<p class="MsoPlainText">Thank you for providing feedback on some
of the edits made by National Trust staff as part of our
organised editing activity, on the representation of paths.
We’d like to apologise that it has taken some time to provide
a response. We are always open to constructive feedback that
helps us to add value to OSM for the benefit of all.</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> </p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">The aim of the National Trust’s
organised editing activity is to capture and accurately tag
the access rights of all paths on or near National Trust
managed land. In doing so, we hope to use it as the basis for
enhancing access and the management of paths, to improve
visitor experience.</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> </p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">We are trying to be consistent in how
ways are tagged / represented in OpenStreetMap. A standard
schema and internally developed guidance are being utilised to
help map commonly occurring scenarios. This schema can be
found on the OSM Wiki page (link). We currently have 5 staff
members conducting remote mapping sessions with local rangers
to gain their on-the-ground insight. We believe that working
with the on-the-ground staff provides our best available
source of local knowledge, but we acknowledge there may be
situations where there are differing opinions on path
representation. The Trust invite feedback from OSM mappers,
but it may take some time to review each situation.
</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> </p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">In the time available, we are focusing
on the existence of the path (ie. location and connectivity)
and the legal right (ie. access tags). In the future, we hope
to look at other attributes to represent the characteristics
of the path. Following the initial data capture, we plan to
hand over OSM updates to the ranger teams; we are currently
refining the guidance material to support this. Feedback from
the OSM community to help ensure we are providing appropriate
guidance is welcome.
</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> </p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">We tend to use a standard changeset
comment as it would be very difficult to capture details of
every change. However, since receiving feedback on the Talk-GB
mailing list, we have amended our standard comment to be more
representative of the type of changes that have been made on
individual properties. As part of the process, we have a
monitoring tool that looks at the weekly changes to paths in
OSM on land managed by the National Trust. This could be made
publicly available as an Esri Open Data WMS if it would
provide further transparency. We accept in the time that we
have, occasional errors will be made. After our first round of
data capture, we have allocated time to analyse and assure the
quality of changes by our team.
</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> </p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Overall, we expect that the changes will
improve the representation of paths on OSM, but we are very
keen to improve our process by utilising the wealth of
knowledge and experience in the OSM community.</p>
