Hi all,<br>
<br>
I've been looking at <a href="http://data.australia.gov.au/127">http://data.australia.gov.au/127</a>,
which contains all the national parks, state forest, conservation areas
and so on in Queensland. If no-one else had been doing anything with
this, I'd been thinking about adding it to OSM.<br>
<br>
Current practice seems to be tagging them all as boundary=national_park,
regardless of whether they're National Parks or other things like State
Forests. Would adding national_park=state_forest and similar to the
tags be a good idea?<br>
<br>
There's also a bunch of things like "resource reserves" and "timber
reserves" inside the parks, any good suggestions about how to tag those?<br>
<br>
<br>
This would obviously be a manual piece-by-piece upload, since it would need
merging with existing data there's interesting things like river/road
names we can pull out (because it has the road reserves marked). A converted file with most of the attributes cleaned up is at <a href="http://www.sunsetutopia.com/qld_parks.osm.bz2">http://www.sunsetutopia.com/qld_parks.osm.bz2</a>
if anyone wants to look, but it still needs a lot of merging of polygons and the like<br>
<br>
