objective is
to facililate validation of content vs Canvec and Geobase. For example,
it is possible to validate rapidly a portion of road without having to
load Canvec.osm files. Since the Canvec toporama layer do not show the
road names, I simply use Geobase roads for names. Geobase entries are
derived from http://www.geobase.ca/geobase/en/wms/index.html page.<br></div><pre><a href="" rel="nofollow" name="Canvec">Canvec<br></a><span class="yiv1196747932nt"></span><span class="yiv1196747932cp">http://wms.sst-sw.rncan.gc.ca/wms/toporama_fr?REQUEST=GetMap&SERVICE=wms&VERSION=1.1.1&EXCEPTIONS=application/vnd.ogc.se_inimage&SRS={proj(EPSG:4326)}&FORMAT=image/png&transparent=true&layers=SCW-Toporama&WIDTH={width}&height={height}&BBOX={bbox}</span>

</pre><br>Regarding route 117, I am sure this is not called Route
transcanadienne. There is only one crossing Québec. The highways 20 and
40 represent Route transcanadienne. Governments give sometimes names to
parts of roads like the Jean Lesage section. This is also the case for
route 117 north of Saint-Jovite. There, it is call route du Curé-Labelle
as showed on the Geobase layer. In fact, Geobase names are provided by
Government of Québec.<div> </div><div><span style="font-style:italic;color:rgb(0, 0, 191);font-weight:bold;">Pierre <br></span><br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; margin-top: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> <div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> <div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <div dir="ltr"> <font face="Arial" size="2"> <hr size="1"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">De :</span></b> Frank Steggink <steggink@steggink.org><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">À :</span></b> talk-ca@openstreetmap.org <br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Envoyé le :</span></b> Jeudi 23 août 2012 14h19<br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Objet :</span></b> Re: [Talk-ca] Canvec import issues<br> </font> </div> <br>Hi Pierre,<br><br>In 2009 we had a meeting in Sherbrooke. This was in the day the Canvec
landuse was starting to run. Discussions were already going on on talk-ca and the wiki pages for several months. Emilie Laffray joined the meeting with Skype, and explained how the Corine Land Cover was handled. While it seemed to be a nice way, it somehow disappeared from the radar. Perhaps the Canadian community is too small, or everyone is too busy with other things, like work, etc.<br><br>Regarding the duplicate ways, caused by lakes punched out of forests, I'm considering to write a small tool. It would be a good opportunity to learn about the frameworks for handling OSM data which have been developed in the last couple of years. I won't distribute in public, but people could ask for it once it is "ready". I will certainly make it single purpose only, i.e. handling only data which has been tagged with one of the Canvec source tags.<br><br>Regarding the WMS layer, I'll check out the URL. I guess you're referring to the one listed here? <a
href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Canada_WMS_Layers" target="_blank">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Canada_WMS_Layers</a><br>Here is my first and only attempt to replace Geobase NRN roads, which haven't been touched by others, by Canvec roads: <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/11848571" target="_blank">http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/11848571</a><br>Although copying names involves manual labor, checking and replacing roads individually is also manual labor. Note that the sheet area is only to the south and east of St. Zacharie. The bounding box is much larger, since I split up Geobase roads at the boundary of the sheet.<br><br>Re. Route 117: it is called "Route 117" in Canvec. Probably it's best known as "Route Transcanadienne" in this area. Near Quebec City the highway is called Route Jean-Lesage, although it's also part of the Trans Canada Highway.<br><br>Frank<br><br> </div> </div> </blockquote></div>
