Hello,
A few comments for the proposed UNICEF import - Id suggest import=yes on the changeset instead of type=import - school:cycle is undocumented and doesnt have an obvious meaning. - man_made=borehole is undocumented and virtually unused. Is there nothing better suited? - Our tagging scheme for health facilities is a mess. The import tagging for health_facility:*=* looks as reasonable as possible given this. The WRI data is more complicated, and you might want to consider doing the UNICEF import before it. - The license is stated as CC-BY-SA 2.0 in one place and ODbL 1.0 / DbCL 1.0 in another - There are more layers on the WRI site than listed on the wiki page. It would be good to be clear about what is and is not being considered for import - There isnt a license on the WRI page - You mention having the users delete the undesired attributes at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import_CAR_WRI_Data#Workflow. You should do this as part of the data conversion. I havent looked at the data itself yet, but in both cases the types of objects proposed are useful ones (health facilities, schools, water, roads and other basic features) From: Séverin MENARD [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, April 15, 2013 5:19 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Imports] Import of UNICEF health facilities data for Central African Republic Hi, As part of the <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Central_African_Republic> WikiProject in Central African Republic and the HOT support to the political crisis the country is facing (blogpost to come starting an official HOT activation), I completed the preparation of the <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/CAR_Imports> UNICEF datasets to be imported into OSM, involving Health facilities, education facilities and WASH objects covering more or less the occidental part of the country. Our aim is to import these objects (obviously through specific OSM accounts) after having checked their location one by one on the Bing Imagery. As Filip wrote, we would be pleased for any question, suggestion for improvements regarding our methodology: * the tagging transformation. Personally some of the tags do not please very much * the workflow <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import_CAR_UNICEF_WASH#Workflow> , especially how the potential inaccuracy can be informed Sincerely, Severin On Thu, Mar 28, 2013 at 10:49 AM, Filip Rosenkranc <[email protected]> wrote: Hi everyone, we are coming back to you with a proposition to import UNICEF data for health facilities for half of the Central African Republic. We obtained the data during our EUROSHA mission in CAR which had to end prematurely in December. We converted the data into an OSM format and created a wiki page describing the plan and all the details: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import_CAR_UNICEF_FOSA We are ready for questions, suggestions for improvements and opinions if the data can imported. If you would like to see an example of an OSM file to upload, I can send it to you by mail. If it should be placed on the Wiki page I will happy for a tip on which server I could place it. All the best For the EUROSHA CAR team Filip
