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>]<o:p></o:p></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>].<o:p></o:p></span></p>
