Hello All, Sorry for cross posting. Copying Talk-GH.
Am Enock from Ghana. OSM contributor. I've read the import guidelines and know very well about them. Here is an issue I will like a bit of clarification and community's take on. Ghana has admin boundaries for districts, 216 of them.[1] Personally I think it should be available to the public at no cost or under any copyright since it has been created by a government agency. From data (mostly shapefiles) I've come across relating to this, there seems to be no valid metadata about what/who/when and Ghana's Open data portal[2] doesn't have anything on this either. Taking a look at this [3] and their respective sources as Wikipedia. My question here isn't this enough to go ahead and document an import of these districts of Ghana based on Wikipedia since there already exist data in OSM based on this? If yes or no, why and what do you recommend? Looking forward to your views on this. Best, 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Districts_of_Ghana 2. data.gov.gh 3. http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/s1e -- -Enock
