import of dataset for new zealand
land information new zealand is a government org that holds data on roads and properties for the entirety of new zealand. they have recently given permission to use their data sets in osm, with a caveat that we include an attribution statement: "Contains data sourced from Land Information New Zealand. Crown Copyright reserved. Land Information New Zealand gives no warranty in relation to the data, including its accuracy, reliability and suitability and accepts no liability whatsoever in relation to any loss, damage or other costs relating to the use of any data, any compilations, derivative works or modifications of the data". this is a huge data set, with a lot of very useful information. it will immediately bring road coverage (currently very poor) for the entire country up to 100%, and may include property information for every land title in the country, which then opens the door for other open data sets, such as zenbu.co.nz (business listings) the key is the attribution at present there is no method for attributing data in osm, so this is a call to all: a technical solution is sought, to display the corresponding information whenever linz-sourced data is being viewed. suggestions and comments, please ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
