Bonjour Adam - and all,
 
Needs to fix something?  So far...
 
Toponymy  - too many spaces along with cardinal direction: 
It seems to be a problem with some of the original BC data.  I will log it to 
appropriate authorities to have the source corrected. No program fixes needed. 
It will have to be done by local mappers when necessary.
 
Toponymy - Derived from NHN data:
When toponyms becomes available in NHN data, they are included in the next 
Canvec release - usually within less than 6 months
 
Reefs - duplicate way tagged natural=water:
In Canvec Product, a reef creates a hole in the surrounding water area. I did 
not changed the Canvec data model, except for addressing schema. If you use the 
duplicate way tagged natural=water, it should be to define an inner polygon in 
a Multipolygon relation.  I would suggest to check the rendering for each 
scenario - even if we are not supposed to map for the rendering...
 
Coastline - changing natural=water for natural=coastline for coastal water:
It all depends on the definition of coastal water! The Canvec data is derived 
from GeoBase NHN.  If something is identified as a coastal water body in NHN 
product, it will be tagged natural=coastline in Canvec.osm. If not, it will 
tagged as natural=water. No fixes need.
 
Cheers,
 
Daniel

@Daniel: Not fixing the triple space thing that goes along with cardinal 
directions?

@All: Reefs are currently being made with a duplicate way marked as 
natural=water. Is this necessary? I'm not experienced with tagging maritime 
objects.

A while ago, Sam asked about having natural=water changed to natural=coastline 
for coastal waters, but I see it isn't fixed yet.

When Yan did the NHN nl_flow conversion, he decided to put the name data into 
name:1, his reasoning being that NHN sl_water and NHN waterbody also have the 
name tags, and those would eventually be imported, and the name tags could come 
from those (and just double checked against the nl_flow name:1). Now there's 
talk of not doing NHN since it's all included in CanVec. The current samples 
from Daniel don't have names on the hydrological features (at least the 
Vancouver 092G06 area), however. Is more NHN data going to be included in 
future CanVec data, or should names be copied over from nl_flow?

Adam

        Bonjour à tous,
         
        The Canvec.osm Product engine is ready to launch.  I have used it to 
create a new version of the sample files.  
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/CanVec
         
        Have a look at them and check if everything is as expected.  If there 
is no problem detected until next week, it should be turned ON on monday 
morning (10-07-05).
         
        Cheers,
         
        
        Daniel
