Currently we are comparing different released sources. For example we have a source for Building and Addresses which has unique objects. While this specific datasets has only aggregations of buildings. Another example is streetname labels: <http://mirror.openstreetmap.nl/kadaster/nwb-top10-labels.gif> TOP10 = Cadastre NWB = National Road File So it seems that Government offices are not integrated theirself. And no, there are no shared attributesid's. Thus I am contacting both offices if we could integrate the data with eachother, forming: linked open data. > I can't yet imagine what it will mean for the OSM project in > Finland. I'm hoping that something could spin out of this kind of massive data availability where 'fix errors' is the new 'Share Alike'. No need for database rights etc., because it is obvious: everyone can make the map better, and it is backed by the government that you already paid for to do so.
