Hi Tim, Thank you for such a call.
I can't develop as much as I would since I'm really busy this month. Can you take care of this proposal please ? http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/ <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Telecom_local_loop> Proposed <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Telecom_local_loop>_ <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Telecom_local_loop> features <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Telecom_local_loop>/ <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Telecom_local_loop> Telecom <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Telecom_local_loop> _local_ <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Telecom_local_loop> loop <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Telecom_local_loop> It intends to setup a model for telecoms local loops using telecoms=* and man_made=street_cabinet You can also use street_cabinet=telecoms a lot to map connection points and mobile base stations. Finally, and regarding mobile telecom networks, there is this chart which try to illustrate components and relations to be made on a mobile station https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:Radio_antennas_mapping_proposal.png I'll be glad to help you a bit one of those days. All the best François Hi folks, I'm working on a project to map telecommunication features with the aim to better understand what "The Internet" means geographically and physically. I have started collating a number of the various telecoms features to http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Telecoms The categories of these features on that wiki page are: Cables Street Furniture Antennas / Masts / Towers Telephone Exchanges Internet / Telecoms Buildings Other And within the categories include well known and mapped features such as street cabinets (I've enjoyed the previous detailed discussion of this feature in particular!), submarine cables and data centres. There should be links to the main wiki pages discussing these tags there. It appears that the tagging of various telecom features has a fair few different tags in use. e.g. telecom=* and *=telecommunication and communication= and *=telecoms, telecommunications, telephone etc. I was reasonably surprised that, compared with other categories of features there hasn't been much discussion about these features as a whole and I think that could be a good thing! It's positive that some of these features have not been mapped as much as they occur outside as that give us some flexibility to look at how they should be tagged, and guide future mappers on how they might be better mapped... or am I being too optimistic? :-) I've populated the wikipage with taginfo counts of the various usages including some of the rarest ones that I have found. It doesn't really give that much useful information just yet...what should we add to make it better? Please feel free to dive in and edit and rearrange the wikiproject page, I'm certainly not a wiki expert. Are there more features we should add to this Wiki Project page? Should I add to the page the most common way they have been tagged, or, if discussion here is fruitful, the "best" way, or have recommendations for some common standard tags? Should we seek to standardise tags across the most common telecoms features? I was looking at the Power project and discussions, should discussion of features occur within a telecoms frame of reference, or does it basically depend on the number and types of users mapping them? Once the features are adequately documented, I seek to produce a JOSM and iD preset file for these features and will be producing transparent tilesets and data exports showing them within a dedicated website. I'll let you know once these two things have happened! thanks, Tim (chippy) _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
