Hi OSM'ers I am working on adding buildings to OSM in Manitoba and have a few questions. I was just offered an updated building footprint and address shape file from the City of Brandon, and agreement that it can be used in OSM. I understand that the license needs to be compliant with the OSMs of course, and will email the licensing group. The City uses a open data license similar to Ottawa's (can be seen here http://opengov.brandon.ca/ terms.aspx) I can get written consent in an email if need be as well. Currently the buildings are from the Manitoba land initiative website (MLI) and I can see that the city of Brandon Data is much more accurate (in both attributes and position) I will review the current data. Is there anything else I should be doing before I upload this?
The plan is to have high school students look at the map and using walking maps or equivalent data capture (android app) to find what is accessible for people with mobility issues around their schools. I'll write the results on a wiki to show our successes. Anyone else have good ideas how to get students to add to the map? (with teacher oversight of course!) Cheers, Keith
