Hi, Patricia: You basically have to follow the import guidelines [1].
That means you have to, first make sure that the data license is ODbL compatible or get a permission from the copyright holders to import the data into OSM. Then you have to contact the Australian OSM community (Mailing list here: [2]) and discuss there. If the idea gets good acceptance, then all the import process has to be written in a wiki, and finally discuss all that in the imports list, to get a final review by the overall OSM community.
It may look discouraging, but it's not that difficult if you are really interested. I am sure there will be people who will guide through the process. And all those rules are there to prevent bad undiscussed imports, some of which we are suffering after years the were done.
Cheers, Rafael. [1] http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines [2] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au On 17/03/17 01:50, BYRNE, PATRICIA wrote:
To Whom It May Concern, I work for a rail operator in NSW Australia and we are currently exploring the idea of importing some of our corporate rail, signal and track speed GIS data to open rail map that would cover the greater Sydney region. At this exploratory stage, I was wondering if you could provide us with details about the steps required to import this data and sample data schema so we can match our data to this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
