Hello everyone,

I want to import multiple datasets, where each dataset is a list of a category of POIs, for example schools, hospitals or other public infrastructure. Each dataset is already publicly available and already published by national or federal states of EU countries via there open data portals, for example in Germany. From a technical perspective, the data will be cleaned (e.g. outdated data) and if required supplemented (e.g. missing coordinates, meta info) or fixed/merged (e.g. displaced coordinates or duplicates) in a review. At the end the data is in form of a changeset xml.

Licensing wise, at the moment each dataset is published with a different license. Judging from the compatibility matrix[3], some of them are not compatible, though for example Wiki/Contributors[4] states that in case of e.g. using CC-BY 4.0 i's already possible with special waivers. But I think this will easier to decide on a case-by-case basis, when I share the sources of the original data and the prepared changeset-data.

I've already read the wiki post on imports[1] and especially the guidelines [2]. Additionally I skimmed the existing imports in europe[4] and existing or requested permissions [5].

Quesions:
* Where or how do I upload/share the changesets for review with you, before uploading it to OSM? * Suggestion: When to create multiple wiki pages? Does grouping around the original publishing organization makes sense, especially when discussing about the meta data tags of a category of POIs is necessary? * Suggestion: I'll use a ref-tag when there is a designated column in the dataset. Additionally when there is a website to search for the ref number, then I will include (in the best case) a restful ressource. The source and source:meta Tags are used where appropriate.

I'm happy to answer any questions!

Best and thanks,
