I'm interested in seeing buildings in ACT Australia imported into OpenStreetMap in line with the Import Guidelines <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines>.
At this stage I'm seeking buy in from the local community as well as feedback on the plan. The data is available from http://actmapi.act.gov.au/datadownload/ and is CC BY 4.0 licensed and the OSMF CC BY waiver has been completed https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:ACT_Government_20180314_Permission_to_Incorporate_CCBY_data_into_OSM.PDF . 1. Attribute Mapping The existing building classifications don't exactly line up with OSM building tags and this is something easy to contribute via survey so most buildings have the generic building=yes tag or building=residential tag. source:geometry=ACTMapi has been added to each feature. 2. Import Plan I've done some processing to the source data at https://github.com/andrewharvey/au-actmapi-osm-import the .osm file is at https://tianjara.net/data/act_building_footprints.osm.xz The import would use a dedicated imports account and not would either use the geometry replace tool in JOSM or not replace existing buildings. I'm keen for any feedback from the local ACT mappers.
