Hi,
I'm a guest only on this list, having subscribed for the sole
purpose of asking this question but I thought it was not really
something for [EMAIL PROTECTED] ;-)
I have extracted the following list of "second-level administrative
areas" for the UK from a data source named GADM. Each of these comes
with a bounding polygon, the license of which is a bit unclear to me
so I'd rather not import them into OSM right away, but I think it
would be ok for me to use these polygons to extract "mini planets" for
each of the areas.
My question to you is, (a) would such "mini planets" be useful to
folks in the UK (does somebody else already do it, or does somebody
want to do it if I hand him Osmosis-compatible polygon definitions for
each of the areas?), and (b) is the list of administrative areas
below halfway sensible, or is it a mix of various levels that would
only confuse people and nobody would know where to look for his area?
For bonus points, (c) does the list cover the whole of the UK?
It certainly looks confusing to *me* but then I'm from the other side
of the Channel!
It seems obvious that "Administrative Counties" and "Unitary
Authorities" are in England, "Districts" are in N.Ireland and "Unitary
Districts" as well as the island regions in Scotland.
But is it correct that London Boroughs are on the same level as these?
Is there really a difference between an "Administrative County" and a
mere "County" (as Berkshire is listed) and the three "Metropolitan
Counties" in the list, or is this some kind of data processing
artifact?
What's with Derry, listed as "London Borough (City)", I always thought
Derry was in Ireland? And why is Kingston upon Thames listed as
"London Borough (royal)"?
Bye
