The data has been derived from an 2007 aerial image while Bing images at Lexington have been captured in 2012, according to Bing. This means you hereby propose an import of outdated data. Example: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/37.98484/-84.39793 The city dataset lacks lots of buildings there which are shown on Bing Aerial. (They look like being rather new) If you want do compare Bing and the shapefile at JOSM, first do a ogr2ogr -f "ESRI Shapefile" -spat -84.4333 37.969 -84.3799 37.9951 - -where "Imperv_Typ='Building'" DESTINATION_DIRECTORY/ Impervious_2007.sh p to reduce the file size and load it afterwards into JOSM using Open Data plugin. I think it would be better to use the shapefile as an additional source in combination with Bing imagery. You could set up a Mapserver (or an alternative like Geoserver) which serves a TMS or WMS map showing the buildings of the dataset. Mapper can use both Bing and the TMS/WMS together at the same time [1]. Setting up a WMS is rather simple . Adding only buildings and addresses just to be added to OSM does not add any value to OSM. It just increases the file size of the planet file. But the value of OSM increases if you not only add buildings but also other details (e.g. parking areas, traffic lights, pedestrian crossings etc.) while tracing buildings from the TMS/WMS and comparing them with the newer Bing image.
