Re: [Talk-ca] shp-to-osm-0.2

[Sam Vekemans]

Thanks for forwarding this, you covered the bugs im sure i would have
incountered :-)

it might be good to note that there is no limit to how many lines the
rules.txt can be?

You could announce this on the div &talk list?

Thanks again,
Sam

 I downloaded the svn, and geotools-2.5.1 and managed to get the it to
 run
 in the eclipse IDE.  It output the OSM file ok, even though I don't
 think I
 added the geotools lib the correct way (all the jar files) based on the
 console warnings.

 So the latest SVN code seems like it works right, you just havn't
 released it yet :)

Re: [Talk-ca] [Talk-us] Automatch for importing NHD

[Sam Vekemans]

yupee!!!
That's so cool :-)
I got it to work, i was able to grab the NID (as well as the rest of the
CanVec ID's) which are so desperately needed. and so i can customize and add
whatever tags that are needed.
I still need to do a little more testing to see if it detects shp files with
multiple ID's... but i think it will.
(my little eee pc over heats and needs to cool down... and my head hurts and
also needs to cool down) :-)

I should have the BAT file im using ready to share soon,  I will be
following the wiki chart, and watching for changes. .. and what's cool is
that i'll be also updating the wiki as i go along.

There is only 300 map features, so it will probably take a week or less,
to get the rules.txt all in line.

Although it doesn't do any AutoMatching, selecting & deleting 4 times around
the region your working on isn't that bad.

Cheers,
And thanks SOO much :)
P.S. I'll be sure to note your names on the readme.txt for it.

Re: [Talk-ca] CanVec (part of GeoBase) Import update

[Sam Vekemans]

Thanks,http://www.safe.com/products/desktop/overview.php
I think thats the product your referring to? Looks like it possible to get
14 days per user key?

Anyway, it seems like your method is similar, just that you grab the area
before it gets converted to OSM format.

The only challenge we still have is that it doesn't retain the NID, nor can
it automatically create tags for each feature ID.

But as long as the source looks back to CanVec, the legal standpoint should
be fine.

Does anyone know how to create a java script that will attach OSM tags to
SHP files?  (so it can be added on to this shp-to-osm script? ...

Until then, this manual effort seems fine.   BUT I will wait till i hear
from the rest of the team (talk-ca) list before proceeding to go full steam
ahead.  :)

Thanks,
Sam

You that I am a FME fan. So I made a quick FME workbench to import the
building. I am going to make it more generic and I'll use the chart you
prepared (thanks). I'll add my name on the status table for Canvec Import
when I be ready to import buildings. I'll update the chart if it needs to be
adjusted.

Right, that 'zoom to selection' (should) eliminate that crazy off-set
that happens during cut'n'paste.

If you are handling smallish amounts of data you can cut'n'paste between
JOSM layers, if you are handling massive data sets you are probably better
off using osmosis to filter and upload stuff.

For JOSM the trick is:
1) Load local '.osm' to layer (1).
2) Move to location and download OSM data for area, layer (2)
3) In layer (1) select appropriate data, either with 'area select' or
ctrl+click
4) 'Zoom to selection'/extents of data (press '2' key).
5) Copy data
6) Switch to OSM layer (2)
7) Paste local data and tidy up.
8) repeat as nessecary
9) Upload result.

You need to 'zoom to selection' otherwise the location of the data is
changed as it is cut'n'pasted between layers.

Have fun,
Simon.

Eureka!
By starting a new session of JOSM;
1 - with opening BS2010009_2.osm and with 4 large square selections delete
everything BUT the area your familiar with (on-the-ground observations).
2 - Load the local OSM area.
3 - Then add in the appropriate KEY/Values along with the source:CanVec
Import 2009 tag.  <

Re: [Talk-ca] CanVec (part of GeoBase) Import update

[Sam Vekemans]

Thanks,
What was the method you used to import the buildings?

The method i discribe should NOT be used, as i dont use the many
different building ID's available (the wiki chart has the list of what
tags each ID Should get).
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/CanVec:_Buildings_and_structures
2010009_2.shp includes everything from Train Station Buildings to
Educational Buildings  (48 or so different building ID's) ... the
_2 indicates polygon.
And yes, CanVec doesnt distinguish between different educational
buildings... lumps them all in to the same category.

Also my method does not imort NIDs.


Cheers,
Sam

Re: [Talk-ca] CanVec (part of GeoBase) Import update

[Michel Gilbert]

Hi Sam & all,

The idea is good to import building entities. I think we should concentrate
on polygon buildings where we'll get important buildings. To tag them you
should first prepare a map between osm tags and canvec building attribute.
Of cousre the most important attribute is building function. I imported few
buildings in Sherbrooke area (
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=45.37976&lon=-71.92381&zoom=15&layers=B000FTF).
I tagged the buildings like this:


   - k=building, v="university" or k=building, v="yes"
   - k=amenity, v="university"

I don't think Canvec has the amenity concept though.

Cheers,

Michel

[Talk-ca] CanVec (part of GeoBase) Import update

[Sam Vekemans]

Hi all,I posted a link to the screen shot on the wiki page
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Canvec2osm
I haven't uploaded any of the data, because I haven't figured out how to get
the tags on there (especially the NID)
I used the shp-to-osm java program (from Ian Dees), and a basic DOS program
to name all the shape files. The shapefiles contain more details, as you can
see from the other image, viewing from the JUMP program. The wiki charts
show how each feature ID# would match up to OSM.

the selected item or selected groups of items, rather than uploading
