Re: [Talk-GB] Import of UK SSSI data

Hello all, It's been a while since I proposed this. Given that people didn't seem to think it was a good idea to import all the data, what I'll probably do is just import in a couple of areas that are personally known to me that I know are not listed at all on OSM. I'll post here once the areas

Re: [Talk-GB] Import of UK SSSI data

Thank you for everyone's input, I really appreciate it. This is an interesting project, but it probably doesn't make sense to take it any further unless it is going to be feasible and the outcome useful. Responses to some of Jerry's points: * The fact that some are mapped makes me a little sad,

Re: [Talk-GB] Import of UK SSSI data

My view on the licensing question: Very many geographic datasets published by UK public bodies contain data derived from MasterMap or other OS products used under the Public Sector Mapping Agreement. If the public body has published the data under the Open Government Licence, and includes OS

Re: [Talk-GB] Import of UK SSSI data

A few things: - A number of SSSI's are mapped as many are co-incident with various types of Nature Reserves, although sometimes there are minor differences in boundaries. For instance the SSSI

Hmmm, I see. I'll dig further into the licensing side of things before I go any further. Thanks for the pointers! On Sat, 16 Nov 2019, 16:28 Chris Hill, wrote: > I think there may be a problem here. The web page describing the data says > "© Natural England copyright. Contains Ordnance Survey

Re: [Talk-GB] Import of UK SSSI data

I think there may be a problem here. The web page describing the data says "© Natural England copyright. Contains Ordnance Survey data". Many public bodies suffer from the viral OS copyright problem, where the data is based on OS mapping data and OS have claimed copyright over the geodata

Re: [Talk-GB] Import of UK SSSI data

You need to be a little bit clearer about the licensing, to avoid anyone getting shocked! "Freely usable" could mean many things... The arcgis page says the data are under the Open Government Licence. Cheers Dan Op za 16 nov. 2019 om 15:31 schreef Henry Bush : > > Sorry, yes, the source of the

Re: [Talk-GB] Import of UK SSSI data

Sorry, yes, the source of the data is the Natural England API: https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=f10cbb4425154bfda349ccf493487a80 https://naturalengland-defra.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/f10cbb4425154bfda349ccf493487a80_0/ The data is freely usable, so there shouldn't be any licensing

Re: [Talk-GB] Import of UK SSSI data

What is the source of the data you are planning to import? Remember wikipedia is not a useable source under OSM licensing terms. Phil (trigpoint) On Sat, 2019-11-16 at 15:12 +, Henry Bush wrote: > Hello all, > > (I've sent this to both the talk-gb and imports mailing lists) > > This is

[Talk-GB] Import of UK SSSI data

Hello all, (I've sent this to both the talk-gb and imports mailing lists) This is just a heads-up: I'm thinking about importing the data about UK SSSI areas into openstreetmap. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Site_of_Special_Scientific_Interest I've had a quick look at a few, and none of them
