Some people dream in code.
I had a dream about a JOSM servlet for java.
it would be for the start a way to run the validator on a web service.
I would start by just getting rid of the gui and having some basic table views of the data.

If you want JOSM, just go to minsk :

from russia with love :
RT: phurl: http://theageoflove.ru/josm.exe my JOSM WAREZ MEGAPACK

Komzpa made a josm megapack for the russian warz mafia.
if you dont distribute open source like this, no one will like it.

So my idea is to use google counts for ranking the street names
there are many streets in pristina , and we should rank them!

Rr. Rexhep Luci: 743
Rr. Hajdar Dushi: 439
Rruge Hajdar Dushi: 1,140
rr 2 Korriku: 2,040
rr agim ramadani: 5,740
rr nene tereza: 7,590

This would be good project for OSM in general.
We could look for streets with the highest or lowest rankings.
Also alternative spellings.

I had this idea while working on the osm.
The original idea was a semantic web osm interface that I wrote about before.
it is an xslt. But my idea is to place the filtering in a proxy server.
like greasemonkey for firefox, but server side.

Here are the related ideas from a chat:

how about a semantic web proxy
that you would use as the proxy server forall your web apps
but would allow for a semantic markup of all the data that passes
grddl, scraping etc
you could feed into it more data about whay you are doing
I mean a proxy server/firewall is used to serve webpages
it gets addresses and supplies data
all the browsers and webapps can be configured to one

so, if I want to make a semantic web extractor for faceboox , for example
I could do that on the proxy server
it would see that someone got a facebook page
and call the right scraper function to extract the data from it
it could even add this data into the html (rdf in html)
or add in java script funtions to display it etc

squid for example it a commonly used program

.wik proxy server
"In computer networks, a proxy server is a server (a computer system or an application program) that acts as a go-between for requests from clients seeking resources from other servers." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_server
.wik proxy server squid
"Squid is a proxy server and web cache daemon." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squid_(software)
so an rdf proxy server that does griddle and other nice things

I mean use squid, and add in filters

the client would choose to use it
for example. if i want to get the facebook data in foaf
I can use the hypothetical facebook foaf filter
for the proxy server and then just go to the facebook page
and some scripts can be activated on the squid server

More to come.

let me know if you have any questions

remove all the referenced nodes from kosovo:
grep ref kosova.osm | cut -d\' -f2| sort -u | grep -e [0-9]> reffed.txt

get all the deleted from my file :
grep delete test2.osm > deletes.osm

now try and run this for one hour:
grep -v -f reffed.txt deletes.osm > unreffed.osm

ok that took too long, write a perl script :
perl removereffed.pl reffed.txt deletes.osm > noreffed.osm

add the header and footer (xml) to the file
cat headerks.psm noreffed.osm footerks.osm > todo.osm

here is the perl script :
UPDATE: moved code out to :

Iván Sánchez Ortega writes to me :
From the data I gathered from the .pdf you linked, it seems that this cs2cs
command line should be able to do the proper reprojection from KOSOVOREF1 to
WGS84:

cs2cs +ellps=GRS80 +units=m +proj=tmerc +k=0.9999 +lon_0=21 +lat_0=0 +y_0=0
+x_0=7500000 +to +init=epsg:4326

If you delve into the documentation of proj.4 and its utilities (cs2cs,
ogr2ogr, etc) you should be able to batch reproject any files you want; or
you can mail me the files and I'll reproject them for you.

I'm not an expert in projection systems, so that cs2cs command line should be
reviewed by the authors of the .pdfs you linked to, in order to get some
reassurance about it.

Cheers,

Ok. My large merge of all kosovo points is running.

I have made a perl script, and of course it is checked in to bzr on launchpad, that will parse the xml node points into a multidimensional hash structure.

It is keyed by lat,long and then the keys and values

like this
$node_data{"$lat,$long"}{$keyname}=$value;

the values of the node headers are stored verbatim.
$node_data{"$lat,$long"}{"node_decl"}="xml of node header"

If i have a node header already, I append the rest to the "decldel" to be deleted.
so we have only one node per x,y coordinate.

I mean, lets say you have a spring and a town, what are the chances of the spring being in the same location of the middle of the town?

In anycase, the data is uploading.

We now have perl scripts to process all the datapoints from GSN and could add them in for other countries as well.

I still have problems with points like
farms, bridges, sheepfold and others, they need to be ways...

I wrote about OSM on couchsurfing :
http://www.couchsurfing.org/group_read.html?gid=8608&post=3510507

This guy is using osm for spamming :
osm.org/user/antik-ankauf-alles/diary/7342

Wow, here is the map of

Mitrovica

http://kosova.org/docs/pdf-documents/city/11.pdf

LEPOSAVIC

http://kosova.org/docs/pdf-documents/city/12.pdf

What the bot should do :

1.where is " Placename"
2. what is near : name
3. alternative names for : name
4. coordinates convert :
5. display changeset status
6. add tags to existing node (at least produce the change xml for uploading yourself)
7. Be able to add tags, webpages and stuff to positions.
like : Wikipedia link town Prizren (link the wikipedia article to town of same name)
like : www.komuna-prizreni.org/ to Place Prizren

Here is some code:

Here is an rdf bot:

Hi,

I found some coordinates here, the official ones of kosovo , but they are not in standard format.
I know there must be a way to do this :

1. can you help me transform them?
2. can someone do this?

Transformation of the ETRS89 coordinates into the new Gauss-Krüger coordinate
system using program GEOREF. (File PROJNEU.PRN)

today I got my script running to convert features from gns format into osm format.

Now, I have all the train stations!
I added in the lines (straight) between them
and now we have the train network!
osm.org/browse/changeset/2000382
wow.
i am very happy today!

so i decided to just hack it in perl.
no need for the semantic web to hack xml.
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/%7Ekosova/%2Bjunk/openstreetmapkosova/revision/29

here is the output

nice. now i can clean up kosovo with perl.
