Thanks for the advice.

Do you mean these should go *only* on the change set?

I'm not sure what you mean. The 'name' tag will identify them...but I
guess you meant something else?

Providing that all features are in multi-polygon relations, no area tag
should be needed?

Hi Ian,
Thanks for posting to the list.
- "Forest Reserve" does not seem to be an established value for protection_title
- Don't include DPIPWE:RES_STATUS, DPIPWE:MANAGE, DPIPWE:ACT,
DPIPWE:IUCN, DPIPWE:ENVIRON,
- Definitely don't include DPIPWE:AREA_HA.
Its not OSM policy, but I suggest that as a rule of thumb, that we
should not be introducing data into OSM via an import that does not
already have an established tagging system. If needed, the prefixed
data, can be correlated back to the original source file by the name
feature. Just because it is in the shape file does not mean we want it
in OSM.
- end_date=*, is not needed unless you have an actual end date.
- Make sure start_data,source:date is really ISO formatted in source data.
- Put your static tags on the change set.
- I don't see any tags that actually identify the features being imported?
Most importantly, you have a RES_CLASS table. Each one of those should
be mapping to tags. For example,
Conservation Area -> landuse=conservation (even through this tag is deprecated
National Park -> http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/National_park
etc, etc,
- You might need an area tag on some of these features?
- Do we have any of these features already in OSM? If so, you need to
deal with them, and not just import over them.
- You should make a sample OSM file available to the list. There are
all kind of issues that might pop up during the actual translation.
- Have you used http://neis-one.org/2013/01/oooc/, to contact the
local mappers, and get them involved?
- The OSM file might be over the 50,000 element limit. You may need to
break this up into smaller chunks.
Don't be discouraged, imports are always a lot of work!
Thanks
Jason.

Hi All,
I wanted to give people a heads up about what I'm currently doing
and planning to do with a dataset containing national parks and
conservation areas within Tasmania, Australia.
I've setup a Wiki page with more info here:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tasmania_Parks_Import
I'd appreciate feedback from anyone on the list, particularly regarding
the mapping of tags from the original source to OSM (I've documented a
proposed mapping on the wiki page).
I do apologise for not jumping on the mailing list *before* I started
uploading data. Hopefully this hasn't caused anyone a problem. I will
refrain from any further uploads until I've given people a chance to
comment.
A complete dump of all data I've uploaded so far can be gotten using
XAPI by searching for source="Tasmanian Reserve Estate Spatial Layer 2012"
Ian.
