[OSM-talk] Boundaries in Haiti

2010-01-16 Thread Frédéric Bonifas
Hi,

Based on the data here :
https://www.geoint-online.net/community/haitiearthquake/default.aspx
of the US Census Bureau, I extracted the city and town borders for
Haiti.
The tags I used are :

is_in=name of the district
name=*
boundary=administrative
admin_level=8
source=US Census Bureau
population=*
id_commune=ID given in the source file

The file is here : http://fredericbonifas.free.fr/haiti_boundaries.osm

Does it seem ok to you before uploading ?
Is there an easy to remove these boundaries if we get better ones later ?

Frédéric

Please create a special import account for this. The data should be easily 
removable as long as the source tag is unique and is not deleted. I would 
suggest to use source=US Census Bureau, boundary import, 16/01/2010

Please also add information about the import to the Haiti wiki page.

Looks good enough. One could of course reuse the ways with relations and
stuff but it is a good start.

Removal is easy enough. Merging with better data would be hard.
