Hi all,
As some of you know, i dont like how messy the 'potential data sources' and Catelogue wiki pages is getting too long, and not organized. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Potential_Datasources http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Catalogue I'm watching the page grow, as well as seeing the mailing lists where people are asking if their local dataset is ok for importing. So the purpose of this chart is to document all of the available datasets, and to list the specifications for each ie. * datasource url * data license * source file type (shp/imagery etc.) * data projection * status * contact * feature description Unlike the wiki, the GoogleDocs chart, is easy to edit and sort and filter data. I have included all of the data from the import catelogue, and now working on the Potential Datasources list. I have added columns for the coverage area, so then as the chart gets bigger (over 500 rows), i can move the regional data rows to a new tab. ... ie. a separate one for Europe and a separate one for all international datasets, and a separate tab for North America Datasets etc. The chart is available to the web with no sign in required ... so its a simple curtacy to contact the chart maintainer (myself) when making big changes, since i keep track of whats going on. I can also add in contributors if you want to register, but it's not required. (since some people are anti-google) So they can edit the chart too. https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Am70fsptsPF2dERHb1RkcXIwMUU1TDR3NF9NbWQxS3c&hl=en and the html version https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=0Am70fsptsPF2dERHb1RkcXIwMUU1TDR3NF9NbWQxS3c&hl=en&output=html Also, on a similar note, hopefully others can take a look at this wiki page, and help organize it a bit better. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Import_Database Cheers, Sam -- Twitter: @Acrosscanada Blogs: http://acrosscanadatrails.posterous.com/ http://Acrosscanadatrails.blogspot.com Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/sam.vekemans Skype: samvekemans IRC: irc://irc.oftc.net #osm-ca Canadian OSM channel (an open chat room) @Acrosscanadatrails _______________________________________________ Imports mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/imports
