Dear contributors,
while the WMS of the milestones (slice 1) ought to be being developed, I decided to introduce you guys to slice 2. The proposal that I'm about to present is about the Dutch equivalent of Betriebsstelle: dienstregelingspunten. Freely translated, this means timetable-nodes. The English equivalent is the collection of yards, junctions, sidings and moveable bridges (note that yards and sidings are distinguished in the Dutch definition).
So, what exactly will that look like? One point per "station", that would match what we have as railway=station (or halt, or service_station)? For those elements the node is placed "in the center of the object", so I guess any coordinate you would give us would be fine.
You can consider the data as a collection of names for points of interest along the railway, which the operator uses to construct a smooth timetable. For more info on the subject, you could consult http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OpenRailwayMap/Tagging#Operating_Sites, where the tagging of these nodes is described. I already tested two locations:
• http://puu.sh/hExsV/47862d83d4.jpg shows an example of a cargo yard near Rotterdam. • http://puu.sh/hExu2/8f324e6bc0.jpg is a junction near Amersfoort.
My main question is: assuming that everything will be done in accordance with the import guidelines and ORM tagging scheme, would you agree on an automated import of these nodes?
I'm probably no authority, but for me this sounds as it is in accordance with our tagging scheme. I would suggest you show a small piece of (OSM) data on the import wiki page to make it easier to see if your new nodes are "sound".
