Hi, I work in the property valuation industry, and have a strong interest in mapping buildings, leisure areas like swimming pols or tennis courts and more...
How did you sell the idea of mapping buildings in your recent project? I have done what I can, but it is a hard slog to map my own city (adelaide), let alone most metro areas - australians dont seem as interested. I am looking at mashing up osm data with psma data sets to answer real world questions, but it seems like I am out on my own here. Are there others in gov using the geo commons?
