<p class="MsoNormal">Dear all from legal-talk,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have the idea of using OSM data for an enrichment process in order to improve the attributive information of proprietary building footprints.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Let me briefly explain, what the purpose of using OSM for our enrichment process is.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are developing a data product for building footprints that is based on 3D-building data from the official German surveying authorities (there 16 of them) .<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The license of these data is not open, neither for the original data nor the data product we plan to produce.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">These original data are rather heterogeneous with respect to quality , quality not in the sense of geometrical correctness or completeness but in the sense of building function attributes (residential, official, hospital, etc.).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our Idea is to use OSM data in a quality improvement process for the building types, in combination with other processes like analyzing the shape and/or size of buildings.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">An example:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Suppose we have a building footprint from our data which has no information on the building type.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We now take the centroid of that building and analyze the underlying osm area information , which is, let’s say an industrial complex.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We would then assign the official code, let’s say ‘4711 (industrial)’ to that building.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Another example:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Again, suppose we have a building footprint of our data which has no information on the building type.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We would than take OSM amenity (point) information and check whether there are many shops (points) inside that building polygon.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We would then designate the building a shopping mall (provided a certain size criterion derived from the original data source is met) and assign it the code 1234 for shopping mall.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My question now is: if we enrich our data (with only underlying attributes, no geometry from OSM at all) with such a process using OSM data, is this then a produced work (or a collective database) or would I have to license my enriched
data product under the odbl, which I would not be allowed to do, because it would conflict with the license of the main data source?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The final data product itself is not intended for public use (e.g. on publicly accessible websites) or display, which is forbidden by the original license in the first place.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It will not have any osm information or reference to osm entries in the final data product.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have read the text here:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Open_Data_License/Horizontal_Layers_-_Guideline">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Open_Data_License/Horizontal_Layers_-_Guideline</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">in particular the last paragraph “Combining OSM data with proprietary data?”
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>…<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>But what happens in case a legal entity wants to combine OSM data with third-party data? Let's assume the third-party data is proprietary, e.g. a list of restaurants that was bought by the legal person with the right to publicly use
it, but of course not publicly release it.<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>….<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Unfortunately this question has not been answered yet.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Of course I am more than happy with acknowledging OSM as an additional data enrichment source.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would also be happy to support the OSM project.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Most importantly, I need to be on the safe side.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
