[OSM-talk] Subscribe to feeds of changes in your area with Changepipe

[Michal Migurski]

I didn't take it that way, Serge, but thank you.

To be honest I didn't really think about OWL and ITOWorld when writing this. I was just looking for a minimally useful thing that handled polygons smoothly and was fast to set up. I was motivated by the potential needs of US users like Learon Dalby, who spoke at the Atlanta SOTM-US about his need for a way to see changes in Arkansas so that he could notify county GIS managers about them and make appropriate corrections to government data. Administrative boundaries are large, irregular shapes, and OWL seemed to be focused on small urban areas (correct me if I'm wrong about this).

Mikel: I'm using Atom; can I just namespace GeoRSS into an Atom feed and have it work? Are bounding boxes for changesets the most useful thing, because I'm using node positions to calculate intersections.

-mike.
