I work as a GIS specialist at Helsinki Region Transport (HSL) (OSM-profile). See our organisation wiki for further information on how and why we work with OSM.

Projects
Here below is a list of OSM-projects (validation tools & data edits) I've been working on that aren't listed under the digitransit validation page. This list is as for now very much under construction.
Map
- Missing buildings. This map shows building in the National Land Survey data that aren't in OSM. Here are the same buildings as raw data. Note that this might contain so called false positives as OSM might already at some places be better up to date than NLS data.
- Entrances of apartment buildings. This script shows the buildings that are missing entrances ... https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1OgG
Improve
- Add missing building-types. Find missing building types with this script.
- Add missing addresses to residential and holiday buildings. Find missing building addresses with this script.
- Move address information from single address nodes to buildings wherever possible. Find single address node with this script.
- Add opening_hours=* to shops. This script shows where these are missing.
- Swedish names
- Add Swedish names to places. Find places that are missing Swedish name by looking at the Swedish basemap for Digitransit.
- English names
- Add English names to places. Find places that are missing English name by looking at the English basemap for Digitransit.
- Assist with local fixme-requests. Find the fixme-tagged objects with this script.
Fix
- school tagging
- amenity=school shouldn't be tagged on buildings. This script shows these tagging errors ... https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/XTN
- amenity=school should have a name. This script shows those that don't ... https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/XTO
- hospital tagging
- amenity=hospital shouldn't be tagged on buildings. This script shows these tagging errors ... https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/XTQ
- amenity=hospital should have a name. This script shows those that don't ... https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/XTR
Future project ideas
- Develop tools for analysing unconnected stops
- Check for missing names (eg. objects that have name:sv but no name or name:fi or vice versa)
- Ensure that there are no gaps between landuse areas ( eg. with this service)
- Check with city/municipality websites/data that all the schools amenity=school can be found in OSM
- Check with city/municipality websites/data that all the hospitals amenity=hospital can be found in OSM
- Avoid overlapping sport_centres by removing unessecary sports_centres within a sports_centre that can be classified as leisure=fitness_centre or building=sports_hall
Finished projects
- Manually check with city/municipality websites that all the relevant sports centre areas leisure=sports_centre can be found in OSM ♦ 17.11.2020
- Manually check with city/municipality websites or this one that all the relevant "climbing stairs" in the HSL-area can be found in OSM ♦ 17.11.2020 (some need local knowledge - these were raported as map notes)
Tools
Editing both with JOSM and ID. For mobile mapping I'm mainly using Organic maps, Every Door (GeoScribble) & StreetComplete. Also experimenting with MapComplete & OsmAnd-editors. HSL has also been using Mapillary to collect street view images to support OSM edits.
