After a rather long battle with Cambridgeshire County Council over the release and licensing of their Public Rights of Way GIS data, the ICO ruled in my favour again last month, and the Council have now released the data under the Open Government Licence. This means it's suitable for use in OSM. :-)
I've added the data to my Rights of Way comparison and progress tracking tool at http://robert.mathmos.net/osm/prow/progress/ . Thanks to Barry Cornelius the data is also available in various formats from his site http://www.rowmaps.com/ . (From the initial look that I've had, it seems that the Cambridgeshire paths themselves are generally quite well mapped in OSM, but the tagging with appropriate designation=* and access tags is variable. The presence of prow_ref=* tags to allow matching with official data is almost non-existent.) For anyone who's interested, the correspondence in the FOI/EIR/RoPSI requests can be read at https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/public_rights_of_way_gis_data and https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/re_use_request_for_public_rights_2 . I also have a third request still in progress to try and get the written Definitive Statements: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/help/unhappy/definitive_statement_of_public_r Robert. -- Robert Whittaker _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
