think this one through and get organised.<br><br>In Ottawa on the first
import we went through all the steps to do the import including getting
agreement with the local mappers and we were very fortunate in having an
organised team of competent local mappers to do the import.<br><br>It
went reasonably smoothly but there were some questions asked and one or
two buildings were probably remapped which raised some eyebrows. Since
its been released under the federal government open data license
licensing isn't an issue.<br><br>If we do nothing on the organising side
then we will almost certainly get individuals importing Open Data in an
ad hoc mode as has been happening in Nova Scotia recently.<br><br>My
feeling is it would be better if mappers in the major cities / regions
such as Toronto and Montreal took the lead for their cities / regions. <br><br>Cheerio

<div><b>Open Building Data: an exploratory initiative</b></div>
<div style="margin-top:5pt;margin-bottom:5pt;"><font size="3"><span
style="font-size:12pt;">This exploratory initiative aims at enhancing
the use and harmonization of open building data from government sources
for the purpose of contributing to the creation
of a complete, comprehensive and open database of buildings in Canada.
The outcome of this exploratory work is a first version of the <a
href="https://www.statcan.gc.ca/eng/open-building-data/open-database"
moz-do-not-send="true"><font color="#0563C1"><u>Open Database of
Buildings</u></font></a> (ODB),
a centralized and harmonized repository of building data made available
under the <a
href="https://open.canada.ca/en/open-government-licence-canada"
moz-do-not-send="true"><font color="#0563C1"><u>Open Government License -
Canada</u></font></a>.</span></font></div>
<div style="margin-top:5pt;margin-bottom:5pt;"><font size="3"><span
style="font-size:12pt;">This initiative originates from insights taken
from the <a
href="https://www.statcan.gc.ca/eng/open-building-data/crowdsourcing-osm"
moz-do-not-send="true"><font color="#0563C1"><u>Statistics
Canada pilot project</u></font></a> on data crowdsourcing, which used
OpenStreetMap as a platform for integrating data on building footprints.
In addition to the possible benefits of crowdsourcing, that project
highlighted the potential of integrating open
data from municipal, regional, and provincial governments to meet the
needs of official statistics.</span></font></div>
<div style="margin-top:5pt;margin-bottom:5pt;"><font size="3"><span
style="font-size:12pt;">In its current version (version 1.0), the ODB
contains approximately 4.3 million building footprints. </span></font></div>

<div><b>Données ouvertes sur les immeubles : une initiative exploratoire</b></div>
<div style="margin-top:5pt;margin-bottom:5pt;"><font size="3"><span
style="font-size:12pt;">Cette initiative exploratoire vise à accroître
l'utilisation et l'harmonisation des données ouvertes sur les immeubles
provenant de sources gouvernementales en vue de
contribuer à la mise en œuvre d'une base de données complète, exhaustive
et ouverte sur les immeubles au Canada. Le travail exploratoire a mené à
la création d'une première version de la <a
href="https://www.statcan.gc.ca/fra/donnees-ouvertes-immeubles/base-donnees-ouvertes"
moz-do-not-send="true"><font color="#0563C1"><u>Base
de données ouverte sur les immeubles</u></font></a> (BDOI), un
référentiel centralisé et harmonisé des données sur les immeubles rendu
public en vertu de la <a
href="https://ouvert.canada.ca/fr/licence-du-gouvernement-ouvert-canada"
moz-do-not-send="true"><font color="#0563C1"><u>Licence
du gouvernement ouvert du Canada</u></font></a>.</span></font></div>
<div style="margin-top:5pt;margin-bottom:5pt;"><font size="3"><span
style="font-size:12pt;">Cette initiative est fondée sur les leçons
tirées du <a
href="https://www.statcan.gc.ca/fra/donnees-ouvertes-immeubles/approche-participative-osm"
moz-do-not-send="true"><font color="#0563C1"><u>projet
pilote de Statistique Canada</u></font></a> sur l'approche participative
en matière de données, qui avait employé OpenStreetMap comme plateforme
d'intégration des données sur les empreintes d'immeubles. En plus des
avantages potentiels de l'approche participative,
ce projet a mis en lumière la possibilité d'intégrer les données
ouvertes des administrations publiques municipales, régionales et
provinciales afin de répondre aux besoins en matière de statistiques
officielles.</span></font></div>
<div style="margin-top:5pt;margin-bottom:5pt;"><font size="3"><span
style="font-size:12pt;">Dans sa version actuelle (version 1.0), la BDOI
contient environ 4,3 millions d'empreintes d'immeubles.</span></font></div>
