Hi all, there are a lot of info or thread dedicated to the usage of OSM with database and so on but I wasn't able to figure out if I can do what I have in mind for mi site. I want to build section on my site to reviews POI focused on my town so I want to have a map where I can extract data of the POI already on OSM but at the seme time let the user to add more information on the POI already existing or adding a new one. All info will be stored on my database so that when some one will search for a POI on my site it will show a dedicated page to that POI but also its position on the map. Thanks in advance to everyone that will helping me to point in the right direction. |

(First, welcome, great that you want to use OSM! Second, I suggest to get a bit involved and just try to put your favourite restaurant on the map (if not already existing) or similar simple POI stuff. Do not use other maps for your edits, but only your personal real-world observation.) See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Develop (mostly the right box "Using OpenStreetMap for Development"). You can do nearly everything with OSM, because our data is free. Displaying a slippy map with POI markers is quite easy with leaflet (also used on osm.org) or openlayers. Regarding pulling POI out of OSM you can have a look at other projects, e.g. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OpenStreetBrowser or https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Wheelmap (their code is free software, so you can look at / use it). If you want to let your users add new info to the POIs it gets a bit tricky:
Thanks for your answer!I apologies for the timing but other problems keep me away from this project. I will read all your useful suggestion. Can I ask you just which is your opinion on the database that I should use to store the one-time import of relevant POIs and let user to add yours? FYI I already use mysql for all other data. Thanks in advance

When you start combining POIs from OSM with your own POIs, you have to make sure you do not violate our license, see e.g. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/License/Use_Cases#Case_4:_I_want_to_publish_something_based_on_OSM_and_some_data_I_obtained_elswhere

Ok thanks to point this license question, from what I read (and hopefully understood) is that: 1)I have to credit OSM for the data that I will use (and this was never under discussion), than if I use for example phone numbers of POIs from OSM data and than use my data when OSM data will be missing, I'm doing a derivative database and for this reason I have to share the data. The question at this point is...how? I mean, I have to share only if someone asks me or I have to add by hand all the new data as a normal user or I have to send the database to someone? 2)If I create in my database a POI that is not present at all in OSM data (so I will not use any data but only place it on the map) will this be considered a "collective" database? Thanks in advance
