Hi, Does anyone know if or when the OSMF would adopt a policy to use a dedicated API that could be used as a dedicated data storage warehouse. So then a copy of the latest available data (from the source national/regional/local) government data, can be stored in it it.
This way, the api data layer can be rendered as a mapnik layer, so then people can choose to eithor trace directly from it, or download .osm file from a small area and manually copy what they like into the main osm api. Ideally, this imports API would need to allow people to directly inject the database with data (all CCBY) and list the attribution source). and smaller changes could also be permitted. (but telling people that the licence of this api is different) Thanks, Sam -- Twitter: @Acrosscanada Blogs: http://acrosscanadatrails.posterous.com/ http://Acrosscanadatrails.blogspot.com Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/sam.vekemans Skype: samvekemans IRC: irc://irc.oftc.net #osm-ca Canadian OSM channel (an open chat room) @Acrosscanadatrails _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
