Hi all, I have worked on the Geobase Canadian Geopolitical Boundaries. I took the prov_ab_p_geo83_e.shp file that contains the administrative areas: provinces and Territories and convert them as OSM boundaries. First, I prepared Geobase Geopolitical Boundaries - OSM map features<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GeoBase_Import#Geobase:_Canadian_Geopolitical_Boundaries>,
then I created FME Workbench to extract, transform and load the boundary polygons in xml/osm format. The results <ftp://ftp.cits.rncan.gc.ca/pub/nsprod/mg/osm/> can be seen with JOSM but it is very slow. The file is heavy, a lots of nodes (162305 nodes) to define the ways. For example, British Columbia boundary has 19673 nodes, Northwest Territories has 49189 ... I found it very difficult to process, very consuming in time and cpus. Comments are welcome. Not ready for an upload yet. Cheers, Michel
