Paul, About duplicated waterbody & coastline ways east of Westham Island: It is the result of a complex case, where a combination of 3 "waterbody types" (Channel, River, Ocean) and 3 "water permanency" types (Permanent, Intermittent, Unknown) are touching each other around a coastal Island. That is a natural oddity !-)
I haven't foreseen such a combination in transforming the Canvec waterbody definition into something that matches Osm definition. The process has been changed and the data will be corrected soon. About missing Delta-Richmond border: Boundaries are published when available. They are usually provided by the Provinces. As there is no agreement yet, with the BC government, there is no Delta-Richmond border to search for. About the missing metadata.txt file: On Friday, 2012-04-20 17:37 I wrote: "I will soon include metadata generation in the conversion process". "Soon" did not mean that soon !-) I will probably provide them in the following weeks, while reprocessing the files to eliminate waterbody & coastline potentially duplicated ways, like the case you just raised.

This approximately runs down the South arm of the Fraser. The second is that for the largish island just SE of the middle the east coast of it has both a natural=coastline and a natural=water way. The choice between what is part of the ocean and marked by coastline vs. what is part of the river and marked by a closed way or multipolygon is fairly arbitrary but it's duplicated here. Also, was there supposed to be a text file indicating the age of the features in the zip file? I didn't find one Paul _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
