head in shame.<br>
<br>
So the final result on the building import was the process and licenses
are fine but local mappers need to agree with the import being done and
if they do they can just go ahead but should follow the agreed process?<br>
<br>
How many areas does the data exist for that haven't been imported yet?
Perhaps there might be some interest in importing a few other areas.<br>
<br>
Thanks John <br>

<p class="MsoNormal">There are two sources of buildings to import one is
Bing the other is the stat Canada licensed one. Both have the correct
license for OSM.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">If you are going after the stat can one then there
was an import plan drawn up for Canada and that is in the wiki. <o:p></o:p></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I suggest if you use the stat can import plan
basically just copy it together with the license information or perhaps
you can do a sort of amendment of it to cover York. The reason I
suggest that is there is an import mailing group that
gets involved and they tend to ask all sorts of questions. Getting by
them has been described as the hardest part of the import process.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">The original import was done in Ottawa and we got
all the licensing permissions sorted out and because Ottawa is fairly
small the local group formed a consensus that that is what they were
happy with and that was the basis of that import.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">When we set it up to import across Canada the
problem with the stat can data was the quality varied from municipality
to municipality and there was some concerns about if the data should be
preprocessed in some way. Also in some areas
such as Toronto local mappers wanted to feel more in control.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I can't recall who came up with the preprocessing
but I'm sure James will remember. Pierre I'm almost certain expressed
his opinion. It might be worth looking at what they came up with and
why. I do recall that some mappers thought the
Ottawa building import should have been preprocessed but the local
mappers were happy with the raw data.<o:p></o:p></p>
