Hi there, I would like to discuss this import - see wiki at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/EEA:Nationally_designated_areas
The import was partially started for purposes of testing (with better or worse results) in the area of Czech Republic. So far I used following acccounts for it: http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Kozuch/edits http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Kozuch-EEA/edits Basically - I have learnt a lot from this first import attempts... had some problems with technical part mainly - now the plan is to use JOSM with few thousands nodes only and very small parts of data settings, which worked the best in my tests. All imput data was simplified in JOSM with simplify-way.max-error=1. Regarding the value of imported data - will depend on location most likely, but for most of Europe protected areas are rather poorly mapped I think and this should hepl a lot. As for CZE - we basically had very few mapping-data of this kind before the import... Tagging is a subject to further review. The plan is to wait some weeks after redaction before bigger chunks of data should be imported. The biggest problem I face now is not knowing what data from the potential import might be already present in OSM in other European countries... did not do a lot of research outside CZE yet... This dataset is hude and I dont intend a full-blown Europe-wide mass import, but rather local imports after current state-of-map research... everyone is welcome to help. Feel free to edit or discuss the wiki. Comments welcome.
