Have you considered making OSM itself the submission mechanism?
This could be as simple as having a static guide on how to add bookcases to OSM. Your app could also act as an OSM editor specifically for bookcases (not a general one).
- michaelt 2mo agoPresumably they hope to provide richer data (i.e. photograph of the library) that OSM isn't interested in.
- zaik 2mo agoOSM is interested in pictures, even of bookcases: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:image https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:image The only difficulty is data than can not be easily represented in key=value pairs, such as timetables for buses. But even this can be resolved by adding external references.
- phoronixrly 2mo agoThis is the correct approach.
- andreagrandi 2mo agoI haven't. That would be a completely different app which I'm not interested in working on, I'm afraid.
