I'm trying to extract POI data from openstreetmap. On a lot of forum Osmosis is mentioned. I could find it. But I lack a basic tutorial how to install it and run it. I read the wiki but I could not find any step-by-step tutorial. I always get error messages if I want to use it.
Can you help me?
The OSM wiki has an osmosis page and also several osmosis usage examples.
Please note that there are easier ways to extract POIs and other data from OSM, particularly Overpass API and the frontend overpass turbo.

I understand that most of the data in OSM for USA is coming from TIGER. It seems that this doesn't have complete road key attributes such as speed limit, maximum weight, allowed / restricted turns, lane change etc.
I found that some state level DOT do have public datasets available for the roads within their jurisdiction, however some states don't have that. I wonder if the OSM community knows if the data already available at these state DOT's was loaded in the OSM?
Please also let me know if there was a netter place to ask this question?
Many thanks,
It is stated in the OSM webpage as well as in other GIS blogs that OSM doesn't have much data on key attributes of roads ie truck restrictions, however some DOT do have data on that.
In OSM pages it wasn't clear if that data was loaded.
There's been an awful lot of discussion about data imports, especially within the USA, over the years. I suspect that if data is available and hasn't been imported into OSM it's for one of two reasons:
the quality isn't very good
the licence isn't compatible
The relevant OSM wiki page that explains what would someone suggesting a new import need to do is here. With regard to the "community buy-in" step, I'd suggest contacting the OSM USA community in the first instance via the forum, mailing list or OSM US' slack workspace.
I was wondering if it is allowed to download and use (i.e. I mean processing not just displaying) Microsoft Aerial imagery in research papers? Is there any reference clearly mentioning the use of these data for research purposes?
I believe this would fall under the print rights: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/maps/product/print-rights
Generally, using screenshots in research papers of an application with Bing Maps is not usually an issue. Just be sure the copyright information is clearly displayed.
There are ~50k articles which needs to be analyzed and a tag schema dictionary needs to be created post, which becomes the base for the Auto Tagging feature we plan to build for the site.
Are there any tools available to tag the data and help generate a list of kind of data available in the data-set.
If not then what would be a good place to start?
There is a data mining tool called Weka, You can try downloading it. There are many weka videos in youtube. You can also google it there is lot of information available.
Well there are few tools for data analysis and you can watch videos on youtube to learn one of them.
1) Weka, KNIME- if you are good in Java then you should go for it.
2)Orange, NLTK- if you are good in python then you can choose this.
3)R-programming- if you are good in C, then you can go for it.
I am trying to help witth rescue operations in Nepal.
I have setup a Google Form here and that information gets stored on a Google Sheet.
Now, I want to provide a map (OSM) that would autopopulate using data in the Google Sheet (there is a column with GPS coordinates.
Is this currently do-able? It would be ideal if I could provide an endpoint where various OSM maps could get the Google Sheet information from.
Thanks in advance.
You can use Leaflet or OpenLayers to place markers and popups on top of OSM maps. uMap might also be worth looking at.
Additionally there is also the Humanitarian OSM Team (HOT) doing various tasks for helping the Nepal rescue teams. The 2015 Nepal earthquake wiki contains an overview, guidelines and specific tasks. It might be useful to discuss your ideas with HOT.
In short, no. I've been in communication with Google about this. It's currently not a feature, and they have no plans to add this feature in the future.
And I, for one, desperately need such a feature! I'd imagine if thousands of us flooded Google with requests for this feature -- maybe they'd add it?
I am creating a LMS portal and planning to use adobe presenter as the online training quiz builder. After publishing the quiz (scorm 2004), I am not sure how to track the user's score. I already google it but could not find any working example. After searching google, I came to this point that I need javascript to track the score. But no luck yet.
If anyone knows, could you please help me in regards to this.
Thanks
Implementing a SCORM conformant LMS is a non-trivial task. Get started by reading up on it here and then dive into the technical parts. You will then want to download the official spec documents from ADL and read those.
