We have gotten permission to use a dataset containing active kindergartens in Norway (about 6000 nodes) for import/conflation to OSM. I have prepared this dataset for import into OSM, and have had contact with the local OSM community.
Unfortunately the lat/lon data is very variable, while most of the positions are very good, sometimes they are 100 meters wrong, and other times clustered in the middle of the postal code. The import will therefore be done by people with local knowledge and conflation will be done manually. (This means we will probably never reach 100% coverage in the foreseeable future). The dataset contains (among other things) contact:* information. To keep this up-to-date I have written a script that looks for changes in the official dataset. This script does not overwrite any modified openstreetmap values, a key-value is only modified if the previous opensteetmap data agrees with the previous official value (see link below for details). Have a look at the wiki page: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:no-barnehage:nsrid and let me know if you have any inputs or objections. We could possibly use the POI_Importer mentioned on this list, to make the manual conflation simpler, but I guess that is another thread, -- Øystein Bjørndal _______________________________________________ Imports mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/imports
