Re: [Talk-ca] New project with OSM at Statistics Canada

Why wouldn't this be added value to osm? Maybe not in your use case, but for statistics, disaster relief and even routing this would be valuable to have on the map. On Wed, Aug 3, 2016 at 8:01 PM, john whelan wrote: > Do you really want to add 300,000 building outline to

Re: [Talk-ca] New project with OSM at Statistics Canada

Do you really want to add 300,000 building outline to the map? If it was just the non residential ones I think that is reasonable but adding every residential house is adding less value. Can we identify and omit the obvious single family homes? Cheerio John On 3 Aug 2016 7:57 pm, "Ellefsen,

Re: [Talk-ca] Crowdsourcing buildings with Statistics Canada

I would put it as a sub project under OSM Canada more for reference than anything else. Simply put Stats Canada is looking for the following attributes on buildings initially in the City of Ottawa and the City of Gatineau. I would recommend repeating it in French on the wiki page but you maybe

Re: [Talk-ca] New project with OSM at Statistics Canada

James, Thank you for this. Comparing with what is already there and the new data is definitely a major first step. For licensing, we are making sure to follow terms and conditions. So far, footprints that we obtained are all cleared for use. Getting addresses is going to be part of the

Re: [Talk-ca] Crowdsourcing buildings with Statistics Canada

Could we make that page more encompassing of Canada and the project? Other areas might want to get started and it would be great if they could find the info as well. From: James [mailto:james2...@gmail.com] Sent: August-03-16 12:50 PM To: Ellefsen, Bjenk (STATCAN)

Re: [Talk-ca] Crowdsourcing buildings with Statistics Canada

We could use only a selection of tags. In the form in the interface we will use, it could be just residential and apartments not be in the choices. We will use the tags reserved for buildings. As John mentioned, malls can have just a few tags and then there are these shops and amenities

[Talk-ca] Wiki comment about Bilingual street names in Ottawa

Currently OSMand amongst other rendering systems will display most street names in Ottawa in either English or French according to the settings in the software, some street names have only an English entry. In 2010 a request was made to discuss the issue since the method used although used in

Re: [Talk-ca] Crowdsourcing buildings with Statistics Canada

Do you already have a wikipage for Stats Can project? Because I think 1 wiki page per sub project would be best to no confuse the information provided. You can also create sections under your Stats Can project wiki page and link to the wiki page with more detailed information if people need more

Re: [Talk-ca] Crowdsourcing buildings with Statistics Canada

We could put it here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Ottawa_Gatineau_Buildings and then link to it from: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Canada:Ontario:Ottawa and http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Gatineau under the data import section. That way people can find the information much

We can. People at State of the map US in seattle really seemed to enjoy how well documented it was. Which makes maintenance a bit easier if stuff is documented On Aug 3, 2016 12:23 PM, "Ellefsen, Bjenk (STATCAN)" < bjenk.ellef...@canada.ca> wrote: > The city of los angeles went through the same

The city of los angeles went through the same process(importing buildings) and this might be useful for the project: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Los_angeles,_California/Buildings_Import On Aug 3, 2016 11:04 AM, "john whelan" wrote: > Technically we can add to

Re: [Talk-ca] Crowdsourcing buildings with Statistics Canada

Technically we can add to what is there but that adds volume to the database. We also need to settle on the tags to be used. I noted the use of building=retail I assume that is acceptable as well as commercial. Another tag used is ele which has the same values as building:levels but I hadn't
