<div dir="ltr"><div>Importing this data into OSM is never going to work I think, but just like the AGIV data, it can be used to aid mapping. This way we can get the data into OSM to a quality level even exceeding the original data. Something I'm sure data providers are interested in.<br>
<br></div><div>We are doing a similar thing with World Resource Institute (WRI) data in Cameroon and Central African Republic. They released their low quality data and this is being verified, improved and imported into OSM where possible.

I had been considering to go to Karlsruhe that weekend, but this is nearer and possibly more worthwhile, so I'm subscribed now. Being a minimalist and given my name is a well guarded secret I subscribed as Jo Jo :-)<br>
<br>I hope more people will attend though. I need to rest for an hour around noon though. Should I go and look for some accomodation for the night?<br><br>Jo<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2013/5/10 Pieter Colpaert <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:pieter.colpaert@okfn.org" target="_blank">pieter.colpaert@okfn.org</a>></span><br>

We are trying to stimulate open knowledge in Belgium, which mostly boils down to helping open data policies to sprout.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The first and the second of June we have teamed up with Random Hacks of Kindness to hack something for humanity. We have been in contact with the Flemish tourism organisation and they are thinking about doing open data with the bicycle routes, hiking routes and horseback riding paths. I have asked them about the difference with OSM, and they said the data in OSM is not at all up to date. How about making an effort at RHoK to use these data and feed them into OSM? We could then use a lot of existing apps on top of bicycle maps and show them how cool open data is :)</div>
