What and Why:
A tool that places extracts of OpenStreetMap data onto HDX at set intervals.
...
The OSM2HDX tool is an extension to the HOT Export Tool, and was built by HOT for HDX in early 2017.
Architecture
Note that the resources for each dataset live on the HOT servers.
Access
Currently the Admin UI sits on the HOT staging server: http://exports-staging.hotosm.org/en/hdx/#/
...
The administration interface of the tool is here: http://exports-staging.hotosm.org/en/admin/login and is accessible by users flagged as "staff" in the user list. Note that you need to log in to the main Admin UI first, then go to the administration link.
Conventions
- The default feature selection YAML that is automatically populated is not currently correct. It includes admin boundaries and does not include some tags. Please replace it with this one: Default Feature Selection YAML for OSM2HDX
- All four output formats should be selected.
- Dataset prefix (URL slug) should be
hotosm-[iso3 code or region name]
. An additional slug for the theme (roads, waterways, etc) will be automatically appended. Output example: hotosm-sen-roads - Dataset name (Title as seen on the dataset page) should be
HOTOSM [short version of country or region name]
. An additional slug for the theme (roads, waterways, etc) and "(OpenStreetMap Export)" will be automatically appended. Output example: HOTOSM Senegal Roads (OpenStreetMap Export)
