Exploring Data Model Relations in OpenStreetMap

Abstract: Abstract:The OpenStreetMap (OSM) geographic data model has three principal object types: nodes (points), ways (polygons and polylines), and relations (logical grouping of all three object types to express real-world geographical relationships). While there has been very significant analysis of OSM over the past decade or so, very little research attention has been given to OSM relations. In this paper, we provide an exploratory overview of relations in OSM for four European cities. In this exploration, we unde… Show more

“…This was reported to occur in OSM and its effect on completeness was assessed for the case of road data in the U.S. [45]. Bulk imports were also raised as a possible reason for similar distributions in tags for OSM relations between cities [71]. However, the impact of POI bulk imports on positional and thematic accuracy is less understood and could be an area of future work.…”

“…These crowdsourced addresses can be collected by users on site and at the street level using a mobile device with a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) sensor or by carrying out digitalization using a map platform such as JOSM. OSM address data, such as house numbers, are collected by users and can be geometrically associated ("node") with any geographic feature and establish relationships with another element [55]. The semantic component of the address can then be linked to the geographic position in front of an entrance or at the top of a building, and some studies analyze the quality relation of crowdsourced information.…”
