The state of Vermont has boundaries in OSM for only a small fraction of its towns. I have received explicit permission from VCGI[1] to import their semi-authoritative and very well maintained boundary data[2]--which would otherwise be under too ambiguous of a license--into OSM.
This got dropped on the floor for over a year, but I finally got time to work on it this weekend.
My current progress is a file with all the towns, which you can view at http://www.uvm.edu/~aguertin/osm/vermont5.osm .
The shapefile from VCGI was converted with ogr2osm, and overlapping ways were split and converted to relations in JOSM (JOSM's validator made this much easier than I expected).
I currently have boundary=administrative on the relations representing each town, and nothing on the member ways. There doesn't seem to be complete consensus on whether member ways should also be marked boundary=administrative, with it being inconsistently applied in the areas of neighboring states I checked. I decided to not duplicate the information.
Villages and county boundaries need to be added before it will be ready for upload, and a wiki page will still need to be created.
Any comments? --Andrew _______________________________________________ Imports mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/imports
