Ignoring right / wrong methods to managing the actual importing of importing for a moment, what's the right / wrong way to *track various permissions* received for use of data?
(1) Data use / contributor tracking? For example, I've added Seattle's permission to use their data (yay! - kudos to Cliff Snow for getting this rolling) at: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contributors#City_of_Seattle.2C_Washington . However, this page could quickly grow to be pretty unwieldy if it had statements like this for every municipality or agency that grants permission. (2) Permission e-mail archival? I'd like to make sure the thread attached at the bottom of this email is saved in the case of any questions about permissions. (3) Source crediting in imports? Ok... this is sort of an import question, but how do we / should we credit each imported item with a link or tie to the appropriate use statement / contributor? If so, is there a convention for this tagging? e.g. source:address="City of Seattle Master Address File"; source:address_url:" data.seattle.gov"; source:address_file:" https://data.seattle.gov/dataset/Master-Address-File/3vsa-a788" I realize this could be stored in a changeset marking, but that seems fairly obscure & more difficult to find for the average bear than just tagging the various points, etc. Thanks, Jeff ================================ ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Berry, Neil <neil.be...@seattle.gov> Date: Fri, Nov 30, 2012 at 10:49 AM Subject: RE: Terms of Use of Seattle City Open Data for OpenStreetMaps To: "j...@gwhat.org" <j...@gwhat.org> Cc: "Blood, Bruce" <bruce.bl...@seattle.gov>, "Spear, Charles" < charles.sp...@seattle.gov> Jeff, Thanks for your inquiry and by posting the Source Data disclaimer, you will meet the requirements (Seattle’s, not King County’s by the way). I’m familiar with the Open Street Map project (a GIS guy myself) as well as an Open Data advocate, so go for it! Let me know when you’ve added the data so I can take a look! ** Thanks and good luck!* *Neil Berry data.settle.gov team City of Seattle Department of Information Technology 206-386-1125 ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jeff Meyer <j...@gwhat.org> Date: Thu, Nov 29, 2012 at 1:24 PM Subject: Terms of Use of Seattle City Open Data for OpenStreetMaps To: open.d...@seattle.gov Hi - I'm writing to ask about the specifics of the terms of use of Seattle's open data found at: data.seattle.gov. The OpenStreetMap community is currently making a push to add addressing information to its maps. (For example, here's part of Leschi: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=47.596021&lon=-122.289757&zoom=18&layers=M ). I'd like to import the Seattle address information from seattle.gov into the OpenStreetMap system, but I want to be sure to comply with the requirement to include the appropriate disclaimers (if necessary). Other municipalities and governments in the United States have agreed to have OpenStreetMap include disclaimers like this on this page: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contributors#United_States Would placing Seattle's disclaimer on this page meet Seattle's requirements for reuse of King County's source data? Thanks, Jeff Source Data Applications using data supplied by this site *must include the following disclaimers on their sites:* "The data made available here has been modified for use from its original source, which is the City of Seattle.
