John,
Exprime tu simplement une opinion, ou as-tu vérifié les procédures d'import 
incluant correction des données et validé la qualité des données importées aux 
États-Unis ? Considères-tu la qualité des données dans la base OSM aux 
États-Unis comparable à ce qui s'est fait au Canada l'an dernier ? 

La qualité des données Microsoft peut sans doute varier selon divers facteurs 
dont la qualité et précision des données aériennes utilisées.
De mon côté, j'ai regardé du côté de Dallas, Texas. En consultant le 
gestionnaire de tâches US, il est possible d'y repérer les tâches créées pour 
cartographier des bâtiments.
https://tasks.openstreetmap.us/contribute?difficulty=ALL&statuses=ARCHIVED&types=BUILDINGS
Dans ces zones, j'ai constaté en général une bonne qualité des données.  Je ne 
connais pas les procédures utilisées, ni regardé le connu des fichiers de 
données Microsoft pour ces zones, mais la tâche ci-dessous montre un processus 
de validation où il était demandé d'orthogonaliser les 
bâtiments.https://tasks.openstreetmap.us/project/164#bottom

Well yes that is one opinion but we do have a range of opinions in 
OpenStreetMap and from the number of buildings that have already been imported 
into OpenStreetMap from Microsoft, there seems to be a large number in the US 
for example, it would appear there are those who disagree with you which is not 
surprising given the number of mappers.
To me the buildings are of more interest once they get enriched with more tags 
and the place that happens is in OpenStreetMap.  Streetcomplete I think is 
either the most popular editor these days or very close to it.  You can't add 
tags if the buildings are not in OpenStreetMap.  Yes you can display the 
outlines by using the Microsoft data but that does not show tags such as 
building type, building levels, etc etc. and streetcomplete is a tool that can 
be used to introduce OpenStreetMap to many people.
I think perhaps we should concentrate our efforts on the current import for the 
moment but I suspect that some Microsoft buildings will start to be imported in 
Canada even if they don't have an official import plan.

Hi John,

As stated before, I don't consider the Microsoft dataset being close to 
the minimum quality requirements I would expect from any automated 
building entry into OSM. If you just want to display buildings, you can 
download the MS dataset and use it right away - no need to import into 
OSM. I think, the MS dataset has value as proof of concept and to count 
the number of buildings in a given area (e.g. to estimate market size 
for roofers, estimate number of persons living there for desaster 
relief, etc.). I also think, when Microsoft feeds its algorithm with 
higher resolution data than they did (I don't recall, but I think they 
only used the regular Bing data) they will probably end up with building 
footprints that will meet our/my quality requirements for import into 
OSM one day.

For me, the value of OSM is having accurate information in terms of tags 
and geometry. Otherwise, we could join Wikimapia; they don't care too 
much about geometry accuracy but emphasize on content/tags of objects. 
Pretty interesting project, but different from OSM.

Cheers,
Tim

I can't resist.  Does this infer that for parts of the country without
Stat Can data we are happy to import Microsoft dataset buildings as is?
Or would we wish to wait until we have some more imports done before
looking at preprocessing them in some way first.

Thanks John

     case decision. However, I think it is important to keep tags and
     history
     of buildings already existent in OSM. This is how I would
     read/interpret
     the import guideline stated by Nate: "If you are importing data where
     there is already some data in OSM, then *you need to combine this data*
     in an appropriate way or suppress the import of features with overlap
     with existing data." (emphasis added by me)

     However, that just means, the import, hence, is nothing easy and could
     not be achieve quickly, I would assume. One way of making sure that
     this
     is dealt with diligently, would be setting the tasking manager to
     'experienced mappers only'. We would have to ask James, who is in
     charge
     of the Canada Tasking Manager, how to edit/set up the 'experienced
     mapper role' in the TM. It might be possible to feed in a list of
     mappers manually or to set a threshold of objects/changesets that they
     must have entered in OSM. However, maybe only mappers who feel
     experienced enough to handle the import would contribute to the TM
     project anyway and we let everyone judge on their own and don't
     restrict
     access.

     If we were to separate the new and overlapping buildings, I am also
     leaning towards Daniel's assessment. I would be afraid to cause more
     issues than by doing it all at once (with a reasonable tile size, of
     course).

     In the end, the main point of importing this specific dataset fulfils
     two purposes, in my opinion: first, to add missing buildings (if it
     were
     just for this purpose we could also use the much bigger Microsoft
     dataset), second, to get the best geospatial representation possible in
     our OSM database. That means, we defer from using the Microsoft dataset
     and use the much higher quality data from the ODB. This also means that
     we should replace already existing buildings (yet keeping tags and
     history) wherever the ODB footprint is more precise than the
     existing one.

     Just my two cents here,
     Tim
