<div dir="ltr">Abdullah,<br>
<div>Please review the Import Guidelines [1] to help you attain your goal. The process is pretty simple. Just verify that the data can be imported into OSM with no licensing restrictions, that it is suitable for import into OSM and how you plan to do the import.
The first requirement is to ensure that the source license doesn't preclude importing into OSM. I've run across sources that look good on the surface but hidden in the fine print are obstacles to importing. The data you describe seems very suitable for import.
The last piece, how you are going to import the data is for you to describe your process. For example how you are going to deal with existing data or how is the source data converted into data that has appropriate OSM tags. It also includes what user names
will be used for import. Note, a unique user name is required for imports.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This sounds like a lot of work but going through the process will actually help you with the import. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Let us know if you have any questions or need help.</div>
