中國那邊有人在日記抱怨有大量學生畫中南大學一帶,看起來是老師要求學生畫學校附近,但由於缺少 QA 程序,因此產生不少問題資料無人處理。這種事情早晚都需要面對,需要動員社群成員去修正,或是決定資料實在是太差了,通通砍掉處理。極端嚴重的情形可以找 Data Working Group 協助,將溝通無效的帳號封一段時間,給予社群時間來修正。

臺灣這邊的經驗則告訴我們,要與顯然是做老師指定的作業學生溝通,用變更集留言,大都是沒什麼回應的。社群有時間就直接介入修正就好,再來研究他們學生是從那裡來的。如果沒時間也不想幫人修正,那就通通刪掉就好,必要時再請 Data Working Group 處理,能夠暫時封掉沒有回應的帳號,暫緩不讓問題擴大。

我還記得臺灣這邊遇過最嚴重的事情是美光團,他們用 HOT Task Manager 畫彰化、雲林一帶的建築,最後實在產生太多問題建築,已經超出社群能修正的程度,與 Data Working Group 談好就把他們產生的資料通通刪除。

其他遇到的問題編輯團體還有彰化學校的編輯團,一直到現在都還不知道是那間學校的學生所為。還有一個加心理醫療場所的人,也是有問題,因為八成他的經緯度是從 Google 地圖用 Geo-coding 產生的,資料授權是有問題的。

OSM Wiki 有組織編輯指引,當有團體計劃有大量成員編輯時,就要在 Wiki 頁面登記,要留帶頭的聯絡人資料,畫地圖的目的,以及持續的時間。臺灣環境資訊協會的飲水地圖計畫就有留資料登記。組織編輯指引是 OpenStreetMap 生態系相當重要的指引,也能看其他團體的範例,是怎麼登記他們計劃做的事情。

對於社群來說,找到帶頭者,跟老師能夠好好溝通,老師得知道 OpenStreetMap 是不少重要網站依賴的圖資,學生投入貢獻需要認真,不能隨意增添地圖資料。對於剛接觸 OpenStreetMap 的學生來說,先讓他們畫簡單的東西,例如學校、住家附近的店家,別一下子給學生太過複雜,範圍太大的事務。

再來中國的環境其實不允許一般人來畫地圖,個人畫地圖是違反中國的法律。找到地圖團的帶頭者,然後在組織編輯頁面登記,好像那裡怪怪的,並不是好的處理方式。另外學生帳號用真實姓名的問題,在中國的網路環境下,還是用代號,別輕易曝光真實姓名比較好。

There are lots of ways to turn OSM editing/updating into game/quest like activities. One of them is the app “Street Complete” which is great for use “on the go”. Should be great on a bicycle perhaps.

Other notes: MapwithAI is working with OSM to quickly turn imagery into editable features. Unfortunately in a place like HD this will probably result in lots of false roads, as I found with Google Maps in Hubli - ending up next to the airport wall. https://mapwith.ai/#13/-7.95604/31.59543/0/55

Are there local mapping groups in the Hubli Dharwad area?

China mappers complain about there are many students mapping around Zhongnan University, which seems assigned by school teachers, but lack of QA process after students had done their mapping tasks. These kinds of issues are faced by the community someday, whatever the community decides to fix it, or just remove the low-quality stuff, it is all OK. And in an extreme case, the community could ask the Data Working Group for help, by banning accounts that keep editing and adding low-quality data, getting some precious time for the community members to fix the data.

As a Taiwanese mapper, Taiwan experience of dealing with school assigned tasks from teachers, leaving changeset comments are quite useless, few will response to the comments. Directly fixing the error or low-quality data is faster, and reseach where do these change come from? If you do not want to spend your time of fixing error or improving the data quality, then just delete the stuff is OK. If the damage so big and no response from the mapper, can’t be handle by community, then the Data Working Group can step in and no further damage.

Recenlty most serve incident in Taiwan is Micron editing group. They use HOT Task Manager to draw buildings in Changhua and Yunlin. They drew so many problem buildings, that can’t be handle by the community, so the HOT ask Data Working Group to step in and delete all the buildings by Micron editng group.

Another incidents like editing group from shcool of Changhua, which one could not trace which school they belong to. And another incident like some mappers adding psychological medical clinic, which using coordinate geocoding by Google Maps, there is a data license issue.

Action for Economic Reforms (AER) is a Philippine non-government organization engaged in research and advocacy. It conducts policy analysis and advocacy on macroeconomic reforms, universal health care, industrial policy, freedom of information, among others, and key issues of the day.

Coalescing Organizations towards Locally Led Actions to Boost Development (COLLABDev) is a partnership initiative of AER and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to promote human-centered, data-driven development in the Philippines. One of the main components of the COLLABDev project is to promote the development of existing open geospatial communities and data, especially in the 14 sites from the six provinces covered.

On October 8, 2021, the University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines (USTP) as one of the partner State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) in Mindanao, signed the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to assist Local Government Units (LGUs) in the drive to use data to craft policies and to implement projects and programs of the COLLABDev Project.

State of the Map - Eastvale

  1. Roads - Currently they are mapped and seem to be fairly accurate
  2. Buildings and Businesses - Currently building and businesses are mostly mapped
  3. Residential Housing - Eastvale is lacking addresses, residential housing areas

Currently I’m dedicating my time to add address and residential housing to OSM as Eastvale is heavily lacking basic navigation

27 New Houses and Addresses Mapped!

A few weeks ago I was told by a Lorry driving friend that a new Truck only service station had opened nearby. I was quite surprised as Lorry driving infrastructure is normally not the best in the UK, and I was quite surprised to see a brand new facility.

Based on dash-cam footage they showed me and Bing aerial images, I attempted to get as much information as possible.

In een vorige blog post ben ik begonnen over burgerparticipatie. Kernidee is dat de burger zelf meer initiatief neemt, niet wacht op een uitnodiging van de gemeente, zelf op zoek gaat en met ideeën komt. In dit artikel schrijf ik hoe ik de speelvoorzieningen in de wijk heb geïnventariseerd. Mijn doel is om er voor te zorgen dat er voldoende speelmogelijkheden in de woonwijk komen en dat deze daar blijven.

В Ростовской области МЧС и ДПЧС РО это отдельные структуры. Причины этого не выяснял. Также пока не изучал структуру МЧС.

中國遐有人寫日記哼(hainn)有大量學生佇中南大學畫地圖,看起來是老師按學生畫學校附近,但是缺少 QA 的程序,予袂少有問題的資料無人插。這是早慢欲面對的問題,社群愛動員去修理,抑是畫甲傷䆀做理由攏刣刣掉矣。嘛會使揣 Data Working Group 協助,共講袂聽的口座封一寡時間,予社群成員有時間清理佮修正。

臺灣遮的經驗是,共一寡看起來是學生做學校指定作業的口座溝通,用變更集留話,通常是無回應的。對社群來講有時間就直接修改好勢,閣來研究𪜶是對佗位來的。無想欲改就攏總刣掉嘛無要緊,必要時予 Data Working Group 處理,處理無回應閣繼續編織的口座,至少無予問題擴大。

會記得臺灣遮上嚴重的底代是美光團,用 HOT Task Manager 佇咧畫彰化,雲林遐的建築,最後因為問題建築傷濟矣,無法度修改好勢,予 Data Working Group 資料攏刣刣掉。

其他的代猶閣有彰化遐學校學生的編輯團,一直毋知是佗位的學校咧畫。猶有人加上心理醫療場所的POI,嘛是有一寡問題,因為應該是共地址用 Google 轉成經維度,資料的授權有淡薄仔問題。

OSM Wiki有組織編輯指引,有團體愛編輯,著愛登記佇 Wiki 頁面,愛留𤆬頭的人聯絡資料,目的,佮時間。臺灣環境資訊協會的啉水地圖計畫就有留資料登記。組織編輯指引應該是 OpenStreetMap 生態系內底,會當參考佮遵守的指引,嘛會當參考別人是按怎處理的。

上好是揣著頭,共老師好好矣溝通,老師愛知影 OpenStreetMap 予袂少重要的網站使用,學生貢獻是愛頂真,袂使清彩處理。通常予學生畫較簡單的事物,親像講學校,徛家附近的店家,莫予學生畫傷複雜,傷大的範圍。

又閣有中國的環境無允准一般人來畫地圖,個人畫地圖是違反𪜶的法律。愛揣到頭人佇Orgaizated Editing Guideline頁面登記,感覺毋是傷好的處理方式。另外學生個人號口座用真實姓名抑是問題。佇中國的網路環境,線頂的口座號一个代號較好,莫用真實姓名號口座的名號是較好的做法。

本文首发于中华人民共和国的wiki页面

本wiki页面有非常详尽的行政区划标签使用方法,但是仍然还有争议,而且与其它wiki页面的解释完全不同。造成目前地图编辑时,不同城市的不同编辑者描述同一事物(如标注社区、街道、自然村、开发区时)经常使用不同的place标签。为统一标准,避免重复工作,现发起如下讨论。

本讨论旨在解决以下问题:

  • 目前有20个国家级新区使用place=cityplace=suburb,是否需要统一为place=city。以及是否需要扩大对于市级和区级开发区的适用范围。

  • 在村级自治组织,建成区与其他社区相接的社区使用place=quarter, 建成区独立于建成区的社区使用place=village是否有问题,以及目前村委会统一只使用place=village,是否也有必要进行上述和居委会一样的区分。

  • 强调自然村和行政村需要使用不一样的标签,对自然村的标注要强调根据规模不同使用place=hamletplace=isolated_dwelling两种不同标签。

  • 在上述几个问题解决后,需要确定是否有必要根据Key:place和子章节的内容为place=boroughplace=suburbplace=quarterplace=neighbourhoodplace=city_block等标签做中国化的单独定义(决定标签用于哪个行政等级,以及确定与原生标签place=city、place=town、place=village在定义上如何区分)亦或者选择将那些标签弃之不用。

除了在wiki讨论页讨论以外,也可在QQ群或电报群讨论,目的是让尽可能多中文用户就以上问题达成社区共识,避免再发生编辑上的标准冲突。

Whilst writing my previous post on Welsh Heaths I discovered that a hill on the Llŷn Peninsula shown as heath in the Phase 1 survey has no landcover mapping on OSM. I walked up Myndydd Rhiw in 2008, just before I started contributing to OSM – so I failed to take enough photos. The weather was not very good that day so I’d opted for a car journey to visit locations on Llŷn rather than brave the rain in Snowdonia. Rhiw was the only place which wasn’t chosen because of personal associations: not only had we holidayed there several times during my childhood, but my great-grandmother’s family come from Llŷn,

Today I am completing two years as an OpenStreetMap contributor so to celebrate I will make a brief retrospective about this last year. 2021 was not an easy year for the Brazilians with the negligence of the government we reached the mark of 600k dead by Covid-19, besides the return of hunger and high inflation but as Belquior would say I can consider myself lucky, editing in OSM gave me strength to endure many things, mapping this year was like a therapy. This year I also had the opportunity to meet incredible projects and people!

Statics

Some numbers:

  • 22,503 edits
  • 170,425 buildings mapped
  • 15.202 Km of roads mapped
  • 9.926 Points of interest mapped
  • 4,323 Km of rivers mapped

What happened to Mapeia.Space?

It is a complicated story, first we had to change after DAMN totally changed the way we work and as Hot TM seemed to have matured in the performance issue so we decided to switch to Tasking Manager what happened is that we had to start from scratch again… we had a problem with our hosting at the same time I received the invitation to use HOT Tasking Manager (Thanks Wille and Vitor George for this opportunity) since then there were 7 published projects. Then there was no reason to maintain an own instance of Tasking Manager so the mapeia.space was closed although I tried to create an organization around Mapeia to promote mapping which also didn’t work but in the end it ended up giving as a fruit of research on the use of online maps.
