Re: [Talk-us] TIGER 2008 Data is Out
Hi folks, quick question about this Tiger lines and OSM. 1) Are there any import scripts out there which are not rails or php? something in .NET maybe? 2) Do the tiger lines have the following data (which could then be imported into OSM) : a) State shapes (eg. California, New York (state), Illinois, etc) b) County shapes (eg. Cook County (IL), DuPage County (IL) etc) c) City shapes (eg. San Fran, Boston, Chicago, etc.) d) Suburbs (eg. Oak Brook (Chicago), Naperville (Chicago), etc) e) Neighbourhoods (eg. Tribeca (NYC), Chelsea (NYC) Actually, are suburbs and neighbourhoods the same thing? 3) Does OSM have this data? thanks heaps for any help :) -Justin- > On Tue, Dec 23, 2008 at 11:40 AM, Ian Dees wrote: > > Huzzah!

Not that I've seen. What they do publish is the TLID and TZID numbers in their data. These are permanent segment and node numbers which do not change from one Tiger release to the next, so you can do your own comparisons and updates. It also means that if you want to synchronize with them, you need to keep and maintain their TLID and TZID numbers. - Alan ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us

[Talk-us] Tiger 2008 Data
I just e-mailed the Census Bureau, and the friendly woman on the other end told me that they were planning on releasing "TIGER/Line 2008" by the end of this year. Keep that in mind when we are talking about importing 2007 data. She said to keep an eye on the TIGER website ( http://www.census.gov/geo/www/tiger/) for updates about the 2008 data. ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
