Re: [OSM-talk-be] SPW PICC 2000 map on JOSM (not 2000)

2015-06-05 Thread Julien Fastré
Hi,

- Aucune contrainte d'accès pour la consultation

means that there is no constraints to consult the data.

For them, copying the data from the PICC into OSM by JOSM is not
copying... That's the answer I had. And as this is an answer which
agrees me, I won't try to have another, which would make me unhappy...
Unless not before we can gather a hundred of people in front of the
Governement Walloon to ask more, or simply have an hundred of people
joining open knowledje (http://www.openknowledge.be/) and creating a
mass movement.

The situation is not the best and it is not clear, I admit and they
reckon that, and some people are doing a great job inside the
administration to make things going better.

Philippe Henry is not Minister any more for one year, now. (off-topic :
And I am not sure that I would be happy if what a minister is decided is
immediatly executed... That's a part of democraty. Even if it slows down
things when they go in a way I am happy with. I prefer this situation).

The WMS service definition is not up to date, you already have mentioned
that.

 Bon maintenant,

 Regarding the "Belgian settings", I have mentioned before that JOSM
 requires WMS EPSG:4326/3857 and reported to SPW in 2010 and here later
 that the best WA server, which was the PICC server, returned blank
 4326 tiles. It even contained many WMS configuration errors such that

Hi Julien,

This is what I see (as "conditions particulières" I suppose) (my display
set to English language):

Conditions d'accès et d'utilisation
- Aucune contrainte d'accès pour la consultation
- Les termes de la licence s'appliquent.
http://geoportail.wallonie.be/files/LicData.pdf
- Les termes de la licence s'appliquent.
http://geoportail.wallonie.be/files/LicData.pdf
Obtaining formalities   
Pour toutes demandes, complétez le formulaire de licence
(http://geoportail.wallonie.be/files/LicData.pdf) et l'envoyer à
helpdesk.ca...@spw.wallonie.be

But I see absolutely no explanation of what "consultation" and "license"
allow to do.

You once wrote that Minister Henry has told SPW (his department) to open
all their data.
And later that we can now copy the data.

Maybe Minister Henry should be asked to be sure that the answer is what
he wants.
Also making sure that the boundary data belongs to the Belgian people
represented by its government.

To put an end to these endless discussions (repeated for every server),
I have once opened a JOSM ticket suggesting that JOSM could read the ©
information from where it belongs in the server meta-data and display it
to the JOSM user on first use of the server, any time the © is modified
and on request.
The ticket was closed with "wontfix" status.  That doesn't make © seem
an important topic.
The PICC meta-data contains:

In which case JOSM should automatically suggest the user to send a
prepared e-mail to
helpdesk.ca...@spw.wallonie.be
suggesting them to fill meta-data as ©-URL
Iso-date
and referring to an OpenStreetMap document explaining what ©-URL should
explain clearly for OSM usage.

These are "facts" and is is in no way trying to convince that anybody is
"doing bad job" as you claim, but is my usual suggestions to improve the
situation.
Unfortunately, they cannot be written in two lines as you request, just try.

PS: I made a confusion when calling it PICC 2000 with DWG 2000 which is
a data distribution format.
PICC was created in 1991 and the last data update is 2015-01-08.
But that does not say what exactly was updated and I don't see in PICC
houses that are built for a long time, hence my confusion.
Anyway, checking with the aerial layer is necessary, that's a reason why
I made PICC transparent.

André.
