[Talk-GB] Propose automated edit to update NAPTAN data in the west mids

[Harry Wood]

I was thinking of embarking on some development work to re-examine the NaPTAN dataset myself. We regularly consume this dataset at TransportAPI, so I have some code which works with Stops.csv 

The NoVAM viewer http://www.mappa-mercia.org/novam is currently broken. Probably easy to fix. It's trying to do XAPI calls to an instance which is "forbidden". Can we move that codebase into github and bring it back to life?Why was it called Novam?
Anyway I think this had the right idea of doing comparisons and making it clear which data was changed when. It could be extended to allow selective import too I imagine. 
I'd like to render a more of a UK-wide perspective, so we can see more visually, where data was imported. Also I want to see visually how many stops have been "corrected" by OSMers since import, and I want to do a comparison between naptan versions, to see how many of the stops have changed position within NaPTAN over the years (and find where these updates are not within OpenStreetMap yet. Grimsby town centre used to be a big example of this before I fixed it)

Hi everyone

We have an opportunity to work with the regional transport authority TfWM to update this data which is 8 years old and partially edited by OSM users. They have assigned 2 developers to work on this and I'm spending a half day each week working with them.

We've agreed and discussed this in our mappa mercia group and also contacted a prolific local public transport OSM editor who's not part of  our group.

In line with the automated edits policy there's a wikipage with full details

Comments welcome as this exercise might be useful elswhere as the state of NAPTAN data will be in a similar state

regards

Brian
