Hi everyone,<br><br>During this weekend some people of the Spanish community have been discussing in which cases would be suitable to import some things from Catastro to OSM.<br><br>Everything that is imported from Catastro will need to be approved by the Spanish OSM organizers and it will only be uploaded with a special account, one for each of the 50 provinces, created for such purpose ("catastro_" + the province's name).<br>
<br>It is compulsory for the uploader to know well the village he is uploading in order to be able to fix any conflict with the existing data and to complete Catastro's data for special buildings, amenities... Roads won't be imported from Catastro because they're much better in OSM, currently we will only focus on urban data (we will try to simplify a little bit more the rural data Cat2Osm2 exports).<br>
<br>Also, the files will need to be validated with JOSM and made in small pieces (one for each urban block/square).<br><br>We have made a test with a little urbanization from one of the Spanish list users for you all to see:<br>

<br>I would like you to take a look at it, to see if it looks suitable for some villages where there was no information previously.<br><br>Thank you to all.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2013/1/29 Jaime Crespo <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jynus@jynus.com" target="_blank">jynus@jynus.com</a>></span><br>

</div><p dir="ltr">The word in Spanish is more like "altered". It doesn't matter if we get a 100% equivalent. Because of law issues -unrelated to copyright- original files directly from source cannot be shared. However, any transformation -including file format- gives full copyrights to the author of the alteration, which effectively makes them "almost PD+attribution".</p>
<p dir="ltr">Law is strange, I agree :-)</p>
<p dir="ltr">He definitely can share the .osm.</p>
