I am working on getting the Benton GIS buildings data into the right
shape to do a mass import.
I have not done an import before so I am looking for comments.
At this point I have done lots of processing for fun learning PostGIS
but I think the building footprint tags will be relatively minimal.
I also have address point data which I will be loading and think the
more advanced tagging (situs etc) belongs there.
building=yes
attribution="Benton County, Oregon GIS services"
source="Buildings shapefile, 11 May 2013"
I have yearbuilt and bedrooms=N in the parcel data but can't connect
that to the building so I will probably leave it out. Likewise I can't
positively determine which building is residential.
I have names for every building on OSU campus but might exclude that
area because it's already got buildings in OpenStreetMap. Will just
double check that it's correct.
Does anyone have an opinion on the minimal size I should pull in? My
data includes sheds and outbuildings that are very small. I was thinking
of cutting it off at 200 sq ft since buildings smaller than that do not
require permits. (My 6x8 greenhouse and 6x6 shed are in the database
which is derived from air photos)
Comments in the Wiki say importings of parcels is "bad" but don't have
any comments as to WHY that's bad. (It's TBD) If I knew why I would
update the Wiki.
