FAQ

General questions

  1. Is the permission letter from DPWH sufficient in form and substance to make the dataset compatible with OSM?
  2. Is it acceptable to combine is_in values from BRGY + MUN for this challenge?
  3. Is there a more suitable option than MapRoulette for hosting this challenge?
  4. To complete sub-national bridges, do we have region- or province-level LGU contacts to request a similar dataset for their geographic area?
  5. Is there any risk of data quality degradation of current OSM data? If so, how can they be mitigated?
  6. Are you aware of any other DPWH dataset that might be interesting to add to OSM?

  • For a road name like "Mindoro Oriental/Occidental East Coastal Rd” is this two road names? I.e. Mindoro Oriental Rd & Occidental East Coastal Rd?

    It looks like a road named after two provinces, probably close to their boundaries. Will look into this closely. [name=erwin]

  • Looks like there may be some proposed expressways in the dataset. We’ll want to be careful how that information is added or if its added quite yet.

    I didn't see this in the dataset. Will check again [name=erwin]

  • Also, if bridge name is added, we’ll want to make sure it’s going in the unique bridge name tag. Its not a super common tag so I'm not sure if you are aware of it or not. (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:bridge#Naming)

    That wiki page/section doesn't mention any requirement for bridge names having to be "unique", or did I misunderstand the q? [name=erwin]
