The goal of this effort is to improve the quality and detail of addresses and buildings in Edmonds, WA. Additional the City of Edmonds plans to use OSM basemaps in some of their apps.

Schedule

  • Community Interest: Invite local community members to be involved with the import
  • Import: Import Edmonds, WA buildings outlines and address points with new and existing local community members

Import Data

Data Files

Edmonds provided its information as shapefile in Washington State Plane North. The data is considered to be in the public domain according to Washington State RCWs. additional the City of Edmonds has no restrictions on its use in OSM.

Import Type

This is an OSM Washington community-based, one-time import.

There are currently no plans to script or automate this import.

Data Preparation

Tagging Plans

No source tags will be added.

Changeset Tags

Need to learn more about how to use these in order to make sure we set things up properly.

Tag in import-related changesets: import=Edmonds, WA GIS

Data Transformation

The source files will need to be converted to OSM XML. Code is available on Edmonds Scripts and Data

The Counties address database includes the building type. The following county building types will be converted to appropriate OSM tags.

Data Transformation Results

Output OSM XML files can be reviewed here:

Data Merge Workflow

Existing will be first inspected to determine which is the best data to keep then either the old object will be merged with the newer object or if the older outline is better than the new outline, the old outline will be kept and tags updated with any missing address and building information.

Team Approach

The work for this effort will be divided up into sections, with each section constituting a voting district. Voting district data have been loaded into US Tasking Manager.

References

Using the JSOM, each volunteer will begin to work through the data for that district.

  • Local knowledge
  • Bing aerial layer
  • Existing OSM data
  • Address data import

Workflow

  • Click on the task tab above and claim a task on the map to the right by clicking on an area you'd like to work in
  • Click the "JOSM" button, this will open the area in JOSM and load up existing OSM data
  • Click the ".osm" button, this will open new address data in a separate layer
  • Select the new addresses layer and validate the layer, fix all issues (more in Tips & Tricks below)
  • Copy all geometry from addresses layer and paste it into the existing OSM data layer.
  • Run validation on the existing OSM data layer that now contains new data, resolve all issues emanating from collisions between existing and new data (see merge rules).
  • Do a sanity check on data: Do addresses correspond to adjacent roads? (more on imagery below)
  • Merge with existing address data. Use the JOSM "m" key to merge nodes. Check for addresses in POI and merge to new address data.
  • To merge with a building outline, use the Replace Geometry (Ctrl+Sift+G) by selection the existing building outline and the new address node. Note: Only merge building outline with an address node if the building outline contains just one address node.
  • Upload data to OSM
  • Go back to the Tasking Manager and mark the task as done (but not as validated)

Importer Quality Checks

The accepting tasks from the Tasking Manager should fix the following issues when importing addresses to help insure a high quality import:

  • Street addresses match nearby street name. If the addr:street does not match the street, verify the OSM tag against the latest TIGER road overlay. If there is no match the district should be skipped. Notify Clifford Snow of discrepancy. Additionally, add a note asking for a verification of street names.
  • Look for duplicate addresses. Check POI for address tags. Often POI's are added with incomplete addresses. Merge the imported address with the POI.
  • If a single address is inside of a building outline, merge the two. Leave multiple addresses inside building outlines as individual nodes.
  • Attempt to clean up misaligned roads by using the Bing background image as well as the "New & Misaligned TIGER Roads (TIGER 2013)"

Conflation Tools

Since the JOSM Conflation plugin is still broken, users will manually conflate address points

Known Dataset Conflation Issues

Local knowledge Issue: this is a great opportunity to infuse a lot of richness into Edmonds OSM data.

Approach: volunteers will be asked to add information they know along the way. For example: if you know the corner address for a building is a coffeeshop, add that information while you're buzzing about in the import.

Dedicated Import Account

Users will be expected to obtain an unique import account, for example, user FooBar might pick FooBar_Import.

QA

Validation

  • Pre-import training
  • Use of validation tools in the Tasking Manager process
  • Group activities and IRC for question answering during the import.
