The OSMplusplus importer
- name: represents the inc operator in loops=>massdata processing
Will start in April 2010
Skipped cause a lot of mappers say that this will result in much more imports that arent coordinated with the community, legal issues,...
idea
Build a highly modular importer that can deal with importing common dataformats. It has to be a new project cause:
- no freaky scripts, we need GUI
- small scripts will never have advanced features e.g. dublicate detection/merge, validation check,...
- current GIS doesn't speak OSM XML
- input dataformats and formating is very unregular
roadmap
0.1
- gui prototype
- save import preferences
0.2
- reading, representing CSV content
0.3
- alter,reassign content
0.4
- generate OSM
layers
input
- PointInput
- CSV File Input
- Wiki table Input
- PolygonInput
- Address input, when no coordinates are available but information that can be attached to buildings or POIs that already have address tags
filtering
altering
visualisation
output
- .osm file for uplaod to OSM
- bugtext upload to OpenStreetBugs for objects that can not be processed fully automatically.
upload
challenges
- reading CSV format
- good UI design via usecases
- reading GIS formats (SHP, DXF,...)
- transform geo coordinates/projection
- reassigning/transforming/add meta informations
- intelligent filtering (dublicates)
- intelligent semi-automatic syncronisations with existing OSM data
- split up in different parts (x boxes or depending on boundaries)
- deal with massdata especially splitting up uploads
- different character sets (latin alphabet, kyrillic alphabet,...)
- conflict resolving
