Cleaning up of kosovo

Posted by h4ck3rm1k3 on 31 July 2009 in English.

This is a diary entry for humans :)

1. imported the gns names and features for kosovo.
2. expanded the borders of kosovo to include all these features. Checked the border points like mountains, cities and rivers against other reference material. The existing administration borders in osm were too small. Or the points are wrong.
3. Started to merge duplicate nodes. Marked the following gns features for example :

Churches:
Often named "Manastir" like monastary.
eg: osm.org/browse/node/448739003

GSN pattern :
gnfeature = S && gnfeaturec = CH
Implies OSM Feature : ->
amenity = place_of_worship

Springs, Streams and rivers :
these are points. I have marked many wrongly streams as springs. This is better than nothing.

Naming pattern :
Reka means stream in serbian, Lhume in albanian.

gnfeature = H && gnfeaturec = STM
implies : OSM pattern ->
natural = spring

Peaks, Ridges, Mountains :

Mountains:
A mountain is not a peak, but a range.
Kosovo is full of mountains. I have also listed them as peaks, or have removed the hamlet status.
osm.org/browse/node/448561842

gnfeature = T && gnfeaturec = MT
implies : OSM pattern ->
natural = peak

Ridge:
osm.org/browse/node/448709148
GNS Pattern : gnfeature = T && gnfeaturec = RDGE
implies : OSM pattern ->
natural = peak
Now peak is wrong, but better than nothing.

Localities :
osm.org/browse/node/448739000

gnfeature = L && gnfeaturec = LCTY
implies : OSM pattern ->
place = locality

Ideally, I will write some scripts to clean this up.
