[Imports] UPLOADING U-WIMP project data to osm

[Phil Wyatt]

Hi Stellamaris,

 

I think what Frederik is suggesting is that many of your ‘names’ are actually other keys/values

 

*	a spring would be natural=spring
*	a well or bore hole would be man_made=water_well
*	water tank would be man_made=storage_tank, content=water

 

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:man_made%3Dwater_well

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:man_made%3Dstorage_tank

 

Cheers - Phil

Thank you, Frederik, for the feedback.  

All tags have an acceptable osm_xml data file. I will make the corrections to the doc too. 

 

On one thing. In this entire dataset, the most important attribute is the name: [deep_borehole, protected_spring, etc]. Our water infrastructures do not have extra name tags besides those. Also according to the Key/Value Pair of OSM in Uganda, this is exactly what we have and so what I used. Why should this be rejected for upload? 

 

Thank you!

Hi,

I have looked at the list of proposed tags on the wiki page and I 
suggest the following changes:

source - don't add this to individual objects, only to changesets. Also 
"source=YouthMappers" is not very helpful if the YM data itself has been 
collected partly through survey (then put source=survey) and partly 
through remote mapping from imagery (source=whatever the image source was).

date - you put "no" in your "osm upload" column but you could probably 
upload this as survey_date

name - under no circumstances should you use descriptive names like 
"Deep Borehole", "Protected Spring", "Rain Water Harvest Tank", "Shallow 
Well". Your import would very likely be reverted if you did that. Fill 
the "name" tag only if the object actually has a name (like for example 
"Kitagata Hot Springs" or so).

Operator:type - do not capitalise. If you really want to put "Name of 
operating entity" there, do not use "operator:type", just "operator".

fees - use "fee" (no s)

Operational_status - do not capitalise. Research values.

pump - I am unsure about this. Others with more water infrastructure 
mapping experience might advise.

addr:* tags - do not use. They are for objects that can receive physical 
mail, not for water pumps.

Bye
Frederik
