Hi,
As others have said, we can't give advice without seeing the data.
From your description, it sounds like someone manually traced some
aerial imagery to make some input for a programme, and now you want to
import that data to OSM, right?
In future, why not just trace things in OSM directly? You can extract
your building data from OSM if you want your data back out. The data
will already be in OSM, so it won't need to be "imported". I don't know
what tools you used, but JOSM has powerful building drawing tools (which
can do round objects too). Just an idea for future projects.

Hello all,
This is my first attempt at a bulk import to OSM.
A MSc student in the Mapping: Culture and GIScience Research Group
<https://www.seed.manchester.ac.uk/geography/research/groups/mcgis/> at
the University of Manchester has manually digitised a set of
*4,381* huts in northern Uganda as part of a machine learning project to
help us to identify huts (this was the training set). We would like to
donate this dataset to OSM, and if approved will likely do so via JOSM -
I will undertake this work myself. The dataset is currently a shapefile.
The dataset was manually digitised from a imagery donated by Digital
Globe <https://www.digitalglobe.com/> / because/there was no OSM content
in the area covered by the imagery, meaning that there should be no
conflation / duplication issues.
We are trying to improve the map in northern Uganda as part of our work
to provide prosthetic limbs to victims of Major Limb Loss (MLL)
following the 1986-2005 conflict with the LRA
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord%27s_Resistance_Army>, and have held
a series of mapathons in support of this <http://huckathon.org/>.
The Wiki Page for the import (currently just containing the above
information) is located here:

If you have any comments or require any further information, please do
let me know.
Thanks very much,
Thanks,
Jonny.
