[OSM-dev] Synchronizing Charge Station Data

Dear openstreetmap developers,

a few days ago I started making a software project open source that I
created about a year ago.

The goal is to be able to track the charging of electrical vehicles with
info like

- where

- when

- with how much energy

the EV was charged.

For the "where" part I need access to a list of vehicle charging
stations. I tried the following options:

- wikidata

- openchargemap

- openstreetmap

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tag:amenity=charging_station

- Bundesnetzagentur (germany) only

You'll find the current state of affairs described at
http://wiki.bitplan.com/index.php/EVChargeLog

For integration openstreetmap I'd need some input and advice.

Currently I am looking for a java library to be useable and I found:

https://github.com/westnordost/osmapi

as well as

https://github.com/osmapi/osmapi-java

The second library seems to be much simpler but not as well maintained.
I have already forked it and would like to know whether it
makes sense to base my efforts on that library.

Also I would like to know how much "synchronization" has been going on
in the past between openstreetmap/openchargemap.

With the current state of affairs i could help "bulk-importing" or
"bulk-synchronizing" since I integrated with my SimpleGraph OpenSource
project which makes such API synchronizations much simpler - see
http://www.bitplan.com/index.php/SimpleGraph#Module_Hub_and_Spoke.

I am looking forward for your feedback.


Cheers

  Wolfgang
