Re: [Talk-ca] Nova Scotia imports, and boundary=land_area

Are you confusing the availability of Open Data with an import?  Most imports need plans but just because Open Data is available does not mean the license is compatible nor that it will be imported. My feeling is the wiki page lists open data and indicates if the license is compatible. We

Re: [Talk-ca] Nova Scotia imports, and boundary=land_area

The Canadian Federal Government Open Data License is one of the few that has been formally approved by the legal working group.  I would have preferred to see it released through the Treasury Board's Open Data portal that way there is no question about the license but I accept Alessandro's

Hi John, Looks like the wiki needs amending to only list open data with the correct > license either separately or a note added to each entry. what's the status of OGL-CA is it compatible or not, or compatible with some restrictions or only for some datasets? StatsCan just published building

Hi Janes, John and all, Sure, it will be up to the OSM community to discuss, decide and organize as deemed appropriate. The data are out there, released under one single open data lincese! (Open Government License - Canada) My hope is

Re: [Talk-ca] Open Database of Buildings / Base de données ouvertes sur les immeubles

I think on the OSM side we probably need to think this one through and get organised. In Ottawa on the first import we went through all the steps to do the import including getting agreement with the local mappers and we were very fortunate in having an organised team of competent local

Re: [Talk-ca] Open Database of Buildings / Base de données ouvertes sur les immeubles

We were actually talking about that on the osmcanada slack channel this morning. If we wanted to use said data it would have to be evaluated city by city not as a whole data source. There are providers(Ottawa, Yellowknife, Montreal for example) that are already pretty well mapped in OSM where

Re: [Talk-ca] Dartmouthmapmaker

I'm not sure how helpful that article would be, considering that it focuses on building tagging, but this user is primarily working on admin boundaries and highways. John, I'm surprised that you were able to successfully have a discussion with them. A number of other contributors have tried

Re: [Talk-ca] Dartmouthmapmaker

Being as gentle (though not local) as I can be, I continue to assert that our wiki for BC2020 in general and https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Canada/Building_Canada_2020#The_data_that_could_be_mapped as a specific section IN that wiki (calling attention to these tags, with

I've discussed the Open Data side with them but I think they could do with a bit of guidence on the tagging side. Could someone ideally more local than I point them gently towards map features and more standard tagging? I must confess my knowledge of tagging is a little limited to highways and
