Hi,<br><br>I just managed to create another script which automates the integration of the existing buildings with the buildings generated from the UrbIS data.<br><br>It runs inside the scripting plugin of JOSM.<br><br>So now there is 1 script to select all the buildings belonging to 1 street.<br>
<br>Then copy/paste this into a new layer.<br><br>Download the data from OSM and run the next script.<br><br>I'll be in Asse for the following 2 days. If somebody would like some help to configure JOSM, Jython or a demonstration of how to use these scripts, you're welcome there:<br>
<br><a href="http://www.rhok.be/">http://www.rhok.be/</a><br><br>If you want to come and help with the hacking, bettter subscribe, then there's even some food included :-)<br><br>I refrain from posting the script at the moment, as I'm not done testing it, quite yet.<br>
<br>Everybody who wants to start using the scripts, also needs to read this:<br><br><a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mechanical_Edit_Policy">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mechanical_Edit_Policy</a><br><br>
Of course, if somebody objects to us improving the address data in Brussels or have suggestions on how to do it better, they should speak up now.<br><br>Hmm, I should go and create a page somewhere, where the process is described in detail... I'll get around to that.<br>
<br>Important to note:<br>When uploading changes, you must add a "comment" tag to the changeset
that describes the changes made in this changeset in a human-readable
way. You must also add the tag "mechanical=yes" (or "bot=yes"), and you
must link to the wiki page or user page documenting your changes from
the "description" tag (e.g.
"description=<a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mechanical">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mechanical</a> Edits/John
Doe#Tag Fixup January 2013").<br><br><br>We still have to vet every building manually to eliminate the superfluous nodes though... I haven't found a way to automate that (yet)<br><br>I may come up with yet another script which takes care of setting all those tags on the changeset, as well as a source tag.<br>
