[OSM-talk] Potential Datasources - National Parks/Forest trails/roads/streams/rivers
Greetings, There are sparse trail maps for the Olympics in Washington state both the National Parks Service and National Forest Service have data available. The national park has an older but still mostly accurate trail data available at: http://www.onrc.washington.edu/clearinghouse/metadata/onp/onp_trails.htm I've already converted it to osm and am chomping at the bit to get it uploaded, I just don't want to step on any toes. To the potential data sources http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Potential_Datasources#US_National_Park_Service I've also added the NPS data clearing house link http://www.nps.gov/gis/data_info/ people would need to check to see that the data is NPS (or US Government) created--and thus public domain--but most of it is. Further, I would like to propose the creation of US-NPS and US-NFS import pages on the wiki that can be used to reference individual imports of the form US-NPS-OLYM (the feds use a pretty standard abbreviation for the different parks) and appended with _trails _roads _streams etc. of the general form (_shortname) Altnernatively creating a US-GOV import page and including data imported from all of the different agencies.

As a follow up question: Is there a preferred method for tagging nodes with a uuid/NID?
