All the Places #117

Open Cj-Malone opened 1 year ago

Cj-Malone commented 1 year ago

Just wondering if you've heard of All the Places? It looks like we do similar things. I've been contributing there for about 6 months, ever since I found out about it. I was doing similar things on my own before that.

We scape certain websites every week to collect the POIs. I've been trying to get this data used by the OSM community, but as you know copyrights/database rights make this hard. To be honest I have given up on requesting permission, and just focus on collecting the data. But maybe I need to learn from you guys and ask for permission more. There is a QA tool for a few brands, but I think we are wasting the data.

Any ideas on how we can collaborate?

In fact I offered a collaboration here: https://github.com/alltheplaces/alltheplaces/issues/1160 I am mainly collecting Hungarian POIs, of course I am really open to collaboration. I always try to get permission from data providers, and we usually have for mot of datasources. With this tool I try to scarpe, clean the data, load into a DB, match with OSM nodes/ways/relations, enrich data from OSM then provide JOSM compatible output file. If we can collaborate, that would be awesome. I can provide our datas sources (https://github.com/KAMI911/osm_poi_matchmaker/tree/py3_11/osm_poi_matchmaker/dataproviders), and permissions (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Hungary/Import%C3%A1l%C3%A1s)for your project, also it is interesting to enhance out tool with better I18n support.

It was very nice to hear from you and I happy to work together!

We only focus on scraping and normalising the data, we output new geojson files every week. (The output isn't completely OSM, eg we often have addr:street_address instead of better tags)

I would suggest we take over the scraping and normalising, and you concentrate on matching?

I've not had chance to set up MatchMaker yet, but I'll try to over the next few weeks. Hopefully I can help out.
