  <p>Also road segments with no speed limit information at all are now marked with thin, gray lines.</p>
  <p>PS: as the original ITO speed limit map has been discontinued, which I originally based the color scheme on, I may refactor the color scheme / color-to-speed mapping at some point</p>

  <h2><a name="_web_frontend"></a>Web frontend</h2>
  <ul>
  <li> Empty paper format choice for multi page layout </li>
  <li> When going back the paper format tab did no longer show the [Next] button </li>
  <li> When going all the way back and choosing a different map section or layout, the choice of possible paper formats would not be updated accordingly </li>
  <li> When uploading a GPX or UMAP file with a non-ascii character, like e.g. &#8220;ö&#8221;, in its name the frontend ran into a conversion error causing a 503 error page </li>
  </ul>
  <hr>
  <h2><a name="_rendering_backend"></a>Rendering backend</h2>
  <ul>
  <li> The OSM Notes overlay fails to add its own index category if no indexeable items were found on the base map layer. Instead of failing hard the overlay is just disabled in such cases for now </li>
  <li> Also in general a failure inside an overlay plugin will only terminate the processing of that overlay, and not of the complete map request </li>
  <li> When requesting re-render of an old request that included uploaded GPX or UMAP files no longer available in the servers upload directory, the request will now still succeed, but will be missing the GPX or UMAP overlay data, instead of failing completely </li>
  </ul>
  <hr>
  <h2><a name="_open_rendering_bugs"></a>Open rendering bugs</h2>
  <ul>
  <li> With large map areas, or when using the &#8220;Pencil&#8221; style, the render process will sometimes run out of memory. To prevent this from happening I would have to reduce the maximum map area substantially. Instead I consider adding a &#8220;soft&#8221; size limit that will show a warning in the web frontend when being exceeded. E.g. on more than 10x10km² a warning would be shown, and anything above 20x20km² would still be refused up front &#8230; </li>
  <li> Sometimes the Mapnik renderer runs into a segmentation fault and crashes. There&#8217;s not much about that I&#8217;d be able to do about that. It seems to be related to large map sizes, too, but I need to track this down further yet &#8230; </li>

Im Februar und März wurde eine Anwenderbefragung durchgeführt, um besser zu verstehen, wie die Anwender die Software genutzt haben und wie sie Zeit mit der Software verbrachten. Basierend auf den Ergebnissen der Umfrage plant HOT eine bessere Integration des Tasking Managers in iD, um die Benutzerfreundlichkeit zu verbessern und Benutzeranweisungen in einem Tool bereitzustellen. Auf diese Weise können Mapper direkt aus dem integrierten iD-Editor heraus über eine Aufgabe berichten. Die Integration eröffnet auch die Möglichkeit, den iD-Editor dynamisch mit Tagging-Presets und spezifischen Validierungsregeln zu füllen, abhängig von den Map-Features, die von humanitären Organisationen in den verschiedenen Projekten angefordert werden.</li>

summary:
  <p>So out of things I did not expect I’d ever do on OSM, here’s one of them.</p>

  <p>I’ve been using OsmAnd to cache OSM data to have with me as a reference while hiking in Bosnia a couple of weeks ago. I noticed that one of the trails in the app goes through what on a paper map I had with me was marked as a suspected minefield - a remnant of the 90s war. I checked with the local mountain rescue service, and indeed they confirmed that there is a danger area there.</p>

  <p><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/Z21YxszhNYAA4kGzPgBRXVKudWC3AnZm9xQ7Vh7ZDt2pwwQ4MZh7VAsIHpw-_pTiodT0xNDdLDJyAhckP3xPOFjeYkbOercZ7rRB9n6ASmPrXqbbgjz_WXxE7JlPw06kkY-Ug-zgyhM=w2400" alt=""></p>

  <p>So while I do not have enough data to map out the actual extent of the suspected minefields in these mountains, and I do not want to digitize it from the paper map I have, what I can do is to correct the path that the previous hiker took - and thankfully lived long enough to map - and snap it to my own GPS trace. I followed the hiking trail markers, which I was told was the proper thing to do in the area.</p>

  <p>I prefer to not have OSM explicitly or implicitly suggest dangerous behaviour!</p>

I had some ideas for an adventurous return, but it seemed more important to get back into a routine. So I ended up picking a familiar route. What made the outing special was the mix of people I met.<br /><br />I suspect the break in the rain contributed to a good number of cheerful cyclists, joggers, and walkers. In addition a group of young lads wanted me to stop so that they could show off their cycling tricks; a couple of police teased me for chickening out of riding through the flood; and a mother leaped to rescue her child's buggy, as it trundled towards the harbour edge (she had forgotten to put the brake on).<br /><br />Bottling the flood meant that I turned back slightly earlier than I had intended, so at the other end I overshot a bit, to make up the planned 14 miles.

summary:
  <p>Back in March I posted a <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/nvk/diary/47890" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">diary entry</a> proposing to add basic support for disputed borders <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_of_view_(philosophy)" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">point-of-view</a> (aka worldview) to <strong>OpenStreetMap</strong>. I was able to complete that work, primarily in March, April, May, and June of this year, by adding <code>disputed=yes</code>, <code>disputed_by=*</code>, <code>claimed_by=*</code>, and <code>recognized_by=*</code> tags. More work remains (see below), please contribute!</p>

  <p>The open source <strong>Tilezen</strong> project was updated in June in v1.8 (<a href="https://github.com/tilezen/vector-datasource/releases/tag/v1.8.0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">changelog</a>) to add support for the OpenStreetMap tags (<a href="https://github.com/tilezen/vector-datasource/blob/v1.8.0/vectordatasource/transform.py#L8964-L9157" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">view source</a>). The <a href="https://developers.nextzen.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Nextzen</a> vector tile build now includes that data with circa 2019-July OSM planet file. Props to @Matt for the extensive work this entailed.</p>

  <p>I released a new version of the <strong>Bubble Wrap</strong> map style for <a href="https://github.com/tangrams/tangram" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Tangram</a>, using the Nextzen source to visualize these changes (<a href="https://github.com/tangrams/bubble-wrap/pull/277" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">PR #277</a>). There’s now a “POV” point-of-view menu in the upper-right corner that will toggle the different visual treatments.</p>

  <p><em>Above: Showing different boundary points-of-view for China, India, Pakistan, paired with label localization.</em></p>

  <h1 id="show-me-the-disputed-openstreetmap-data">Show me the disputed OpenStreetMap data</h1>

  <p>An overview of where I edited (and where I haven’t edited yet) is summarized below. I used Natural Earth (which I am the primary author, and v5.0.0-pre3) as a starting point. I encourage other OpenStreetMap editors to help refine the data according to further research and discussion. Next Nextzen planet update will likely be in December 2019 ;)</p>

  <p>I used a combination of Overpass-Turbo select boundary features and JOSM to do the editing. My commits (under user @nvk) have the <code>#disputed_by_claimed_by</code> tag in comment messages.</p>

  <p>Example workflow:</p>

  <ol>
    <li>Select data in <a href="http://overpass-turbo.eu/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Overpass-Turbo</a>
      <ol>
        <li>Zoom to an area of interest (see list below)</li>
        <li>Set query, like this to gather up all country, region, and disputed ways:
       <code>    
       [out:json][timeout:250];
       // gather results
       (
         // query part for: “admin_level=2”
         way["admin_level"="2"]({{bbox}});
         way["admin_level"="4"]({{bbox}});
         way["boundary"="disputed"]({{bbox}});
         way["boundary"="claim"]({{bbox}});
         way["disputed"="yes"]({{bbox}});
         relation["claimed_by"]({{bbox}});
         relation["disputed_by"]({{bbox}});
         relation["recognized_by"]({{bbox}});
       );
       // print results
       out body;
       &gt;;
       out skel qt;
      </code></li>
        <li>“Run” to see results, often saying “I’m okay with lots of data”</li>
        <li>Export to “download” as raw OSM data</li>
      </ol>
    </li>
    <li>Edit data in <a href="https://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Download" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">JOSM</a>
      <ol>
        <li>Use a 2 button mouse, it’s easier than a trackpad</li>
        <li>Load the OSM export file into JOSM</li>
        <li>Add/modify/delete tags on ways:
          <ul>
            <li><code>disputed=yes</code> which is generally supported by many renderers as dashed line.</li>
            <li><code>disputed_by=AA;BB;CC</code> to lists disputant viewpoints for the way, like <code>MA;PS;SA</code>. This turns “off” the line for that country’s viewpoint.</li>
            <li><code>admin_level:AA=4;6</code> rare! only if the claiming country views the de-facto country boundary instead as a region or county line</li>
          </ul>
        </li>
        <li>Add/modify/delete way’s membership in relations
          <ul>
            <li>Ensure relation is of <code>type=boundary</code>, or add new relation of that type</li>
            <li>Give the relation a <code>name=*</code> value like <code>Extent of Western Sahara claim with Morocco</code></li>
          </ul>
        </li>
        <li>Ensure relation has the right tags
          <ul>
            <li><code>boundary=disputed</code> or <code>boundary=claim</code>  as appropriate</li>
            <li><code>claimed_by=DD;EE;FF</code> to list which ISO country codes claim this frontier limit (but does not control it), like <code>EH</code></li>
            <li><code>disputed_by=GG;HH;II</code> lists disputant viewpoints for the way, like <code>MA;PS;SA</code></li>
            <li><code>recognized_by=XX;YY;ZZ</code> to indicate which ISO country codes, even though they don’t claim the territory, recognize the claim and should see it in their viewpoint as a country/region/county, like <code>DZ</code>.</li>
          </ul>
        </li>
        <li>Save, adding commit message and tag <code>#disputed_by_claimed_by</code>.</li>
      </ol>
    </li>
    <li>Verify changes on OSM.org to ensure there aren’t default display regressions (say at zoom 16)</li>
    <li>Verify changes in vector tile build to verify point-of-view tags</li>
    <li>Repeat until for each disputed area until it’s fixed up</li>
  </ol>

  <p>Bonjour,</p>

  <p>je voudrais présenter aujourd’hui un projet entrepris il y a assez longtemps. Le but originel était de faire une carte des bus, un peu comme la carte OpenTransportMap, mais en incorporant les vraies couleurs des lignes de bus, comme sur une carte classique. J’ai donc utilisé Mapbox, avec des données supplémentaires provenant de OpenStreetMap et téléchargées en GeoJson avec Overpass Turbo.
  J’ai ensuite décidé de l’incorporer dans un site web pour pouvoir l’utiliser. Ca a pris du temps, car j’étais encore novice en développement web. Utilisant pour la carte déjà un peu de Javascript, j’ai décidé d’apporter des fonctionnalités supplémentaires à mon site : calcul d’itinéraires avec Navitia, interactivité, informations sur les lignes… Jusqu’à donner ce que j’ai appelé ensuite “Just Go !” (par manque d’imagination probablement). Je l’utilise régulièrement, et je me permet de vous présenter mes résultats (ça me ferait juste plaisir, j’ai pas mis de moyen de rémunération de toute manière)….</p>

  <p>Hallo Leute,</p>

  <p>ich bin ein Kind der Stadt Osterode. Daher ist es mir ein Anliegen, die Stadt aus dem digitalen Schatten zu holen und die vielen tollen Dinge in OSM sichtbar zu machen. 
  Ich lese fleißig OSM-Doku, aber wennn mir noch was durchrutscht, seht es mir bitte nach :) 
  Dann freue ich mich über Kommentare &amp; Mails, um weiter dazuzulernen.</p>

  <p>Beste Grüße,</p>

  <p>Jens</p>

  <h3 id="why-are-mappers-using-landusevillagegreen-in-the-wrong-way">Why are mappers using landuse=village_green in the wrong way?</h3>
  <p>More than once in the past few years have I started and participated in various topics on the tagginglist (as well as on the local Dutch forum) where the precise use of the landuse=village_green was discussed.<br>
  A <strong>Village Green</strong> is a situation that is <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:landuse%3Dvillage_green" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">described in the wiki</a>, and I quote:</p>

  <p><em>“… is a distinctive part of a village centre. It’s an area of common land, usually grass but often including flowers, shrubs, small trees and a pond, located in the centre of a village (quintessentially English - defined separately from ‘common land’ under the Commons Registration Act 1965 and the Commons Act 2006).”</em></p>

  <p>The <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/village_green" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">proposal (in 2006)</a> and the final voting (two in favor and none against!) never reached a wide audience (which back in 2006 of course was much smaller than nowadays) so nobody outside the UK realy knew or understood its meaning and specific use.</p>

  <p>The following text is partly copied from my posting on the tagging list:</p>

  <p>Because I found out that the tag is greatly misused, I did an extended research to get more details about its current use.  <br>
  My research is based on the <strong>OSM dataset of 14 july 2019</strong>.</p>

  <p>The total number of tags for landuse=village_green is: 91645<br>
  I then took a selection of 22 countries (see table at end) and compared the uses per country to its use in the UK, because that country seems to be the main reason for the existence of this tag.<br>
  In those 22 countries the tag is used 55721 times and there are 5569 unique mappers responsible for using it.<br>
  I was surprised to see that in the country where I live, the Netherlands, the tag was used <strong>260% more</strong> than in the UK!<br>
  Given the original definition you could expect that in the Netherlands (based on the number of cities/towns/villages and assuming that each of those indeed <em>had</em> a Village Green - which isn’t true) there could be at most <strong>2440</strong> Village Greens, not the <strong>5131</strong> we have now. Where, then, are the 2691 others located??</p>

  <p><em>And what about the other countries?</em><br>
  I started first by randomly (worldwide, with the help of overpass) looking at the map to see what people had marked with the tag, but later created a database application which allowed me to load faster the data of the map and inspect it.</p>

  <p><strong>My strategy was this:</strong><br>
  For each of the 22 countries in my list, I sorted on changeset number to have the data in oldest-newest format. Interesting to see that its first use (12 years ago) wasn’t in the UK but in Germany, where the tag is anyway used more than in any other country. The most recent use was some days before I finished my research.<br>
  I took the two oldest uses, the two most recent uses and one in the middle, to create a set of 110 changesets for visual inspection of the tag on the map.<br>
  The result (based on my earlier look at its use) didn’t surprise me at all: 65% of the landuse=village_green tag is <strong><em>not used according</em></strong>  the definition in the wiki!<br>
  Because I first couldn’t believe the result, I started again, but now taking only one country and visited 20 randomly changesets. That made things worse: sometimes (by being very liberal in my judgement of what a village green could be, even accepting a small area of grass somewehere around the village center) the misuse raised to 80%!</p>

  <h3 id="what-can-we-conclude-from-this">What can we conclude from this?</h3>
  <p>In the <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tag:landuse%3Dvillage_green" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">wiki talk-page</a> I already announced this problem and suggested to adapt the wiki to allow for different uses, based on consensus reached per country. We do that already for Spain and Germany (as you can read in the wiki), although that use is more according its intended use.</p>

  <p>What I see now is a <em>competely different</em> use for landuse=village_green. <br>
  The most frequent (ab)use now are all areas covered with grass (anywhere in a village or even in rural areas), the centers of roundabouts, along stretches of highways, and the kind of “green” that you see on the photos on the <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tag:landuse%3Dvillage_green" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">wiki talk-page</a>.<br>
  This wrong use is understandable: the word “village” and the word “green” both lead - for those not being native English speakers nor reading the wiki nor knowing anything about the historical context - to using it for the situations I mentioned above.</p>

  <p>There are of course more occurences of faulty tags (other than landuse=village_green) for a given situation, but not to the extent that we see with the landuse=village_green tag.</p>

  <p>The number of Village Greens is bound to some upper limit, someday we have all of them in OSM, but then people will still use that tag (as they do now) because it fits <em>their definition</em>, neglecting the wiki.  <br>
  The situation that we have now: mappers are using a key-value pair (landuse=village_green) for tagging landuse that is not supposed to be tagged that way in at least 65% of the cases I investigated. <br>
  In the future that number will rise to the point where <em>almost all use</em> of landuse=village_green is wrong (or not according what wiki describes).</p>

  <p><strong>Interested in its use around you?</strong><br>
  I have created an overpass that you can run in your own area.<br>
  It finds all landuse=village_green that is within 25 meters of a junction=roundabout. <br>
  The example that is included in this overpass query, is typical in its misuse of this tag.<br>
  Please be aware that it is time consuming for large areas.<br>
  The overpass is here: (move to your area of interest and hit the execute button.  <br>

  <p><strong>Does this situation need our attention?</strong> <br>
  And if so, how do we deal with it? Given the very few reactions to my <a href="https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2019-July/046651.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">latest posting on the tagging list</a>, my conclusion is that <em>nobody really cares</em>. Do you?</p>

summary:
  <p>Experiment on Disputed and Claimed OSM boundaries</p>

  <p>I made an attempted to display boundaries according to some countries official point of view. Most of boundary are consensual. But some are de facto with no recognition from one or two of the neighbors. This facto are the ground mapped in OSM.
  But some countries have different political claims over the territories. Display this claim is often mandatory in these countries.
  So some boundaries or territories are disputed by countries. Disputed here meaning, that the country is  not officially recognized the de facto ground status. Some other boundaries or territories are claimed.
  The idea here is partially based on the rejected proposed features “Mapping disputed boundaries”.</p>

  <p>Consensual borders does not require more details.</p>

  <p>Disputed boundaries are here treated as way level. As only a part of the de facto boundary is rejected.</p>

  <p>Claim over territories are treated on <code>boundary=claim</code> relation as extent of the facto boundary relation. <code>boundary=claim</code> relation are not closed relation. De facto boundaries relation, minus disputed way, plus  boundary=claim should done a closed relation.</p>

  <p>In this experiment I do no try to rebuild this closed polygon. I based on <a href="https://github.com/pnorman/osmborder" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">osmborder</a> to derive a <a href="https://github.com/frodrigo/osmborder/tree/disputed_claim" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">modified version</a>. Originally, the tool de-duplicate the border from the relations to ease the render.</p>

  <p>So in the output of the tool, a way of boundary is marked as:
  * neutral, if is part of the standard de facto ground boundary framework, the standard OSM meaning of boundaries.
  * disputed, if has <code>disputed=yes</code>, <code>dispute=yes</code>, <code>border_status=dispute</code>, <code>disputed_by</code> or <code>boundary=disputed</code> tag, plus if is part of a <code>boundary=claim relation</code>. Typically can be rendered with dash. Note, a  neutral de facto can be disputed.
  * disputed_by, list of countries code rejecting this way as a boundary.
  * claimed_by, list of countries code claiming this this way as boundary.</p>

  <p>The de facto map can be show using the neutral marker. Additionally all ways marked as disputed and and not as neutral can be display with dash.</p>

  <p>A political view according to a country can be display by:
  1. using the neutral ways where the country is not in the disputed_by list,
  2. using the ways where the country is in the claimed_by list.</p>

  <p>To implement this on vector tiles I have to make a trick. The disputed_by and claimed_by lists can not be embedded on vector tiles and used by Mapbox GLS JS. I use an integer as bitmaps to flag a country in disputed_by and claimed_by.</p>

That's not as impressive as it sounds, because I started from Etal. However, on a round trip of more than 30 miles, I reached the marvellous <a href="http://www.unionbridgefriends.com/" target="_blank">Union Chain Bridge</a>, and rode across to pay a ceremonial visit.<br /><br />From Etal I first headed east, beyond Bowsden to Lowick Mill. A strong following wind helped me up the climb. Then I turned north towards Ancroft. There followed a long stretch into a strong headwind, which wasn't a lot of fun. Then the drop down into Horncliffe and the River Tweed went more easily.<br /><br />By now I was running late and getting tired. I skipped a planned stop at the Honey Farm, and when I reached Norham I called home to say that my return would be later than intended. The scenery was lovely on the final leg south to Etal - but it was hard work.<br /><br />In summary, I've discovered (nicked) a great route for a fitter cyclist. It's almost entirely on quiet rural back-roads. There's very little traffic. The rolling landscape makes for variety, and offers some terrific distant views. There are memorable highlights at the Union Bridge across the River Tweed, at Norham Castle, the path along the banks of the River Till near Etal, and at Etal itself. Yesterday a strong wind didn't help, but I've learned an important lesson about my own limitations: I hit them at less than 30 miles. For now.

summary:
  <p>To be fair, we were validating. We validated 5% of the tasks and invalidated 4%. So we went over 9% of the tasks. In 2 hours. With the group of 5 people. And one of us was validating for the first time.</p>

  <p>The point is that the validation is not fixing. <em>The validation is approving</em>.</p>

  <p>I would like to note our small contribution from Prague. Inspired by London Missing Maps mappers, we started small mapathons this summer. These mapathons are for advanced mappers, we use <a href="http://josm.openstreetmap.de/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">JOSM</a>, and this time, it was a validation time. I went over multiple sources describing how to validate. I used <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Tasking_Manager/Validating_data" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">OSM wiki</a> as a primary source. Then <a href="https://learnosm.org/en/coordination/tasking-manager3/#validation" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">LearnOSM</a>, <a href="http://www.missingmaps.org/host/#Materials" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">MissingMaps</a>, and browsed multiple links pointed out by these sources. I attended HOT validation training webinar. I found out these pieces of information bloated, so I stripped them and picked up what I consider helpful.</p>

  <p>There are fewer validators than mappers. <em>If validators want to keep up with mappers, they need to validate faster than the mappers are mapping</em>.</p>

  <p>Our group was validating buildings with the following workflow:</p>

  <ul>
    <li>
      <p>Find out if you are going to invalidate task, usually because of not-orthogonalized buildings, missing buildings, lousy geometry, or buildings mapped with bad imagery.</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>Orthogonalize all the buildings with 4 nodes:</p>

      <ul>
        <li><code>Ctrl + F</code> and find <code>buildings nodes:4 inview</code>.</li>
        <li>Press <code>Q</code>.</li>
      </ul>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>Upload changes and invalidate task with the comment why.</p>
    </li>
  </ul>

  <p>Of course, if there is no problem and everything is mapped as described in instructions, just browse the square and find out if everything is <em>really</em> ok. MarkSeen plugin can help here. If there is one building with wrong dimensions or bad rotation, fix it (Utilsplugin2 and <code>X</code> for resizing help here a lot). If you find out the second one, invalidate. Validating is approving, remember?</p>

  <p>When you are tagging mapper within the message in Tasking Manager (in JOSM, you can see the list of authors with their % of contribution), do it only once. Probably, you will validate multiple squares of that mapper. He or she does not have to read 20 messages from you saying: “Please, orthogonalize buildings.”</p>

  <p>The last thing is that this is not the validation guide. Every validator is an individual. Each square needs a different approach. Find out what works for you. But remember:</p>

  <p><em>There is always more mappers than validators. Therefore, validation must be much faster than mapping</em>.</p>

  <p><em>During validation, you are not fixing. You are approving.</em></p>

summary:
  <p>I’m now taking a look on Ichi-Sansho-Joho data from MLIT, Japan.
  This is quite powerful dataset about place name, and could be used as OpenStreetMap edits. (include imports, although it is not fully activated)</p>

  <p><a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JA:MLIT_ISJ" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JA:MLIT_ISJ</a></p>

  <p>Seeing Japanese place/address name sample structure, some errors might be contained.
  This is a note for further works.</p>

  <p><a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eAE72mjCLoJVGZo5qRhCYK22UxVQ8bpbQSU9ZLHq40o/edit#gid=0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eAE72mjCLoJVGZo5qRhCYK22UxVQ8bpbQSU9ZLHq40o/edit#gid=0</a></p>

  <ul>
    <li>“11”,”埼玉県”,”11234”,”八潮市”,”112340013002”,”大字二丁目”,”35.821729”,”139.846276”,”0”,”3”</li>
  </ul>

  <p>-&gt; Code 3 could be error. Code 1 would be correct. This is quarter named “大字二丁目”.  Despite of “丁目” is included.</p>

  <ul>
    <li>“27”,”大阪府”,”27145”,”堺市南区”,”271450017000”,”竹城台四丁”,”34.498107”,”135.500217”,”0”,”1”</li>
    <li>“27”,”大阪府”,”27145”,”堺市南区”,”271450035000”,”竹城台二丁”,”34.498169”,”135.505486”,”0”,”1”</li>
    <li>“27”,”大阪府”,”27145”,”堺市南区”,”271450074000”,”竹城台三丁”,”34.493790”,”135.503225”,”0”,”1”</li>
    <li>“27”,”大阪府”,”27145”,”堺市南区”,”271450075000”,”竹城台一丁”,”34.500963”,”135.510525”,”0”,”1”</li>
  </ul>

  <p>-&gt; Probably original structure is correct, but “n丁” should be devided in the case of use for OSM.
  Those are Code 1 column, but should be treated as variant of Code 3.</p>

  <ul>
    <li>“04”,”宮城県”,”04103”,”仙台市若林区”,”041030090000”,”蒲町東”,”38.245498”,”140.932557”,”0”,”3”</li>
    <li>“07”,”福島県”,”07207”,”須賀川市”,”072070142000”,”北山寺町”,”37.30542”,”140.364113”,”0”,”3”</li>
    <li>“07”,”福島県”,”07207”,”須賀川市”,”072070143000”,”西山寺町”,”37.303127”,”140.358357”,”0”,”3”</li>
    <li>“07”,”福島県”,”07207”,”須賀川市”,”072070144000”,”山寺町”,”37.302309”,”140.364716”,”0”,”3”</li>
  </ul>

  <p>-&gt; Code 3 might be error. I guess those lines should be Code 2.</p>

  <p>And Code 3 lines (丁目) should be divided into 2 nodes. (quarter (町名) and neighbourhood (丁目).)
  Some quarter might be duplicated to Code 1 lines.</p>

  <p>And it seems “釧路市昭和”（大字, quarter）and “釧路市昭和町” are same district, but need more check if it is correct.</p>

  After over-reaching myself on Thursday I covered an unambitious eighteen miles today. It was a minor variation on my standard loop. There were a couple of light showers, a blustery wind, and heavier traffic than usual for back roads on a Sunday afternoon. Nothing remarkable though: all went well, and various numbers have shifted slightly in the right direction.

summary:
  <p>This is a gist of all the work that was done during the summer of 2019 under Google Summer Of Code (GSOC) to further improve the PT Assistant plugin which assists mappers in mapping Public Transport systems as well as Bicycle and hiking itineraries.</p>

  <h1 id="aim-of-the-project">Aim of the Project</h1>

  <p>To further improve the plugin in a way that it helps mappers in mapping public transport systems as well as Bicycle itineraries with ease and a lot of further changes to make the plugin more helpful and flexible to the mapper. The assistant became more user-friendly and should act as a true assistant with smarter decision-making capabilities.</p>

  <h1 id="end-results">End Results</h1>

  <p>The plugin is now much more capable, processing the data in the background and presenting the result to enable the mappers to make decisions especially with new features like routing helper for bicycle, the extended data model for public transport, and some new key functions in old routing helper. All the major achievements of this summer have been listed below :</p>

  <h2 id="extending-routing-helper-for-bicycles">Extending routing helper for bicycles</h2>

  <p>Previous Routing Helper was dedicated to public transport so my task was to extend it further for Bicycles. As Bicycle follows the original mapping model for route relations, they are different than the route relations for public transport. Bicycle routes contain “forward” and backward roles on its ways to separate branches were traversing the route in one direction differs from the route in the opposite direction.  The order of the member ways is different than pt-routes. So the basic idea of the router was the same first it starts from the beginning of the route and checks for gaps in the route and at every step, it checks for the validity of the current traversing way and if it finds something wrong it shows users options to fix that.</p>

  <p><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&amp;id=1p_7fcuDtIiJ130V68t0USBLBlF6ipZ_f" alt="suggest ways on bicycle routes"></p>

  <p>when routing helper finds any invalid way it suggests some fixes</p>

  <p><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&amp;id=1bZkUAr6hiQyDZU5Y8ep8gFZeKbcjayJV" alt="remove invalid ways"></p>

  <p>when closing a loop it assigns the forward and backward roles as needed, depending on the direction of the individual ways.</p>

  <p><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&amp;id=1gOXVDp1wesmqwacoX1W8bx4-SZoc4bZy" alt="fixing the roles"></p>

  <h2 id="addition-of-option-8-for-splitting-the-white-edge">Addition of option 8 for splitting the white edge</h2>

  <p>The way before a gap is colored white, the way after a gap is colored gray.</p>

  <p>Sometimes this white way doesn’t need to be used completely. Before one had to split it manually and restart the routing helper.
  Now using option 8 it will suggest all possible sideways from every internal node one by one and when you select such a sideway, it will automatically split the way from that node and add the selected option to the relation table.
  e.g when you press 8 it will suggest you a number of possible options to split the way and select your option.</p>

  <p><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&amp;id=1dJJI50WbDOLKKe_D4pv3rhVtPlPkGqPH" alt="After pressing 8"></p>

  <p>when you select your way then it will split the way on the selected node.</p>

  <p><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&amp;id=1fHBS5ir5wd0KOFsDLeD9GK2T7hCx7WUD" alt="After backtracking"></p>

  <h2 id="major-improvements-in-sorting-pt-route-members">Major Improvements in sorting pt-route members</h2>

  <p>As previously sorting of PT-members was not able to detect the wrong (traffic) side stops and after sorting some of the stops were getting repeated along with the way it served. Now after sorting that difficulty has been removed and it also detects the wrong side stops and ask mapper to remove it or not it will also take care of the stops which can be served in the selected route relation if it can be served then it checks its validity otherwise it will ask permission to remove that stops.</p>

  <p><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&amp;id=1t6IgFBSE43fe-yE2J2fVjpSxXy2YZj4k" alt="Sorting"></p>

  <h2 id="extended-data-set">Extended data set</h2>

  <p>There have been a lot of changes in the data model of PT-assistant. Now you can find the nearest stop (serving stops) to a particular way and the nearest way (adjacent way) to a specific stop. from the current downloaded dataset, you can find all stops and their nearest ways and vice-versa. Also, every way and stop will store their corresponding stops and ways respectively as well as their serving side (e.g right side stops or left side stops according to the direction of way)</p>

  <h2 id="breaking-relation-into-edges">Breaking relation into edges</h2>

  <p>Now Every relation of the current downloaded dataset can be broken into edges where every edge will be made of several ways which are serving the same set of relations and from every edge, we can find the number of stops it is serving as well as their side of serving way(left side or right side) they contain a color which will change according to their number of ways and try to make a rainbow. It will help the user to visualize the data more easily. After every download, it will compute the edges again and will change the dataset</p>

  <h1 id="challenges-faced">Challenges Faced</h1>

  <p>In the start of the program, I was struggling with a very large codebase as It was my first experience working for an open-source organization. Another challenge which I faced was when I was working on the Bicycle Router and splitting the white edge. I had to deal with lots of exceptional cases in bicycle routes such as assigning forward and backward roles, getting suitable ways for bicycle and so many other corner cases but after lots of testing, it became very reliable.</p>

  <h1 id="overall-experience">Overall Experience</h1>

  <p>I really enjoyed the work with the support of some amazing mentors it was really fun to solve some difficult problems. As it was my first experience working as an intern in an open-source organization I learned a lot. firstly I want to thank Openstreetmap for providing such great mentors. It has been a great experience working with an amazing mentor like Jo(Polyglot). I would also like to thank Michael Zangl, Francois de Metz for his support in resolving all the technical issues I faced throughout the summer. Also a special thanks to Google for giving me such an opportunity to work with an organization like OpenStreetMap.</p>

summary:
  <p>Не прошло и трех недель, а валидатор наконец начал что-то валидировать. Теперь он умеет находить две проблемы.</p>

  <p>1) У здания есть части (building parts), но у частей <strong>отсутствует высота</strong>. Поэтому  3D модель построить невозможно.</p>

  <p>2) Высота присутствует, но имеется <strong>одна единственная</strong> часть (building part). Здание с одной единственной частью – какое-то очень странное здание, и не соответствует спецификации  Simple 3D Buildings.  Частей должно быть как минимум две, и они должны покрывать контур здания.</p>

  <p>Здание с первой проблемой окрашивается красным цветом, со второй – желтым.</p>

  <p><a href="http://3dcheck.zkir.ru/+55+037.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">http://3dcheck.zkir.ru/+55+037.html</a></p>

  <p>Заодно добавил вывод числа частей зданий. Видно, что приличная модель начинается от 20 building parts.</p>

  <hr>

  <p>Наметились и технические трудности. Blender 3D, который собственно и строит модели, на удаленном (и уже оплаченном) сервере через remote desktop работать на отрез отказался.</p>

  <ul>
    <li>Bing (2019): -0.75; 1.94 basically on the ground (This area is relatively flat), 2.08;-2.39 at the top of the embankment (My experience with GPS suggests the height is roughly 7 meters)</li>
    <li>GSImaps/ort: 1.64; 0.75 inside the embankment based on my GPS tracks</li>
  </ul>

  <h2 id="notes">Notes</h2>

  <div class="e2-text-picture">
  <img src="http://shtosm.ru/pictures/kiiv_old_map.jpg" width="1400" height="600" alt="" />
  </div>
  <p>OpenStreetMap — открытая карта улиц. Это назначение зашито в название проекта, потому что атласы всегда были для автомобилистов. Улицы, шоссе, грунтовки с подписями на фоне бледных лесов и городских районов. Лора Блисс в <a href="https://www.citylab.com/life/2019/08/thomas-guide-los-angeles-history-street-map-google-waze-app/591721/">статье для CityLab</a> вспоминает, как рассматривала атлас Лос-Анджелеса в детстве, когда водители считали за честь держать всю сетку улиц в голове и знать, как объехать пробку на магистрали, — и понимает, почему атласы уступили навигаторам.</p>
  <p>Мобильные навигаторы полностью меняют фокус: в них город вращается вокруг водителя, а не водитель находится где-то в городе. У карты на экране ни секунды покоя: она то поворачивается, то меняет масштаб. Нет времени её рассмотреть и понять. Поэтому запомнить город с экрана навигатора невозможно, остаётся следовать указаниям и надеяться, что по маршруту нет размытых мостов и перекрытых дорог. Но даже люди, которые когда-то помнили каждый переулок, отказываются от знаний и переходят на мобильные карты.</p>
  <p>Причина проста: пробки. Машин на дорогах всё больше, они блокируют не только магистрали, но и объездные маршруты. Когда-то тихие районы теперь перегружены машинами, потому что навигаторы советуют срезать через них. Хорошей памяти на улицы недостаточно: нужно получать информацию об авариях и заторах ежеминутно, чтобы не простоять два часа. Полезная карта для водителя — это живая карта в навигаторе.</p>
  <p>Сложно представить человека, который рассматривает карту в навигаторе. Она не предназначена для долгого взгляда. Главное на экране — синяя лента маршрута, чуть менее важны все остальные дороги слева и справа по ходу движения. Остальные элементы неинтересны, потому что по ним нельзя ехать. Хорошо бы их убрать или затенить, чтобы не отвлекать водителя. Мобильная карта — карта для автомобилиста, это карта улиц.</p>
  <p>Настольные карты тоже стремятся к утилитарности мобильных. Открой гугль — там белые дороги на светлом фоне, зато экран усыпан яркими булавками заведений: «кликни меня!» Карты яндекса красивее: дома, дворовые проезды, тропинки и велодорожки. Вроде как пёстро и интересно, но пяти минут достаточно, чтобы понять: эта карта тоже только для одной задачи: «проложи маршрут!» Невозможно уделять таким картам время, с ними нужно решить задачу и уйти.</p>
  <div class="e2-text-picture">
  <img src="http://shtosm.ru/pictures/many_maps.jpg" width="1400" height="600" alt="" />
  </div>
  <p>Мне с детства нравится рассматривать карты. Следить за линиями и обозначениями и находить взаимосвязи. Но рассматривание карты ушло в прошлое вместе с атласами. Теперь печатные карты — лишь <a href="https://t.me/shtosm/218">историческая ценность</a>. Две коробки моего картографического архива спрятаны где-то в шкафу, толстые красивые атласы пылятся под потолком, карты из спинки автомобильного сиденья я не доставал лет пять. Всё устарело, стимула покупать новое нет: там то же самое, только на свежих данных.</p>
  <p>Каждый год на конференциях State of the Map и FOSS4G устраивают конкурс плакатов. Кажется, вот оно: стой и рассматривай. <a href="https://t.me/foss4g_ru/366">Задерживаюсь у каждого</a> на несколько минут — но это же не карты. Это либо исследовательские работы, поданные в форме плаката, с горой текста, несколькими графиками и парой простых обзорных карт. Либо художественные работы, которые не сколько рассматриваешь, сколько воспринимаешь. Да, встречаются красивые, «Pop Art» когда-то я утянул домой и не жалею об этом. Но карты — красивые, глубокие карты больше не вешают. Карта стала утилитарна; если она не выполняет предназначение, она не нужна.</p>
  <p>Любопытные глаза теперь рассматривают спутниковые снимки. Присматриваются к контурам домов, прослеживают грунтовку через поля и леса. Находят правильные контуры военных объектов или деревню в глуши. Что это за пятно? Кто здесь живёт? Когда на одну точку есть шесть разных снимков, интересно их <a href="http://osmz.ru/imagery/">сравнить</a>, посмотреть, как застраивался город или меняла русло речка. Снимки бесконечны как вширь, так и вглубь: всегда есть интересный район или история, которую открывают две спутниковые фотографии, разделённые десятилетием.</p>
  <p>Для таких любопытных была сделана викимапия: люди просто подписывали все объекты на снимках, чтобы другие получили ответ на «а что здесь такое?» Подписывали без разбора, дом так же, как озеро, как военную часть или тропинку через лес. Оставляли комментарии: «о, я тут рыбу ловила, пока не заросло». Викимапия была уникальным проектом для любопытных — пока авторы проекта не забыли, кто к ним ходит, и не угробили проект рекламой и смещением фокуса на картографию.</p>
  <p>Казалось, вот два очевидных решения: люди смотрят на карточки — баннер же не помешает? И обвесили рекламой всё по периметру и немного внутри, чтобы пользоваться сайтом без адблока стало противно. И второе, наши редакторы же обводят снимки, а тут один шаг до классификации, чтобы получилась карта. Сделали — офигеть, карта начинает получаться, люди трассируют дороги и обводят населённые пункты. Вот только эти люди перестали уделять время тому, чем сайт был полезен: подписывать снимки, описывать спрятанные чудеса. Теперь они зачем-то дублируют работу, которую делают пользователи НЯК, OSM, Here. Делают недо-карту. Викимапия из уникального источника превратилась в никому не нужное подобие. Теперь на неё заходишь из жалости.</p>

  <p>Рассматривать викимапию неприятно, а карты гугля, яндекса и подобных — бессмысленно. Атласы ушли в прошлое, а на спутниковых снимках можно что-то различить, но не понять. Получается, рассматривать нечего? Напротив: ответ был перед нами все пятнадцать лет.</p>
  <p>Это OpenStreetMap. В отсутствие альтернатив OpenStreetMap стал главным атласом для рассматривания. Откроешь <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org">глагне</a>  — и залипнуть в карту можно надолго. Не только дороги и дома: тропинки, болота, фонтаны и места для пикника. Именно поэтому когда-то люди <a href="https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/pull/542">возмущались</a>, что railway=abandoned убирают со стандартного стиля: да, эти линии обозначают снятые рельсы, это не-объекты. Но когда смотришь на карту, они многое рассказывают об истории. Объясняют, почему там просека или тропинка. Интересная карта рассказывает историю, и сотни тысяч редакторов своими кусочками историй превращают OpenStreetMap в величайшую сказку на земле.</p>
  <p>Опытные участники знают, что наша карта внутри гораздо больше, чем снаружи. Модель данных OSM со свободными форматами и бесконечными схемами тегирования подталкивает редакторов к слишком детальному картированию. Они указывают номера квартир в подъездах, виды деревьев в парке и напряжение в ЛЭП. Загружая кусочек города в JOSM, никогда не знаешь, какие мелочи заинтересовали местного картографа. То дороги окажутся усыпаны пожарными гидрантами, а то придётся ворочаться промеж отрисованных поребриков.</p>
  <p>Карта богата внутри, но увидеть это богатство непросто. Раньше был набор из нескольких десятков визуализаций Ito Map: они показывали ограничения скорости, колеи железных дорог, освещённость, адресацию и кучу других атрибутов. К сожалению, в июле этот проект <a href="https://www.itoworld.com/ito-map-announcement/">закрыли</a>. У нас остались несколько тематических проектов типа <a href="https://www.openrailwaymap.org/">OpenRailwayMap</a> и <a href="https://zlant.github.io/parking-lanes/">Parking Lanes</a>. Проблема с ними в том, что их не найти. Ссылки рассыпаны по случайным страницам нашей вики, сайты включаются и выключаются в произвольные моменты времени. Они не столько углубляют представление об OpenStreetMap, сколько бросают: «а вот ещё какая штучка у нас есть». Вместо единой шкатулки драгоценностей получилась сеть музеев одной брошки.</p>

  <p>OpenStreetMap сродни карьеру, полному смыслов и геоданных. Чтобы в него углубиться, картостилей недостаточно, нужны более точные инструменты. Такие как Taginfo и Overpass API. Нашли интересный тег — запустили запрос, чтобы выкопать подобные объекты в своём районе — раскрасили и сделали себе тематическую карту. Подождали, пока лимит на плотность запросов отпустит, и продолжили раскопки. Скачали GeoJSON или подкрутили карту в редакторе. Очень увлекательно, это как править «матрицу», смотря на стекающие зелёные буковки. Только Level0 не хватает для комплекта. Думаю, лишь 400-500 человек на весь мир умеют смотреть так глубоко.</p>
  <p>Нормальные люди приходят на наш сайт и рассматривают картостиль OSM Carto. Они не знают о «подводной части» базы данных — а ведь в ней самое интересное. Мы уже победили всех остальных по глубине карты, по её залипательности. Но чтобы усилить эффект, нужно что-то делать. Одно из двух. Либо, подобно <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.de/">немецкой глагне</a>, заменить карту стеной текста со ссылками. Правда, с нашим мастерством принятия решений за результат может быть стыдно: вывесят туда ссылки на вики, на форум и на планету. Разбирайтесь, мол, сами. Второй выход — заменить тайлы в карте векторными.</p>
  <p>Любой картографический стиль делит классы объектов на карте надвое: те, что он отображает и те, что прячет. Это нормально: чем продуманнее картостиль, тем короче его легенда. И это свойственно печатным картам. Но у нас на сайте интерактивная карта с бесконечным количеством атрибутов. Глупо отображать для всех одно и то же, по-барски позволяя включить аж четыре других стиля. Сколько атрибутов — столько картостилей. Нас спасут только векторные тайлы. Каждый посетитель должен получать свой собственный срез данных, чтобы посмотреть и офигеть от разнообразия. Мы <a href="https://t.me/shtosm/97">обсуждали этот подход</a> во время прошлого State of the Map, но, кажется, никто не понимает, что нужно делать.</p>
  <p>Карта OpenStreetMap — это не картинка, которую можно рассматривать только вширь. Это калейдоскоп: покрути фильтры — и рассматривай заново, потому что открываются новые слои и новые взаимосвязи. Такое невозможно даже представить в коммерческой или печатной картографии, но мы, редакторы открытой карты, настолько привыкли к многогранной и запутанной модели данных, что даже не задумываемся, насколько уникальна и завораживающа наша карта. Мы пользуемся специальными инструментами, чтобы рассматривать грани, — а хорошо бы рассматривать их невооружённым взглядом.</p>
  <p>Улиц недостаточно. Пробки сиюминутны и потому не нужны. Важна общая картина. Карта обучает, просвещает, помогает найти себя в мире. Проект OpenStreetMap способен рассказать о твоём городе или маршруте столько, сколько не снилось атласам. Осталось придумать, как разрушить статус-кво с картостилями и недо-векторными тайлами от Mapbox. Мы можем сделать лучше. Карта должна быть свободной.</p>

summary:
  <h1 id="my-pista-ng-mapa-2019-experience">My Pista ng Mapa 2019 Experience</h1>

  <p>I don’t know where to start in my Pista ng Mapa 2019 experience because everything was amazing and unforgettable, but I’ll start from the very beginning of my journey.</p>

  <p>I was invited to Pista ng Mapa 2019 by my mentor. At that time, we just finished our CWTS++ session from our school. Us volunteers and with my mentor were just having our lunch and discussion from the session.  At the end of the discussion, he mentioned to us that we should apply a scholarship for Pista ng Mapa 2019. I was interested about the conference and the experience that I will be gaining. As I got home, I applied for a scholarship to Pista ng Mapa 2019. (Spoiler Alert) At that moment, I didn’t know that my application will be accepted. Days went passed by, and shortly I received an email. But at that time I didn’t check on my email, so I wasn’t notified. A day after the email was sent, I was notified by my peer that we were both shortlisted in the scholarship. I was shocked and hoping to get the scholarship. Fast forward through time and I was in tears of joy because I was accepted.</p>

  <p>2 weeks before the conference, I was nervous and excited at the same time. As I prepare myself for the conference, I practiced my public speaking skills and I prepared my knowledge to be shared in Dumaguete.</p>

  <p>Days went passed by and fast forward to my first flight experience. I consider this experience as one of the memorable, because it is a starting point for my adulthood experience. As I arrived in the airport, it is time for me and my peer to travel through air for the first time. Fast forward to Dumaguete, landing was bumpy and finally we have landed safely.</p>

  <p>Now here’s another memorable experience, when we were going to our accommodation. Long story short, we got lost but we found the location safely like after 30 minutes of finding it with some help online. I’ll consider it as a part of my being a mapper experience.</p>

  <p>After all the flight and getting lost, I have finally arrived at Dumaguete. After an hour, I went to Foundation University with my fellow travel grantees. As I arrived in the venue, I felt the warm welcoming to us. Upon the registration, I greeted everyone with a smile. There were a lot of workshops to choose from the conference. I was already familiar with the other workshops so that was an advantage for me to try the others.</p>

  <h1 id="day-1-of-pista-ng-mapa-2019">Day 1 of Pista ng Mapa 2019</h1>

  <ul>
    <li>
      <p>The Pista ng Mapa 2019 started with a warm welcoming to all attendees and proceeded with remarks and different talks. Later on, we had our break and proceeded with the workshops after.</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>My first workshop for the event was “Data Storytelling with Open Contracting Data”. It was about bringing together journalists, open data enthusiasts, storytellers, mappers, and visual artist to learn, be inspired, and to come up with their own version of data stories on public procurement. It was worth joining this workshop because it expanded my knowledge in analyzing, critically thinking, and in research. It left me with learnings to use.</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>My second workshop was “Geo* Data Science with Python”. It’s about a hands-on introduction to the commonly used tools for implementing geo data science workflows with Python. This workshop was intended for intermediate users, but I still enjoyed the content of the workshop because it shows how broad Python can be used. After the workshop, I had some chat with the professors and students of Foundation University. I consider our chat as a session because I gained more knowledge about the university and its similarity to ours.</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>My third workshop for the event is “OpenStreetMap Mapathon”. It’s about mapping pedestrian infrastructures with Pic4Review. I am already familiar with the workshop but I still enjoyed learning more of its content. It’s a win-win situation because I learned something again and I helped assist the validations.</p>
    </li>
  </ul>

  <h1 id="day-2-of-pista-ng-mapa-2019">Day 2 of Pista ng Mapa 2019</h1>

  <ul>
    <li>
      <p>The second day of Pista ng Mapa 2019 was more exciting because I consider it as the climax of the event. I’ll start the second day with my lightning talk, all the travel grantees is required to present a lightning talk. My lightning talk is about my CWTS++ program in my university Polytechnic University of the Philippines (San Juan Branch). The lightning talks presented by different groups were interesting and informational.</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>I consider this workshop as the most interesting one which is “DIY imagery collection for mapping”. This workshop is about learning to use high resolution imagery collected from off-the-shelf UAV devices for mapping in OpenStreetMap. The instructors taught us the inside and the outside of a drone. They also taught us the rules and regulations of CAAP in using drones and how to become a drone pilot. We went outside to collect images with the drones. It was a new experience and a whole new level. After the imagery collection, we created an available imagery and uploaded it.</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>The last workshop that I’ve entered is “Datamining OpenStreetMap with Overpass Turbo”. This workshop is about a hands-on-course on web-based geo data mining. I am already familiar with the workshop content, so I just helped my fellow peers understand Datamining with Overpass Turbo. Overall they learned how to use the platform.</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>Day 2 ends with “Geo-ladies Plenary Session”. Members of the Geo-ladies show how they navigate daily life society and the world. They also showed their interest and job. One of the members showed how she maps the ocean using sound waves.</p>

  <h1 id="day-3-of-pista-ng-mapa-2019">Day 3 of Pista ng Mapa 2019</h1>

  <ul>
    <li>Day 3 of Pista ng Mapa 2019 was all about field mapping in the streets near Foundation University. We collected data by using collecting street-level imagery or using the standard field paper. My group was set in B3 which contained a long street and some small streets. We collected a lot of data including names of the shops, school, and some buildings. Some of the areas are not yet mapped, so after collecting data from the field work, my group fully completed our area.</li>
  </ul>

  <p>After the field work, Pista ng Mapa 2019 is officially done. The last thing to do is to enjoy the last remaining hours in Dumaguete.</p>

  <p>I say good bye to Dumaguete as my plane officially takes off to Manila.</p>

  <h1 id="remarks">Remarks</h1>

  <p>Thank you to the organizers for making “Pista ng Mapa 2019” a wonderful experience. Thank you to the instructors and speakers for leaving me knowledge that I can use in my field of interest.  Thank you Pista ng Mapa 2019 for the unforgettable and knowledgeable experience that I’ve gained. Finally, thank you to my mentors and the OSM community for letting me have the chance to participate and experience Pista ng Mapa 2019.</p>

     Adjusting the newly created road data in OSM to better reflect the actual road. Without multiple GPS traces this would be impossible using aerial map data since the road is heavily covered by foliage. Also added minor roads in the area and updated POI names based on local knowledge.</p>

As I set off a local warned "<i>There's rain coming down the valley</i>". There was indeed, but until I reached Netherton it just threatened. Drizzle started as I turned back.<br /><br />On the way back I was confident about my route. Over-confident, because I didn't check the map at a key junction. That muddled things a bit. Nevertheless the gentle descent, aided by a tail wind, meant that things went a lot more quickly.  <br /><br />Unco-operative weather: but that didn't detract from the scenery at the head of the Aln Valley. The County Council has been out surfacing minor roads. Some of these were still pock-marked and covered in loose gravel, but others are now lovely and smooth. All were wonderfully quiet: I passed a post van, a couple of tractors, a lorry and about half-a-dozen cars.

summary:
  <p>Кто-нибудь знает, должны ли отношения границ (type-boundary) в osm быть сортированными, или ожидать этого не приходится? Большая часть отношений отсортированны, и показываются в josm в виде набора внешних и внутренних контуров, но в некоторых (например в государственной границе России), части следуют в хаотическом порядке. Это бага или так и должно быть?</p>

  <p>Если отношение отсортированно, то алгоритм его обработки, например вычисления площади – относительно простой. Если нужно сортировать самому, всё усложняется.</p>

  <hr>

  <p>Hi, does anybody know, should member ways in boundary relations be sorted? The most of the relatations are sorted, and are displayed in josm as nice set of closed rings (inner and outer). However, some of the boundary relatations, like <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/60189" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">this one</a>, are not sorted and memeber ways appears in chaotic order.  Is it a bug or not?</p>

  <p>If a relation is sorted in OSM DB, the algorithms (e.g. to calulate square) becomes relatively simple. If i need to sort myself, things get much more complex.</p>

  <p>Avoid the crowds and tripadvisor, a vacation is only an adventure if you find the escape velocity of your known universe and reach it, and you’ll find outside that, another version of yourself that just might follow you home.</p>

  <p>We had seen the soaring ceilings of the Hagia Sofia, I was already used to the chingchonglinglongs from shopkeepers in the Grand Bazaar, we went to the Blue Mosque on a day it was closed to non-believers, we’d eaten homemade sigarabörek by her aunt for dinner, we’d taken the ferry to the tip of the Asian continent… It was day 3 of Istanbul, and my best friend had a family engagement that night. I wasn’t brave enough to venture back to the Asian side to visit a nightclub on my own, and had been advised against going out by myself anyway.</p>

  <p>What else do you do in a big, unknown city on a Friday night?</p>

  <p>Idleness must have spurred me into opening OSM to inspect the unspectacularly residential neighborhood I was staying in. Idleness intensified the quiet thrill of finding a virtually blank map, composed of only the spidery, nameless street geometries. Idleness became a pulling curiosity, so I found blank pages in my day planner and two pens of different colors, and traced the general street network. I closed the door on the sound of my AirBnb host having sex with her boyfriend, careful to keep the cats inside.</p>

  <p>For a couple hours that night I deliberately wandered the streets of that neighborhood. I developed a system where I numbered the streets in my notebook with a kind of index and wrote the names I saw on the street signs next to the numbers. Knowing the basics of the Turkish alphabet, I could sound out the names to myself as I saw them, carefully noting the dotless ı’s and the rounded hats on the ğ’s.</p>

  <p>When I returned to the flat, I eagerly entered each new tag: name, highway, lit, foot, oneway. I even added a couple small, unmapped alleys. Zooming out on my work, I was shocked at how insignificant the changeset seemed for how many kilometers I had walked. But, all the same, it was a small constellation of mapped streets in a web of unnamed Istanbul neighborhoods.</p>

  <p><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/kzs-photos/istanbul_mapping.jpg" alt="mapping"></p>

  <p>Day 4, after another day of sightseeing, I went out again and ventured a bit further west. Once I couldn’t found a street sign and felt brave enough to stick my head into a travel bureau to ask, “hangi caddesi?”, hoping that my approximation of Turkish grammar was good enough (it was!). One night from the second floor windows of a fish restaurant where I had dinner I mapped the businesses I could see across the street: Ekin cafe, Simit evi, several burger places.</p>

  <p>Which worlds do we visit when we exist only between pinned places in Google? Do we really visit a place if we only remember the characters in its name long enough to type it into the search bar, but never hold the sounds in our mouths?</p>

  <h2 id="section">Физкультура закончилась - начался спорт</h2>

  <p><strong>Увлечение велосипедом перешло из утилитарного и развлекательно-оздоровительного в разновидность любительского спорта.</strong> Появились назначенные мною же нормативы. Чтобы за весь сезон (расчётно - с марта по сентябрь включительно) накрутить 5000 км, нужно проезжать по 700 км ежемесячно. Традицию хотя бы раз в месяц совершать дневной пробег в 100 км и более возвёл в другой норматив.</p>

  <p>Июль выдался на славу. Удалось выбраться с ночёвкой на Бердянскую косу, так что получилось два подряд утра по сто километров, а за месяц набежала тысяча. Ехали вдвоём “нижней дорогой”, убитой по местному обыкновению. Так как задача была добраться (ехали на полной туристской выкладке), качество дорог помню не настолько хорошо для проставления тегов. В таких поездках без напитков с электролитами весьма накладно, особенно по духоте и против ветра: солёный пот - теперь это обыденность.</p>

  <p><em>…Приучиться бы кушать больше, чем езжу</em> :-D Пока всё наоборот, о росте возможностей и способностей речи идти не может.</p>

  <h2 id="section-1">Велорейды как способ убить двух зайцев</h2>

  <p>По сути, в этом сезоне было два нарочито осмерских велорейда. Один завершился поломкой велосипеда: остался без заднего переключателя за 40 км от дома. Выручила столь критикуемая многими байкерами тяжесть в виде подсумка с инструментом: там обязательно лежит выжимка цепи… Оказалось необходимым сменить всю трансмиссию, так что байк превратился в подлинно кросскантрийный снаряд, <a href="http://azovbike.com.ua/forum/viewtopic.php?f=40&amp;t=4973&amp;p=123894#p123894" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">просчитанный теоретически и вскорости проверенный на практике</a>.</p>

  <p>В порыве праведного гнева протегировал ту гадскую, заброшенную грунтовку. Цена работы на местности бывает и выше.</p>

  <p>Рейд же второй - совсем недавний - прошёл вообще без сучка и задоринки в техническом плане. Выбрал лучший из оставшихся моментов по погоде. У нас начались июльская духотища (август мстит за комфортный в целом июль) да умеренный северо-восточный ветруган с порывами, и таки решился выкатать <em>нормативный марафон</em> в среду.</p>

  <p>Маршрут выбрал не случайно. Меня давно интересовали способы добраться до Кальчика, минуя шоссе (а далее будет Карань), и один из них лежал вдоль железной дороги. <em>С подветренной стороны от лесопосадки,</em> что важно. Получилось приличное кросс-кантри по убитым дорогам, местами рыхлым. Дабы не забыть, замечания по качеству дорог записывал в блокнот - но всё равно пару кусков не могу вспомнить: дороги наши такие, тем паче полузаброшенные.</p>

  <p>Но это были первые двадцать километров, и впереди ещё маячило километров шесть-семь грунтошлака, но в другом, удалённом оттуда месте. В том самом, где влил по литру живительной влаги в гидратор и в себя. Записей в блокнотике становилось всё больше, запасов изотоников - всё меньше. В Республике устроил сорокаминутный привал из-за ощущения заголодания.</p>

  <p>Мариупольское шоссе меня, однако, обескуражило: ремонт находится в стадии удаления старого асфальта; встречные <em>фурзометры,</em> идущие с наветренной стороны, поднимают в воздух мелкий гравий, облака которых вынужден был мужественно преодолевать, борясь, ко всему, с порывами ветра, вызванными этими же фурами в дополнение к естественным шквалам. <em>Асфальтная болезнь была очень близка.</em> Лишь после объездной вокруг Никольского удалось нормально отдох… кгм, разогнаться, как раз ветер стал в галфвинд с малыми намёками на бакштаг.</p>

  <hr>

  <p><strong>Вот и думаю до сих пор: стоит ли проставлять сейчас метки Мариупольскому шоссе?</strong></p>

  <p><em><strong>P.S.</strong> До пяти тысяч километров мне осталось каких-то триста пятьдесят.</em></p>

summary:
  <p>El 24 de Mayo de 2019, Ministerio de Obras Públicas y Comunicaciones (MOPC) de la República del Paraguay publicó la Resolución N° 1090/19, por la cual “Categoriza y Clasifica las Rutas Nacionales”, cuya última actualización se hizo en el año 1.962.</p>

  <p>En el marco de la Ley N° 5552/2016, se crearon 10 rutas nacionales nuevas y se redefinieron los trazados de rutas históricas como las rutas nacionales N°2 y N°7, como así también se definió el criterio para las referencias como PYnn.</p>

  <p>Esta decisión llevó a organizar una tarea con la Comunidad de OpenStreetMap del Paraguay, y en el canal de Telegram de OSM-Py se discutieron y acordaron los criterios para la denominación y la clasificación de los caminos existentes que pasaron a formar parte de la red vial de rutas nacionales.</p>

  <p>Tomado como información de base los mapas publicados por el MOPC (<a href="https://www.mopc.gov.py/mopcweb/index.php/download_file/view_inline/3198" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">https://www.mopc.gov.py/mopcweb/index.php/download_file/view_inline/3198</a>), durante los meses de Julio y Agosto de 2019 los miembros de las comunidades de de OSM Paraguay y de OSM Argentina, intervinieron el mapa editando y reetiquetando las vías existentes para adecuarlo a la Resolución N° 1090/19.</p>

  <p>Gracias al trabajo y dedicación de un grupo de usuarios comprometidos,
  luego de una ardua tarea, el mapa de la República del Paraguay se muestra en OSM tal como establece la Ley y la Resolución pertinente.</p>

  <p>“En la Región Oriental del país, de 3.494 km de rutas nacionales ahora se pasa a tener 5.502 km de rutas pavimentadas, mientras que en que el Chaco Paraguayo suma 4 rutas más a su patrimonio vial, totalizando 3.554 km, que apuestan al desarrollo de toda la Región Occidental.” (<a href="https://www.mopc.gov.py/mopcweb/index.php/actualizacion-de-la-red-vial-de-rutas-nacionales-del-paraguay" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">https://www.mopc.gov.py/mopcweb/index.php/actualizacion-de-la-red-vial-de-rutas-nacionales-del-paraguay</a>)</p>

summary:
  <p>On May 24, 2019, the Ministry of Public Works and Communications (MOPC) of the Republic of Paraguay published Resolution No. 1090/19, which “Categorizes and Classifies National Routes”, whose last update was made in the year 1,962.</p>

  <p>Within the framework of Law No. 5552/2016, 10 new national routes were created and the routes of historical routes were redefined as national routes No. 2 and No. 7, as well as the criteria for references as PYnn .</p>

  <p>This decision led to the organization of a task with the OpenStreetMap Community of Paraguay, and on the OSM-Py Telegram channel the criteria for the designation and classification of existing roads that became part of the road network were discussed and agreed upon of national routes.</p>

  <p>Based on the maps published by the MOPC (<a href="https://www.mopc.gov.py/mopcweb/index.php/download_file/view_inline/3198" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">https://www.mopc.gov.py/mopcweb/index.php/download_file/view_inline/3198</a>), during the months of July and August 2019, members of the communities of OSM Paraguay and OSM Argentina, intervened the map by editing and re-labeling the existing ways to adapt it to Resolution No. 1090/19.</p>

  <p>Thanks to the work and dedication of a group of committed users, after an arduous task, the map of the Republic of Paraguay is displayed in OSM as established by the Law and the relevant Resolution.</p>

  <p>“In the Eastern Region of the country, 3,494 km of national routes now have 5,502 km of paved routes, while the Paraguayan Chaco adds 4 more routes to its road heritage, totaling 3,554 km, which bet on the development of the entire Western Region. ”(<a href="https://www.mopc.gov.py/mopcweb/index.php/actualizacion-de-la-red-vial-de-rutas-nacionales-del-paraguay" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">https://www.mopc.gov.py/mopcweb/index.php/actualizacion-de-la-red-vial-de-rutas-nacionales-del-paraguay</a>)</p>

  <p>El cerro Alpatauca, con sus 1206 metros sobre el nivel del mar se ubica al noroeste de Candonga, un paraje a unos 50 km de la capital de la provincia de Córdoba, Argentina. Destaca como el punto mas alto en esa geografía poblada de pajonales. Su nombre deriva del quechua: hallpa (tierra) y tauca (montón), “montón de tierra”. La estancia cercana a él se conoce con el mismo nombre (Malanca y Diorio, 2005).</p>

summary:
  <p>I’m working on repairing the forest multipolygon in Hokkaido. They are deleted/modified/destroyed badly for several weeks ago.</p>

  <p><img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ECnqcjmU8AAqJfn?format=jpg&amp;name=large" alt="hokkaido"></p>

  <p>It is very hard to repair with revert or redrawing, because the damage is too serious and complex.
  So I would like to reuse the polygons from old planet files if possible.</p>

  <p>But I’m facing versioning issues. Anyone has more easy solution?</p>

  <ul>
    <li>Extract multipolygon relation using <code>osmium</code>: Like those command.</li>
  </ul>

  <p><code>
  osmium getid -r ./hokkaido-190601.osm.pbf r1083877 -o r1083877.osm
  </code></p>

  <ul>
    <li>Merge: Merging those polygon and current osm.org data using JOSM <code>merge selection</code>.</li>
    <li>Upload: It causes numerous conflicts due to object version is smaller than osm.org’s current objects.</li>
  </ul>

  <p>Should I tweak the xml file for versioning? (e.g. using <code>sed</code> or some other methods)</p>

  <p>P.S.
  The vandal mapper is editing his edit ignoring my message/changeset comments. I already reported this with osm.org’s reporting feature.</p>

  <p>He is deleting my repair works, so quite problematic…</p>

summary:
  <h1 id="introduction">Introduction</h1>
  <p>So, this is the final entry of a what has come to be a 6 entries series, regarding this year’s Google Summer of Code project and the work that has been done on the 3D Renderer <a href="http://osm2world.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">OSM2World</a>. This post will summarize the last 2 tasks that did not get their own separate entries as well as give an overview of the whole summer work, starting from the latest. The two tasks in question are those of <em>Rendering Destination Signs</em> and <em>Guessing the positions of non-explicitly defined signs</em>, as stated in the <a href="https://github.com/JayGhb/GSoC-2019-Application" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">application document</a>, which have proved to be particularly challenging to say the least; we will go through them later on this post. <br> So without further ado, let’s present what has been done so far in this Summer of Code, in a chronological order:</p>

  <ol>
    <li><strong>Font rendering for signs with custom text</strong>: <a href="https://github.com/tordanik/OSM2World/pull/147" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">https://github.com/tordanik/OSM2World/pull/147</a></li>
    <li><strong>Human readable traffic sign values</strong>: This particular task does not have a pull request of its own as its TODOs, mentioned in the application document, where gradually being implemented as parts of the other tasks (a good example of this can be found in <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/JasonManoloudis/diary/390396#human-readable-values-related-additions" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">this entry</a>)</li>
    <li><strong>SVG texture support</strong>: <a href="https://github.com/tordanik/OSM2World/pull/151" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">https://github.com/tordanik/OSM2World/pull/151</a></li>
    <li><strong>Traffic sign catalogues</strong>: <a href="https://github.com/tordanik/OSM2World/pull/153" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">https://github.com/tordanik/OSM2World/pull/153</a></li>
    <li><strong>Destination signs</strong>: <a href="https://github.com/tordanik/OSM2World/pull/154" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">https://github.com/tordanik/OSM2World/pull/154</a> (may be changed)</li>
    <li><strong>Guessing the positions of non-explicitly defined signs</strong>: <a href="https://github.com/tordanik/OSM2World/pull/155" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">https://github.com/tordanik/OSM2World/pull/155</a> (may be changed)</li>
  </ol>

  <p>A summary is available for each of the first 4 tasks, in their corresponding diary entries, listed below in the same order:</p>

  <ol>
    <li><a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/JasonManoloudis/diary/368806" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Font rendering for signs with custom text</a></li>
    <li><a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/JasonManoloudis/diary/390142" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Human Readable traffic sign values</a></li>
    <li><a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/JasonManoloudis/diary/390253" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">SVG texture support</a></li>
    <li><a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/JasonManoloudis/diary/390396" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Traffic sign catalogues</a></li>
  </ol>

  <p>Let’s now see what the remaining 2 tasks are all about!</p>

  <h1 id="rendering-of-destination-signs">Rendering of Destination signs</h1>
  <p>Destination signs was the first time it was required to take into account something other than explicitly defined nodes for rendering traffic signs, as the information about them is found in <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relation:destination_sign" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">“type” = “destination_sign” relations</a>. Destination sign relations include ways &amp; nodes around junctions, as this also tends to be the places you find such signs in real life. <br> It would be useful to break down the important (to this project) members of such relations, at this point, before moving forward:</p>

  <ul>
    <li><strong>From</strong>: The (usually) way before coming to the junction</li>
    <li><strong>To</strong>: The (usually) way after the junction</li>
    <li><strong>Intersection</strong>: The node of the junction</li>
    <li><strong>Sign</strong>: The point where the sign is</li>
  </ul>

  <p>I would also like to make clear that by “destination signs” we refer to this type of signs: 
  <img src="https://i.imgur.com/uPqKkxI.png" alt="Destination sign 1" style="width:500px;height:500px;">
  <img src="https://i.imgur.com/vj7AwkF.png" alt="Destination sign 2" style="width:500px;height:500px;"></p>

  <p>As one can tell, destination signs could not really “fit” into the existing mechanism for traffic sign rendering; they are a type on their own. That translates into a new private class, in TrafficSignModule</p>

  <pre><code>private final class DestinationSign extends NoOutlineNodeWorldObject
  			implements RenderableToAllTargets
  </code></pre>

  <p>that of course has its own renderTo() method (although one can find similarities with TrafficSign’s renderTo()). <br> The concept for this task is as follows: <br> 
  First of all, such sign’s textures consist of 2 texture layers, an image type background and a text type. The coloring of the signs makes use of the <strong>colorable</strong> mechanism, which essentially “paints” the bottom texture layer with the material’s color. In our case, the material’s color is extracted from the <em>colour:back</em> tag of the relation (indicates the sign’s background color) and is set to the corresponding material using the newly introduced, for the needs of this task, method</p>

  <pre><code>        /**
  	 * returns a material that is the same as this one,
  	 * except with a different color
  	 */
  	public Material withColor(Color color)
  </code></pre>

  <p>in Material.java . <br> What differentiates the signs and allows the application to know which material to use every time is the color of the arrow around each sign, tagged with <em>colour:arrow</em> in the relation. So a relation with <br> <br> <em>“colour:back” = “white”</em> <br> <em>“colour:arrow” = “black”</em> <br><br> would result in the first of the 2 signs pictured above while <br> <br> <em>“colour:back” = “yellow”</em> <br> <em>“colour:arrow” = “black”</em> <br> <br> would result in the second one. <br>
  The text depicted on the signs is extracted from the <em>“destination =’’ and *“distance =”</em> tags of the relation, using the renewed</p>

  <pre><code>private static Material configureMaterial(ConfMaterial originalMaterial, Map&lt;String, String&gt; map, MapElement element)
  </code></pre>

  <p>method of TrafficSignModule, as updated to cover the needs of the previous, <em>Traffic sign catalogues</em>, task while the text color is extracted from the <em>“colour:text” =</em> relation tag and is set in the appropriate text texture layer using the also newly introduced</p>

  <pre><code>/**
   * returns a copy of {@code material} with its {@link TextTextureData} layer
   * No. {@code numberOfTextLayer} changed with a replica with textColor={@code color}
   */
  public Material withTextColor(Color color, int numberOfTextLayer)
  </code></pre>

  <p>method, of Material.java . <br> The result of the above, for 4 <em>“type” = “destination_sign”</em> relations around the same intersection &amp; sign nodes (and dummy text for demonstration purposes) is this:</p>

  <p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/dwdk2NW.png" alt="Destination signs sample"></p>

  <p>The facing side of each sign on the pole is calculated using the direction angle of the relation’s <strong>from</strong> member while the pointing sides take the into account the position of the relation’s <strong>to</strong> member, checking whether is it to the right or left of <strong>from</strong> . <br> Material variants for left &amp; right pointing sides are now available in Germany’s traffic sign catalogue configuration file and the materials are being defined and parsed in a <em>Traffic sign catalogues</em> task way!</p>

  <h1 id="guessing-the-positions-of-non-explicitly-defined-signs">Guessing the positions of non-explicitly defined signs</h1>
  <p>That brings us to the last, and arguably GSoC’s hardest, task of this summer. <br>
  The context of this task is as follows: <br> Traffic signs can be mapped on openstreetmap in 3 different ways + one special case:</p>

  <ul>
    <li><strong>Mapped on explicitly defined nodes</strong> usually next to ways, where the node’s positions indicate the actual positions of the signs</li>
    <li><strong>Mapped as tags on ways</strong> in a manner of <em>maxspeed=50</em> or <em>traffic_sign=De;101-11</em> which indicates that the sign’s rules apply to the whole extend of this way</li>
    <li><strong>Mapped on nodes that are part of ways</strong> where the actual position of the sign is to the right/left of this node</li>
    <li><strong>Special cases highway=give_way &amp; highway=stop</strong> where a number of specific rules apply to them</li>
  </ul>

  <p>Up until now only the 1st of those cases was supported in OSM2World and it was the goal of this task to support the remaining 3. <br> What justifies this task as GSoC’s hardest is the large number of rules that has to be followed for the positions and facing directions of the signs, as many cases equals many lines of code, making it quite hard to keep everything in mind while avoiding code duplication. Those rules are:</p>

  <ul>
    <li>
      <p><strong>For signs mapped as tags on a way</strong>:</p>

      <ol>
        <li>If the sign is tagged as <em>“traffic_sign:forward = “</em> or <em>“traffic_sign:backward = “</em> , only 1 sign is rendered, that faces the <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:traffic_sign#On_a_way_or_area" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">defined direction</a>. <br> If the sign is simply tagged as <em>“traffic_sign” =</em> , 2 signs are rendered, one at the beginning and one at the end of the way, which face opposite directions.</li>
        <li>If <em>side=left/right</em> is defined on the way, it indicates the side of the way the sign is placed on</li>
        <li>If the way is oneway, only one sign is required, at the beginning of the road.</li>
        <li>If a way that is an extension of the one we are working with, also contains the exact same traffic sign mapped on it, then the sign must not be rendered in between them.</li>
      </ol>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p><strong>For traffic signs mapped on a way node</strong>:</p>

      <ol>
        <li><em>side=left/right/both</em> again applies. If <em>side=both</em> then 2 signs are rendered, on each side of the node</li>
        <li><em>traffic_sign:forward/backward</em> also applies</li>
      </ol>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p><strong>For the special cases</strong></p>

      <ol>
        <li>Their facing direction is extracted by finding the closest intersection to the node they are mapped on. To not confuse anyone any further, here is their <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dgive_way" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">wiki documentation</a></li>
      </ol>
    </li>
  </ul>

  <p>To make things easier, a TrafficSignModel class is introduced that represents a sign with all its traffic sign types on it (a pole can have more than one signs). <br> TrafficSignModule’s applyToNode() method was also restructured and now has the following shape:</p>

  <pre><code>@Override
  protected void applyToNode(MapNode node) {

    /* if sign is a destination sign */

    isDestinationSign(node);

    /* if "traffic_sign = *" or any of the human-readable signs (maxspeed|overtaking|maxwidth|maxweight|maxheight) are mapped as a way tag */

  		
    isTagOnWay(node, signsOnWaysState);
  		

    /* hardcoded special cases highway=give_way &amp; highway=stop */

    isSpecialCase(node);

    /* if sign is a simple traffic sign mapped on a node (not a destination sign or a human-readable value mapped on a way) */

    isMappedOnNode(node);

  }
  </code></pre>

  <p>with method names that speak for themselves. <br> An example of <em>maxspeed=30</em> sign extracted from way tags can be seen below, with it’s counterpart facing the opposite direction at the other end of the way visible at the distant end of the road</p>

  <p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/7bS6v7M.png" alt="signs from way tags"></p>

  <h1 id="what-is-left-to-be-done">What is left to be done</h1>
  <p>The links provided at the beginning of this entry will change in the following days as the last 2 tasks are changing towards their final form. That mostly means writing tests for some relatively complex methods created during GSoC and putting some final touches where this is required. <br> There are of course things that could be done under the scope of supporting traffic signs in OSM2World, like rendering of street name signs based on name=* tags and signs derived from routing-related tags like oneway and access but for now, this is as far as this Summer of Code project goes! It would be great though to continue being a contributor to OSM2World, now that I have an understanding of it up to a point, and maybe implement these tasks without being under the pressure of time and I am pretty sure many students would feel like now that their own GSoC projects are also coming to an end!</p>

  <h1 id="conclusion">Conclusion</h1>
  <p>From my perspective, GSoC has definitely been a unique experience, different from what I’ve come across so far work-wise, thus the reason I craved to take part in it, and of course with its ups and downs, as pretty much everything has (?) <br> It may sound somewhat “childish” but one of the biggest satisfactions the Summer of Code has given me is actually being a contributor to a large scale project used by a lot of people, giving meaning, in a way, to my presence on GitHub as well as to code I’ve written! It is also a nice opportunity to get a taste of what working remotely might be like and get to know if that work/life style actually suits you. <br>To conclude and also give two well deserved shout-out , I honestly was glad to be participating with OpenStreetMap in this initiative as well as with this specific project and mentor!</p>

summary:
  <p>I experimented with extracting the heights values from the drone imagery and add them to the building polygons traced in OpenStreetMap.  Read along if you want to understand the process or just go <a href="https://maning.github.io/FU-3d/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">here to see it in action here</a>!</p>

  <p><img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/353700/63689607-f0aa7d80-c7f9-11e9-9064-270e1d8e0b76.gif" alt="3d">
  <em>3D buildings around Foundation University, Dumaguete</em></p>

  <p>Day 3 of <a href="https://ti.to/pistangmapa/2019" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Pista ng Mapa</a> last Aug 3, 2019 was a series of field mapping activities.  A couple of people did on the ground survey with field papers and mapillary.  Our resident drone Mapher <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/geoleighyers" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Leigh</a> deployed her DJI Phantom 4 to survey the event venue and its surrounding community. Leigh uploaded all the drone derived data into OpenAerialMap including the elevation models!  Using QGIS 3.6, I decided to explore ways to extract the heights from the derived DSM/DTM and use it for visualizing building polygons from OpenSteetMap.</p>

  <p>For this exploration I used QGIS 3.6 with the GRASS GIS, Profile tool and QGIS2threejs plugin.</p>

  <h2 id="downloading-the-drone-derived-layers-from-openaerialmap">Downloading the drone derived layers from OpenAerialMap</h2>
  <ul>
    <li>The drone derived raster layers are available for download at <a href="https://map.openaerialmap.org/#/123.30615878105162,9.301753743838185,17/square/132321131212313?resolution=high&amp;_k=t6cmxv" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">OpenAerialMap</a>.  You will need the 3 rasters listed below:</li>
  </ul>

        <th>Digital Surface Model (DSM)</th>

      </tr>
    </tbody>
  </table>

  <p>We will use the orthomosaic as a background base image for our visualization.  The DSM and DTM layers will be used for extracting the height of buildings.  I will not talk about the difference between DSM and DTM here, but here’s a nice explanation from <a href="https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/5701/differences-between-dem-dsm-and-dtm" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">gis.stackexchange</a>.</p>

  <h2 id="resampling-the-dtm-and-dsm-to-1-meter-pixel-resolution">Resampling the DTM and DSM to 1 meter pixel resolution</h2>

  <p>The DSM and DTM we downloaded have different pixel resolution, to simplify the process, we will interpolate both raster pixel values to a coarser resolution of 1 meter.</p>

  <ul>
    <li>
      <p>To resample to a coarser grid, we will use the <strong>GRASS GIS</strong> modules in QGIS.  In the <strong>Processing</strong> toolbox, search for the <strong>r.resamp.stats</strong>.</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>Select the DTM raster layer to resample, choose <code>average</code> for the <strong>Aggregation method</strong> and <code>1.0</code> for <strong>GRASS GIS region cell size</strong>.</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>Save the file in your machine.  The parameters I used are shown below:</p>
    </li>
  </ul>

  <p><img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/353700/63679962-1592f680-c7e2-11e9-9cf4-26790ab1f54d.png" alt=""></p>

  <p>Once you finished resampling the DTM, do the same process for the DSM.</p>

  <h2 id="extracting-height-difference-from-dtm-and-dsm">Extracting height difference from DTM and DSM</h2>

  <p>Nest step is to subtract the values from DSM to the DTM to get a raster layer that only has the difference between the two.  This will be the height value we will use for the buildings.</p>

  <ul>
    <li>In the <strong>Processing</strong> dialog, search for <code>r.mapcalc.simple</code></li>
    <li>In the <strong>r.mapcalc.simple</strong> dialog, choose your <code>dsm</code> layer for <strong>Raster Layer A</strong>  and your <code>dtm</code> layer for <strong>Raster Layer B</strong>. Select any raster layer for <strong>C-F</strong> (we will not use any of these layers but r.mapcalc.simple dialog requires all dropdown values to have a valid layer).</li>
    <li>In the <strong>Formula</strong> field, type <code>A-B</code>.  This formula is simple difference between the two rasters.</li>
    <li>In the <strong>GRASS GIS region cell size</strong>, use <code>1.0</code></li>
    <li>Finally, choose to either use a temporary file or to save to file in the <strong>Calculated</strong> field.</li>
  </ul>

  <p><img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/353700/63685773-bb009700-c7ef-11e9-96ab-e5f151e88630.png" alt="mapcalc"></p>

  <ul>
    <li>Once the process completes, a new raster layer will be displayed in your map canvass.</li>
  </ul>

  <p>To visualize the data, you can use the <strong>Profile Tool</strong> plugin like shown below:</p>

  <p><img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/353700/63685775-bb992d80-c7ef-11e9-9035-fa8f76f61e4c.gif" alt="height-diff">
  <br> <em>Height in meters for each layer along the transect (red line in the map canvas). Red - calculated difference, blue - DSM, purple - DTM.</em></p>

  <h2 id="download-osm-buildings">Download OSM buildings</h2>

  <p>Now that we have the raster layer for the height, we will add these values to OSM buildings.</p>

  <ul>
    <li>Extract the buildings around the area using <a href="http://overpass-turbo.eu/#" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">overpass-tubo</a></li>
    <li>I used the following overpass code to get the buildings around Foundation University.</li>
  </ul>

  <p><code>
  [out:xml]/*fixed by auto repair*/[timeout:25];
  (
    node["building"]({{bbox}});
    way["building"]({{bbox}});
    relation["building"]({{bbox}});
  );
  out meta;/*fixed by auto repair*/

  <ul>
    <li>Once the extraction is complete, click <strong>Export</strong> and choose <strong>download/copy as GeoJSON</strong></li>
    <li>Add the data in QGIS.</li>
  </ul>

  <p><img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/353700/63686822-77f3f300-c7f2-11e9-9e29-041509071285.png" alt=""></p>

  <h2 id="re-project-the-buildings-to-the-same-crs-of-the-raster-layers">Re-project the buildings to the same CRS of the raster layers</h2>

  <p>In order to get the height values from the calculated height difference raster, we need both layers in the same coordinate reference system (CRS).</p>

  <ul>
    <li>To get the CRS of your rasters, select any of the raster within the <strong>Layers</strong> panel.  Right-click and choose <strong>Properties</strong>.  In the <strong>Layer Properties</strong> dialog, click on the <strong>Information</strong> tab.  Our rasters are in <code>EPSG:32651 - WGS 84 / UTM zone 51N - Projected</code> CRS.  We will use the same CRS for our building vector layer.</li>
    <li>To export the building layer to the same CRS, select the building within the <strong>Layers</strong> panel. Right-click and choose <strong>Export</strong> &gt; <strong>Save Feature As …</strong></li>
    <li>Choose any file format and filename but make sure to choose <strong>*EPSG:32651 - WGS 84 / UTM zone 51N</strong> as the CRS.  Then click <strong>OK</strong>.</li>
  </ul>

  <p><img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/353700/63687351-dec5dc00-c7f3-11e9-8045-9707bbaafabd.png" alt=""></p>

  <h2 id="get-height-of-buildings-from-the-calculated-difference-raster">Get height of buildings from the calculated difference raster</h2>

  <p>Now that we have all data in the same CRS, we can start adding the height data from the raster layer to the building polygon.</p>

  <ul>
    <li>In the <strong>Processing</strong> dialog, search for <code>v.rast.stats</code>.</li>
    <li>In the <strong>v.rast-stats</strong> dialog, choose your building polygon in the <strong>Name of vector polygon map</strong> and the calculated heigh difference in the <strong>Name of raster map to calculate statistics from</strong>.</li>
    <li>In the <strong>Column prefix for new attribute columns</strong> type <code>height_</code>.</li>
    <li>Choose a filename to save your output and click <strong>Run</strong>.</li>
  </ul>

  <p><img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/353700/63687895-53e5e100-c7f5-11e9-8efb-c09235ed33ce.png" alt=""></p>

  <ul>
    <li>Once the process completes, a new building vector layer will be added to your map canvas that includes the univariate statistics of each polygon in the attribute table.</li>
  </ul>

  <p><img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/353700/63687896-547e7780-c7f5-11e9-9b0d-11e2577cc073.png" alt=""></p>

  <ul>
    <li>Symbolize your map to show different colors of building according to height.  In the image below, I used the median values (<code>height__median</code>) to show height for each building.  I chose median value based on previous evaluation I did when we imported <a href="https://github.com/osmlab/sf_building_height_import/issues/12" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">building heights in San Francisco from LiDAR derived data</a>.</li>
  </ul>

  <h2 id="visualize-with-qgis2threejs-plugin">Visualize with QGIS2threejs plugin</h2>

  <p>Our processing is finally complete!  We can start visualizing the heights in QGIS using the <strong>QGIS2ThreeJS</strong> plugin.</p>

  <ul>
    <li>In the QGIS menu, click <strong>Web</strong> &gt; <strong>QGIS2threejs</strong> &gt; <strong>QGIS2threejs Exporter</strong>.  A new window will be shown to configure the rendering of your 3D map.</li>
    <li>Play around with the various parameters of the plugin to show the best results for your purpose.  The following settings are what I used:
      <ul>
        <li><strong>DEM</strong> - I used the dtm raster layer;</li>
        <li><strong>Polygon</strong> - I used the building vector with the extracted height values (<strong>Rast stats</strong>).</li>
      </ul>
    </li>
    <li>In the <strong>Rast stats Properties</strong>, I chose the following:
      <ul>
        <li><strong>Object type</strong> - Extruded;</li>
        <li><strong>Z coordinate</strong> - Relative to the DTM layer;</li>
        <li>Height - Using the expression dialog I added <code>"height__median" * 1.2</code>,  this formula exaggerates the height of building by a factor of 1.2,</li>
      </ul>
    </li>
  </ul>

  <p><img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/353700/63689108-965ced00-c7f8-11e9-9ad6-0075874bbfda.png" alt=""></p>

  <ul>
    <li>Once you are happy with the results, you can either export the visualization as an image or a webpage in the <strong>File</strong> menu of the <strong>QGIS2threejs Exporter</strong></li>
  </ul>

  <h3 id="and-its-done--run-a-local-webserver-then-open-the-save-indexhtml--see-it-in-action-herehttpsmaninggithubiofu-3d">And its done!

  <h2 id="some-notes">Some notes</h2>

  <ul>
    <li><strong>Buildings partially covered by trees can have wrong height.</strong>  This is because the DSM layer includes not only height of buildings but also of trees and other features for example, in this small building (median_height = 11.6 meters).
  <img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/353700/63694657-73393a00-c806-11e9-9147-cf242069d089.png" alt=""></li>
  </ul>

  <p>In such cases where there is a lot vegetation obscuring the building, median_height may not be be best metric to use.</p>

  <ul>
    <li>
      <p><strong>This is not a full 3D, instead, it’s a “simple block model representation” (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_city_models#Level_of_Detail" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">LOD1</a>).</strong>  My process cannot model roof structures or detailed architectural building models.</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p><strong>Can we use this process for mapping <code>building:height</code> in OpenStreetMap?</strong> Definitely, but this requires further calibration and ground validation.  For example, I noticed height anomalies along the edge of the raster data.  This is likely due to the height extraction used in processing the raw image files along the edges where there is not enough data.</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p><strong>Please share DSM/DTM data in OpenAerialMap.</strong> Extracting DSM/DTM from drone survey are fairly straightforward with the common processing tools like pix4d or <a href="https://www.opendronemap.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">OpenDroneMap</a>. Although it will take more processing time, the benefits of using the DSM/DTM products along with the orthomosaic are huge.  My appeal to all drone mappers uploading data in OpenAerialMap, please include the DSM/DTM. ;)</p>

  <p>Give it a try with your own data and comment in this diary if I miss something.  Happy mapping!</p>

summary:
  <p>A year I was just starting as a volunteer for the CWTS++ program, from answering a question to being accepted in the program. I did not even realize that there is something beyond this before I thought the benefit of it was just the technical of mapping. Surprisingly, I did not even expect what would be coming as I went through with it and imagine representing it to other people.</p>

  <p>So I am one of those people that got lucky and been awarded a travel grant to “Pista ng Mapa” a national conference in Dumaguete, Negros. So everything is sponsored and I am thankful for that because I get to experience something new again, this includes air travel and no parental supervision outside of Manila.</p>

  <p>One of the workshops that I went to is  Data Storytelling with Open Contracting Data. I just had a feeling that’s why I choose this workshop and I can’t to the other workshop ‘cause I already have experience in OpenStreetMap and it was only the introduction of it. So I challenge myself by force and went to the Data Storytelling, even though I don’t have a clear idea of the whole workshop rather than creating a story with the given data. The speakers were journalists and data scientists which amused me about their topic and the talk itself, even though I can’t intake everything they’re talking about.  I was grouped with other people which had a lot of experienced specially with politics, academe, and volunteering. They taught me how to filter a whole of data set which was around a thousand plus items, you have to sort it, tally it, analyze and make an interpretation out of all the gathered data to create your own story. Sadly the time was not enough to create the whole data story but it was fun learning at a different level.</p>

  <p>The next workshop that I went to is Geo* Data Science with Python. I thought this workshop would be like an introduction to Python but it isn’t, it’s on the intermediate level. I don’t have a background on Python but I have with programming languages. As the workshop continues I realized I already did this kind of work back in one of my past workshops at my school but with HTML and much simpler output.  Python was fun and it was easier to use than other computer languages that I had experienced, might learn this soon.</p>

  <p>After that I planned to go to an OpenStreetMap Mapathon, the other workshops are unavailable to me because I already went through those ways back at my school and which help me limit my choices. I was excited to map again, the last time I map was around a month and haft ago. We were task to map pedestrian infrastructures.  And the mapathon would be the last event of the 1st day of the conference.</p>

  <p>The following day was quite exciting and nerve-racking for me because the day has come that I would have to deliver my Lighting Talk in front of an audience for 5 minutes. So I don’t have a heavily scientific basis for my talk it would just be about volunteerism and why do I volunteer and continue with it. I wasn’t confident with what I have to be honest especially with all the amazing talks I had already witnessed. But I also realized that I’m just starting with mapping and only have one year’s experience. I also think that if I have talked in front of people again I would have to feed them with a well-researched talk. So might as well start my thesis in mapping.</p>

  <p>Following the lighting talk is one of my favorite workshop which is the “DIY” Imagery Collection for Mapping. There is a drone workshop that excited me, they taught us the hardware of a drone, checking the drone before letting it fly and studying the environment of where it will fly. We even went to the flights to have an actual test of it – there were flight patterns in collecting images and there was a software to control it and a direct controller. After that, we have to process that data which had a high resolution.</p>

  <p>The next event would be Geo-ladies Plenary Session. The talks tackle women in mapping – their experiences, how they map, the odds of being a woman in the field and their advocacy in promoting mapping to women and the minority. This is one of my favorite talks at the conference.</p>

  <p>Overall my Pista ng Mapa Adventure at Dumaguete was more than fun I say. It was short but the feeling of adventuring while at the same time doing something that you like was the best of it. I realized after the conference that there are many things I still need to improve on and learn as I progress to what work I may do which of course includes mapping and my advocacy for mapping grew over time as I learn more new knowledge about it.</p>

  <p>Until the next mapping adventure.</p>

summary:
  <p>Dear all,</p>

  <p>Today, v4.22.0 of the OpenStreetMap Carto stylesheet (the default
  stylesheet on the OSM website) has been released. Once changes are deployed
  on the openstreetmap.org it will take couple of days before all tiles
  show the new rendering.</p>

  <p>Changes include</p>

  <ul>
    <li>
      <p>Shop label fixes and use ST_PointOnSurface for building label placement</p>

      <p>This fixes some bugs and makes building label placement consistent with shop
  label placement.</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>Use <code>cache-feature: true</code> to improve performance of layers with attachments</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>Use retail colour fill on malls</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>Drop <code>highway=steps</code> from zoom 13</p>

      <p>This makes step rendering consistent with footways</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>Render <code>place=locality</code> from zoom 16</p>

      <p>This fits current usage of the tag and what it is normally tagged on.</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>Render <code>natural=bay</code> from linear ways</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>Render administrative boundary labels from relations only</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>Stop rendering natural=marsh</p>

      <p>It is recommended marshes are tagged with <code>natural=wetland</code> + <code>wetland=marsh</code></p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>Use a whitelist for barrier rendering, and render <code>historic=citywalls</code> like
  <code>barrier=city_wall</code>.</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>Support new Tibetan font name</p>

      <p>Noto has renamed Noto Sans Tibetan to Noto Serif Tibetan. The old name is
  still supported.</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>Code cleanups to increase reuse and improve consistency</p>
    </li>
  </ul>

  <p>Thanks to all the contributors for this release, including daveol and
  btwhite92, new contributors, and jeisenbe, a new maintainer.</p>

summary:
  <p>The <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/tchaddad/diary/390379" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">last post</a> introduced Wikidata, and covered how to extract basic information from wikidata dumps using a postgres database and regular SQL queries. This post explains some simple SPARQL queries and the Wikidata Query System and related API, and how they relate to the improvements desired in Nominatim. The following examples, along with a few other tools from the Wikidata ecosystem, are a good start for any OSM contributor that is Wikidata-curious. <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tchaddad/Nominatim/master/data-sources/wikidata/SPARQL_sur_Wikidata_200.png" alt="SPARQL sur Wikidata CC-BY Wikimedia Commons, Jorge Abellán, Berlekemp"></p>

  <h2 id="explaining-sparql">Explaining SPARQL</h2>
  <p>For a new user, probably the most foreign aspect of using Wikidata is the need to know something about SPARQL. So <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPARQL" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">what is SPARQL?</a>, and why do you need it?</p>

  <p><a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/tchaddad/diary/390379" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">As covered previously</a>, entities in Wikidata are inter-related, and the connections between them are a large part of what is stored in the database.  SPARQL is a query language for databases such as Wikidata, that store information as statements in the form: “subject–predicate–object”. To understand what “subject–predicate–object” means, it is helpful to look at specifics.</p>

  <p>Going back to the <a href="https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q243" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Wikidata page for the Eiffel Tower (Q243)</a> , we can see that the Eiffel Tower is listed as an instance of a “lattice tower” (<a href="https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1440476" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Q1440476</a>), and also listed as an instance of a “tourist destination” (<a href="https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1200957" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Q1200957</a>).</p>

  <p>These statements:</p>

  <ul>
    <li>“Eiffel Tower” “is an instance of” “lattice tower”</li>
    <li>“Eiffel Tower” “is an instance of” “tourist destination”</li>
  </ul>

  <p>Are examples of the “subject–predicate–object” concept, where the subject is the Eiffel Tower, the predicte is “Instance of” and the object is “lattice tower” or “tourist destination”.</p>

  <h2 id="wikidata-query-service-examples">Wikidata Query Service Examples</h2>

  <p>OK, so how can we use these relationships? The Wikidata Project provides a <a href="https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:SPARQL_query_service/queries/examples" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Wikidata Query Service</a> with a <a href="https://query.wikidata.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">web-based front end</a> that lets us experiment with SPARQL to learn more.</p>

  <p>Say for example, you want to know about other instances of lattice tower. Here is a simple SPARQL query that lets us ask for the Wikidata item id of any other WIkidata item that is marked as an instance of a lattice tower:
  <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tchaddad/Nominatim/master/data-sources/wikidata/wikidata_query_service_example_instances_of_lattice_towers_simple.png" alt="Screenshot of Wikidata Query Service">
  Notice that line 5 is where the key parameters are: the “instance of” property (P31), and the object “lattice tower” (Q1440476).</p>

  <p>You can try the Wikidata Query Service web interface for the above query <a href="https://query.wikidata.org/#%23%20Instances%20of%20%22lattice%20tower%22%0ASELECT%20%3Fitem%20%3FitemLabel%20%0AWHERE%20%0A%7B%0A%20%20%3Fitem%20wdt%3AP31%20wd%3AQ1440476.%0A%7D%0A%0A" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">at this link</a>.
  At the time of this post, running this SPARQL query will return 10 instances of lattice towers from Wikidata. The data can be downloaded in a variety of formats if using the web interface, or returned as json or xml if <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikidata_Query_Service/User_Manual" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">using the API</a>.</p>

  <p>Great, but of course most of us cannot “read” a Wikidata item id, so it would be nice to have a label in the language of our choosing. The Wikidata Query Service provides a way to also ask for a label in a specified language:
  <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tchaddad/Nominatim/master/data-sources/wikidata/wikidata_query_service_example_instances_of_lattice_towers.png" alt="Screenshot of Wikidata Query Service">
  With the addition of the request for the label, the query now returns the same 10 results, this time with 2 columns: Wikidata item id, and label. Try the improved query <a href="https://query.wikidata.org/#%23%20Instances%20of%20%22lattice%20tower%22%0ASELECT%20%3Fitem%20%3FitemLabel%20%0AWHERE%20%0A%7B%0A%20%20%3Fitem%20wdt%3AP31%20wd%3AQ1440476.%0A%20%20SERVICE%20wikibase%3Alabel%20%7B%20bd%3AserviceParam%20wikibase%3Alanguage%20%22%5BAUTO_LANGUAGE%5D%2Cen%22.%20%7D%0A%7D" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">here</a>.</p>

  <p>Excellent, so what if we want to also return the latitude and longitude of the instances of these lattice towers? We can do this by asking for the coordinate location property (<a href="https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P625" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">P625</a>):
  <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tchaddad/Nominatim/master/data-sources/wikidata/wikidata_query_service_example_instances_of_lattice_towers_w_geo.png" alt="Screenshot of Wikidata Query Service">
  Now the results include 3 columns: Wikidata item id, itemLabel, and a geo column containing the coordinate location as a WKT string (<a href="https://query.wikidata.org/#%23%20Instances%20of%20%22lattice%20tower%22%0ASELECT%20%3Fitem%20%3FitemLabel%20%0AWHERE%20%0A%7B%0A%20%20%3Fitem%20wdt%3AP31%20wd%3AQ1440476%3B%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20wdt%3AP625%20%3Fgeo%0A%20%20SERVICE%20wikibase%3Alabel%20%7B%20bd%3AserviceParam%20wikibase%3Alanguage%20%22%5BAUTO_LANGUAGE%5D%2Cen%22.%20%7D%0A%7D" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">try the query here</a>). If you prefer to extract the individual latitude and longitude columns you can drill down into this last element and extract them (<a href="https://query.wikidata.org/#%23%20Instances%20of%20%22lattice%20tower%22%0ASELECT%20%3Fitem%20%3FitemLabel%20%3Flat%20%3Flon%0AWHERE%20%0A%7B%0A%20%20%3Fitem%20wdt%3AP31%20wd%3AQ1440476%3B%20%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20wdt%3AP625%20%3Fpt.%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%3Fitem%20p%3AP625%20%3Floc.%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%3Floc%20psv%3AP625%20%3Fcnode.%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%3Fcnode%20wikibase%3AgeoLatitude%20%3Flat.%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%3Fcnode%20wikibase%3AgeoLongitude%20%3Flon.%0A%20%20SERVICE%20wikibase%3Alabel%20%7B%20bd%3AserviceParam%20wikibase%3Alanguage%20%22%5BAUTO_LANGUAGE%5D%2Cen%22.%20%7D%0A%7D" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">query</a>):
  <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tchaddad/Nominatim/master/data-sources/wikidata/wikidata_query_service_example_instances_of_lattice_towers_w_latlon.png" alt="Screenshot of Wikidata Query Service">
  And so on.</p>

  <p>One of the nice things about trying examples in the Wikidata Query Service web interface is that there is also an option to render the list of results as a map. To do this, simply add “#defaultView:Map” to the top of the query block:
  <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tchaddad/Nominatim/master/data-sources/wikidata/wikidata_query_service_example_map_of_lattice_towers.png" alt="Wikidata Query Service example map output">
  With this one addition, we can now quickly see the results of the query in map form.</p>

  <p>Last but not least, we can try an example that will also report instances of subclasses (<a href="https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P279" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">P279</a>) of the Wikidata item for “tower” (<a href="https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q12518" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Q12518</a>):
  <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tchaddad/Nominatim/master/data-sources/wikidata/wikidata_query_service_example_instances_subclasses_of_towers.png" alt="Screenshot of Wikidata Query Service">
  Because “towers” is a much more generic concept than “lattice towers” we expect that there are both many instances of towers, and also many instances of subclasses of towers. And indeed, when <a href="https://query.wikidata.org/#SELECT%20%3Fitem%20%3FitemLabel%20%3Fgeo%20%0AWHERE%20%7B%0A%20%20%3Fitem%20wdt%3AP31%2a%2Fwdt%3AP279%2a%20wd%3AQ12518%3B%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20wdt%3AP625%20%3Fgeo.%0A%20%20SERVICE%20wikibase%3Alabel%20%7Bbd%3AserviceParam%20wikibase%3Alanguage%20%22%5BAUTO_LANGUAGE%5D%2Cen%22.%7D%20%0A%7D" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">this query</a> is run, there are over 21,000 results. What is interesting is that we did not need to know what the subclasses of “tower” were in order to return them in the query - and this begins to give a glimpse of the power inherent in SPARQL.</p>

  <p>Hopefully the above examples are enough to give a new user a basic understanding of SPARQL. As with any new language, it takes some time to get used to the syntax and best practices, but once a few basics are mastered, the sky’s the limit.</p>

  <h2 id="relevance-to-nominatim">Relevance to Nominatim</h2>

  <p>Knowing a bit about SPARQL is nice, but most OSM contributors are not necessarily interested in becoming expert at SPARQL, or even at Wikidata. The main benefit this project is hoping to bring to the OSM community is that by adding Wikidata information into the process used by Nominatim, the service can return more relevant search results.</p>

  <p>To do this, we are using a combination of Wikidata extracts from table dumps (vis SQL) and API calls (using SPARQL), to selectively retrieve instances of “place types”, from the Wikidata ecosystem. Examples of the sorts of queries that have been useful are what is captured in these diary posts. Once extracted, the Wikidata items are used to enrich the wikipedia_articles table in the Nominatim database, where they are cross-referenced with their relevant Wikipedia importance scores by language. Once the wikidata is linked in this way, Nominatim can use the importance scoring in it’s logic of search results.</p>

  <h2 id="more-on-place-types">More on Place Types</h2>

  <p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Purpose" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Wikipedia seeks to b</a>e a “compendium that contains information on all branches of knowledge”. As a result, it should be logical that Nominatim is not concerned with all of Wikidata, but rather in the small subset of items that are instances of place types.</p>

  <p>Unfortunately there is no source that presents the range of place types covered by Wikipedia, and Wikidata does not have any official ontologies. However, the <a href="https://wiki.dbpedia.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">DBpedia project</a> has created an <a href="http://mappings.dbpedia.org/server/ontology/classes/#Place" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">ontology that covers place types</a>, and so this can be used as a starting point for building a list of place types that Nominatim can use. By using place types to identify instances of places, and not just those Wikidata items that have geographic coordinates, it is possible to identify a broader pool of Wikidata items that might have links to OSM items. In addition, as the curated list of place types is built over time, the potential for improved links grows accordingly.</p>

title: Ideas on tagging discussion for SotM session

summary:
  <p>This post is an answer to Roland’s call for input on his planned SotM session on 
  <a href="https://2019.stateofthemap.org/sessions/PPTHFQ/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">New processes to agree on tagging suggestions and their interaction with the editing software available on openstreetmap.org</a></p>

  <p>I have no specific suggestion for an overall solution to the problem but a few observations on the matter that i would like to share on the level of problem analysis so to speak.</p>

  <ul>
    <li>
      <p>First i think a big part of the problem of tagging development and tagging discussion can be summarized by saying that unfortunately these days discussions on tagging are too often dominated by <strong>interests</strong> rather than <strong>arguments</strong>.  I think this is a long term development that has its main origin in the increased importance of OpenStreetMap overall.  As a result the ability to affect how mappers in OSM map and tag certain things has gained significant value - economic and otherwise - and as a result there are a lot of different interests trying to influence tagging and most of these are just special interests without substantial arguments why these ideas are of benefit for the project as a whole.</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>My second observation is that tagging discussion seems often dominated by a relatively small number of people who have the ability to express themselves in the English language well enough and who are able and willing to invest a much larger amount of time into such discussions than the vast majority of mappers and data users.  By the latter such discussions are often perceived to be pointlessly elaborate, non-productive and detached from reality.  The principle of do-ocracy is widely accepted and valued in the domain of mapping in OpenStreetMap but it it questionable if tagging discussion and tag documentation form a separate do-ocratic domain within the project that is largely disconnected from actual mapping.</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>Another disadvantageous tendency in tagging discussion that is connected to the previous point is that technical knowledge and competence is too often put above knowledge on the subject, i.e. geographic competence.  This is because OpenStreetMap is largely seen as a technology project where software developers are often in a natural position of power even though they often don’t realize the limitations of their own ability to properly assess the complexity of the geographic reality - which is the actual core challenge of mapping and tagging in OSM.  Outside the technological domain the ability of the OpenStreetMap community to recognize and support competence and good judgement as important and necessary skills for making good decisions and giving people with those skills the power and influence to make decisions is severely underdeveloped.</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>We know quite a lot of things about what constitutes a good and a bad tagging idea.  The most significant being <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Verifiability" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">verifiability</a>.  Other criteria can for example be found in <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Joto/How_to_invent_tags" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">How to invent tags</a>.  One point in particular that is known to be significant for the success of tags is what i would call <strong>mappability</strong> - that is if in practical mapping mappers can readily and without too much effort or specific knowledge or training determine if to apply or not to apply a certain tag.  Unfortunately this principal knowledge we have as a community often has relatively little impact and does not prevent clearly bad tags being invented or pushed to be used.</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>Tagging development and discussion is unfortunately still very much dominated by English language discourse and accordingly colored by the corresponding cultural views and priorities.  Good processes for communication on tagging would need to try reducing this bias and give local communities with different languages better options to put forward their own tagging ideas and coordinate them with other local communities.</p>
    </li>
  </ul>

  <p>I almost spun around on my office chair when I received an email confirming my travel grant application was accepted. Excitement, anticipation, suspense, and nervousness were what I felt after reading the email. Excitement and anticipation because it will be the biggest conference that I’ll attend so far. Suspense and nervousness because I will be travelling alone outside Luzon for the first time and will be staying by myself in a city far from home. But lo and behold, my GIS/cartography professor and a former orgmate will also be attending the conference! I was so happy when I learned about that because I’ll see familiar faces around.</p>

  <p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/a0RVjFU.jpg" alt="Alt text">
  <img src="https://i.imgur.com/HtGMCDi.jpg" alt="Alt text"></p>

  <p>I almost felt numb the day before the event. I had mixed emotions that I barely slept the night before my flight, so the first thing I did after arriving at my (shared) accommodation was to sleep. On the way and while at the airport, my mom also kept calling me because she thinks I might get lost in Dumaguete or miss my flight. It was actually both funny and embarrassing because she thinks her twenty-year-old daughter would get lost. 😂 If I really did, I’m an embarrassment of a geographer!</p>

  <p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/BTAOQYw.jpg" alt="Alt text"></p>

  <p>THE CONFERENCE: Day 1</p>

  <p>Day 1 started with a bang. The keynote speakers were awesome! The presentation about data as ice cream (as a fellow ice cream lover) captured me the most. I can no longer look at data without thinking of ice cream now! 😂 One of the keynote speakers was Sir Nick Brown, whom I met in the pre-socials event the day before the conference. He was also the one who gave me the cute sticker below!</p>

  <p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/vdHbXYJ.jpg" alt="Alt text"></p>

  <p>For the first day, the first parallel session I attended was the Data Storytelling with Open Contracting Data. The session really inspired me as an aspiring government employee. I plan to use what I learned from the session to make sure that the processes, procurement, and system of my future workplace/s will be clear, correct, and orderly. Overall thought/realization: Data will talk and tell the truth!</p>

  <p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/uNbdmF4.jpg" alt="Alt text">
  [Guess who was in a daze while looking at this!]</p>

  <p>The next session inspired me to learn more about Python. I don’t have any knowledge or experience with Python so I was “???” almost the whole session. It was actually refreshing and exhilarating! It has been so long since I’ve felt that (I think) so I was fired up to take Python courses/classes (in the future, because I’m currently broke 😂) so I can use it in GIS. Overall thought/realization: Python looks complicated for now, but will not be after I learn/master it!</p>

  <p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/BaDVfCg.jpg" alt="Alt text">
  [Me and Ate Diana]</p>

  <p>Last but not least, the session that I was so competitive of: Collecting street-level imagery for the commons. I had fun in this session with (ate) Diana (my senpai and orgmate when I was a student)! Mapping those fire hydrants and pedestrian lanes using Mapillary was really fun. I even won a shirt, yay! I didn’t know that such an amazing app exists! I will definitely use Mapillary now whenever I go to new places so I can contribute useful images to the community! Overall thought/realization: Mapillary is so useful! Can be used for future fieldworks!</p>

  <p>THE CONFERENCE: Day 2</p>

  <p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/ET1eEeR.jpg" alt="Alt text">
  [It’s a potato!]</p>

  <p>AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! &lt;- me after waking up for Day 2, because ‘this is it’. It was finally the day where I’ll present in front of many professional mappers! (meanwhile me: just an ordinary potato in the crowd) I was really nervous before presenting because it was like my debut in the conference of adults and professionals. I was full of thoughts that I must do well because I’m no longer a student (and cannot have any excuses), so I was really happy and relieved that my presentation turned up well. Sir David Garcia, aka Mapmaker, even praised me! (Cue my inner fangirl!) Overall thought/realization: Senpai, thank you for the praise! This junior will strive to be a great geographer like you! 😭 I’ll use the experience for the future conferences to come! P.S. The other presentations/presenters were exceptional! I’m so honored to be a travel grantee like them! Special mention to (ate) Nikki who was also my roommate!</p>

  <p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/M43BHMI.jpg" alt="Alt text">
  [Me and Ma’am Ony &lt;3]</p>

  <p>The first parallel session for Day 2 made me so proud and thankful. Ardie (a new friend I made during the conference) said that my GIS/Cartography professor (Ma’am Ony Martinez) was so cool! Ma’am Ony is my role model in GIS and the one who got me into mapping in the first place so I was really happy from his words. Ma’am Ony and her teammates also presented, and the outputs of their countermapping activities were eye openers on how marginalized groups can have more voice in the society through countermapping. I also loved the QGIS session following the countermapping. I’m more adept in using ArcGIS than QGIS so the rundown about its features and interface helped me a lot. Overall thought/realization: Must participate in a countermapping activity in the future! (and) Must familiarize myself more with QGIS now!</p>

  <p>As a woman, the last plenary session by GeoLadies inspired me the most. Women really do make big impacts in the world and this inspires me to do better! I am so proud to be a woman! Overall thought/realization: Women have a big role in mapping because their perspectives make a difference. In this world, different perspectives are needed because we cannot always have a single train of thought!</p>

  <p>“Bitin and busog”, these were what I felt after the conference. The sessions and presenters/speakers were all great. There were so many parallel sessions to choose from and all were interesting that I regret I cannot attend them all.</p>

  <p>Lastly, I would like to thank all the Pista ng Mapa 2019 organizers, especially Sir Erwin Olario, for giving me the opportunity to attend this wonderful conference! The conference was a big moment in my life and I will surely cherish this experience.</p>

  <p>Pista ng Mapa 2019 is a kickoff of my mappy days ahead. So I would love to look back and reread this entry again in the future to see how far did I go in my endeavors! Cheers!</p>

title:
  If it looks like an import, gets permission like an import, and organizes like an import, then it probably is an import…...Or is it?

summary:
  <p>Today I would like to share what I have learned about using external data in OSM but not in the classic import fashion.</p>

  <p>I have gone over what I have learned about data importing in OSM after being involved in a few of them. But today I want to talk about how we’re using data from our local government as a reference but not using the usual import method and why.</p>

  <p>So what is the definition of an import in regards to OSM? The Wiki defines it as “the process of uploading external data to OSM.“.</p>

  <p>But uploading is not always the most effective way to use external data to improve OSM. What we are doing is showing external data as a layer over OSM and using that to edit OSM by hand.</p>

  <p><img src="https://i.redd.it/4ap2xes7kzj31.png" alt="Alt text"></p>

  <p>But Why?..Wouldn’t it be better to direct upload the data?</p>

  <p>Not always. We have found that using other people’s data for OSM comes with a lot of hurdles and direct importing can do more damage than good, but that’s no reason to give up on using the data. We just change methods to make it work. As I said in my last post, it’s important to get governments and organizations contributing to OSM, so we want to find a way to make use of data that is not suitable for direct import into OSM.
  As you can see in the picture above there is a layer that we can use to trace over. But you also can see that the subdivision is split into 3 blocks. This is probably due to the fact that it was built in that order. In this data set we see this concept referred to as sections, blocks, phases, and numbers like 1,2,3 smaller sections inside of subdivisions like “commons” and “place”. Naming can be somewhat unpredictable. There are also other things in the data that aren’t great for us, like plots of land that have the names of the development company or name of the owner, things that are not ground truthable so they need to be left out. It’s important to keep in mind that the people collecting this data were not doing it for OSM, and it’s the responsibly of the people bringing in the data to bring it up to local OSM standards.</p>

  <p>But couldn’t we figure out those variables, account for all that, then do a normal import?</p>

  <p>Well going through all the trouble of merging and fixes errors in the data takes longer than just fixing it on the fly. Plus after we have finished doing it by hand, everything is to our local OSM standards, and we have a good place to measure against and track further progress as we automate the process. Also we find many places where we use different tags and draw the lines differently than the county GIS department, so doing it by hand lets us make those judgment calls on a per area basis.</p>

  <p>So is it an import or not?</p>

  <p>Strictly according to the definition on the Wiki, No I don’t think so. However were still using external data to improve OSM so it is important to get permission, document what you’re doing, track the work, and give attribution. Even though the actual edits are coming from our mouse clicks and not automated software. I do think that there should be direction on the wiki for this kind of “reference” work where you get many of the same prerequisites and plan of action to input the data as an import. Both to make sure the data going into OSM is legally allowed and to provide guidance on what tools and methods to
  use.  I’ve seen other structured tasks like this called Map-A-Thons and campaigns on various sites around OSM.  I think the term “Campaign” fits well, and having documentation and tooling and best practices around this concept would be a good thing for mappers who want to make use of data that’s not in good shape for direct importing.</p>

summary:
  <p>I’m primarily working on surveying Electric Vehicle charging stations to power <a href="https://gitlab.com/showmethechargers" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">https://gitlab.com/showmethechargers</a> – I have got everything in the Kirkland Lake + New Liskeard area, everything near the highway through North Bay, and I’m about 6 away from getting all of Kitchener + Waterloo, which I will hopefully get soon.</p>

  <p>I’ve planned a trip to survey Stratford.  After that Cambridge will probably come in bits and pieces over time as I’m not there much.</p>

  <p>My other main survey focuses (usually in areas I’m surveying anyway, or sometimes just while passing through) are: bicycle parking, mailboxes, and business opening hours.</p>

  <p>My main tool of choice for survey right now is to take photos of any useful object or detail with my phone, with compass and location tagging turned on.  This gives me a close (but not exact) geopoint which I can correct using memory + satellite imagery later when inputting with iD.</p>

  <p>I would really like to fix the transit map for Kitchener/Waterloo (since it’s out of date after the new launch) but that’s not really doable in iD and I haven’t sat down to learn JOSM yet.  I’m also not sure how much of that I can claim is from “local knowledge” without being poisoned by seeing the official maps and timetables.  Ideally we could just use the Region’s Open Data but not sure on license compatibility.</p>

summary:
  <p>You can’t use an old map to explore a new world – Albert Einstein</p>

  <p>In life there will always be an “add” to every “venture” of our own “Map”; experiences, knowledge, and people. I started using map during the time I got lost in the place I’m not familiar of back in college while doing school research. It was Google map who helped me locate the place I’m searching.  Since then, it’s the only flatform in maps I used. Until OSM or Open source mapping was introduced to me. I learned that mapping through technology has wide-range capabilities. It isn’t only for locating places, it can also help people, individuals, most specially, communities who are in need during an emergency.</p>

  <p>Mapping is a very useful device to explore more techniques that might help slum communities such as preventing threats and readiness in natural disasters.
  February of this year, a fire incident devastated the Badjao community in barangay 23-C. As I’ve conducted rapid risk assessment, I observed that the stability of the area has changed. The physical map or direction of walkways, locations of the houses, establishments and other features of the Badjao community were unidentified. With this, I’ve come to realized that a map should have an updates for every occurrence of change.</p>

  <p>Opportunities add-up to experiences. When I was informed that I will attend to the Pista ng Mapa invitation, I was thrilled for I will have new experiences in mapping. Also, I felt anxious knowing that I will be expected to present in front of other participants. Nevertheless, I was more grateful for the Badjao kid who accompanied me in the event. He, himself, experienced the mapping and gained knowledge from an actual trial.</p>

  <p>Curiosity and exploration add-up to knowledge. First day of the event was an enigma. I had a hard time deciding which activity I should join first because each of those was quite interesting and knowledgeable. As curiosity continuously arising, I’ve decided to explore to choose the topics that I don’t have knowledge yet. I joined the group where it discussed the “data story telling with open contracting data”. Through this, you’ll be able to analyse the discrepancies or any form of corruption in procurement. As the learning goes further, it gave me an idea that this application will be very useful particularly in BLGUs. The barangay will be able to easily track the expenditure of every allocated budget, especially, the infrastructure budget intended for the development of communities.</p>

  <p>In addition, I had a personal interest in “human experience design for maps” activity. It entails on your specific interest in mapping, conceptualizing maps that might help on specific target. During the activity, I thought of conceptualising a map specifically for abused children. It will be a helpful flatform where they will be able to participate in reporting any forms of child abuse using mobile gadgets, laptops and other useful gadget that will reflect to the map. With this, workers specializing in child protection can easily monitor and respond quickly to the needs of the abused victim.</p>

  <p>Furthermore, I’m truly amazed with the use of drones to map the area. It has great advantage in mapping a huge and complex area or community in minimal time and effort. Considering the community of Badjao, there are many areas that are difficult to access due to its broken walkways. I believe, with the use of drone, we’ll be able to create a map that covers the entire area of Badjao community. Also, we’ll be able to mapped-out all the possible emergency exits during disasters.</p>

  <p>Lastly, coincidental interest add-up to acquaintances and potential partners. Thru mapping, I was able to interact with different people from different places around the country. I was even fascinated that just by having a similar interest; I was able to meet them. Every one of these people has different shared story. Some people from academe integrated mapping to their subject to help the communities; the humanitarians respond to emergencies and disasters uses maps, private companies provide services uses maps (grabb and ways) and every individual whose heart is in community development uses map.</p>

  <p>Mapping is not only for direction or locating places, it’s also allowing us to explore all the possible ways to help and resolve.</p>

  <p>Thank you #PistaNgMapa and Dumaguete for the wonderful experience.
   Hoping for Pista ng Mapa in Davao.</p>

summary:
  <p>Summer has come to an end, and so this post is to wrap up the progress made over the course of the “<a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2019/Project_ideas#Nominatim" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">Add Wikidata to Nominatim</a>” project. Overall, the main contributions are documented in the 4 preceding diary posts, and in:</p>

  <ul>
    <li>updated steps for extracting Wikipedia data and calculating importance scores</li>
    <li>a new script for extracting Wikidata items and place types</li>
  </ul>

  <p>These new processes have made big improvements in several OSM-to-Wikipedia comparison metrics as compared to equivalent numbers from 2013 (when the previous Wikipedia snapshot was taken).</p>

  <h2 id="improved-numbers">Improved Numbers</h2>

  <p>For context, the number of Wikipedia articles in the top 40 languages in 2013 was 80,007,141, and the number of Wikipedia articles for the same 40 languages in 2019 was 142,620,084 - an increase of ~78%.</p>

  <p>Within these article records, in 2013 it was possible under the old processing steps to attach latitude and longitude numbers to 692,541 articles, while in 2019 it was possible to enrich 7,755,392 records with location information - an increase of ~1,020%. This particular statistic largely reflects an improvement in the source Wikipedia / Wikidata projects.</p>

  <p>More exciting, with the old method of linking Wikipedia articles to osm_ids, it was possible to link 313,606 Wikipedia article importance scores to osm_ids, but with the new method that uses both Wikidata item ids, and Wikipedia pages together, the number of Wikipedia article importance scores that can be linked has risen to 4,730,972 - an increase of ~1,409%. This increase is due to both the large number of Wikipedia and WIkidata tags added by OSM contributors since 2013, as well as the inclusion of Wikidata item ids in the linking process for the first time via this project.</p>

  <h2 id="future-work">Future Work</h2>

  <p>Although the project technically concludes today, there are obviously always areas of future work where more gains can be made. These include:</p>

  <ul>
    <li>Continuing to add new Wikidata links to OSM objects (possibly using tools such as the example provided <a href="https://osm.wikidata.link/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">by Edward Betts</a>)</li>
    <li>Increasing the <a href="https://github.com/tchaddad/Nominatim/blob/gsoc2019/data-sources/wikipedia-wikidata/wikidata_places.md" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">number of place types</a> accounted for in the scripts. Currently the top 200 place types are being used, and there are many more that could be added.</li>
    <li>Possibly increasing the number of languages covered. Currently 40 languages are processed.</li>
  </ul>

  <p>In addition, for items without direct database links to be made, a process could be developed to use radius searches, names, and place type information to make educated guesses on remaining items that could be linked. While this enhancement option would be similar to the previous process used in 2013, it may not be as productive as encouraging work in the first two areas mentioned.</p>

  <h2 id="acknowledgements">Acknowledgements</h2>

  <p>I’d like to thank the project mentors <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/lonvia/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">lonvia</a> and <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/mtmail/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferer">mtmail</a> for suggesting this project, and for all their good advice given throughout. I very much appreciate the time it takes to take on mentorship of a remote project such as this, and hope that the results will be of use. I look forward to continuing to contribute on the Wikidata aspects of Nominatim as the ideas on how to utilize the data continue to evolve.</p>

title: PT_Assistant's new features after GSoC 2019

summary:
  <p>(Work in progress)</p>

  <p>During the summer of 2019 Ashish Singh worked on further improvements to PT_Assistant. He improved the data model, which led to a better functioning of sorting stops in public transport routes. It could also lead to nicer visualisations of the routes, but that has not been implemented yet.</p>

  <p>In this diary entry I want to highlight some of the new features and explain others that existed before.</p>

  <h1 id="public-transport">Public transport</h1>

  <h2 id="validator">Validator</h2>

  <p>In the validator everything related to public transport is prepended with
  PT:</p>

  <ul>
    <li>
      <p>It can detect dat routes can be fixed by simply resorting the ways</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>Or that stops aren’t served.</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>It also reports when the highway is not suitable for the mode of transport</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>Or that the vehicle goes against oneway traffic, or takes a turn where there is a turn restriction</p>
    </li>
  </ul>

  <h2 id="visualisation">Visualisation</h2>

  <p>The route that is currently selected or for which the relation editor has focus (it’s on top) is highlighted in purple with the stops in yellow.
  The stops have the ref of the route, followed by a sequence number.</p>

  <h2 id="relation-editor">Relation Editor</h2>

  <h3 id="routing-helper">Routing Helper</h3>

  <ul>
    <li>
      <p>The routing helper was added last year and is now better on (wrongly) split roundabouts</p>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p>There is also a new option, which makes it possible to split the way that is painted in white. The way that was added last in most cases. If a user does this by selection option 8, they get the possibility to make a turn before the white way’s end node is reached. The user selects option 1, 2 or 3. Often there is only 1, or goes further back by using option 8. Once a turn is selected, it is the white way that is split and the side road becomes the new white way.</p>
    </li>
  </ul>

  <h3 id="stops-sorter">Stops sorter</h3>

  <ul>
    <li>Sorting stops was added 2 or 3 years ago, but it sometimes failed when a route passed the same way twice. The stops along these ways were added multiple times, which was confusing and hard to fix manually. Now that the underlying data model was improved, it became possible to add them in a more intelligent way. The model is aware of the side of the road the stop is on and the sorter is aware of the side of the road vehicles drive on in the part of the world where the mapper is editing.</li>
  </ul>

  <h1 id="bicycle-routes">Bicycle routes</h1>

  <h2 id="validator-1">Validator</h2>

  <p>Warnings are prepended with:
  Bicycle:</p>

  <h2 id="visualisation-1">Visualisation</h2>

  <ul>
    <li>The visualisation of the routes takes into account ways on forked branches that have forward/backward roles.</li>
  </ul>

  <h2 id="relation-editor-1">Relation Editor</h2>

  <h3 id="routing-helper-1">Routing Helper</h3>

  <ul>
    <li>The routing helper functionality now also works on bicycle routes and is capable of adding forked branches with proper forward/backward roles.</li>
  </ul>

  <p>The community voting for the OpenStreetMap Awards 2019 is open! We had a call for nominees, during which you have submitted the names of almost a hundred mappers, bloggers, developers and teams. Then OSMF working groups, the Board and past winners helped to prepare a shorter list. And now it is again your turn: <a href="http://awards.osmz.ru/">choose who gets an award</a> during the ceremony at the State of the Map in Heidelberg.</p>



  <p>We have 28 nominees to choose from: six categories of notable mappers, developers, writers and community builders, and a new category for teams: commercial companies and groups of people working together to make OpenStreetMap better. Every one of these worked hard, and deserves every bit of our love.</p>



  <p>You don&#8217;t have to choose only one nominee per category: that would be an impossible choice, given we have so many great people on the list. Click as many checkboxes as you like, even all of them. What matters is not winning, but knowing that hundreds of people support you and your project. The main point of a community is to support its members, and this is your chance to do that. Don&#8217;t forget to press the &#8220;Vote&#8221; button afterwards.</p>



  <p>The voting ends soon, on 18th of September, so please do not postpone visiting the website — spend a minute right now. <strong><a href="http://awards.osmz.ru/">Please vote now</a></strong> and show your appreciation!<br /></p>

Here's a list, displayed outside the Tyne Pedestrian Tunnel at Wallsend.<br /><br />Today I cycled three of these crossings. My main objective was to ride through the Cyclist's Tunnel. That crossing has just been re-opened to connect Jarrow and Wallsend. The other two that I rode were the Millenium Bridge between Gateshead and Newcastle and the ferry between North Shields and South Shields.<br /><br />Connecting these crossings are NCN72 (Hadrian's Cycleway) along the North Bank of the Tyne, and NCN14 along the South Bank (South Tyne Cycleway and part of C2C) . I haven't ridden on NCN14 before, and the last time I rode along this part of NCN72 was over ten years ago (May 2009). At that time the demolition of the Swann Hunter shipyard was under way, and I was struck by the contrast between that significant symbol of industrial decline and other, more positive, signs of investment in new housing, new factories, and new offices.<br /><br />Because it follows the banks of a major river the route is fairly flat. The engineers seem to have capitalised well on past industrial infrastructure, and subsequent development. So much of the route is traffic free, and all of it seems to be well-used. The signage for the tunnel hasn't quite caught up with developments yet, I had a bit of trouble finding the the ferry pier in South Shields, and I missed a coupe of signs hidden behind greenery. But in general the route is very easy to follow. I passed at least <strike>two</strike> three cycle workshops, and there are a few nice refreshment stops (though these are concentrated in relatively few places). There was more graffiti, litter, flytipping and over-grown greenery than I expected.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lhM-zbdxw-0/XW7CtgrP7eI/AAAAAAAAApg/8z7cuz_Fo6cC8LPLFaErA6sUNQj_OsvPACLcBGAs/s1600/48672611031_c5e0effb7b_k.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1066" data-original-width="1600" height="213" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lhM-zbdxw-0/XW7CtgrP7eI/AAAAAAAAApg/8z7cuz_Fo6cC8LPLFaErA6sUNQj_OsvPACLcBGAs/s320/48672611031_c5e0effb7b_k.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>If pretty scenery appeals then you had better look elsewhere. This is a route with a complex history, and some striking contrasts. Today, in a ride of 32 miles, I've seen a wide variety of commercial, industrial and residential areas. Not to mention Segedunum Roman Fort and Museum (at the end of Hadrian's Wall); and the remains of a monastery that was once one of Europe’s most influential centres of learning and home to the Venerable Bede. And several different ways of crossing the Tyne. So not pretty, but plenty to reflect on.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=13/54.9752/-1.5623&amp;layers=C">https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=13/54.9752/-1.5623&amp;layers=C</a><br /><a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=13/54.9752/-1.5623&amp;layers=C" target="_blank"><br /></a><br />

  Lars Schimmer hat auf Talk-AT die Frage <a href="https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-at/2019-August/010221.html">gestellt</a>, wie mit einer Haltestelle in Graz in OSM umgegangen werden soll, wenn dort keine Busse mehr offiziell Halten, oder nur gelegentlich Personen aussteigen lassen und auch keine Haltestellenschilder vorhanden sind. Sein Vorschlag war diese zu löschen. <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/emergency99">emergency99</a> meinte, da Busse ja noch immer daran vorbeifahren, sollte nur <code>stop position</code> und <code>platforms</code> gelöscht werden, damit die Relation nicht zerstört wird. Andreas Uller hat schließlich eine Antwort vom Verkehrsverbund bekommen und diese auf Talk-AT <a href="https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-at/attachments/20190823/151446b6/attachment.html">veröffentlicht</a>, dass die Haltestelle ein Fehler war und diese tatsächlich nicht existiert. Daher war man sich am Schluss einig, dass der Node zu entfernen ist.
