[Openstreetmap] mapserver experiments with OSM data

[Jo Walsh]

hello

i've been playing around with the OSM street segments and mapserver
WFS/WMS stuff...  e.g.

http://map.wirelesslondon.info/map/osm?center=51.52+-0.14&zoom=6
http://map.wirelesslondon.info/map/osm?center=59.93+10.75&zoom=6

the first is the london map, the second is the oslo one. both look
promising. this is a bit slow 'cos it's using the JPL landsat WMS for
the base layer outside of our false-colour London image.
this is also republishing the street segments via WFS:
http://map.wirelesslondon.info/map/wfs.cgi?service=WFS&request=GetCapabilities

this isn't a 'live' service, i just slurped the lines down with a
script.
http://scm.kforge.net/plugins/scmsvn/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/freemap/osm/?root=consumotronic
contains the interface utils i wrote. i'd like to do some simple
metadata reannotation once that bit of the API is more worked out. 
i wonder if there could be at least a restful way of referring to
things in your model, where node and segment UIDs correspond to
URIs... are the IDs likely to change; would you mind someone else, e.g
us, publishing such a scheme...?
