found something interesting in the field of health related amenities
see the heigit-article:
Exploring OSM history: the example of health related amenities
Exploring how OpenStreetMap data developed over time across different administrative units might reveal interesting insights into the self organizing approach of the OSM communities and can potentially be used to derive intrinsic data quality indicators. It might even be possible to estimate the completeness of OSM for a specific key-value combination as done by Barrington-Leigh & Millard-Ball (2017) for the road network.
Here we want to investigate the development of health related amenities across countries. The focus of the post will be on exploration of the data to highlight a few interesting patterns. A scientific rigorous analysis is not the aim of the post but will follow in a dedicated scientific journal.
and
conclusion:
The development of health related amenities captures interweaved phenomena: the tagging of real world phenomena, changes in tagging conventions, external events that trigger mapping activities (such as earthquakes or tsunamis) as well as mass imports. In addition, real world phenomena change over time: health related amenities might be created or be taken out of use (e.g. in Germany). To understand differences between countries it is also helpful to look at local tagging guidelines – amenity=clinic is for example defined differently in Spain and Germany. Differences in the health systems are of course of importance as well. In Spain for example ambulant clinics are much more common than in Germany.
see the results: they are different -
[out:csv(::id,::type,"name","addr:postcode","addr:city",
"addr:street","addr:housenumber","website"," contact:email=*")][timeout:50];
area["ISO3166-1"="ES"]->.a;
( node(area.a)[amenity=clinic];
way(area.a)[amenity=clinic];
rel(area.a)[amenity=clinic];);
out;
and the folloiwng
[out:csv(::id,::type,"name","addr:postcode","addr:city",
"addr:street","addr:housenumber","website"," contact:email=*")][timeout:50];
area["ISO3166-1"="ES"]->.a;
( node(area.a)[amenity=hospital];
way(area.a)[amenity=hospital];
rel(area.a)[amenity=hospital];);
out;
well see the results: they are different - what does this mean.
