OSM Apps Catalog is a website that shows applications and services that use OSM data. The list of applications is taken from the OpenStreetMap Wiki and Taginfo project list.
How it works
All pages in the wiki that use a Software, Service item or Layer template are crawled and the information about the application is extracted and displayed for filtering and comparison.
How to document a new software
Step 1: Create a new wiki page for the item you wish to add to the table.
- In the URL bar in your browser type: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/New-Page (replace New-Page with an appropriate name).
- This should create a new page. Click "Create" in the upper right corner.
Step 2: Insert the Template.
- Click on "Insert" in the upper bar.
- Choose "Template".
- Search for "Software".
- Click on "Add".
Step 3: Edit the details.
- Now you can enter the specific details about the software.
- Enable on the left side the fields you want to document about the software. (Note that the fields are grouped into [categories].)
Step 4: Save your page.
- Before you finish, you may wish to add a few lines of text since the table data only displays a few items in a text box on the right of the page (the rest of the data is shown in the catalog).
- Click "Save Page", add a brief summary of your contribution, click "Save Page".
- Congratulations! You've just added a page and document a software.
How to export a comparison to wiki.openstreetmap.org
Step 1: Compare apps
- Go to osm-apps.zottelig.ch
- Set the filters how you like.
- Click on "Compare".
Step 2: Generate text/a table for the wiki.
- Click on the share icon next to the title of a category. (Only fields from this category will be exported. If an app does not support any feature of this category, it will be ignored.)
Step 3: Add to a page on wiki.openstreetmap.org
- Go to the wiki.openstreetmap.org page you want to add the comparison.
- Click on "Edit source".
- Paste the table in the clipboard where you want it.
- Add a Summary at the bottom of the page.
- Click on "Save changes".
- Yes! You published a app comparison in the wiki.
