HI Ewen, I can answer some of your queries
3 - Re the waiver - try this page - https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/GettingPermission 2 - I am not sure a track could be copyright-able unless it was solely on private/indigenous land. I have been involved in track management in Tasmania for years and whilst we have generally agreed that 'tracks' should be on maps we have also ensured that more remote 'pads and routes' were not on maps to maintain the recreational opportunity spectrum (track classifications from Wheelchair accessible to remote off track experiences). In this instance you will likely face a couple of issues - the changing location of the track depending on season etc and secondly, does it exist on the ground in any formal way (ie markers etc). If it does exist on the ground, on public land then I would say it could be traced into OSM (or from gps plots) on the general alignment. 3 - If it's on indigenous lands then I would certainly speak to the traditional owners to determine the level of invitation that they would like on their land. They may also have other ideas on what should be depicted as far as points of interest. A joint project with them would be ideal to determine all the correct tags on the track ways. I am assuming that you are talking about the Lurujarri Heritage Trail - http://www.goolarabooloo.org.au/where-is-it.html Cheers - Phil -----Original Message----- From: Ewen Hill [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, 18 August 2018 12:03 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [talk-au] Using data from traditional owners of the land / Current waiver form Hi, The people of the Goolarabooloo and Jabirr Jabirr countries around Broome developed a 90km walking trail to showcase their country. This was done 30 years ago and uses roads, beach, rock escarpments and overgrown trails. You are welcome to use the trail yourself but the country organises guided walks which are infrequent (3 or 4 a year of parts of the walk). I have sent the Goolarabooloo people a basic email offering assistance to them drawing the route themselves or offering to provide a waiver later however a few questions piqued my interest 1. Has anyone dealt with Aborignal elders to obtain knowledge before and was it successful? 2. Is a walk copyright-able or where does OSM sit when it comes to elders use of knowledge of country to construct a walk relatively recently where parts of the walk will be arbitrary depending on tide and season. 3. Can someone assist with the location of the current waiver form and process -- Sent from: http://gis.19327.n8.nabble.com/Australia-f5416966.html _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
