Hi, the Land Registry of Viersen (NRW/Germany) gave us the names of Fieldareas (german=Gewannen) of Viersen. We want to import them with place=locality. (place with no population) There are 2900 places with names within the area of Viersen. The only disadvantage of the chosen tagging is the presentation of that names in Mapnik in an early zoom level (>=14) Nevertheless, this seems to be the best solution for that places but better suggestions are welcome.
The data from the Land Registry is released under the ODbL and CC by-sa license. The imports are also marked with source = Katasteramt_Kreis_Viersen A special user was generated also for import: http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Shape_Import_Viersen You can see an example of four places here: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=51.25254&lon=6.36924&zoom=16&layers=M ( An de Beginneplänk / Buyteerste Feld / Am Aachener Weg / Schlippesdell) The german documentation of the imports ( most of them, like the building, are already done) : http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Niederrhein/Viersen/Stammtisch/Import Best regards, Greg, Christian and the osm community of Viersen ( http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Niederrhein/Viersen/Stammtisch/Import ) _______________________________________________ Imports mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/imports
