[OSM-talk-be] Wallonia to publish data from OSM
Hi, Second news about Wallonia / Service public de Wallonie. From OpenBelgium we started a discussion with SPW. 1. They would be happy to publish data from OSM on the geoportail (http://geoportail.wallonie.be) ! The idea is to help people to find data without having to learn how to export them from OSM. They also have the will to support / help the contributor's work, and let this work known by the public. Currently, a first proposal of dataset to publish is a csv list of all amenities in Wallonia. This would be useful for people who do not have knowledge to export data from osm. The second proposal which was discussed was vector data about walking route (chemins balisés) (as here : http://hikebikemap.org/?zoom=13&lat=50.46&lon=5.88). They have data about Voies lentes (http://geoportail.wallonie.be/cms/render/live/en/sites/geoportail/home/geocatalogue.html?mdUUID=ef6dff90-aa13-41af-acbd-39ed8af6800d), they might add data about local routes on the geoportal, in a shapefile or GML form. Do you have other proposals which might be interesting to publish ? The criteria are : provide useful things, or things we are proud to provide (because it does not exists elsewhere, or because it is quite complete). 2. They are also thinking about using OSM tiles on WalOnMap. We will be invited to a meeting about this topic soon. Step by step, things goes progressing...

[OSM-talk-be] Wallonia : new dataset : elevation data
Hi, I have two news with SPW / Wallonia, I will separate those news into two threads. Wallonia has published this week a brand new digital elevation model : http://geoportail.wallonie.be/cms/render/live/en/sites/geoportail/home/geocatalogue.html?mdUUID=1365808b-36f9-4cd3-8ca7-c5aafbe93170 This was calculated with lidar, with a vertical precision of 12 cm, and around 1 dot/meter sq. What about elevation ? Osm is in 2d, we do not gather elevation data ! I know about that; but what might be very intersting is that there is also a [modèle numérique de surface / digital surface model.] This allow us to see buildings and trees very clearly. Example here, in Namur : http://geoportail.wallonie.be/WalOnMap/#BBOX=185392.55536360716,185807.6874438713,128187.20688341379,128421.09901786472#MSS=MNS2013,true,100,0:true|;#BMS=FDP|100;FDPANNO|100;#TOC=MNS2013 Where shadows does not allow to see clearly where are the building border, the DSM might help us. It also hide unuseful details. Trees are also visible. And we might calculate the building height. The SPW might us know that we are allowed to use their data for osm :-) What do you think ?
