[Talk-transit] NaPTAN bus stop database import

[Brian Prangle]

Hi All

I've added to Thomas's initial work and  completed what I think we should
import and what the tagging scheme should look like in
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/NaPTAN/Tag_mappings. Please take a look
and shoot down in flames/agree/amend: particularly inclusion/exclusion
proposals

Generally if the text of the proposed tag following the naptan: preamble is
in the format "word1_word2" it is our substitute for an ambiguous or verbose
NaPTAN field name, otherwise it's a copy (complete with CapitiLisation) of
the NaPTAN field name


Three questions:

Hail and ride section of route, with a linear footprint.

Flexible zone, with an area footprint.

1.Presumably these are represented for HAR with 2 nodes (start and end) and
for FLX with multiple nodes (min 3) for which we would have to draw a way
between them and add a tag to the way. (naptan:HAR=yes and naptan:FLX=yes)

2.Thomas-  how easy is this to add the way and tag it within the import
process or should  drawing the way and tagging it  be left to manual
intervention? Roger – how many of these are there?

3. If we can agree the entire tagging and import scheme would we get any
extra benefit from offering it for discussion on talkgb or should we just
get on with it?


An observation:

With about 30 fields to be imported are editor screens going to look too
cluttered for the average OSMer? TIGER data takes up a lot of screen real
estate and there's a lot less fields. Should we (can we) cull the fields to
be imported?
