I do agree that there's an opportunity for crowdsourcing in cadastral
surveying, but we should be approaching that very carefully and in the
right order. First examine the legal implications of letting the world at
large have r/w access to cadastral parcel geometry. Then bring government
and OSM folks together to sort out if and how OSM could be a platform. And
then import and conflate data. As far as I know, nothing tangible has been
done to complete steps 1 and 2, and here we are discussing step three. I
don't think it's quite time for that yet.
I'm interested in having that discussion, but we do need some common
ground about what and for whom OSM is.
...and we need to examine what our existing user tools and server
processing and storage resources are and how they can handle the amount of
data desired before just blindly throwing many times the existing data size
at them. In Bakersfield, the building outlines and some landuse and other
objects inflated the data size by ~1000%.
