[OSM-talk-be] URBis, Open!

[Jo]

Hi,

I just managed to create another script which automates the integration of
the existing buildings with the buildings generated from the UrbIS data.

It runs inside the scripting plugin of JOSM.

So now there is 1 script to select all the buildings belonging to 1 street.

Then copy/paste this into a new layer.

Download the data from OSM and run the next script.

I'll be in Asse for the following 2 days. If somebody would like some help
to configure JOSM, Jython or a demonstration of how to use these scripts,
you're welcome there:

If you want to come and help with the hacking, bettter subscribe, then
there's even some food included :-)

I refrain from posting the script at the moment, as I'm not done testing
it, quite yet.

Everybody who wants to start using the scripts, also needs to read this:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mechanical_Edit_Policy

Of course, if somebody objects to us improving the address data in Brussels
or have suggestions on how to do it better, they should speak up now.

Hmm, I should go and create a page somewhere, where the process is
described in detail... I'll get around to that.

Important to note:
When uploading changes, you must add a "comment" tag to the changeset that
describes the changes made in this changeset in a human-readable way. You
must also add the tag "mechanical=yes" (or "bot=yes"), and you must link to
the wiki page or user page documenting your changes from the "description"
tag (e.g. "description=http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/MechanicalEdits/John
Doe#Tag Fixup January 2013").


We still have to vet every building manually to eliminate the superfluous
nodes though... I haven't found a way to automate that (yet)

I may come up with yet another script which takes care of setting all those
tags on the changeset, as well as a source tag.
