It could be argued that the location of pools, even if private, would
be a valuable knowledgebase in fire and other emergencies.

You are not saying whose pool it is, or who has a pool, only that
there is a pool at this location.  But I would nevertheless be
interested in the privacy implications, given that you can see them
with google and similar.

[talk-au] State forest areas - possible from DCDB-lite?

2010-02-21 Thread Chris Barham
Hi,
I've heard that the Qld DCDB-lite dataset has some cadastral information
that can be used to populate OSM.
Does this contain State Forests boundaries?  If so, I'd like to understand
the process to improve the OSM map around Benarkin by getting the forest
tagged;
so the question is how would one extract the correct area bounds for
Benarkin state forest from DCDB?

Refs:

DERM Qld Govt page on Benarkin:
http://www.derm.qld.gov.au/parks/benarkin/index.html
OpenStreetmap area is here: http://osm.org/go/ueFPK5A
Whereis has the forest extent in green here: http://j.mp/a0tgyr

Cheers,
Chris

If you know the rough start location then yes you can pull that info
from DCDB, I've tagged a number of state forests and national parks
this way, some even have a void running through them where roads go :)

They usually show up as one big boundary...

How are there any privacy issues when you can see those same pools on
aerial imagery?
