thanks, this is encouraging
in relation to charging stations this has already raised questions: * the data is sourced via various providers, so licensing will likely require several parties to be involved * the data includes an attribute relating to taxi/public use which could raise issues relating to access * the data contains likely duplicates of stations already on osm; looking at both tfl and osm data together<http://geojson.io/#id=gist:joelondon/a107aba6886542708194c43d1921a245&map=10/51.5685/-0.1394> likely duplicates can be seen for example along Southwark Street SE1, we can use gis to investigate stations based on proximity to those already mapped presumably these questions affect all kinds of open data release, so it will be good to get used to dealing with such matters joe ________________________________ From: Tom Chance <t...@acrewoods.net> Sent: 13 March 2019 08:48:51 To: Joseph Leach Cc: talk-gb-london@openstreetmap.org Subject: Re: [Talk-gb-london] bulk importing london open data to osm Hi Joe, This would be great. Welcome to the list. I used to work at the GLA (2009-16) and am glad to see you proposing this. Others will have a better idea of the process, but I'd think a first step would be to create a wiki page and set out the datasets you have, indicating for each one any licensing conditions/issues, what fields you'd import and a check on the current data already existing. On the latter point, for example, there are already quite a few charging stations mapped (https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/GVx) and we wouldn't want to duplicate those with your import. You can either go through them one by one, deleting duplicates from your dataset before importing (or merging data to add new fields), or stick the dataset up and invite people to manually check and copy across each charging station.
