Hi John,<div>Great work, :)</div><div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; ">So i'm working with Ian Dees, (who created) shp2osm</span><br></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;">and trying to figure out how to make this happen.</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><br></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;">The CanVec shape files are similar, in that it's the same process of converting, accept that there are no duplicated to contend with.</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><br></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;">My approach is this:</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><br>
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;">I can now convert the Shape file to OSM, i then have both the newly created OSM file, and the CurrentData.osm. ... i then, just copy and past the data to the osm layer.</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;">So the purpose is just to create an OSM file from the CanVec.shp file. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><br>
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;">What i still need to learn todo is automatically apply tags to this created OSM file. any idea?</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><br>
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;">CanVec uses numbers instead of words like GeoBase does, so my script would have the # = osm tag.</span></div><div><br></div><div><br></div>
<div>re:</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; ">9) shp2text to extract the columns I need in xml form<br>10) homebrew scripts to create standalone, matched, and unknown files from<br>
the geobase original<br>11) bulk_upload.pl to upload the new alone sections</span></div></div>
