Hi all,I've added a new page http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Canvec2osm as this will be the page that will describe the CanVec2osm import script.
I am using JUMP, and have the 092b06 shape zip file opened you can download your local shape file from here, just type in your area. http://geogratis.cgdi.gc.ca/geogratis/en/product/search.do;jsessionid=865AC815355E3DBE3FFE3DD7BDBBA90C?id=28954 As you can see from the screenshot, i have the file open, and am looking at BS_2010009_2 You can see the wiki chart http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/CanVec:_Buildings_and_structures as you can see, there are 3 different codes 2010422, 2010252, 2010022. which coorisponds to Educational building, Other, Arena respectifully. Im using the shp-to-osm script, which uses java.. different than the shp2osm script using python. (python is more confusing) So far, im able to convert the whole shape file to OSM, but not adding any tags. NID: This is where my argument for NID's come into play. Because it's possable to import OSM shape files to JUMP, i would then be able to see what features are duplicates, then just select what i need to, and convert to OSM. .. It looks like it's still being worked on.. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Convert_osm2shp_using_OSMLibrary_on_Ubuntu 'cause we use the automatch, when a new update of this file.. say 'educational building' gets updated, .. One thing thats pritty cool is that i can zoom in to the tofino, area.. and manually select those 'educational buildings' then i can save that as a new shape file, then run the shp-to-osm script, and create a standalone OSM file of just this. I then can add in more tags. (when physically being in the area, i can get the names of the buildings, and the uses) ,, and upload to OSM. So anyway, if anyone knows how to also export each of these fields, canvec:FID=* canvec:CODE=* canvec:VALDATE=* canvec:PROVIDER=* canvec:ID=* some shape files will have more fields, but this is the basics. and of course, importedby=canvecAcrosscanadatrails source=canvec2009 Cheers, Sam Vekemans Across Canada Trails
