Re: [Talk-us] [Imports] shawnee county landuse

2012-12-21 Thread Mike Dupont
I dont think that zipcodes and housenumbers count as copyrightable in usa.
I am not importing the entire database, and I am not copying the shapes
there. Also I am matching them up with bing, I really have doubts about the
data being protected in any meaningful way. I will do more research with
the county and get an opinion from them in writing on monday.

To be clear, you do *not* have a license for this data but are relying on
fair use and your opinion of what is copyrighted?

 

Also, are you relying on the fact that others haven’t gotten into trouble as
support for this import being legally okay?

A lack of a license does not indicate public domain. Some counties consider

there’s no confirmation of that that I see.

 

The K.S.A. 45-220(c)(2)(B) declaration is a bit odd. It doesn’t seem to
match up exactly with K.S.A. 45-230 which is titled “unlawful use of names
derived from public records.”

 

Remember, ODbL like any open license (e.g. CC BY, CC0, CC BY-SA, etc) allows
people to resell the data. Someone could take the OSM address data and do a
mass mailing based on it.

 

I guess *you* might get into trouble based on it but the person doing so

These are actual landuses, the ones that describe the business.

I am importing the plots for zipcode, house number and address data. It is
being used to tag the buildings, it can be deleted when it has been totally
processed. 

 

 

IMHO addresses belong (often) to plots, so in these cases there is no point
in transferring the address information to a building. Don't remember
consensus to not import property limits. I do remember though that there
were concerns about the sheer amount of data increase if we imported this
for the whole world.

 

Cheers,

Martin


Well these are plots/property limits. And I dont want to import them for the
whole world, just the streets  that I am tracing buildings from so that  I
can quickly find locations. Also did you notice that
http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/ can now find house numbers accurately
for these streets I imported : 

http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search.php?q=2033+Southwest+Wanamaker+Rd%
2C+Topeka%2C+Kansas

&viewbox=-217.97%2C80.28%2C217.97%2C-70.31

Until the houses are traced and the data transfered like i did here :

http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/196582551 I removed the plot and the
lbcs data and left only the house itself.
I forgot the landuse=residential.

Yes, I am going to be working on this.
We can remove the US and KS easily.
Not all is perfect, Some of the nodes dont have a house number.

That farm node you mentioned is an empty farmyard.
http://www.snco.us/Ap/R_prop/Listing.asp?PRCL_ID=0282701001001010 It does
not have a house number, but it does exist as a property. I will be either
removing them or removing the building nodes. What do you think?

Now Flu Con Inc is listed at that address. I added it for now, will be
checking it on monday by calling them.

This data does need fixing up, it is not perfect, but I am working on it.

Re: [Talk-us] [Imports] shawnee county landuse

2012-12-21 Thread Toby Murray
Just saw some of this going in and decided to take a look.
Specifically this node:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/2078174875

- I think there is pretty good consensus that we don't need addr:state
and addr:country tags
- The addr:street tag has odd capitalization
- The building=* tag typically doesn't belong on nodes
- It has both building and landuse tags. Seems odd.
- There doesn't appear to be a building there on Bing. Is it new?
- Not sure about all the lbcs: tags. Sometimes it is useful to pull in
external information but it is also clutter in OSM
- The tags are all identical to this node that is 60 meters north:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/2078081231

Seems like this could use some more fixing up before it hits the OSM database.

Re: [Talk-us] [Imports] shawnee county landuse

2012-12-21 Thread Mike Dupont
I have added the info to the wiki
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Kansas/Shawnee_County/Import

also the scripts are updated. I am been manually replacing the  plot info
with just the building, so the only info being imported are the house
numbers and zip codes and the lbcs tags. Also for the new script, I create
a single point with the average location of the points making up the plot
and then manually place that on top of the major building manually. this
checks the data and also basically removes all data being copied,
everything is only just the basic facts.

[Talk-us] Import Committee Meetup Notes

2012-12-21 Thread Serge Wroclawski
Hi all,

This is just a quick roundup with some notes on last night's committee meeting.

We had a good number of people show up, and we had a very useful
discussion on the utility and concerns about imports, the current
status of US imports, the role of the DWG, what kind of help we could
offer importers, etc.

The outcome of the meeting is that there are folks who are interested,
who want to help the process along, and we think that importers will
also appreciate the hand holding.

We're working on getting a new list together for this, and we'll
announce that soon, and we'll also have a meeting in early January.

Thanks all who attended and hopefully those who couldn't make it will
be able to in the future.

- Serge

The VCGI EmergencyE911_RDS file has a field for this. Unfortunately,
58773 out of 64302 values (91%) are "Unknown".

The VCGI license doesn't explicitly give the permissions needed for OSM,
but when I asked to use the town boundaries layer they gave permission.
(I still need to get around to that...)

I'd support it.
