[OSM-talk-be] Importing Villo! API data

[CedB12]

Hello again,

Sorry for taking so much time after my last message. I guess I can now
share a concrete proposal for name tag changes to continue the
discussion.

I have put everything in a few different formats in the following
repository:

   https://github.com/cedb12/villo-names

My main contribution of data is in the CSV file, which cleans up the
Villo! API data and provides Dutch translations when missing.

Yves suggested to base those translations on nearby "official" names
such as streets, buildings or MIVB public transport stations. The data
in the repository now follows this advice. There are also a few
additional translation candidates which I marked as "nl:own translation"
in the "note" column of the CSV file. I include them in my tagging
proposal for now because they seem reasonable to me, but we can discuss
this.

There are only two very small details which I am not too sure about:

"Parvis de Saint-Gilles": should we name it "Sint-Gillis Voorplein"
after the MIVB station, or use the spelling "Sint-Gillisvoorplein",
which (I assume) is used on street name plates?

"Vieux Tilleul" is named after "Square du Vieux Tilleul -
Oude-Lindesquare". I put "Oude Linde" in the CSV file because I am not
sure why there is a hyphen in the street name. Should we use
"Oude-Linde" instead?


The git repository also contains comparisons of this cleaned up API data
with existing OSM data. I created three GeoJSON files (one for each tag:
name, name:fr and name:nl) highlighting the differences (see also the
README file). The readme file includes links to geojson.io to visualize
the data.

I also formatted those differences in a markdown file (conflation.md)
which may be more convenient to review.


If those proposed names seem fine to all of you, I can proceed with the
merging of those name tags into our existing OSM nodes.

My proposal for official_name still stands. It would be the same as the
"name" column in the CSV file in the GitHub repo linked above, which I
automatically derived from the Villo! API.


Independently of naming issues, since I saw no objection to my use of
this API data (regarding license and automated edits), I went ahead and
fixed 26 'ref' tags of existing stations based on distance. I reviewed
the changed nodes individually to make sure I made no mistake in
matching OSM nodes to API records. The changeset is here:

Cheers,

Cédric
