Re: [Talk-us] US Hydrographic Data

2008-05-07 Thread Ian Dees
I am the proud recipient of 42GB worth of hydrology data.

It appears that the data is in several .tar.gz files. I am working on
unpackaging the data right now. I imagine the next step would be to extract
the subbasins from the overall dataset, make sure the NHD -> OSM script
works as we want it, then start the conversion process.

Would anyone be willing to help on the script?

Sure.  What do you have so far?

I was going to modify Matthew's script here:

http://perrygeo.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/gis-bin/nhd_to_osm.py

to try and fix the issues that he described in the header:

- support "holes" in water bodies (islands)
- tag OSM data with all available NHD data
- split long ways in the resulting OSM data

Dave, maybe you could point us to the script you used to import the TIGER
data? That way we can try and do a similar thing for the NHD data?

It was written in ruby.  I inherited most of it from someone else.  I
think ruby sucked. :)
