<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Hi both,<br><br></div>Those are some really neat ideas! I hope you are thinking about sharing them at State of the Map in September ;-) We have a theme of "change" this year and one of the areas I am interested in is how we manage external data sources. Public Rights of Way are a great example as it poses several questions:<br>
<br></div>1) How do we check that we have included all the PROW routes in OSM? This is complicated by the fact that our "way" may not have exactly the same geometry as the external data's "polyline".<br>
</div>2) How can we monitor for changes in the external (Local Authority) data/shapefiles?<br></div>3) Where can automated tests help, and where is manual intervention always needed?<br></div><div>4) Can we make use of the Cycle Paths merge functionality that was added to Potlatch 2?<br>
</div><div><br></div>I would love to hear more about this at SOTM 2013. We have some lightning talks slots and can also print posters for you [see link below]. Perhaps this would make a good poster?<br><br><a href="http://2013.stateofthemap.org/info/call-presentations/">http://2013.stateofthemap.org/info/call-presentations/</a><br>
