And regarding option 2's cons, I have only this to say: May tiyaga, may nilaga (or something like that).<br><br>---<br>Tony Montana: Me, I want what's coming to me.<br>Manny Ribera: Oh, well what's coming to you?<br>Tony Montana: The world, chico, and everything in it.<br>-----<br>http://ianlopez1115.wordpress.com/<br><br><br>--- On <b>Wed, 11/11/09, maning sambale <i><emmanuel.sambale@gmail.com></i></b> wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><br>From: maning sambale <emmanuel.sambale@gmail.com><br>Subject: [talk-ph] best practice for mapping landuse=farm<br>To: "osm-ph"
<talk-ph@openstreetmap.org><br>Date: Wednesday, November 11, 2009, 8:58 PM<br><br><div class="plainMail">Hi,<br><br>I am currently tracing farms in Bulacan from the spot5 imagery. The<br>current practice I do following this example<br>(<a href="http://osm.org/go/4zhBwibC" target="_blank">http://osm.org/go/4zhBwibC</a>) is to map as much as possible separate<br>fields subdivided by "pilapils", irrigation canals and hedgerows. But<br>this gets to be a daunting task over time.<br>I am reading the discussion over the talk page (<br><a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tag:landuse%3Dfarm" target="_blank">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tag:landuse%3Dfarm</a> ) and the<br>proposed approaches are:<br> 1. Draw a polygon enclosing an entire island, like Great<br>Britain, or even a subcontinent, like Europe; tag it as farmland; and<br>then let everything else sit on top of that. Pro: least
effort for<br>mappers. Con: no way to mark unvisited land; risks telling lies.<br> 2. Draw every field or farm separately, as it gets surveyed,<br>and admit that we don't know about the rest. Pro: the most honest,<br>accountable solution. Con: time-consuming, lots of data.<br><br>Which one should we adopt? I'm inclined to follow option 2.<br><br>-- <br>cheers,<br>maning<br>------------------------------------------------------<br>"Freedom is still the most radical idea of all" -N.Branden<br>wiki: <a href="http://esambale.wikispaces.com/" target="_blank">http://esambale.wikispaces.com/</a><br>blog: <a href="http://epsg4253.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">http://epsg4253.wordpress.com/</a><br>------------------------------------------------------<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>talk-ph mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:talk-ph@openstreetmap.org"
