interessante progetto australiano in cui si invitano gli sviluppatori a lavorare sui dati del governo e creare nuovi tipi di visualizzazioni e integrazioni (mashup).
in italia, quando? :) ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Brendan Morley <[email protected]> Date: Sat, Oct 3, 2009 at 16:32 Subject: [Imports] Possible bulk import of 2.1 million property boundary data - "mashup australia" To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Cc: John Smith <[email protected]>, OSM Australian Talk List <[email protected]> Hi all importers and hangers on, This is an initial enquiry that spawns from a competition known as "mashup australia", (http://mashupaustralia.org/) introduced at http://gov2.net.au/blog/2009/09/30/your-invitation-to-mashupaustralia/ Note there are "$1,000 bonuses awarded for the data transformations": "For the Transformation Challenge: significantly enhance and/or open up for programmatic access at least one of the datasets provided for this contest in the process of building your mashup. This might be by building an API for your mashup to allow the extraction of enhanced, enriched mashed up data." (http://mashupaustralia.org/contest-rules/) Looks like we have at least two challenges: 1. Dump some shapefile data into OSM - for example the 2.1 million property lot data at http://data.australia.gov.au/152 could get somebody's attention 2. Work out who should get the cash from the clean sweep of the prize pool that would inevitably occur (we don't have an OSM foundation Australian chapter, I believe) Could / should OSM be holding data down to the lot level? I would say yes but I don't control the budget. Bonus challenge: deduplicate the adjoining lot boundaries if that would result in smaller storage sizes - mind you this would blow out the relationship count instead. Who can I follow this up with? I see you have a teleconference coming up but it's at 4:30am local time here (UTC+10). Brendan p.s. you can see another example of "data transformations" by pointing your WMS clients at a toy server I've set up which you can use to browse the 2.1m dataset.
