Again, one of the most important things that might be said (in talk-us) about "State Open Data" is that there are at least fifty different sets of rules. "Check your state laws and county practices" remains excellent advice. Yes, it can be complex, but if in a state like California, we're in p

Re: [Talk-us] State Open Data

Thank you very much for these additional clarifications, Brian. It may take years, it may take several court cases, it may take fifty state legislatures and courts and federal appeals and circuits to assert this, it may take Attorneys General educating county clerks who try to assert copyright

Re: [Talk-us] State Open Data

I'm interested in this subject. An issue is that the copyright might be owned by the government entity that created it, even if the records are open for the public. If something is public record in California, does that also mean that it's not copyrighted by the government entity that created it?

Re: [Talk-us] State Open Data

Adam, Thanks for adding Vermont. At some point I'd like to do like you did with surfaces. One of the problems I run into is that every agency seems to have a different list of surfaces. We'd should probably try to create a conversion chart to map different names into OSM surface types. For exampl

I've added Vermont's center-line info to the spreadsheet. As someone who does a lot of filtering of OSM roads based on surface, exposing surface info to a broader group of editors would be a fabulous win. Thanks for heading in this di

Maryland’s Transportation Basemap is already availability in iD and JOSM as an imagery source. We also have a slew of open datasets including centerline and speed limits. I’ll take a look at the doc and add some. http://data.imap.maryland.gov/datasets?q=transportation Kudos on getting this togethe
