(Maybe tonight.) It's worth noting that the NYSDEC data sets listed under https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Potential_Datasources#Statewide are also hosted at gis.ny.gov and fall under the same rubric. (The obsolete metadata are still present, by the way - but it appears that the only part of the metadata that actually gets updated is the calendar date of the most recent update.) I'm sure, for instance, that 'Microsoft Windows XP version 5.1 (Build 2600) Service Pack 3', is no longer the native data set environment! It might also be worth noting that https://gis.ny.gov/gisdata/inventories/details.cfm?DSID=430 (New York State Historic Sites and Park Boundaries) has been used extensively in revising and correcting state park boundaries, which were also compared with what mappers had already mapped, with the data from county GIS systems, and with data from adjoining mapped parcels. For instance, Harriman, Bear Mountain, and Storm King state parks share boundaries with West Point and with the NGO-owned-and-operated Black Rock Forest. Hudson Highlands State Park shares a boundary with Camp Smith. Moreau Lake State park shares a boundary with a brownfield [a closed state prison] and with a small DEC parcel. John Brown Farm State Historic Site borders the Lake Placid Olympic ski complex and the Saranac Lakes Wild Forest. In some cases, _no_extant GIS system had the correct boundary, and an alignment was created specifically for OSM: https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/ke9tv/diary/42951 illustrates the process for one of these. In other cases, more information was needed, so boundaries were intentionally left unconflated and their inconsistencies unresolved - the border between the Allegany Indian reservation and Allegany State Park is one of these. Since everything was redrawn when I reworked the NY State Parks, I didn't call that one an 'import' - it was manual editing with reference to multiple (OSM and external) data sources. -- 73 de ke9tv/2, Kevin
