Re: [Talk-ca] Buildings in Montreal

So we have the centre mapped for buildings. We could invite people to add tags to the existing building outlines. Doing it the hard way we could set up a task to map building outlines in a small section of Montreal and use conventional JOSM mappers to draw in the outlines. I suggest using a

Hi all, I'm one of the local montreal contributors with repeated contacts at the city of Montreal. To answer the questions: 1) We did get the city to explicitely state authorization for re-use under odbl as per the guidelines of the LWG for CC-by-4.0. The license is compatible for montreal

Re: [Talk-ca] Buildings in Montreal

I think its best if they can organise themselves. We don't have a French translation of the wiki which is unfortunate. If you could bring the matter to their attention that would be useful. I suspect that most of the building outlines are already mapped and the real challenge will be tagging

La série Carte de base contient sans doute les données du cadastre(format Autocad échelle 1/1,000). http://donnees.ville.montreal.qc.ca/dataset/cartographie-de-base Les contributeurs de Montréal sont en lien avec la ville de Montréal et peuvent sans doute obtenir des extractions sous d'autres

[Talk-ca] Buildings in Montreal

Since Montreal would appear to have an acceptable licence and Open Data does it have a building outline file that technically could be imported? The second part would be does it have local mappers who would be willing to support such an import? On the more technical side I would imagine it would
