Tile Updates / Validating Data

Open ryan-foamspace opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

IPFS deduplicates tiles, so update efficiency would depend on how many tiles are changed.

How can tiles be hosted on IPFS but also maintain an up to date status? OSM is constantly changing, with new data, edits and corrections.

Great work here!!

@ryan-foamspace processing of OSM diffs would be required: http://planet.openstreetmap.org/ Much better to offer this data via a blockchain smart contract where a public hash could be used to establish a base layer location coordinates and then contextualize datasets over this base layer (identity or organization specific geofences) . I personally don't know enough about WGS-84 specification or the schedule of OSM diff updates but I there should be a flow to manage edits and data mutations but still allow for contractional obligations based on the semi-immutability of a location.

@ryan-foamspace for semi-permanent immutability using ipfs you could consider ipns https://ipfs.io/docs/examples/example-viewer/example#../ipns/readme.md
