<p>LiDAR is apparently a technique for gathering precise elevation
data. Such data is (AFAIU) collected for most of Western Europe,
and other places besides; and there is a tendency to make the data
publicly available, too.</p>
<p>How relevant is this for OSM? How accurate is our elevation data
at present, for Belgium in especial? Would LiDAR data for Belgium
(or parts thereof :) be collected, and could we get it to be
publicly available? Mass import into OSM?</p>
