Hi,<br><br>Regarding the attribution, it might be worthwhile to inform them that OSM is doing this for a number of other sources via the "source" tag.<br>Might be also interesting to inform them of other cities using "opendata" licenses (There a number of them in France).<br>
<br>They will probably ask for a legal representative of OSMF. See <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Foundation/Local_Chapters">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Foundation/Local_Chapters</a>. Someone is (was?) working on a local chapter for Belgium, apparently?<br>
<br>Thinking about it, Belgium has the notion of "Association de fait" (<a href="http://www.belgium.be/fr/economie/entreprise/creation/types_de_societe/associations/">http://www.belgium.be/fr/economie/entreprise/creation/types_de_societe/associations/</a>). It has no jurisdictional existence like an ASBL has, but, assuming OSMF endorsement, it might be a sufficient (and lightweight) way to act as a representative of the OSMF, which is a legal entity...<br>
<br>If I can do something to help (I' a brusseleer, too), don't hesitate.<br><br>- Chris -<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jun 1, 2011 at 11:51, Nicolas Pettiaux <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:nicolas@pettiaux.be">nicolas@pettiaux.be</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I am considering to recontact CIRB, who manages not to say own the<br>
URBIS database of Brussels GIS info, including cadastre, ... (see<br>
<a href="http://www.cirb.irisnet.be/departements/services/urbis" target="_blank">http://www.cirb.irisnet.be/departements/services/urbis</a> for details) to<br>
be allowed to use these data to help OSM.<br>
<br>
I know that we can have freely (aka gratis) URBIS, but the licence is<br>
apparently not compatible with OSM. For any use of URBIS data, a<br>
reference to URBIS and CIRB must be made. (see<br>
<a href="http://www.cirb.irisnet.be/departements/services/urbis/acces-aux-donnees" target="_blank">http://www.cirb.irisnet.be/departements/services/urbis/acces-aux-donnees</a>).<br>
I want to discuss this and other points<br>

Urbis could be used to<br>
1/ check that OSM includes all the streets of URBIS (and conversely to<br>
help Urbis a little and show we are nice people ;-) If they have not<br>
yet done the job themselves.<br>
2/ add to OSM some info from Urbis (eg: cadastre ...<br>
