<p>I think that importing the number of floors and/or the height of the building is something really useful. Look at those pretty buildings in 3d renderings. Google folks love them. :-)</p>
<p>Time to establish one?</p>
<p>> What software are you using to convert, and what’s the license of the data?</p>
<p>I am in no way related to Ander, but I extensively know about his team's work because he has providing feedback for some months in the Spanish list. I told them, however, to follow the gidelines (which he is doing well, considering the import is not yet prepared) and inform at the international lists. Most Spanish mappers (including the most veterans) are aware and prividing feedback, corrections, opinions on data selection.</p>
<p>The data he is using is the one I announced early this year in the talk list about Spanish Cadastre release (nobody seamed to care much back then). It is not only compatible with CTs, but they are giving full rights ownership to any Spanish citizen, to do anything they want with the data set.<br>
It is mostly landuse and building shapes. Just to be clear: must be Spanish to download, any derivative work is yours and can be "exported".</p>
<p>The software is a custom made still-in-progress converter to osm xml format divided in 3000 or so areas (municipalities).</p>
<p>> Just a reminder, don’t forget to follow the import guidelines, which includes discussing with the local community and <a href="mailto:imports@openstreetmap.org">imports@openstreetmap.org</a>.<br>

We are working on an application to convert data from a goverment database called Catastro (which has been openned to all users little time ago) to osm format in order to do massive imports. This database contains all the urban and rustical info about landuse, buildings... and lots of interesting things to add like sub_stations, amenities or even streetlamps and trees.<br>
