API for analyzing and visualizing changes in OSM data | |
OWL (OpenStreetMap Watch List) was a service that monitors, processes and stores changes in OSM data. A major feature is that rather than calculate the bounding box of all changes in a changeset, OWL attaches changes to small tiles, which are more useful for visualization - it is possible to show only relevant changes, not all changes with overlapping bounding box.
Current status
- Beta version of OWL/OSM.org website integration (new History tab powered by OWL) is running on zark (go to the location in question and click on "History (beta)").
- OWL API server currently runs at https://owl.openstreetmap.org/.
Documentation
- API documentation - for coders who want to integrate with OWL
- Installation instructions - only for brave people!
- Hacking - for coders, may also help understand installation/administration
- Benchmarks - loose collection of notes on performance, storage etc.
