Unschön, mag ich gar nicht. Mach ich trotzdem manchmal.

Zum Editieren von Objekten einer Objektklasse muss ich sie identifizieren und unterscheiden können. In den meisten Fällen ist der Name dafür ausreichend. Aber nicht immer. Der Name könnte nicht existieren oder er existiert mehrfach im Editiergebiet. Einfachste Lösung: Namen erfinden bzw. auf Unterscheidbarkeit modifizieren.

Einfach ja, aber unsauber. Grundsätzlich ist hier das Wiki sehr klar: im name-Tag soll nur ein real existierender Eigenname stehen und nur der Eigenname [1].

Beispiele für suspekte Eigennamen

• Wanderweg 786 Viele ÖAV-Wanderwege haben keinen Namen, name=Wanderweg XXX ist sicher kein Eigenname
• Dorfkapelle Krusdorf Kategorie + Ort ist meist kein Eigenname. Hier ist es definitiv nicht korrekt, der Eigenname ist “Maria von den Engeln”
• Bus 600: Leibnitz Postamt => Graz Don Bosco Bahnhof Ein vollständig konstruierter Name. Das Public Transport Schema [2] hat das name-Tag vollständig gekapert
• Murradweg Verbindungsrouten (AT) der Eigenname wird mit der Ergänzung zu einem beschreibenden Namen
• Apotheke, Fußballplatz, Toilette Gattungsnamen sind kaum jemals Eigennamen. Spaßig die Diskussion Is name=Toilet even theorethically valid for amenity=toilets?

Meine konstruierten Namen

Viele Radrouten haben Alternativen, Zubringer und optionale Exkursionen. Nur bei kleinen und einfachen (ohne forward/backward) Routen verwende ich zur Benennung die Rolleneigenschaft [3]. Meist teile ich die Route aber in eine Hauptroute und in eine Alternative Route, mit allen Varianten, Zubringer und Exkursionen, auf. Oft unterteile ich auch die Hauptroute weiter in Etappen, um die Größe der Relationen unter 500 Mitgliedern zu halten.

Zur Unterscheidung der Teilrelationen ergänzte ich bisher die Namen:

Hi,

My name is Branko from Microsoft. Microsoft’s involvement with OSM spans several impactful contributions:

• Providing Bing imagery since 2010 for free use in OSM for whole world (and all the drama that comes with it)
• Creating Map builder – intuitive editor for Bing users that want to edit OSM map (and all the drama that comes with it)
• Maintaining iD in the interim period before Martin took over (sorry, no drama here, just plain good old maintainership)
• Released world coverage of AI-mined building footprints and road data as open data

This list is not intended to be PR for Microsoft, and I know this sounds like a corporate cliché, but this list is hopefully showing that Microsoft is really committed to success of OSM. Stuff that we did previously, stuff in that list above, is stuff that we think will benefit the community and improve OSM contributions. And we hope it did! A lot of us recently visited SotM EU 2023 and I hope you saw us all around. That event allowed us to see stuff from a different perspective and to try to think out of the box. So, we thought, what if we pause trying to figure out what is the best way to improve OSM contributions on our own and instead - ask YOU how Microsoft can help!? Yes, YOU, the community, directly here in the diary😊. I know this may sound unconventional, but hey – OSM is also not the most conventional project out there, so we thought this might just be the proper way to gather interesting ideas.

حكفة عيت بومنصور

حكفة الزيات

A week ago, one of my riding companions lost her horse in a tragic traffic accident at a busy intersection. Now, the Colorado equestrian community is demanding change in our suburbs to prevent pedestrian, equestrian, and cyclist injuries and deaths. One of our starting steps is to map popular riding routes that use public roads so that our legislators can identify problem areas and work to resolve unsafe traffic conditions caused by inadequate infrastructure.

De nouveau une semaine calme sur OSM avec juste un gros changeset pour résoudre des “problèmes”, une petite séance de micromapping dans le Fond de Seraing et des corrections ici et là. La semaine prochaine sera encore plus calme pour raisons personnelles et il est probable que je ne fasse pas une entrée à cause de ça.

Pour les vidéos, j’ai surtout fini la fameuse randonnée d’il y a presque un mois maintenant (de nouveau pour être tranquille) et enregistré une des quatre sessions ci-dessus. Donc on a :

Améliorons Seraing (sur OpenStreetMap) - Épisode 18 (Ougrée et ses “problèmes”) - La version live de ce changeset en gros

Ce randonneur vous emmène avec lui sur le Sentier de Ville en Cour (ou Vicinal 51 d’Ivoz) à Flémalle - Troisième partie de la randonnée qui se concentre surtout sur le sentier vicinal n°51 d’Ivoz-Ramet qui a été “modifié” en 2021. Le tracé original n’existait plus depuis belle lurette apparemment et le tracé actuel est le vrai depuis plus d’un siècle, ce n’était juste pas encore officiel dans l’atlas des voiries vicinales

Ce randonneur finit sa sortie par une ascension du Bois de l’Abbaye à Seraing… et se perd un peu - Dernière partie de la randonnée avec la remontée finale vers Seraing… où je me paume un peu dans un bois que j’ai pas mal corrigé/redessiné depuis que je suis sur OSM

Et c’est tout pour cette semaine. Il est probable que je sois au moins actif sur OSM même, mais je prends une petite pause avec les vidéos le temps de régler ce petit problème personnel.

A+

A PRECIOUS STONE WORTHY CELEBREATED A CASE OF STATE OF MAP AFRICA 2023.

The State of the Map Africa (SotM Africa) is a bi-annual regional conference that celebrates the culture of open mapping, open data, GIS, and its impact across Africa. The OSM community in Uganda hosted the first SotM Africa conference in 2017. In 2021, It was hosted in Abidjan and Grand-Bassam in Ivory Coast. The 2021 conference planned in Nairobi, Kenya was virtually hosted (online). This year’s conference was hosted in Yaoundé, Cameroon under the theme “Open Mapping as a Support Tool for Local Development in Africa“ [https://2023.stateofthemap.africa/about] The OSM Africa community has rapidly grown in recent years and as a way of embracing Africanism, SotMAfrica has been practised since 2017 and is regarded as the biggest gathering for all OSM African communities. Again this year from 30th November to 2 December 2023 the African biggest gathering was hosted in Yaounde, Mbankomo - Cameroon.

Hello, my name is Janeth Mwakisole and I’m from Tanzania.

I had the opportunity to attend the State of the Map Africa conference in Yaounde, Cameroon from 30th November to 2nd December 2023. This conference was about celebrating and showcasing the culture of open mapping in Africa. I learned a lot about the significance of open mapping in supporting sustainable community development. One of the crucial things I grasped is the value of data-based decision-making. Open data is a dependable and efficient tool, especially in communities that have limited resources. By utilizing open mapping and the information it provides, communities can make well-informed decisions that optimize their scarce resources and contribute to long-term progress.

One of the things I found particularly interesting was how open mapping can contribute to climate resilience because it is related to my career background. I also learned about waste management and how it can be improved through open mapping. Of course, there are a lot of things to share, and I have mentioned only a few of them.

During the conference, I met and connected with people from different countries in Africa and worldwide. For example, I met Geoffrey Katerrega from Uganda, Kennedy Jomokela, and Charles Chifulya from Zambia, and many more from Cameroon and other parts of the world.

I had the opportunity to moderate and participate in the panels at the conference, which was a completely new experience. I’m grateful for the chance I was given, and I believe, through what I have learned at the conference, I’ll be able to make fruitful impacts in my community and further develop my career.
