asked not to confuse the process of importing new data with that of updating/modifying existing OSM data in order to keep things simple for this import.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

(I) responded that importing new data and updating/modifying existing ones at the same time (when necessary) is not unusual in OSM [<i>and would be more efficient</i>].<u></u><u></u></span></p>

replied that importing new data and updating/modify existing data when required worked quite nicely when importing Ottawa.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

</span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">explained he believes that the buildings will not be compared manually since there are hundreds of thousands of them in OSM for Toronto
alone. In other words, he thinks there will be automated edits, and these edits are not governed by the same policies as imports. [<i>This is an important consideration. What has happened in Ottawa and Toronto so far? Have automatic processes been used?</i>]<u></u><u></u></span></p>

replied that in most cases it might be appropriate to replace OSM data, as he believes [<i>as I do for most of the cases</i>] that the ODB footprints will be more accurate than existing buildings. However he considers it is a case-by-case decision [<i>then
no automation process should be used</i>].<u></u><u></u></span></p>
