Hi Hugo,<br>
<br>
I use and contribute to Pl@ntNet and it is truly great and a
marvellous endeavour. A thank you to you for working on it! I am
also a believer in "the more the merrier" as a doctrine for
OpenStreetMap. <br>
<br>
I am however dubious about pushing observations into the
OpenStreetMap database, if my understanding is correct as to the
intent.<br>
<br>
Two reasons,<br>
<br>
1) I contribute things like cultivated and wild plants in my garden
and nearby road verges along with geolocation for anyone interested
in looking at geographic spread. I don't think (purely personal
view) that is of 100% value to OpenStreetMap itself - i.e rather
like the Wikipedia notability criteria. At most, I'd have a filter
for only trees.<br>
<br>
2) As I recall from my usage, there are choices when it comes to
geolocation. One is to get a GPS fix, so in the sort of accuracy
used by OpenStreetMap. The other is to use a push pin - I wonder to
what extent folks deliberately make it less than precise for privacy
reason. Just speculating, but that would not be useful for
OpenStreetMap. I've seen some of the ?Corrine tree cover imports and
they are generally terrible. Could observations be restricted to GPS
only?+<br>
<br>
I am going to forward my response and your mail to Jerry Clough who
is both a very active OSMer and a biologist as I am not sure if he
is on this list. He might have some more authoritative thoughts ...
but that is up to him!<br>
<br>
What might be nice (and perhaps useful!) would a plant observation
layer in OSM format that can be combined those interested. I think
we at OpenStreetMap may be missing an opportunity to incorporate
scientific and citizen science data into our ecosphere. The static
natural world - plants, geology and geomorphology - has some sort of
role I'm sure.<br>

<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I'm working on <a href="http://plantnet.org/"
moz-do-not-send="true">Pl@ntNet</a> mobile app (32 M users)
which allow users to identify plants and contribute/share them
(with the geolocation) on Pl@ntNet database. The data is then
available for everyone and also pushed to GBIF.org (a free
global biodiversity database). <br>
</p>
<p>Users requested a feature to push their plant observations to
OSM into Wikidata format. <br>
</p>
<p>The current plan to do this is to have a copy button in the app
which will format the data in text and put it in the user
clipboard on his mobile device: <code> </code></p>
<pre class="notranslate"><code>genus=Cercis
name=arbre de la piscine
natural=tree
species=Cercis siliquastrum
species:fr=Arbre de Judée
src=survey;Observation : Cercis siliquastrum L. (Pascal Vuylsteker 17 juin 2021) Flore mondiale - Pl@ntNet identify
</code></pre>
<p>Would that be ok or ideal?<br>
</p>
<p>If not, what could be done to facilitate adding data to OSM
through Pl@ntNet? <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
Best,
