Re: [OSM-talk] The French Corine Import has started
Hi Emilie, Apologies for not replying in French - although I have an interest in what you're doing, I don't have the language skills to speak to you about it natively. I'm very pleased to see that the Corine data import is going forward and am looking forward to seeing the results when it's complete. At my place of employment we make some use of OSM (see [1] for example), including in France, and we are considering using it to a much greater degree in the future. We are having ongoing discussions, however, about OSM completeness surveys - in short there are people who want to use OSM but want to be able to be explicit about what areas are covered and which are not. Which seems fair enough... I was wondering if the Corine data import could give us such statistics for France. Is it possible to say, for examples, how many polygons exist that are tagged landuse:residential that don't overlap a way tagged highway:residential ? Is this the sort of thing other people see value in? Regards, Joseph [1] http://mapdata.thehumanjourney.net/office.html 2009/9/27 Emilie Laffray emilie.laff...@gmail.com: Hello, I am sending a quick message to mention that the French import of Corine has started. We created an user for the occasion: http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/CLCF06 The polygons are already starting to appear all over France, since we are uploading polygons by polygons. The import will take about a week to complete. The final green light was given by the French community after reviewing some mapnik overlay and review of the logic used for the calculation of overlaps. The maximum size for a way is 2000 nodes. I hope you will enjoy looking at France and see polygons appearing as much as we do currently. This is the first phase of the import. We are importing only polygons with little overlaps with existing OSM geometries. The scripts will be published this week. The goal of this import was to minimize any impacts on the user who have been working hard in completing the map of France. The second phase will be the use of a web interface to allow individual users to import polygons that were not imported manually. The interface will be made public once the main import will be finished.

AFAIK a bot is removing these things from the TIGER data in the US right now. I would suggest to put attribution in the changeset; you can then be very specific without filling up the database with vast amounts of duplicated data. Plus, if a way is later changed manually by someone, they often forget to remove or amend the source tag if it is placed on the way. The current TIGER changes are a different matter though; there, import and attribution information is removed from the nodes because it is already on the ways.

But if we move the attribution (which is a legal statement we must insert) into the changesets, it disappears in the exports and planet dumps. If you have a solution for that, we will take it.

And I would say it is normal if the original landuse is improved by local survey. It is not if the landuse polygon is not modified at all. It is not easy. But I still make a difference between some attributions missing and no attribution at all in exports and dumps for the 170.000 polygons.

Re: [OSM-talk] The French Corine Import has started
I think the user speaks for itself, you can look at the history if you want to know where the data came from. But I think there should be a tag like on the tiger data which indicates if the data was reviewed locally, to prove it is valid.
