Hi Daniel and James,
Sounds good, Daniel. Looking forward to see your tool. However, the Open
Building Database data for Montreal looks pretty good in terms of number
of nodes and orthogonalization. I am still working on how to break up
the building blocks, however, with much less time on my

Hi Steve,
As for Montreal: We will create an import plan on the wiki as soon as we have
expanded the discussion about the Montreal import from our local face-to-face

There are plenty of others doing so, too (me included, though I'll happily
deduct a cent for being non-Canadian, so before you know it, you've got a whole

Hi Steve,
As for Montreal: We will create an import plan on the wiki as soon as we
have expanded the discussion about the Montreal import from our local
face-to-face group to the Montreal OSM list and agreed on importing.
Before we do this, we wanted to test the feasibility of the
Hi everyone,
Thanks John for pointing out the new dataset!
Steve, John just indicated that there is this new dataset available now.
I am confident, that after our discussion on importing building
footprints in Canada, the OSMappers who want to go forward with it, will
provide the information
Please read Tim's comments below I suspect he meant to cc talk-ca.
My thoughts run along the same lines as Tim's basically local groups have
to look at what is available then decide for themselves how they wish to
proceed.
We have some experience in the import process available but I think it

Feel free to lead the discussion and gain consensus.
My feeling is it will not be possible to reach one across Canada.

I would concur in general but any import needs the agreement of local
mappers and I think we have to define who they are first.

Just looking at the data for some random areas, it looks like the quality
is comparable to hand-drawn buildings (but not as good as most municipal
data). There are some weirdly rotated and sized buildings, as well as some
missing buildings, there may be other problems in areas I haven't examined.

Two years ago a group of Toronto mappers submitted the City of Toronto
Open Data license to the LWG to see if it was acceptable. I assume they
meant to import things such as building outlines. I also assumed as I
think others did that this meant Toronto mappers were happy to import

No, I am not planning to import these. However, your notification that the
data are available seems to be encouraging the data to BE imported into OSM.
Of course, there is a "more correct" way to do that.
Perhaps I might encourage you to sharpen up your intention for notifying
talk-ca of the

A responsible complement to this would be a link to license information, a wiki
page about these data, and perhaps an Import Plan should those data actually be
asserted to be worthy of being responsibly imported into OSM.
