I wonder if they would have data relating to on-street-parking
restrictions?<br>

with my cycle campaigning hat on the cycle parking data
that KCC hold is far from exhaustive. Also it’s of the
form “outside shop xyz, Some Road, Some Place”. So, apart
from giving us clues of places to go out and look for
cycle parking we haven’t mapped yet, it’s not terribly
useful. Luckily, as far as things go, I think I’ve mapped
pretty much all of the cycle parking in East Kent and
quite a bit elsewhere in the county, as is shown on the
cycle parking heat map I maintain:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

are able to release data about maximum speed limits and
traffic calming measures in a form that OSM is able to
use. My personal preference would be to use this as
something to compare against, such that we can assess
where our own data isn’t complete, rather than as
something that would be imported.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
I met people from Kent's OpenKent, which is a county
council open data initiative [1][2]. They explained
their work and I told them about openstreetmap and
its community. They said Kent is not as well
developed in open data as some councils but they
have a long term commitment to improvement. They
have some data sets available but they seem to be
mainly concerned with expenses, census data and
school expenditure so far. They said they are
seeking ideas of what data to publish because they
need to prioritize their effort in getting the data
for which there is a public demand. If you have
ideas, I suggest you get in touch. I expect other
councils have already done stuff that's interesting
and it might be worth making them aware. They also
plan to showcase interesting data visualisations
based on their data or any Kent related data. It
might be good to get publicity for small projects.
OpenKent is also seeking ideas and feedback for a
(web based?) data visualisation tool they are
planning to help the (non-technical) public use the
data.<br>
<br>
I tried to think of data that would be useful to
mappers. Obviously the rights of way data would be
amazing. The council also holds the parish
boundaries data. Some government data sets use
parish and electoral boundaries as their areas, so
that would be useful to do visualisations. Also the
Kent Heritage Tree Project [3] might like the parish
boundaries, as apparently many old trees are on or
near these boundaries. Having lists of public
institutions, possibly with addresses, would be
great to validate the OSM database. We can quickly
find any schools, public services that we missed. I
suspect we will avoid doing imports of data which is
not really GIS but we might add data to OSM to make
visualisations and mash ups easier (machine tags and
data to link to their database rows).<br>
<br>
Again, they said they would appreciate any ideas. I
talked to Noel Hatch and Matthew Kerr. Get in touch
with them. :)<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
