An EU-driven example about interoperability can be seen at http://www.paikkatietoikkuna.fi/web/en/map-window It is a pilot implemantation about what Inspire directive calls view services. Some rought OSM data from Geofabrik shapefiles are also included, on layers Transport networks - OpenStreetMap and Buildings - OpenStreetMap buildings. OSM data has a scale limit, zoom in enough and data appears but there are not many buildings outside the Helsinki district. GetFeatureInfo - the "i" tool works on these layers. Interoperability does not need to mean that everything that exists needs must be imported into OSM. _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
