Re: [Talk-GB] Import of UK SSSI data

My view on the licensing question: Very many geographic datasets published by UK public bodies contain data derived from MasterMap or other OS products used under the Public Sector Mapping Agreement. If the public body has published the data under the Open Government Licence, and includes OS

Re: [Talk-GB] Import of UK SSSI data

A few things: - A number of SSSI's are mapped as many are co-incident with various types of Nature Reserves, although sometimes there are minor differences in boundaries. For instance the SSSI

Hmmm, I see. I'll dig further into the licensing side of things before I go any further. Thanks for the pointers! On Sat, 16 Nov 2019, 16:28 Chris Hill, wrote: > I think there may be a problem here. The web page describing the data says > "© Natural England copyright. Contains Ordnance Survey

Re: [Talk-GB] Import of UK SSSI data

I think there may be a problem here. The web page describing the data says "© Natural England copyright. Contains Ordnance Survey data". Many public bodies suffer from the viral OS copyright problem, where the data is based on OS mapping data and OS have claimed copyright over the geodata

Re: [Talk-GB] Import of UK SSSI data

You need to be a little bit clearer about the licensing, to avoid anyone getting shocked! "Freely usable" could mean many things... The arcgis page says the data are under the Open Government Licence. Cheers Dan Op za 16 nov. 2019 om 15:31 schreef Henry Bush : > > Sorry, yes, the source of the

Re: [Talk-GB] Import of UK SSSI data

Sorry, yes, the source of the data is the Natural England API: https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=f10cbb4425154bfda349ccf493487a80 https://naturalengland-defra.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/f10cbb4425154bfda349ccf493487a80_0/ The data is freely usable, so there shouldn't be any licensing

Re: [Talk-GB] Import of UK SSSI data

What is the source of the data you are planning to import? Remember wikipedia is not a useable source under OSM licensing terms. Phil (trigpoint) On Sat, 2019-11-16 at 15:12 +, Henry Bush wrote: > Hello all, > > (I've sent this to both the talk-gb and imports mailing lists) > > This is

[Talk-GB] Import of UK SSSI data

Hello all, (I've sent this to both the talk-gb and imports mailing lists) This is just a heads-up: I'm thinking about importing the data about UK SSSI areas into openstreetmap. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Site_of_Special_Scientific_Interest I've had a quick look at a few, and none of them

[Talk-GB] Strava heatmaps - permission reconfirmed

Hi all, In 2014 Strava developed a custom version if the ID editor which included their heatmap. The tool could adjust OSM ways to better align them with their GPS heatmap. Some years ago that tool stopped working and use of the heatmap for improving OSM was drawn in to doubt. That doubt has now

Re: [Talk-GB] Neighbourhood/LSOA Names

Flickr used to offer a way to search for folk-tagged place names on photographs with their actual GPS location. I seem to remember maps showing the (overlapping) user-reported boundaries of each tag. But that might have been more than 10 years ago, and they've been through a number of
