Comment on Priceless? by olaf

Martijn, nice subject to think and publish about, especially the economic value of volunteerded data and what level of quality is good enough for the demand side.

A bit off-topic but I can see the similarities in the book I’m reading : Matt Mason’s ‘The pirate’s dilemma’. Explaining how youth and pirate culture drives innovation Matt discusses the sharing of information and at one moment writes “data is cheap (or free)” specialized data is expensive”
This might be the case for the not so good covered areas: specialized data for which some money could be asked.

Hi,

Good material, thanks. But there is a typo in your SQL statements, explaining why Mark had got an ERROR thrown. Each constraint should be named differently from the others (pid_key1, pid_key2 for example)

best regards

Comment on Importing the GML 3.2.1 namespace into .NET by Manchild

Ever consider using LINQ-To-XSD to generate said GML 3.2.1?
I’ve done it,and works great!
Only hurdle on the way was the fact that although each of the official OPENGIS schemas are ‘normative’ by themselves,but not they don’t add up to a ‘normative’ schemaCollection.
This misshap although well documented by the Consortium in the release docs,echoes into the compilation-process and of course … no API.
But I’ve found that the isssue lies in their use of ‘non-normative use of the xsd:include mechanism.
So I then just copied&pasted all 23 xsd’s content into 1 unfied xsd schema element,and ‘”fanny’s-y’r-uncle,’fanny’s-y’r-aunt” … she works fine.
enjoy!

This didn’t work for me. Changing the planet_osm_point table worked. Adding the column to planet_osm_line worked but adding the primary key gave the error:

ERROR: relation “pid_pkey” already exists

This same error was repeated for the rest of the tables. I’ve done a search on the error message but no results. Any ideas?

Comment on Gemeentegrenzen uit OpenStreetMap by Martijn van Exel

Da’s waar, maar dit zijn gegeneraliseerde grenzen, dat moet je je wel realiseren. Ook de wijk- en buurtgrenzen zijn gegeneraliseerd. Voor eenvoudige visualisatie prima, maar voor specialistisch gebruik waarschijnlijk onvoldoende nauwkeurig.

De gemeente contouren zijn ook te downloaden op de site van het CBS.
Deze is in shape files, wat makkelijker te verwerken is.
Ook buurt en wijk zijn aanwezig.

At least you can add your home access point. http://dawsdesign.com/drupal/ipod_touch_location_coverage

Hi,
I’m working on the Wiki page GeoBase Import, and working with the discussion group on how we are to go about Importing tonnes of the Free government data onto the OpenStreeMap project.
I was just checking your site, as PostGIS and MySQL was mentioned in discussion.

Hopefully you will have some time to be able to help,
All help is appreciated.
