Hi, We would like to import the rest of the ponds/lakes into Massachusetts. The import wiki is below.
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/MassGIS_DEP_Wetlands_Import_2013 - The data is public domain (all MassGIS data is public domain) - We are conflating via a script to avoid double imports - Simplifying the geometry to 1 meter in the script. - The source data geometry is very good as compared to Bing images. - About 1/3 of the state was imported already in 2010 from the same data source, minus the name tags. - It is about 2,800 ponds and lakes, and will fill out the rest of the state. The wetlands, rivers, salt marshes, etc are not being imported. - Tagged with natural=water, name=*, and sometimes water=reservoir - Sample OSM file linked to on the wki, nothing has been uploaded yet. - Source code linked to on the wiki. - Changes sets will get source and attribution tags. Please see the wiki page for details. If anybody has any issues/problems/objections, would like us to do something different, or would like to help, please comment! Thanks Jason. _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
