if found | Empty map in case of "fatal" error
   */
  private Map&lt;String, String&gt; mapSignAttributes(String country, String sign)
  </code></pre>
  <p><br>
  Wrapping this section up, are some final <strong>noteworthy points</strong>:</p>

  <ul>
    <li>In both the material definitions (when it comes to traffic signs) and the <em>trafficSign_signName_</em> keys it was deemed necessary to follow a single <strong>convention for the signName representation</strong>. That convention is the already used “ SIGN_countryPrefix_ID “ . So, to configure some attributes for the German sign <a href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bildtafel_der_Verkehrszeichen_in_der_Bundesrepublik_Deutschland_seit_2017#/media/Datei:Zeichen_625-11_-_Richtungstafel_in_Kurven_(Aufstellung_rechts),_500x1500,_StVO_1992.svg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">625-11</a> one could use:</li>
  </ul>

  <pre><code>material_SIGN_DE_625_11_transparency = BINARY
  trafficSign_SIGN_DE_625_11_numPosts = 2
  </code></pre>

  <ul>
    <li><strong>Global values for traffic sign height and a sign’s pole radius can be defined</strong> (preferably) at the beginning of each catalogue like this:</li>
  </ul>

  <pre><code># Global values
  defaultTrafficSignHeight = 2.6
  standardPoleRadius = 0.038
  </code></pre>

  <p>However the presence of the <em>trafficSign_signName_defaultHeight = *</em> key for a specific sign will of course overwrite the global value for this sign only.</p>

  <ul>
    <li><strong>2 more necessary configurable fields are added in TextTextureData</strong>. Those are <em>textColor</em> and <em>relativeFontSize</em> . <br> textColor defines the text’s color, as its name implies, by parsing hexademical values from the configuration file. Its value defaults to #000000 (black). <br> relativeFontSize is a way of configuring the text’s size in relation to the overall size of the image. The smaller the value the smaller the text size. Its use is showcased in the outputs below.</li>
  </ul>

  <h2 id="png-outputs-of-signs-defined-solely-in-the-german-traffic-sign-catalogue-configuration-file">PNG outputs of signs defined solely in the German traffic sign catalogue configuration file</h2>
  <p>The depicted signs are generated using the following material definitions respectively:</p>

  <pre><code>material_SIGN_DE_266_transparency = BINARY
  material_SIGN_DE_266_texture0_file = ./textures/signs-DE/regulation_signs/266.svg
  material_SIGN_DE_266_texture0_width = 0.84
  material_SIGN_DE_266_texture0_height = 0.84
  material_SIGN_DE_266_texture1_type = text
  material_SIGN_DE_266_texture1_text = %{traffic_sign.subtype}m
  material_SIGN_DE_266_texture1_font = DIN 1451 Mittelschrift,PLAIN
  material_SIGN_DE_266_texture1_topOffset = 65
  material_SIGN_DE_266_texture1_leftOffset = 52
  material_SIGN_DE_266_texture1_relative_font_size = 20
  </code></pre>

  <p>and the .osm file entry:</p>

  <pre><code>&lt;tag k='traffic_sign' v='DE:266-5' /&gt;
  </code></pre>

title: A tool to join CSV data into OSM file

summary:
  <p>After facing some situations where I (or somebody else) had to update a bunch of tags or even bring new ones to OSM, without having to modify geometries themselves, I decided to create a tool that was able to automate the process.</p>

  <p>OSM CSV Appender is a simple tool that merges a CSV file into an OSM file. It can be used to import data to OSM, or even to map tags associated to a set of geometries in offline mode that, when ready can be appended to OSM and sent in only one changeset.</p>

  <p>There are two ways to join the files. One is matching tags between files and another is matching the id of the geometries.</p>

  <p>This tool was developed to be used with JOSM, to prepare OSM files before the appending process. After the process it is used to assess the OSM file quality and to upload the changeset. Now talking about the CSV file, you will need a CSV file editor like LibreOffice Calc and/or GIS programs like Qgis to prepare data and generate CSV files for you.</p>

  <p>Although OSM CSV Appender joins files for you, it is very important to assess the quality of the results. To help you with this process the tool also generates a CSV file which contains the usage count of each row in CSV file by each geometry type (node,way and relation).</p>

  <p>This tool is documented in <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_CSV_Appender" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">OSM CSV Appender on OSM Wiki</a></p>

  <p>Suggestions and feedback of errors are welcome.</p>

summary:
  <h3 id="before"><em>Before</em></h3>
  <p>This was originally posted by myself on 12 May 2019 as a response to the then–current astonishing volumes of <em>“wfgz spam”</em> &amp; <em>“vip spam”</em> affecting these Diary pages (upto <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/alexkemp/diary/390250" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">30,000 spam-posts each day</a>, starting 25&nbsp;April). That existential threat appears to have receded (see the first part of the <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/alexkemp/diary/390250" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Bot-Flood Stats</a> page), but the continual background trickle of spam– &amp; nonsense–posts (upto 10&nbsp;a day) continues.</p>

  <p>It should be possible to easily shut off that vile flow without badly affecting valid OSM users. This post reflects on the current situation, and seeks to present my own suggestions and to provoke comments to perhaps obtain even better methods.</p>

  <h2 id="institute-a-no-edit-no-diary-rule">Institute a <em>“No-edit, No-diary”</em> rule.</h2>
  <p>All current spam &amp; abuse would stop the instant that the privilege of posting to this Diary was restricted to those that have added to the map. My suggestion would be a parameter of ‘10&nbsp;changesets’ to relax that rule.</p>

  <p>There are further steps that would need to be taken to make sure that such a rule would not cause collateral damage to the map:</p>

  <ol>
    <li>
      <p><em>Moderate New-User Map Edits</em>  <br>
  Map edits by new users should be human-moderated by being placed into a hidden queue. A team of volunteers that are seasoned mappers can then be assigned <em>Moderator</em> rights to accept/reject map-edits within the hidden queue. Such moderation should only be lifted once the user has shown themselves to be a human with (say) 10 useful map edits. Diary posts would be auto-prevented until the statutory number of Map edits was completed. Once completed that restriction would be auto-removed.</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p><em>Auto-remove Unused Accounts</em>  <br>
  Auto-remove all those that acquire an OSM account but never update the map within (say) 2&nbsp;weeks.</p>
    </li>
  </ol>

  <h2 id="background"><em>Background</em></h2>
  <p>OSM Diary pages both share features in common with blogs, forums, etc. and at the same time are different. The features shared in common are:–</p>

  <ul>
    <li>Any member of the public can create an OSM account</li>
    <li>That account can be used to make public posts into the Diary pages</li>
    <li>The above is highly attractive to both those that <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spamming#Newsgroup_and_forum" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">spam</a> &amp; those that write <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graffiti" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">graffiti</a></li>
  </ul>

  <p>Neither <em>Spam</em> nor <em>Graffiti</em> are unusual, and all blogs/forums/etc. have to get to grips with it or stop trading. As an electronic medium, there are 2&nbsp;aspects for every blog/forum/etc. to consider:–</p>

  <p>The OSM map is currently subject to considerable spam. That ranges from folks dropping nodes at their current business location with nothing but a website in it, to random map spam, to extensive <em>Notes</em> spam (possibly using a bot). Moderating new users would stop all that spam instantly, and OSM existing users are enthusiastic to get involved in helping new users map responsibly.</p>

  <h3 id="bot-spam"><em>Bot-spam</em></h3>
  <p>The <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/alexkemp/diary/390250" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Bot Stats page</a> gives conclusive proof that these OSM Diary pages have been included within bot-spamming software such as XRumer (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XRumer" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Wikipedia</a>, <a href="https://www.stopforumspam.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=50184#p50184" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">History</a>). That fact does not actually make any sense!</p>

  <p>Spam-bots such as XRumer are a commercial <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franchising" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Franchise</a> (exactly like McDonalds) that recruit hundreds of franchisees to use the Franchisor bots to farm hundreds of thousands of Forums using open-source software. The commercial model depends upon the existence of all those blogs, forums, guestbooks, boards, BBS, CMS and other platforms using the same, identical software. OSM is a tiny backwater compared to those, and should be uninteresting. Nevertheless, for some reason both <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/alexkemp/diary/390295" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">OpenClipArt</a> and OpenStreetMap got hit at the same time by bots.</p>

summary:
  <p>I prayed for this.</p>

  <p>As someone with a fickle memory, I can’t even remember the last time I presented in front of an audience; and I missed that. I’m generally a talkative person and I always love to share ideas to other people. I’m also a firm believer that when a chance comes knocking, open that door wide open.</p>

  <p>Four hours before the travel grant application for the Pista ng Mapa closes, I applied, and in some very dreamy turn of events, my application was accepted. My selling point? I am (still) not confident in talking publicly about mapping in general, when for five years, I’ve worked and been working in agencies that largely engage (and invest) in geospatial technologies. I want to learn more about what other people and organizations do to be able to be more effective, confident, and eloquent on my speaking engagements. After all, I can’t preach what I don’t know. (And my friends have been encouraging me to join and I am more than willing if given the chance of not spending a chunk of my grad-school savings.)</p>

  <p>My anxiety skyrocketed before the event. I personally don’t know many people in the mapping community, and it’s my first time in Dumaguete. It was so relieving to know that I have the (almost) same flight with Nalie and Zi. Of course, they instantly became my PnM buddies.</p>

  <p>THE MAPPY HOURS</p>

  <p>You know the usual problem of not being able to choose because there are so many good choices at hand? That was my feeling when it’s time for the parallel sessions.</p>

  <p>On the first day, I’ve attended the Data Storytelling with Open Contracting Data session. As a [student] journalist and an open data enthusiast, my consciousness about this “knowledge and defense” was amplified. I almost always try to avoid processes that involve policies, monitoring procurement processes, and every other term of engagement that involve too much paper and resources. But in the session, I learned that in one way or another, we will face the dilemma of facing these planned and executed session roads of emerging technologies. All we have to do is adapt (and be mature about it, maybe).</p>

  <p>The more interesting topic I attended was the Human Experience Design for Maps. I mean – why isn’t this a norm? What people in the science and social sciences sectors need to realize is that their expertise, when combined, will create a more all-inclusive approach to map-making. Knowing the needs and thought process of the people in a community, area-specific,  can substantially aid in a more multidisciplinary science policy and planning.</p>

  <p>I also went to Creating interactive maps using Mapbox GLJS session. Maybe I am really not a techy person that was why I had a hard time keeping up? But hey, I managed to create my first map! Please be proud of me.</p>

  <p>THE MAPPY NEXT DAY FAVORITE</p>

  <p>I kicked off the second day with a lightning talk about the S&amp;T Infrastructure and Geospatial Technologies of DOST-Advanced Science and Technology Institute. For the first time in a long while, I was able to deliver a presentation again. I was so happy, and participants were telling me our outputs are impressive. But, of course! *winks</p>

  <p>Just a background, I am one of the information officers of the DATOS Project. We conduct R&amp;D to develop advanced methodologies for different applications of earth observation data. We complement the current efforts of existing government agencies and initiatives in the country through our continued research on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and other advanced image processing techniques.</p>

  <p>I also hosted a Birds of Feather session about the same topic. I just pray that next time, I could promote our technologies better.</p>

  <p>MAPPY WITH #GEOLADIES</p>

  <p>Before the Geoladies sessions, I attended the Countermapping session by Ma’am Ony. I personally enjoyed the countermapping for social justice lecture.</p>

  <p>I have attended all the sessions organized by GeoLadies, and I am so proud to be a woman. Even before knowing about them, I have been advocating for the roles of women in disaster risk reduction and management – a very gender-sensitive topic. I was not confident in talking about understanding the gender implications and facets of disaster and climate change and how it is critical to DRRM practices, but I know for sure that women are part of the critical process.</p>

  <p>I’ve said this before and I am saying this again: We do not have the same privileges, needs, and vulnerabilities in CCA-DRR, given the exponential risk of it, but in mapping, we do. It is time for gender-sensitive approaches to disaster mitigation and recovery strategies using spatial technologies. Stop discriminating women response and capabilities.</p>

  <p>Women can do what men can do. Women leadership is vital in reducing disaster risk and their efforts should be recognized, encouraged, and all the more supported.</p>

  <p>So what happens when women map? We take over the world. I mean, not literally, but it’s basically the same thing.</p>

  <hr>
  <p>I would like to thank the organizers of the Pista ng Mapa especially Sir Erwin Olario for guiding me through the process of the mapping community. I enjoyed every talks, sessions, and all the times to get-together. Thank you for giving me the chance to know cool people in the mapping community.</p>

  <p>And also, the conference could never be on time– I just really needed some time to breathe. To more mappy days ahead!</p>

summary:
  <p>The second evaluation of Google Summer of Code is complete and the results came out a week back and I cleared it. This article explains what I did during the second phase of GSoC building AutoBound.<br>
  The main two main tasks I focused on during the second phase of GSoC were:<br>
  1. Data Collection<br>
  2. The plugin-server pipeline</p>

  <h2 id="data-collection">Data Collection</h2>
  <p>The plugin and server ends for data collection were completed during the first phase of GSoC. So, here I will explain the workflow for collecting data I used.<br>
  To train the model, I needed high res aerial images and good data. I got them from <a href="https://openaerialmap.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">OpenAerialMap</a> and <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">OpenStreetMap</a> respectively. I filtered the latest, high res aerial imagery available in OpenAerialMap. But this was not enough. The area I download must have buildings and good data in OSM. I found that European countries generally satisfied both these conditions. So, I used <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JOSM/RemoteControl" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">JOSM’s remote control</a> to open the imagery and corresponding data in JOSM. Sometimes JOSM will throw an error saying the download area is too large. in that case, open the area in iD and zoom to the area with the imagery. Now, use remote control to open that area in JOSM. <a href="https://learnosm.org/en/josm/josm-adding-imagery/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Add the imagery</a> to JOSM from OpenAerialMap.<br>
  <img src="https://miro.medium.com/max/700/1*cpBC0M49X4QsR-kq3TwbzQ.png" alt="OpenAerialMap"></p>
  OpenAerialMap
  <p><br>
  Now use the <strong>Collect Data — AutoBound</strong> option from the Tools menu to start collecting the data.<br>
  Sometimes due to poor internet connectivity, some images may not be downloaded properly or, the data or the area might not match with the imagery. I had to manually delete such data. To make this easier, I built another small tool (Not a great one but gets the job done) — <a href="https://github.com/BBloggsbott/ManualImageSelector" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">ManualImageSelector</a>. This will show you the original image and segmented image side by side so you can compare and decide if you want to keep the image or not.

  ManualImageSelector. Image shown is taken from OpenAerialMap

  <h2 id="plugin-server">Plugin Server</h2>
  <p>This is an important part of AutoBound. During deployment, the image extracted by JOSM must be processed, sent to the server, processed again there and the results must be sent back to the plugin. Building this entire pipeline was the second and more important task during the second phase of GSoC.

  Flow Chart describing the working of AutoBound
  <p><br>
  The code to send data to the server and process the received data was done during the first phase of GSoC. Now the server side was the one that needed building. The image was sent to the server in a base64 encoded format. This image is decoded. Next the model is loaded from a save file. The model used by the server is an untrained resnet 101 (This will be replaced with a trained s and possibly simpler model during the third phase). <a href="https://docs.fast.ai/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Fast.ai</a>’s <a href="https://docs.fast.ai/vision.data.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">vision.data</a> modules are used to load and preprocess the image. The image is then passed to the model to generate the segmented image (which right now is just random). This image is then processed to get the edges. These edges are then converted to lat/lon coordinates. These coordinates are converted to <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JOSM_file_format" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">JOSM-XML</a>. This XML is then sent back to the plugin where it is parsed, added as a new DataLayer and displayed on the MapView.<br>
  This concludes the work during the second phase of Google Summer of Code.<br>
  In the next phase, I am collecting more data, building and training a model for the server. Expect a post on my progress and updates soon.</p>

summary:
  <p>My name is Tuan and I am living in Melbourne Australia. I have been contrbuting to OSM for over 7 years and I’ve learned to use JOSM, iD effectively. I spent almost 1-2 hours every night and most of my weekends doing onsite surveys, adding points and drawing OSM maps in parts of Vietnam, and many cities and suburbs in Australia.</p>

  <p>After years of mapping I have advanced myself to an Advanced Contributor, which has allowed me to be a mentor and advisor to many GIS developers in Vietnam.</p>

  <p>Overall I have mapped OSM with a passion and wouldn’t mind spending longer for OSM.</p>

  <p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/uEFqq2L.png" alt="My latest touch to Victoria Harbour, Docklands VIC"></p>

  <p>My current job is advertising coordinator. However, the job has become harder recently and I am afraid that I cannot keep the job in the next few months.</p>

  <p>At the moment I am seriously considering a career change into the GIS field.</p>

  <ul>
    <li>Would I be able to utilise my mapping experience (both in survey and armchair mapping) in the GIS field and developing data source for maps in general?</li>
    <li>If yes, is there a high demand for such positions in Australia?</li>
  </ul>

  <p>AND, 
  * what are the qualifications for such a job?</p>

  <p>Mapping has been my passion for many years and I wouldn’t mind moving anywhere in order to pursue this dream. I</p>

  <p>Pls have a look at my <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/TuanIfan" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">OSM profile</a> and my <a href="https://hdyc.neis-one.org/?TuanIfan" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">HDYC porfolio</a> for your reference.</p>

  <p>Please let me know your thoughts. Any advice is well regarded.</p>

summary:
  <p>My team at Grab and I got an opportunity to experiment with the <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/DrishT/diary/368711" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">RapiD – AI-assisted mapping editor</a>. We found this tool to be useful in mapping missing road networks. It is also helpful in increasing the mapping speed, as:</p>

  <ul>
    <li>Missing features are already highlighted – helped us focus on the exact location where the feature is missing than going through an entire area.</li>
    <li>Once selected, they are already traced, thus minimising the tracing efforts and help us better the quality of tracing</li>
    <li>Help in increasing mapping speed plus give us full control of the data that can be uploaded and the ones that need not be uploaded.</li>
  </ul>

  <p>This would be a great tool for the community in SEA as the folks here are new and would be willing to explore this to map the unmapped regions here.</p>

  <h3 id="here-are-our-major-takeaways-post-using-the-tool"><strong>Here are our major takeaways post using the tool:</strong></h3>

  <ul>
    <li>The AI detections are pretty clear and are correctly detecting the roads.</li>
    <li>The user has the option to accept or reject a detection, clearly establishing that a mapper intervention is necessary even if the AI is pretty good in identifying.</li>
    <li>It automatically connects the new roads to the preexisting ones or warns when a new segment that we accept has been connected or not, which is great for new mappers to understand and validate.</li>
    <li>The detections stand out but also doesn’t take up too much space, making it easier to spot the roads without having to disable to rapid assist.</li>
    <li>The detections already had predefined tags, which makes it quicker for the mapper to add the roads and since the tags are already defined, it eliminates the cases of having or uploading untagged ways.</li>
    <li>The AI detects the features until the end of that grid and allows the mappers of the other grid to connect the roads, which makes it easy and conflict-free.</li>
  </ul>

  <p>The detections have been great. It still allows us to experience the thrill of mapping :) Just makes it easy as it detects places/roads that are missing and through these detections, they are easy to identify, thus making the process faster.</p>

  <p><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/eKr8EkFn9-56FrTWBgVlkluQnwKBIBxR1jB0kT7Cvetb99HHPbTB-HLrks6EqaElCecsEIG2V4w1codX91t2UpGvgLSE0thrWB8lBRKDQEzPSY39McCLsc9gvTXQbrqYadamAgTu" alt=""></p>

  <p>As you can see below, the tool manages to identify and suggest adding roads that align with the imagery. As a mapper and having an eye to making it more precise, I, of course, did add a couple of more nodes but most of my work was done. I managed to map more in lesser time. 
  I loved the fact that even though these are generated, they will be uploaded on OSM if and only if the mapper approves. The quality of the data is in the mapper’s hands.</p>

  <p><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/wAQKAnQltaSbh_K_ZowRbjAadCXdUlJ-8UuRKf4cGcuLzAOkhfC4BzXMrWkR6Y1jceMQZ9kgTZFXLfz93sejMhUnheMUjQGY5k59ilEtP429NTqCT6z4LfHnykeMNma8Fg3eYwXk" alt=""></p>

  <p>It also took care of the possible errors which one could have missed. In this case, even though the road is a small extension, the tool suggests the mapper to extend it and trace according to the imagery.</p>

  <p><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/RGsVBDdeSrY6c1Gj_nbBg8QNNBLPtxUIYiKUdNztQ7oQa--o_xAHxVTL1Wtik2MLUkdTZpe2rnNZqS3POp48_Y8vNW00FxLwBsZ6IFv27EUcI1PbgxVV8ZCERuZYP5cmU2ges0Pe" alt=""></p>

  <h3 id="how-would-it-be-of-use-in-sea-region"><strong>How would it be of use in SEA region:</strong></h3>

  <p>We would be exploring this tool in dense areas and validate these detections work. We will also be integrating this with our <a href="https://www.grab.com/sg/blog/join-us-as-a-grab-geostar/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Geo*Stars program</a> and other community activities. This will enable mapping enthusiasts to map in SEA.</p>

  <p>Happy Mapping! :)</p>

summary:
  <p>The OSMF board is making <a href="https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2019-August/083042.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">another survey of the OSM community</a> and like <a href="https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/osmf-talk/2019-May/006055.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">with the last one</a> i though i’d publish my answers.  I think stating my opinion in public and this way inviting a public discussion of these matters is ultimately better than just having an asymmetric communication with the board through a survey.</p>

  <h2 id="how-can-we-share-your-answers">How can we share your answers?</h2>

  <p>Does not really apply since i already publish the answers here.</p>

  <p>But since i do not endorse collection of <em>exclusive knowledge for the ruling class</em> so to speak i chose the first option.</p>

  <h2 id="are-you-answering-as-a-group">Are you answering as a group?</h2>

  <p>No</p>

  <h2 id="what-is-happening-in-your-local-community">What is happening in your local community?</h2>

  <p>I am not really the right person to answer this on any level of locality.</p>

  <h2 id="what-about-your-local-community-should-be-more-widely-known-what-can-other-communities-learn-from-yours">What about your local community should be more widely known? What can other communities learn from yours?</h2>

  <p>One thing mapper communities in other parts of the world can see observing the German community is an example how and under what circumstances a hobby mapper community can grow organically.</p>

  <p>Another thing is the professional OSM data user community in Germany being much more dominated by small and medium enterprises than in other parts of the world (in particular outside Europe) and how this supports technological and cartographic innovation.</p>

  <h2 id="do-you-meet-other-mappers-in-person-is-there-a-local-community-beyond-mapping">Do you meet other mappers in person? Is there a local community beyond mapping?</h2>

  <p>Yes and yes.</p>

  <p>(Note: If you want answers other than yes/no then don’t ask a yes/no question)</p>

  <h2 id="are-you-engaged-in-the-global-community-if-you-arent-why-not">Are you engaged in the “global community”. If you aren’t, why not?</h2>

  <p>That’s a highly ambiguous question - both regarding what it means to be engaged and what “global community” means.  There are no significant spatial limitations in my communication with others in relation to OSM.  The most serious overall limitation is language which limits my active verbal communication to German and English.  But i try to passively listen also to communication in other languages, in particular French, Russian and Spanish.</p>

  <h2 id="what-do-you-think-could-improve-the-interaction-between-global-and-local-communities-how-can-you-help">What do you think could improve the interaction between global and local communities? How can you help?</h2>

  <p>Same ambiguity here in what “global community” means.  Main prerequisites for individual contributors to be motivated to contribute are being taken seriously, being able to affect something  of substance and being treated as equals by those you interact with.  A strict subsidiarity principle and meaningful federalism that controls and limits centralized power within the OSM community would be very helpful for that.  Reducing organizational influences (like corporations and other institutions) that are not democratically legitimized within the OSM community and which inevitably do not treat individual contributors as equals would be another important measure.</p>

  <h2 id="do-you-know-who-organises-the-global-state-of-the-map-conference-if-youre-going-to-sotm-why-if-youre-not-going-to-sotm-why-not">Do you know who organises the global State of the Map conference? If you’re going to SotM, why? If you’re not going to SotM, why not?</h2>

  <p>I have visited SotM last year and am going to visit this year but am likely not going to visit in the future any more, primarily due to the lack of oversight and accountability in decision making and spending money (in particular in the scholarship program) and the lack of strict separation between sponsorship acquisition and conference planning.</p>

  <p>More in depth commentary on SotM from me can be found on</p>

  <h2 id="what-do-you-find-the-most-and-least-usefulvaluableenjoyable-of-these-channels">What do you find the most and least useful/valuable/enjoyable of these channels?</h2>

  <p>Commercial platforms that make money from selling their users’ data and selling the users’ attention are the least attractive.  Mailing lists are generally preferred over web forum because they allow free choice of software for reading and writing and i can freely filter contributions as i like.  I am generally somewhat uncomfortable with channels under control of the OSMF because of the latent risk of censorship of content or people that are deemed undesirable by the powers that be since several OSMF board members have in the past expressed a desire to implement behavior regulation on OSMF channels.</p>

  <p>WeeklyOSM quite definitely provides the most “value per word”.  The most significant contributions to community discourse usually come from independent blogs, diary entries and mailing lists (in that order).</p>

  <p>Yes</p>

  <p>(that is a rather non-useful question, better would be to ask if i map also without local knowledge)</p>

  <h2 id="how-long-have-you-been-mapping-for">How long have you been mapping for?</h2>

  <p>Since 2012</p>

  <h2 id="how-complete-is-your-local-area-in-your-opinion">How complete is your local area in your opinion?</h2>

  <p>Left empty because it expects a numerical answer</p>

  <p>(This question frankly does not make much sense.  If you’d specify for a handful of different areas in different parts of the planet the level of completeness i might also be able to also specify this for my area in analogy).</p>

  <h2 id="check-any-of-the-following-to-describe-your-involvement-in-openstreetmap">Check any of the following to describe your involvement in OpenStreetMap.</h2>

  <p>OSMF member, mapper, supporter (i guess), data user, developer, working at a company using OSM (only in the English version, not in German since i am self employed and it asks if i am ‘Angestellter’), local chapter member.</p>

  <h2 id="from-your-perspective-what-1-or-2-issues-or-outcomes-should-the-osm-community-prioritise-and-why-is-there-a-role-for-the-openstreetmap-foundation-board-in-making-this-happen-how">From your perspective, what 1 or 2 issues or outcomes should the OSM community prioritise, and why? Is there a role for the OpenStreetMap Foundation Board in making this happen? How?</h2>

  <p>The biggest long term challenge for the OSM community is to withstand and push back the massive external corporate and organizational interests that aim to influence and control the project and to give control of the project back into the hands of the individual hobby mappers and give them control and ownership of the map in all aspects and on all levels.</p>

  <p>The OSMF board could do a lot to support this, specifically by preventing corporate and institutional interests from influencing OSMF policy decisions (through strict rules of eligibility for board members, through transparency of lobbying and decision making processes, through serious and robust conflict of interest regulations), by actually enforcing existing policy (including the license) w.r.t. corporations, by designing future policy to give individual hobby contributors a better standing against organized interests and most importantly by safeguarding the OSMF against hostile takeover attempts by giving away some of their own power and by installing oversight over their own actions through strictly and reliably community controlled bodies.</p>

  <h2 id="what-are-you-doing-yourself-to-address-this-how-can-the-openstreetmap-foundation-help-you-achieve-that">What are you doing yourself to address this? How can the OpenStreetMap Foundation help you achieve that?</h2>

  <p>What i do:</p>

  <ul>
    <li>Electing people to the OSMF board with no connection to institutional and corporate stakeholders.</li>
    <li>Demanding transparency from the OSMF in their work and decision making processes.</li>
    <li>Critically evaluating and if necessary questioning in public the decisions of the OSMF.</li>
    <li>Publicly countering corporate propaganda around OSM.</li>
  </ul>

  <p>What the OSMF could do:</p>

  <ul>
    <li>See above for the board.</li>
    <li>The working groups could open their work more to the community (communicate more about it, more actively invite input) and insist on transparency internally, in their interaction with the board and with external interests.</li>
    <li>The OSMF members could largely be more active in overseeing the work of the OSMF board and the working groups, provide critique and input and initiate and engage in public discussion of matters of policy.  They could and should also more frequently force policy decisions the board is either not willing or not able to initiate.</li>
  </ul>

  <p>Generally: more transparency - daylight is the best weapon against corruption.</p>

  <h2 id="what-would-you-like-us-to-focus-on-in-the-next-survey">What would you like us to focus on in the next survey?</h2>

  <p>I think the focus of any survey should be on generating statistical data that can be publicly shared.  A survey is not a substitute for open symmetric discourse.</p>

summary:
  <p>Last Thursday, on the first day of August, the inaugural <a href="https://ti.to/PistaNgMapa" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Pista ng Mapa</a> conference officially welcomed participants to the wide and green spaces of Foundation University in Dumaguete, Philippines. It was two-and-a-half days of mappiness for the 166 participants who gathered to celebrate Open data (especially, geodata) and Free software with local mapping communities in the Visayas region.</p>

  <p>It was awesome to see the enthusiastic number we’re able to gather, but it was more pleasing to note their diversity. We didn’t ask for our participants’ gender in our registration, but this group photo shows that no particular gender group eclipsed the other.</p>

  <p>If you’ve ever been to a Filipino festival, then you may have some idea how it’s like: noisy, tummy-filling, plenty of good stuff to be had, and a great time to party with old and new friends.</p>

  <p>Everyone had a great fest. There were plenty of opportunities to learn from each other and to sample a good number of technologies, applications, and software, and yet, many still groaned about the conference not being long enough: there was not enough time to digest all of the new ideas they were getting before they’re already off for the next workshop. Between that, we’d have folks already asking when the next <em>Pista</em> is going to happen.</p>

  <p>While the conference focused on local initiatives and concerns, friends from Indonesia, Singapore, and Canada gave the gathering an international flavor.</p>

  <h2 id="by-the-numbers">By the numbers</h2>

  <p>One of the <a href="https://twitter.com/maningsambale/status/1157124082409672704" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">mapathons</a> hosted during the conference was led by HOTOSM, and ably demonstrated the potentials of AI-assisted mapping for enhancing the abilities of new contributors, while they are learning to interpret imagery, as well as improve the quality of their contributions. Experienced mappers can also benefit from the AI boost.</p>

  <p>This ties well with the OSMph goal to reach out to the countryside, and grow enthusiasts and users, as well as help local stakeholders develop their baseline data.</p>

  <p>Details and updates about this initiative may be found in the <a href="https://github.com/OSMPH/Tabang-AI/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Tabang-AI repository</a>.</p>

  <p>Cebuano is the lingua franca in our host city, Dumaguete, and “Daghang salamat kaayo” means “thank you very much”.</p>

  <p>Special thanks goes out to all of our <strong>28</strong> volunteers from the local OpenStreetMap, OSGeo/FOSS4G, and map-py communities, the organizing team, <strong>7</strong> sponsors, and everyone who contributed by supporting our volunteers by the sidelines.</p>

summary:
  <p>On the eve of OpenStreetMap 15th anniversary on 9th August 2019, we organized a geo teaching session in Tagores Home Secondary School for children.</p>

  <p><img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/41476379/62776694-f8afb100-bac8-11e9-8f23-706f2f21a163.jpeg" alt="Children"></p>

  <p>We covered topics like Geography of India, Mountains, Solar system, Rivers and Neighbourhood drawing activity. Children were amazingly active and quick to understand whatever was taught. We also came to know from their teachers that these topics are part of their academics in the next quarter and glad that this session helped them as a mock program.</p>

  <p><img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/41476379/62776735-10873500-bac9-11e9-8c50-e6dc6b39d086.png" alt="collage2"></p>

  <p>Children showed great participation in drawing their neighborhood with the route from their home to school. We were astonished to their memory and observation skills through their drawings. The confidence they exhibited while explaining their own work to the whole class was exceptional and beyond their age.</p>

  <p><img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/41476379/62776763-24cb3200-bac9-11e9-8225-273a510d004c.jpeg" alt="Raghu1"></p>

  <p><img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/41476379/62776787-344a7b00-bac9-11e9-98dd-9b1019b5e6f8.jpeg" alt="Raghu2"></p>

  <p><img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/41476379/62776906-7ecbf780-bac9-11e9-8d0b-ab882004f704.jpg" alt="Last Pic"></p>

  <p>It was a fantastic day and the whole thing went to another level when children asked us to come back for teaching more… that moment was priceless. Still, remember our thoughts while coming back from the session that defines our whole program - “Our future is in safe hands” and that’s an undeniable truth.</p>

  <p>Finally, the cake!</p>

  <p><img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/41476379/62778240-7fff2380-bacd-11e9-87ea-c3cee4ca2da0.jpg" alt="Cake OSM-1"></p>

  #6358 - Mapathon Battle for Vulnerable Oil Spill Disaster Communities in Niger Delta Region,Nigeria-Tai LGA</p>

  <p>Ogoniland is a major oil spill disaster vulnerable area of Nigeria,being the host communities of crude oil exploitation in the Niger Region of Nigeria.Ogoniland land consist of four local government which includes Khana Local Governemnt Area of Rivers State. Following hazardous impact and damage of ogoniland by oil Spill disaster, UNEP assessed that the environmental restoration of Ogoniland would require coordinated efforts on the part of government agencies at all levels, industry operators and communities. UNEP also presented its recommendations as a major opportunity to bring new investment, employment opportunities and a culture of cooperation to Ogoniland in addition to driving improvements in the environmental and health situation on the ground.To effectively implement the UNEP recommendations for restoration of ogoniland,there is a need for a geographic data that provides critical building footprint in the area,especially,to identify and access the vulnerable oil spill communities. Maps produced would be used by government agencies and other stakeholders working to implement UNEP report on Ogoniland restorartion.</p>

summary:
  <p>Long time since I made a diary post but today I feel like it.</p>

  <p>Some time ago the Swedish post company did a reorganisation, where most postboxes got their collection times changed. I have been retagging some of these over time, but two days ago when I realized not all postboxes in my home town are mapped (<a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/73202326" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">found this one</a>), and the next day I realized two postboxes in my area were tagged wrong (one hasn’t existed since I moved here many years ago and one has been moved <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/73209761" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">changeset</a>) I figured I’d do something about this.</p>

  <p>Yesterday I compared the postboxes existing in OSM with the ones on Postnord’s website, and made a list</p>

  <p><img src="http://grillo.users.openstreetmap.se/maillund/IMG_4578.JPG" alt="page 1">
  <img src="http://grillo.users.openstreetmap.se/maillund/IMG_4579.JPG" alt="page 2"></p>

  <p>I usually map on printed maps, so this was quite old school. I then went out today and took pictures of all the postboxes that were missing and noted down the new collection times.</p>

  <p>Fascinatingly, one postbox that was missing from Postnord’s website actually existed in real life, confirming the OSM ideas of always checking what’s on the ground. Also, two claimed to exist were nowhere to be found.</p>

  <p>This trip, even though it was quite local, took me about 5 hours including a short lunch break. This was far more time than expected, but felt satisfying in the end.</p>

A user experience survey was carried out in February and March to better understand how users used the software and how users were spending time within the software. Based on the results of the survey HOT plans to better integrate the Tasking Manager with iD in order to improve the experience for mappers and provide user instructions in one tool. This will allow mappers to report back from a task directly from inside the integrated iD editor. Integration also opens the way to dynamically populate the iD editor with tagging presets and specific validation rules depending on the map features that are requested by humanitarian organisations in each of the different projects.</li>
