User:Jmsbert

Hello, I am actively contributing to OSM since end of 2015. Since then I am using mostly JOSM, sometimes also StreetComplete. I am mapping almost all features in OSM, e.g.

• house numbers
• POIs (shops, restaurants, playground)
• details to highways (maxspeed, surface, lit, access restrictions)
• fire_hydrants, street_lamps
• bicycle relations
• draw contures of buildings, landuses, ...

I am also doing "remote mapping" by actively contributing to HOT (Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team) in the role of a HOT Global Validator and mapper.

As a very regular user of OSM Wiki I also try to improve the quality of the Wiki.

Import of bicycle relation data in administrative district "Landkreis Cloppenburg" planned for 2026

The administrative district "Landkreis Cloppenburg" (short LK CLP) has recently extended its bicycle node network and revised some of its theme routes. The network now consists of about 380 node points and about 1500 km of connection routes. The recent changes are not yet shown in OSM wherefore the adminstration wants to promote the integration by providing .geojson files for use in JOSM to simplify the process.

The license topic has been addressed with the administration of LK CLP. The statement of authorities received on 2026-09-14 via email is as follows

"Der Landkreise Cloppenburg hat keine Einwände, dass Geodaten, die teilweise aus unserem Datensatz abgeleitet sind, in die Geodatenbank des OpenStreetMap Projekts eingebaut und unter einer freien und offenen Lizenz veröffentlicht werden. Der Datensatz sollte frei von persönlichen Informationen sein. Sollten dennoch persönliche Informationen enthalten sein, dürfen diese nicht veröffentlicht werden."

Community integration

The planned import is discussed in the german community here https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/uberarbeitung-des-radknotennetzes-im-landkreis-cloppenburg/146973/6

Planned meta-information to be taken from the data set

Planned meta-information taken from the data set and transferred to OSM (in bold), combined with common tags that are already in common use in OSM

• "NKStr_ID=522300488" -> imported as "ref:LKCLP_NKStr_ID=522300488" to help later maintenance of the data
• "IntName=38 (Clp Emstek) -> 54 (Clp Emstek)" -> imported as "ref:LKCLP_IntName=38 (Clp Emstek) -> 54 (Clp Emstek)"
• Laenge=1863, set as distance=1.9
• fixme=resurvey recommended - data provided by LK CLP 2026-08
• cycle_network=Oldenburger Münsterland
• network=rcn
• network:type=node_network
• operator=Landkreis Cloppenburg
• ref=38-54 (based on the data from the data set)
• route=bicycle

Proposal algorithm to create and adapt node_network_routes

proposal "algorithm" of transfer the node_network routes from the .geojson file into JOSM

• open .geojson in JOSM
• zoom to a reagion where a bicycle route passes
• download OSM data into a new layer
• check if a route of the bicycle node_network is already present
  • if yes
    • use this route and correct the members and tagging as above
    • switching between the layers enables copying relevant data (see above) from the data set
    • if only small corrections were necessary the fixme may be omitted
    • upload data to OSM and mention "bicycle data provided by LK CLP in 2026-08" as data source
  • if no
    • create a new relation (ideally making a copy of another relation and cleaning up all member and adapting the tagging)
    • switching between the layers enables copying relevant data (see above) from the data set
    • add the members to the route by selecting the appropriate ways one-by-one keeping track of the course shown in the data set
    • check if there are any gaps in the route course and fix these
    • add the network nodes itself to the relation (above the route itself)
    • optional: add the guide_posts and way_markers to the relation (on the top-most)
    • set set correct tagging
    • upload data to OSM and mention "bicycle data provided by LK CLP in 2026-08" as data source
