The good folks at DoEE have been more helpful and have given us
permission to use future releases of CAPAD under the same terms. Given
that the next release of CAPAD is due out in a number of weeks it
raises the question should we wait and then do an import?
Wait.
For those like me lost with the acronyms
DoEE, Commonwealth Department of Environment and Energy
CAPAD, Collaborative Australian Protected Areas Database
Assuming that the community thinks this is a good idea the other big
question is what to do with the existing boundaries. Having a look at
the data it appears that the data we have permission to use is:
1. NSW from NSW LPI (but these are only the areas managed by the NSW
NPWS)
2. Tas from CAPAD 2014
3. SA from DEWNR
All of the other data is from unknown sources or sources we don't have
permission to use (or at least I can't find it on the wiki).
So do we:
1. Scrub them off and start again,
2. Scrub off the other tags and leave them if they have a landcover
tag, or
3. Try and reuse them with the replace geometry tool?
Other ideas?
My thoughts ... initial .. subject to improvements?
A)
Data should not be removed from OSM base on a suspicion.
If you believe something comes from a copyright source then take it up
with the contributor on an individual basis. If you don't want to do
this .. then don't remove the data either.
B)
The NSW LPI data I would leave alone for now.
Work on those states that are not well defined or poorly represented in
OSM.
I would compare the present data in OSM with the CAPAD data .. if it is
the same then add the tag checked=CAPAD yyyy ? (where yyyy = numerical year)
If it is different then use the replace geometry tool and then alter the
source tag..
If new .. then just add it as usual.
C)
Has the appropriate OSM permission for this import been obtained? It has
been for past CAPAD .. but may need to be verified for 2016? Should be a
simple thing?
Possibly the permission needs to be open ended like the DoEE permission
to use it?

I note that the DoEE are using OSM mapping ... through mapbox.
