Re: [Talk-ca] Proposed import: Surrey Address Data
I just wanted to note a couple of mistakes are present in the conversion of rd -> road, etc, which are now fixed, and I'm re-running the conversions. > -Original Message- > From: talk-ca-boun...@openstreetmap.org [mailto:talk-ca- > boun...@openstreetmap.org] On Behalf Of Paul Norman > Sent: Tuesday, January 04, 2011 12:52 AM > To: talk-ca@openstreetmap.org > Subject: [Talk-ca] Proposed import: Surrey Address Data > > I'm proposing to import the surrey address data located at > http://www.surrey.ca/city-services/658.aspx > > I've written a translation script for the data, and it, along with the > data untranslated and translated are located at > http://maps.paulnorman.ca/surrey/addresses/ > > Legal: > > The data is PDDL, which is a well-known license and compatible. > > Data quality: > > The data is essentially an export from the city's internal GIS server > and should be very accurate.

[Talk-ca] Manitoba Highway Naming -- Need some French translation advice
In my most recent Canvec Imports of MB I'm trying to nail down the french names
for Provincial Roads and Provincial Trunk Highways in Manitoba. So far the
general scheme I'm using for naming is as follows:
Provincial Trunk Highway:
Any highway where ref=[0-9]{1-2} (ie one or two digit route number)
highway = primary
name = Provincial Trunk Highway XY
name:en = Provincial Trunk Highway XY
name:fr = Route provinciale à grande circulation XY
Provincial Road:
Any highway where ref=[0-9]{3,3} (ie a 3 digit route number)
highway = secondary
name = Provincial Road XYZ
name:en = Provincial Road XYX
name:fr = Route provinciale secondaire XYZ
The french names for the provincial road and provincial trunk highway are based
on what I've seen in various government publications such as the Highway and
Transportation Act (http://web2.gov.mb.ca/laws/statutes/ccsm/h050e.php).
I'm basing the convention of road classification based on what I've observed
having lived here forever, and also based on the MB government highway
classification standards (http://www.gov.mb.ca/mit/mcd/mcpd/mhcs.html).
The main thing I'd like to ask if if my "french equivalents" make sense. Ie is
Provincial Road 254 = Route provinciale secondaire 254? What about roads where
there are two routes? Ie. Provincial Trunk Highway 3 & 83; is this Route
provinciale à grande circulation 3 & 83?
Thanks!

[Talk-ca] apps4ottawa competition
There are a couple of OpenStreetMap based entries www.apps4ottawa.ca/en/apps, mine use Maperitive but I think there are a couple more floating around. It would be appreciated if you hype them up a little by dropping in a comment or vote on one or more of these to raise the profile of OpenStreetMap. Most of the rest seem to be Google map type things. There are some prizes and Igor has a donate button. Many thanks Cheerio John ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
[Talk-ca] Proposed import: Surrey Address Data
I'm proposing to import the surrey address data located at http://www.surrey.ca/city-services/658.aspx I've written a translation script for the data, and it, along with the data untranslated and translated are located at http://maps.paulnorman.ca/surrey/addresses/ Legal: The data is PDDL, which is a well-known license and compatible. Data quality: The data is essentially an export from the city's internal GIS server and should be very accurate. I was unable to find any errors with spot checks. With the exception of strip malls and townhouse complexes, the positions seem very accurate. Strip malls are in order, but may not exactly match store locations. Townhouses have similar issues. Size: ~100k nodes. This will need to be done in multiple parts on a separate account. Existing data: A check with JOSM found no nodes with addr:* in Surrey Shortfalls - No postal codes - Although the data is there for associated street relations, I'm not proposing creating them Sample node addr:city=Surrey addr:country=CA addr:housenumber=11508 addr:state=British Columbia addr:street=97A Avenue source=City of Surrey 2010 GIS Data source:url=http://www.surrey.ca/city-services/658.aspx surrey:date=19850924= surrey:globalid=E949685B-38B3-44D2-A5DC-C0750AE0B4C4 ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
