[Talk-us] identifying TIGER deserts

[Michal Migurski]

Are you guys using the way version number to determine TIGERness? This from Andy Allan might be more effective:

    --
    -- TIGER edits case statement from
    -- https://github.com/MapQuest/TIGER-Edited-map/blob/master/inc/layer-tiger.xml.inc
    --
    (case when osm_uid = '7168' -- DaveHansenTiger
                and osm_timestamp::timestamp >= '2007-08-03'::timestamp
                and osm_timestamp::timestamp <= '2008-05-04'::timestamp
              then 0
          when osm_uid = '15169' -- Milenko
                and osm_timestamp::timestamp >= '2007-10-29'::timestamp
                and osm_timestamp::timestamp <= '2007-12-12'::timestamp
              then 0
          when osm_uid = '20587' -- balrog-kun
                and osm_timestamp::timestamp >= '2010-03-21'::timestamp
                and osm_timestamp::timestamp <= '2010-04-08'::timestamp
                and osm_version::int < 3 -- maybe someone else edited between import and name expansion
              then 0
          else 1 end) as is_touched

Number of distinct users who've edited in a given area would also be a useful metric, though incomplete without reference to the full history file.

These are first steps and there are still some math problems to iron out, expect an update next week.

The goal is to create a slippy map from zoom level 2 to 15(?) such that it's easy to find the places in need of the most love.

The plan to run the analysis against a 5x5 km grid, although we will probably play with the size of the gridcell. Another option might be to conduct the analysis and varying levels of granularity.
