Thank you Simon. I would be interested in chasing an appropriate
license to allow uploading this data. The way I read the license it
seems that the intent is that anyone can use the data for non-commercial
or commercial uses provided they attribute it correctly. I do not know
what OSM requires or who to ask. A clear answer would be nice.
I think I understand the limitations of the information. I was
specifically interested in boundary data, particularly for National
Parks and conservation reserves. While I admit the exact boundary can
sometimes be important, for the majority of map users I think naming the
reserve and roughly outlining the boundaries may be enough. I have
noticed that, while many of the reserves in Western Australia are named
in the OSM data there are lots that do not appear. I think that even
with the limitations of the MapConnect data set it could improve the
current OSM data set.
I did look at Ross's suggestion of the 2014 CAPAD data set. From my
initial look and my local knowledge it seems to be complete and more
current. Thanks Ross. The data set is fairly big so it needs to be
broken up to be useful.
Thanks all for your input
Warren

The data in Mapconnect can be up to 8 years old. It originally came from both
CAPAD and the states/territories, and was generalised to be consistent with a
cartographic map at a scale of 1:250,000.
CAPAD has come from the states / territories, and probably from the national
park authorities rather than the mapping agency. There will be differences.
I would also be keen to hear what the limitations in the CCBY licence is. If
you want to use the data in Mapconnect then I can chase up an alternative
licence/permission to use if the current license doesn't work.
Thanks,
Simon
