Guidelines
Ugandan Offsets Guideline
Activity/Project title: Ugandan Offsets Guideline for -Calibration of layers & images-
initiated and administered by Uganda OSM Guidelines & Training Workgroup, Bert Araali (on osm)
Status: - Started: 26/03/2021
Details: WikiProject Uganda - Conventions: Offsets
1. What do we have, general State of the Map UG, is the data consistent ? --26-03-2021--Bert Araali (on osm)
2. Assign proposal writer team: --02-04-2021--Bert Araali (on osm)
3. Which Global Guidelines do we have, what are their caveats, can we use them in UG ? --02-04-2021--Bert Araali (on osm)
- Installation of JOSM plugin and use of the Imagery Offset Database & Imagery Offset Database QuickStart;
4. Identify the gaps, both for general, detailed as micro-mapping. --02-04-2021--Bert Araali (on osm)
- Manual offsetting with on the ground truth (roads, building footprints) when using iD editor or missing Imagery Offset Database points. Bing is NOT the gold standard for offsets, only ground truth shall be regarded as standard (GPS) according to Global OSM guidelines;
- Ronald (Ebong C137 on osm) asked how to offset and calibrate custom aerial imagery. Bert Araali (on osm) referred to PicLayer JOSM plugin and Rectified Image JOSM Plugin.
5. Prepare training and info materials for a workshop on the category, concerning existing mapping and standard OSM mapping.
- See MoM 02-04-2021: [1]
6. Identify local data sources and their reliability - where do we get more data to support our mappers.
- Joyce (JOYCE MARY on osm) offered to supply Land surveyor calibration points in Excel. Bert Araali (on osm) will investigate if they can be used in OSM.
- New calibration points can be established using alignment with GPS tracks (field data), Mapillary, OpenStreetCam/Kartaview and Strava. Help on request by experienced mappers (Workgroup), MapUganda or HOTOSM project managers.
Ugandan Highways (Roads) Guideline
Activity/Project title: Ugandan Highways Guideline for -Roads, tracks and paths-
initiated and administered by Uganda OSM Guidelines & Training Workgroup, Bert Araali (on osm)
Status: - Started: 26/03/2021
Details: WikiProject Uganda - Conventions: Highways
1. What do we have, general State of the Map UG, is the data consistent ? --26-03-2021--Bert Araali (on osm)
- Detailed statistics (per highway=*) must given on the Guideline Proposal page. See Highway stats
2. Assign proposal writer team: --26-03-2021--Bert Araali (on osm)
3. Which Global Guidelines do we have, what are their caveats, can we use them in UG ? --02-04-2021--Bert Araali (on osm)
- Confusion exist with East-Africa Tagging Guidelines which was an attempt to link UNRA classification to Highway Tag Africa.
- There is no managerial classification in OSM at this time.
- There is no clear definition to link highway=* (global as well as local) to different classification systems: socio-economic vs. throughput/physical vs. management.
- Classification scheme applied in UG is Highway Tag Africa. Is improvement of Global tagging scheme highway=* but still is incomplete and contains ambiguities.
Ugandan Traffic Signs Guideline
Activity/Project title: Ugandan Traffic Signs Guideline for -Traffic signs along roads-
initiated and administered by Uganda OSM Guidelines & Training Workgroup, Bert Araali (on osm)
Status: - Started: 03/07/2017

2. Assign proposal writer team: --03-07-2017--Bert Araali (on osm)
3. Which Global Guidelines do we have, what are their caveats, can we use them in UG ? --05-07-2017--Bert Araali (on osm)
- Based on standard traffic_sign and Proposed features/Extended traffic signs tagging;
4. Identify the gaps, both for general, detailed as micro-mapping. --05-07-2021--Bert Araali (on osm)
- Needs localised tag traffic_sign=UG:ID.
- Images (.jpg and .svg) to be made and uploaded to WikiMedia Commons.
5. Prepare training and info materials for a workshop on the category, concerning existing mapping and standard OSM mapping.
6. Identify local data sources and their reliability - where do we get more data to support our mappers. --05-07-2017--Bert Araali (on osm)
- The ID's are traffic ID national codes determined by the Ministry of Works and Transport, listed in The Highway Code pdf.
7. Make a proposal for a local UG guideline. --05-07-2017--Bert Araali (on osm)
