I am starting to work on importing Open Data datasets. I am using pnorman's ogr2osm script with modified translation files (see https://github.com/andrewpmk/ogr2osm-translations). It will be some time before I actually import anything.
I would like to assemble a list of government open data portals in Canada which are compatible with the OSM license. Please add suitable open data sources to [https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Canada/Open_data]. If they have already been fully imported then you should put a note on that wiki page. Also I am trying to figure out a way to import newer CanVec data. The CanVec files in OSM format at <http://ftp2.cits.rncan.gc.ca/OSM/pub/> are out of date and appear to have been created in 2010. Is the script that was used to convert CanVec to OSM open source? It looks like there is a new version of CanVec called CanVec+, has anyone here used it yet? I am hoping to do something about the large amount of broken imported data in OSM in Canada and we need a better way of fixing broken CanVec data than copying from the Geobase WMS layer or cutting and pasting from outdated .osm files from 2010. _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
