That seemed sensible to me - my only preference was that it be done
through the rails object model rather than via direct SQL queries.
Maybe what we need is a ruby program to load an OSM file and insert
it into the database via the rails object model?

<pre wrap="">Sounds logical although if we want to allow general OSM users to upload
TIGER data themselves it would need a simple interface, so presumably it
would be logical to run it via a website form with the TIGER .osm files
already sitting on the server ready for use?

<pre wrap="">Well I hadn't given any thought to that level of automation - for
the AND data I was assuming it would just be done by hand.
Perhaps an upload system like for GPX files, where a daemon then
processes the queued files would be a good idea?

That would work. Perhaps better than someone simply requesting every county
be imported in one swoop!

I was also thinking of an one-time import job for the AND data. But
thinking about it, a more generic upload-import system <br>
would be good idea since there are more bulkimports to go: the already
mentioned TIGER data, but also the AND-China and AND-India. And I would
not be surprised if more datasets will come available in the near
future (Spain ?). <br>
