Background

I joined the OSM community in July 2014 to see what OSM was all about. Didn't submit my first contribution until January 2016 though, inspired by the OSM Finland 2016 Meeting.

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.

Validation tools

• POIs
  • 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

Ongoing project(s)

• Move address information from single address nodes to buildings wherever possible. Find single address node with this script.

Project ideas

• Check with city/municipality websites that all the schools amenity=school can be found in OSM
• Check with city/municipality websites(?) 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
• Check the city service maps for ideas for data layers to be manually or automatically checked
• Check for missing names (eg. objects that have name:sv but no name or name:fi or vice versa)
• Develop tools for analysing unconnected stops
• Ensure that there are no gaps between landuse areas ( eg. with this service)

Done 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 & StreetComplete. HSL has also been using Mapillary to collect street view images to support OSM edits.
