I have approached the NSW Government and have received permission for<br>
OpenStreetMap to use specified data from Land and Property Information<br>
NSW.<br>
<br>
I have added the appropriate attribution in the Contributors page of the<br>
wiki under New South Wales Government data and it includes a link<br>
("explicit permission") to a transcription of the correspondence<br>
received, so that the details of the specified permission and requested<br>
attribution can be scrutinised.<br>
<br>
I do not have the skills to import whole datasets safely but it is my<br>
intention to utilise individual items of data where I can do so when<br>
editing OSM. I also recognise the dangers in importing data on a<br>
wholesale basis, for example the official NSW suburb boundaries (as<br>
shown in LPI data) are not the same as the ABS approximations which have<br>
already been included in some places and there would be scope for<br>
serious conflict of data if this particular LPI dataset were to be<br>
imported without a lot of care.<br>
<br>
Is there anything else that needs to be done in regard to appropriate<br>
publication of permission in the wiki?<br>
<br>
I trust other users editing the New South Wales map will be interested<br>
in this new (and very rich) source of data.<br>
