>>>> I do get the impression that the Cadastre import has it's own rules on how to use it, and those are only available in French, which irritates. You mean you would appreciate a translation of French Cadastre wiki page ? >>>> But it does need to follow the generic rules, which simply allow some tracking of where detail is sourced, and also the accuracy of that data. Every objects coming from cadastre have a tag source mentionning cadastre. This is mandatory and required by French Cadastre to be integrated in OSM >>>> We have been getting some information on their process, but I still don't understand some of the problems they are flagging as reasons for the practices? Could you precise which problems you do not understand so we can clarify ? >>>> import processes which are simply mapping a data source into a format that >>>> can be merged. Concerning French cadastre the manual work to merged the data is quite huge whereas for CLC import it was automatically done. Do you consider that this manual work is part of the import process or not ? >>>> I thinks that THIS is another misconception that is causing confusion. To avoid confusion and misconception is there somewhere an exhaustive clear and preceise list of objectives of Guidelines imports rules ? It would be good to have such a list to be sure that we discuss about the same things and the same goals. It would also allow to discuss on facts and technical points and perform an objective evaluation of strengh and weaknesses of various proposal. For the moment I`m not sure that everyone has the same vision of what we are doing and which goals we want to reach. >>>> Cadastre is at least two layers, the original raw data, and a processed view of that data from which objects are 'imported' into 'osm'. Both of those layers should be accessible for all of us to at least view The original data are available on cadastre website cadastre.gouv.fr The processed data are available town by town on cadastre.openstreetmap.fr The data after user manual processing in order to solve issues ( coherency with existing OSM data, artefacts not detectable by processing scripts etc ) are the one sent to OSM ( Data coming from cadastre avec source flag) Cheers Julien
