Hello everyone, As James wrote yesterday, the City of Ottawa has approved the release of a large building footprints file for their Open Data portal. We have been working in close collaboration with the City of Ottawa on that front and it is a major contribution. We are tracking progress and

Stewart, The process was a success for me, the only issue was the data was bad... I've been involved in importing some of the GNS data and it was a great set up Pierre and other OSM members set up. Bad data goes in, bad data comes out. Thankfully we have good data provided by the City of Ottawa

Hey Steve, James already answered a few of your comments, however I can expand a bit more on one of your questions/comment about the TM and the OSM tiles. > Are there examples of tasking manager coordinated building imports that > the community considers a success? If so how does this plan

Re: [Talk-ca] [Import] Ottawa Buildings & Addresses [Statistics Canada project]

Steve, the only replacement, is if ottawa's geometry is better. There are a lot of buildings in Ottawa that are CanVec 6.0 which is ancient! Not to mention pretty crumby/blocky. As for manually mapped buildings like stittsville(AJ Ashton's buildings) just re-align it as they offset to

Re: [Talk-ca] [Import] Ottawa Buildings & Addresses [Statistics Canada project]

There were a couple of fairly critical dates that happened in the background. The first was Stats Canada wanting to announce they had gone live on October 17th that date was internal to them and only finalised very late in the day, the other was the Open Data license, we've been working with the

Re: [Talk-ca] [Import] Ottawa Buildings & Addresses [Statistics Canada project]

I like it overall. Nice to see more quality data being added, and I'm personally pretty pro-import generally. However, just from following this list, I was surprised that the import was suddenly being done. I recall seeing messages about the possibility of a project, and it sounded like it was

A comment the data is of high quality and the building outlines are of particular interest to the Stats Canada Project where Statistics Canada is attempting to crowd source adding tags added to non residential buildings within the City of Ottawa and Gatineau. These include the number of levels
