Hello I am working with tools used by a large number of UK councils, rather than us maintain separate data on local government assets (libraries, public toilets, contact centres, etc), we should like to hook in to Open Street Map to use its data and help maintain it.
So I'd like to do two things: 1. Overlay on the Open Street Maps we already use (see the rather small example within this report <http://reports.esd.org.uk/Reports/14> we generate) assets of types selected by users. We can either do this by switching on the relevant OSM layers or by downloading the data and overlaying it on a map. Note that maps are usually for a single local or fire authority. 2. Provide an interface whereby local authority officers can update existing assets and add new ones to directly to Open Street Map via a simple dialogue that we provide. We can introduce some validation on who does this. I'd like to explore the feasibility of doing 1 and 2 above and whether we are safe doing 2 without any suggestion that we might impair the quality of OSM data. I'd really appreciate any feedback by email or ideas as to whom I should contact and how. Thanks in advance Mike
