<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small">I think the issue is how can we make this easy for new mappers. You can select multiple buildings in JOSM by downloading the area then select buildings, then select an author within the selection then move all the buildings by that author at once. It's not complicated just a pain to do if some of the buildings have been corrected already.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small">Sometimes in OSM its less work to blast everything that is there checking the tags first to see its only buildings without additional tags then remap than it is to clean up each building. However that approach is generally frowned on in OSM.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small">May I suggest you freeze this project for the moment and get someone to nudge the existing buildings into place then open it up again.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small">I'm not trying to pour cold water on the project but trying to head off a potential mess.<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small">Cheerio John<br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 7 October 2015 at 16:28, Joshua Campbell <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jcampbell.geo@gmail.com" target="_blank">jcampbell.geo@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">John,<div><br></div><div>In reviewing the existing building data, you are correct it is shifted.

The DigitalGlobe archive shows a lot of collection in that area in May 2013, but one scene in particular (Catalog ID: 1030010022C8C400) is quite good. If this is the scene in Bing, then I'm inclined to think the imagery is spatially correct and serves as a good base to map from. </div><div><br></div><div>Regards,<br>Josh</div><div><div class="h5"><div class="gmail_extra"><div><div><div dir="ltr"><br><div><br></div></div></div></div>

The project is funded by the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery, managed by World Bank and implemented by ARUP (and partners) and includes seismic risk modeling to better understand and manage earthquake risks.</div><div><br></div><div>The unique element to this task is that the resulting OSM data will be directly integrated into a seismic risk model which will be used by the Kyrgyz Republic Government for decision making on risk reduction and preparedness. Additionally the OSM building data will be assessed on the ground and combined with a unique "streetview" type of imagery data. We hope that some of you can help out with the building mapping for this task, and help us test the methodological advancement of using OSM data for risk assessment.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,<br>Josh</div><div> <br clear="all"><div><div><div dir="ltr">------------------<div>Joshua S Campbell PhD</div><div>Senior Disaster Risk Management Specialist</div><div>Innovation Lab</div><div>World Bank GFDRR</div><div><br></div></div></div></div>
