Re: [Talk-ca] Multipolygon problems

To be fairyour example is from Canvec 4.0.that's reaaallly oldwas it possible that was a way of tagging back in the days? Or was it created initially as a polygon and was later converted to a relation? Canvec 10.0 doesnt have the issues of double tagging, just overlapping On

Re: [Talk-ca] Multipolygon problems

If it's just removing tags, on inner polygons of a multipolygon, that should be manageable in itself... is there a way you are querying for said items without setting up a postgresql database? On Jun 30, 2017 3:57 PM, "James" <james2...@gmail.com> wrote: > To be fairy

Re: [Talk-ca] Multipolygon problems

As James has stated this sort of clean up requires fairly specialised resources that realistically we don't have in sufficient quantity to meet your priorities and I think the Canadian mappers have indicated this is not a high priority for them and they are happy with the statu

This is probably why dbh is used as the diameter only changes a tiny fraction of the circumferance per year, so the data is less stale and you dont have to audit them every year On Jun 28, 2017 9:21 PM, "Max Erickson" wrote: > > > On Jun 28, 2017 6:46 PM, "Kyle Nuttall"

Re: [Talk-ca] [Imports] Ottawa, Canada Tree Import

Other than MANUALLY VERIFYING EACH AND EVERY TREE, there is no way to give a statistical analysis of the accuracy of the entire dataset. If we did it programatically we'd have to prove how the method of analysis is correct and would be probably be brushed off as being a "mechanical edit" thus

Re: [Talk-ca] [Imports] Ottawa, Canada Tree Import

Well that analysis is incorrect in itself as others have stated, OSM can be wrong. So a river bank, building, etc may not be properly drawn. So with that being said what you are saying is the only viable way to accept an import is to manually review every single item in the dataset. On Wed, Jun
