Cool idea :)
(i don't actually use validator) as i know its not all correct
'validations', but i should probably take iniciative and work to fix
it :)
Anyway, please do describe the 'errors', so we can go through the list
and see what Daniel the CanVec product team can possably fix.
I don't see it as a 'pain' to fix, since we need local area mappers to
help validate the data. But yes, if their is stuff like
'unclaSsified', it all helps remove the need to create a 'CanVec
cleanup Bot' sometime down the road.
Cheers,
Sam

I did a simple test of opening a file from 092G02 zip and hit Upload
in JOSM (didn't actually upload, of course). There's a bunch of
errors from the validator plugin. I think it'd be good to fix those in
the converter, otherwise it'll be a pain to resolve manually.

Opened up 092G06.
highway=unclassified is misspelled. The 092G06 data has
highway=unclasified
(with one 's').
footway bridges appear to be duplicated on top of the non-bridge footway
that they are a part of. In other words, a [highway=footway] will continue
the entire length of the path (including the bridge), and there is a
second
way [highway=footway;bridge=yes] where only the bridge is.
cardinal direction modifiers have 3 spaces after them (eg. West 8th
Avenue). I'm not sure what the standard is for OSM, since the wiki
doesn't
seem to talk about it.
railway/road intersections don't have a common node. There is also a very
long rail tunnel that runs from beside the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge
down
to near the intersection of Trans-Canada Highway and Willingdon Avenue,
but
this tunnel appears to be missing from Canvec.
(as a side note: Canvec has the bridge for Trans-Canada going over Burrard
Inlet called Hwy 1;Second Narrows Bridge;Trans-Canada Highway;TransCanada
Highway {note the Second Narrows Bridge part}. It should actually be
called
Ironworkers Memorial Second Narrows Crossing and the rail bridge beside
it
is Second Narrows Bridge. See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ironworkers_Memorial_Second_Narrows_Crossing)
Other data that I see in error is the standard old source problems
(buildings that have since been constructed/demolished, especially in the
rapid construction that happens at Univ. BC), streams/rivers not having
names (but that was expected).
It's nice to see that highway=*_link is being used. It was a pain trying
to
figure those out with NRN.

Bonjour!
Before the Canvec.osm production starts, I have produced complete NTS
datasets for samples previously offered - actually I have expanded the
samples to cover the entire NTS tile and add 092G06.
Each NTS dataset have been tiled using a quadtree algorithm - a nice
example
of the result is 092G06 ! The .osm subtiles are zipped all together.
We
are still using WinZip but we might eventually move to gzip or bzip.
Have a look!
And, by the way, can you make sure everything is still OK with the
data?
Wonderful news, Daniel! And congratulations.
I'll take a look but am slightly {natural=wetland; wetland=swamp}ed,
right now. Is it helpful if I have a look next week?
