Constructions in progress in OpenStreetMap

Daily extract of constructions in metropolitan France present in the OpenStreetMap (OSM) open and collaborative database [1].

The layer is available in MAGOSM
— accessible via public WMS and WFS services
— viewable, searchable and downloadable via the portal

— analysable over the last 30 days via the Change Tracking Portal

Data model
The OSM attributes used to filter the data are:

• construction=VALUE + KEY=construction — in the evolution logic of OSM objects common life cycle [2]
• construction: KEY=VALUE — in the evolution logic of OSM objects life cycle prefix [3]

The metadata of the layer of two attributes named ‘const_key’ and ‘const_value’ are variables created in order to retrieve keys and values in objects tagged with prefixes [3] EX:the construction:aerialway=gondola tag will return const_key = ‘aerialway’ as key and const_value = ‘gondola’ as value (without retaining the prefix).

We find in the layer all the objects concerned whether they are mapped in the form of a node, path or relationship in OSM.For polygons and multi-polygons, the geometry provided corresponds to the centroid, the original geometry is available in EWKT format via the attribute ‘osm_original_geom’ and the original type in a column ‘osm_type’.

Additional OSM attributes have been selected to enrich the main tags.
All attributes prefixed by “osm” (e.g.
osm_user, osm_id...) are common properties similar to meta-data on the OSM object.

More information about:

• the different life cycle concepts in OSM on the OSM Wiki page — EN: Comparison of life cycle concepts [2]

• the data model specific to the use of prefixes on the Wiki page OSM — FR:Prefix life cycle [3].

• the construction-specific data model on the Wiki page OSM — FR:Key:construction[4].

• the general OSM data model is documented on the OSM Wiki page — Map Elements [5].

• the modes and frequencies of use and combination of different attributes within the OSM community on the TagInfo France service [6]
