Help fixing some Integer values on golf related tags

Communities United Kingdom

1

Hi! I´m developing a golf-centric vector schema and style over at github.com/HuggeK/golfTiles. I used the united-kingdom export from geofabrik and did some filtering using osmium.

When I then parse in the proccess.lua for tilemaker some ref= and other tags that should be integers exlusively contains other charachters. So instead of just throwing away that I have already computed I will try to log it into some file which someone can consume into an editor to step through all the objects(it will just be three lists of all the flagged ID´s of the nodes, ways and relation) In the meanwhile here´s the output from my proccesing if someone wants to parse it:

This can maybe be more effecticly done doing some evalution directly in a Overpass query, enlighten me if that would be possible.

Looks like you could build some QA to handle the unexpected dist key values.

Particularly, “yd”, “yds”, “Yards”, “yards” are all imperial units of measure equal to 0.9144 meters.

Although the dist documentation does specify the value should be in meters, “yd” is an understood unit of distance in OSM.

I guess it’s your choice as to whether you report the values in yards (which is probably what they are actually measured in) or convert to meters for compatibility but note this may lead to excessive precision.

I also just had a random look at this particular way and I can see why the mapper has tagged it this way. The course reuses holes 1-9 for the 18 hole course. So hole 10 is, in fact, the same as hole 1. Though it looks like some have small differences (e.g., hole 3 and hole 12 where the “12th tee is some 50 yards to the left of the 3rd”).

I have no opinion if it is yards or meters, but if someone is using yards on the dist key and not meter as it is documented as in the wiki they need to signal this true some other mechanism so I as a data consumer can detect this and actually use the data for distance measurements/display. Having it in the tag itself is not that great becuase there are like so many ways you could write yd, yds Yards, yards etc as you have seen.

In regards to your second post, It has been a recuring problem how we represent multiple courses with holes that overlap, both physicaly on the ground both also logical where golf=holes is contained in multiple courses. In the couple of days that have passerd I have consildated previous discssions on the matter in the wiki and the best way to represent courses would be using a route=golf relation, see Tag:leisure=golf_course#Courses in a facility and Tag:route=golf - OpenStreetMap Wiki - having an object (the realtion) to put tags on simplifies our taging and it will be possible for data consumers to generate and query data that can be understood. Having course info on the leisure=golf_course is also unwise, hard for data consumers that they now need to query the data many times to figure out which golf=holes is in a particular boundary, and that would also just work when the course have just one course.

But we can all agree that it is not meant to be documented in the ref= tag. Then we get into tags that descibe multiple phenomena and that could be bad pratice, better to actually use other tags and objects as mentioned above. see Multiple values - OpenStreetMap Wiki.

It is absolutely possible to write lua code that will detect sensible values in OSM data. Here is an example for trees; in that file you’ll see something similar for road and path widths, and you could do something for golf hole lengths. That example is actually used both from Tilemaker and when populating an old-school osm2pgsql database.

With volunteer-contributed data you don’t get to do QA on data before it is added to OSM, but you can do that afterwards.

I know that there are no QA gurantees; I’m detecting sensible values in: golfTiles/custom-tilemaker/process.lua at main · HuggeK/golfTiles · GitHub. That is what I have done. This community forum post was that I have these value that can be improved: I’m just dropping it here if someone in the uk wants to take a look at the ID’s and fix the data.

But I think the point was that “100 yd” is perfectly valid data and presumably what is signed.

I agree it would be best to clean up “yds”, “Yards” etc., but realistically this will be a never-ending task, and probably best left to validators (I would be surprised if JOSM, for example, didn’t highlight non-standard units).

If you wanted to, you could have a go at parsing the values with e.g. “yd” in them (search taginfo for “y”). However, given that the most common example worldwide is 538␣yards and there are only 3 of them I can understand why you might not.

Any chance you can re-run your processing? The tagging situation should have improved meanwhile

Exactly. Assuming no objections, I’ll update the Wiki to reflect this so that data consumers are aware that they will need to handle yd as a unit too.

I agree, particularly valuable to clarify and document as “yards” is such a comment distance measure in the golf scene.
