Re: [Talk-ca] Stats Canada building project

But they can't use OGL-CA v2 cos municipalities aren't federal. And anything but the actual few already approved licences need a multi-month review. Stewart On Sep 27, 2017 18:28, "James" wrote: > other then have them change their license from say ogl-ca v1 to ogl-cav2 >

Just so folks know, there are a few initiatives going on that could lead us to using Ontario and Toronto open data. I requested the LWG review the licences last month. This will take a few months to rattle through the system. Also last month on Open Data Day, there were useful contacts made at

Hi Dennis - thanks for getting back to me. > We will be using the Tasking Manager to import small chunks of data that can be downloaded via each individual tasks. So these could possibly be carried out by regular user accounts, not the dedicated import accounts as required by the guidelines?

I checked on OSM-legal. Would probably work if we had a statement from Peel agreeing to inclusion. As is, it's likely not compatible. Stewart -- Forwarded message -- From: "Simon Poole" Date: Sep 8, 2016 13:57 Subject: Re: [OSM-legal-talk] Licence compatibility:

Re: [Talk-ca] Highway recoding

A trunk road is not necessarily divided. The limited access part means that it's not residential. It has to go from a town or city to another town or city. It predates or has lesser capacity than a motorway. It's one of these maddening "know one when I see one" definitions that makes perfect

Re: [Talk-ca] Advice on Addressing

I was pretty disappointed with the results I got from (mapquest's) Nominatim when I tried to geocode Doors Open Toronto's data. I found about a third of the results were clearly wrong, and haven't eyeballed the rest on a map to see how far off they are. Toronto's got pretty good address range
