Hi there, I am able to script any fixes you want.
I have a big collection of perl hacks for various imports here : http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~kosova/%2Bjunk/openstreetmapkosova/ I will refrain from any more major imports for usa. In fact, these are the big datasets that I found. The documentation of what I did it very simple. All the nodes have the same tags : Here are the tags that I have used in the import : 1. landuse = industrial 2. man_made = environmental_hazard 3. name = from the KML file 4. ref = http://iaspub.epa.gov/enviro/national_kml.registry_html?p_registry_id=110010106081 5. source = http://www.epa.gov/enviro/geo_data.html On Sat, Dec 12, 2009 at 2:17 PM, Emilie Laffray <emilie.laff...@gmail.com> wrote: > On 12/12/2009 13:12, jamesmikedup...@googlemail.com wrote: >> I have create a wiki page to funnel the discussion. >> http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/EPAGeospatial >> >> But personally, I am happy to see this data.
