Hi,

I'd like to inform you that we are planning to *update the german "Aral"
petrol stations* using a semi-automated process.

*Why are we doing this?*
BP, owner of the brand "Aral", is offering their latest german petrol
station coordinates and additional data for free. The data of approx.
2.350 german Aral petrol stations is made available to the public under
the *Open Database License (ODbL)*.
The data set is available for download at navads.nl, the only official
supplier of BP petrol stations data. The data set contains *coordinates
*collected and owned by BP and *additional data* (name, address, phone,
opening hours and more) suitable for existing OSM tags. Useful
additional information like opening hours can now be added to the
corresponding OSM objects.

*W**hat are we doing?*
The goal is to match OSM's existing german Aral petrol stations with the
latest data made available by the petrol station operator, then add
missing petrol stations and add additional tags to existing stations.
The process will only use common, existing tags. So it's not a bulk
import, but a _rule-based semi-automated update process_. Not to falsify
existing OSM content is the superior requirement. 

*Where is the data we use and what about the license?*
*Data source site*: http://base.navads.eu/bpxml/
CSV dataset column description:
http://base.navads.eu/bpxml/bp_petrol_stations_columns_documentation.csv
*Data license*: http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/
ODbL Compliance verified: yes
*Mirror* (manually updated): http://arnulf.us/BPXML

Currently, the "germany.osm" file contains approx. 1.930 OSM objects
tagged with amenity=fuel and name ilike '%aral%'.
So the initial estimate is to _add approx. 420 Aral petrol stations_ (as
new OSM objects or by editing existing OSM objects).
*
**Will this be a one-time update?*
The downloadable BP petrol station file containing all Aral petrol
stations in Germany will be updated occasionally. When leaving an email
address for download, an email will be sent every time this csv file is
updated. The update process might be executed every time the csv file is
updated, depending on the amount of changes that were detected in
comparison to the required update effort. So there's a good chance to
keep all german Aral petrol stations in OSM up-to-date by running this
process occasionally.

*Where's the import page?*
Information can also be found at the *import page*
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Updating_german_Aral_petrol_stations

*Who is working on it?*
Our *team* consists of
BasNavads (Bas van Kempen, NavAds B.V., Netherlands)
Knutb (Knut Büscher, gb consite GmbH, Germany)
Seven (Arnulf Christl, Metaspatial, Germany)

Best regards,
Knut Büscher
