National Trust - Managing a Path inventory in OSM: Towards an Open Paths standard in OSM for the UK
The talk describes the use of OSM as part of an asset management process using a crowd of National Trust staff, volunteers and the public to maintain an network inventory of an estimated 20,000 km of paths (both Public Rights of Way and permissive paths). The process pro-actively notifies local staff of changes to enable on-ground validation. The process required the definition, and consistent application of, a UK standard for path tagging.
