This Python project translates objects from the Overture maps schema to the OpenStreetMap (OSM) tagging scheme. The goal is to provide a seamless way to convert map data from Overture's format to a format that can be utilized within the OSM ecosystem. The package currently only supports Overture's places
, buildings
, and addresses
layers. You can improve the Overture categorization that this package uses for the places
layer by editing the Overture categories page on the OSM Wiki or submitting a pull request to the tags.json file.
There is also a Pydantic model for the transportation
layer's segment
object via overturetoosm.segments.SegmentProperties
, but the conversion to OSM tags is not yet supported because of the Overture schema's complexity.
The package also allows you to use the module directly from the command line.
With the overturemaps
Python package installed, you can download and convert
Overture data to OSM in two lines of code.
$ python -m overturemaps download --bbox=-71.068,42.353,-71.058,42.363 \\
-f geojson --type=place -o boston.geojson
$ python -m overturetoosm place -i boston.geojson --in-place --confidence 0.9
Note
Use of this package does not absolve you from following OSM's import guidelines.
- Translate Overture map places to OSM tags.
- Handle various map object types, including buildings and points of interest.
- Ensure compatibility with OSM data structures and conventions.
This package is meant to work with GeoJSON files containing Overture maps data, including those produced by the overturemaps Python package.
pip install overturetoosm
You will probably for the most part be handling features from a GeoJSON or other file, but for demonstration purposes I'll define it inline:
>>> import overturetoosm
>>> overture = {
"id": "123",
"version": 1,
"update_time": "2022-01-01T00:00:00Z",
"sources": [
{
"property": "property1",
"dataset": "dataset1",
"confidence": 0.8,
}
],
"names": {
"primary": "Primary Name",
},
"categories": {"main": "restaurant"},
"confidence": 0.8,
"addresses": [
{
"freeform": "123 E Main Blvd",
"locality": "City",
"postcode": "12345",
"region": "CA",
"country": "US",
}
],
}
>>> output = overturetoosm.process_place(overture)
{
"name": "Primary Name",
"addr:street_address": "123 E Main Blvd",
"addr:city": "City",
"addr:postcode": "12345",
"addr:state": "CA",
"addr:country": "US",
"source": "dataset1 via overturetoosm",
"amenity": "restaurant",
}
Note that the addr:street_address
tag is not suitable for import into OSM, and thus will have to be parsed further. If you are working on places
in the US, you can automatically parse the addr:street_address
tag using the atlus package, a separate project I've worked on.
>>> import atlus
>>> atlus.get_address(output["addr:street_address"])[0]
{"addr:housenumber": "123", "addr:street": "East Main Boulevard"}
