PDX-OSGEO is pleased to announce our intent to import the Portland, Oregon area building footprints and addresses into OpenStreetMap.
The detailed proposal is here: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Portland,_OR_Bldg_import , and you can find the code to prepare the data for import here: https://github.com/pdxosgeo/pdxbldgimport . Brief Summary: Data are provided by Metro, the Portland regional planning authority. These Metro (RLIS) datasets are made available under ODbL, see: http://www.oregonmetro.gov/sites/default/files/Open_Database_and_Content_Licenses.pdf. Moreover, one of the reasons why Metro staff chose this license was to help make it compatible with OSM imports. The datasets: - Building Footprints: http://rlisdiscovery.oregonmetro.gov/?action=viewDetail&layerID=2406 - Address points: http://rlisdiscovery.oregonmetro.gov/?action=viewDetail&layerID=656 While PDX-OSGEO is organizing the import, it is a joint effort of PDXOSGEO, MaptimePDX, City of Portland staff, Metro GIS staff, and other local OSM contributors. Your feedback is welcome and encouraged! Regards, Rafa Gutierrez [email protected] OSM user: geografa
