There is some information on the wiki here. https://wiki.openstreetmap.
org/wiki/Canada:British_Columbia:Vancouver#GIS_sources_by_city. Special
permission was obtained from the city for certain datasets only.

I understand Paul Norman arranged for something for the city of Vancouver
Open Data so the data might be imported into OSM.  This is independent of
the normal licensing route.

I'm not sure if Paul has imported data for Vancouver before or not. But
before you import, you need to document on the wiki.
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Canada:British_Columbia:Vancouver#Imports
would be a good place to start looking what people have done in the past

[Talk-ca] Using City of Vancouver Open Licensed Data?

2017-10-02 Thread keith 
Hello Canada list,

I am interested in using some of the data provided by the City of Vancouver
under the "Open Government Licence – Vancouver" (
http://vancouver.ca/your-government/open-data-catalogue.aspx#tab19099).
According to the OSM wiki this is compatible with OSM's licence (
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contributors#Vancouver), is this
accurate?

I want to do small imports of building traces, manually checking the
imagery against the Imagery. I guess this should still be considered to
finish off the section of Vancouver that does not have the buildings
traced. The quality of the data from the City of Vancouver is OK, not
amazing, in fact slightly lower than the average for Vancouver building
traces, but not outside the range. It would be trivial to improve the
traces to be better than average, and I would do so for what I import. It's
for a relatively small area, about 2km by 4.5km, and I would be doing lots
of manual fixes and inspection. So many that I'm not really sure that it's
exactly an import.

If the building traces goes smoothly, and has general acceptance, I might
use other data from the listed datasets.

What do the folks on this list say? Am I good to go ahead with this?

Thanks for any input.

Keith
