Hi,<br>
<br>
I'd like to inform you that we are planning to <b>update the german
"Aral" petrol stations</b> using a semi-automated process.<br>
<br>
<b>Why are we doing this?</b><br>
BP, owner of the brand "Aral", is offering their latest german
petrol station coordinates and additional data for free. The data of
approx. 2.350 german Aral petrol stations is made available to the
public under the <b>Open Database License (ODbL)</b>.<br>
The data set is available for download at navads.nl, the only
official supplier of BP petrol stations data. The data set contains
<b>coordinates </b>collected and owned by BP and <b>additional
data</b> (name, address, phone, opening hours and more) suitable
for existing OSM tags. Useful additional information like opening
hours can now be added to the corresponding OSM objects.<br>
<br>
<b>W</b><b>hat are we doing?</b><br>
The goal is to match OSM's existing german Aral petrol stations with
the latest data made available by the petrol station operator, then
add missing petrol stations and add additional tags to existing
stations. The process will only use common, existing tags. So it's
not a bulk import, but a <u>rule-based semi-automated update
process</u>. Not to falsify existing OSM content is the superior
requirement. <br>
<br>
<b>Where is the data we use and what about the license?</b><br>
<b>Data source site</b>: <a href="http://base.navads.eu/bpxml/">http://base.navads.eu/bpxml/
</a><br>
CSV dataset column description: <a
href="http://base.navads.eu/bpxml/bp_petrol_stations_columns_documentation.csv">http://base.navads.eu/bpxml/bp_petrol_stations_columns_documentation.csv
</a><br>
<b>Data license</b>: <a
href="http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/">http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/
</a><br>
ODbL Compliance verified: yes <br>
<b>Mirror</b> (manually updated): <a href="http://arnulf.us/BPXML">http://arnulf.us/BPXML</a><br>
<br>
Currently, the "germany.osm" file contains approx. 1.930 OSM objects
tagged with amenity=fuel and name ilike '%aral%'.<br>
So the initial estimate is to <u>add approx. 420 Aral petrol
stations</u> (as new OSM objects or by editing existing OSM
objects).<br>
<b><br>
</b><b>Will this be a one-time update?</b><br>
The downloadable BP petrol station file containing all Aral petrol
stations in Germany will be updated occasionally. When leaving an
email address for download, an email will be sent every time this
csv file is updated. The update process might be executed every time
the csv file is updated, depending on the amount of changes that
were detected in comparison to the required update effort. So
there's a good chance to keep all german Aral petrol stations in OSM
up-to-date by running this process occasionally.<br>
<br>
<b>Where's the import page?</b><br>
