something that could be a cost that nobody will cover?</span><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.3333px; font-family: Courier New,courier,monaco,monospace,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">yes the automatic process create a properly geo-referenced OSM file available on cadastre.openstreetmap.fr<br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.3333px; font-family: Courier New,courier,monaco,monospace,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.3333px; font-family: Courier New,courier,monaco,monospace,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br><font face="Arial" size="2"><b><span style="font-weight:bold;">>>>></span></b></font>How is the

I you need more details about it please quote the part of text which is not clear, it will be easier for me to answer ;-)<br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.3333px; font-family: Courier New,courier,monaco,monospace,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.3333px; font-family: Courier New,courier,monaco,monospace,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><font face="Arial" size="2"><b><span style="font-weight:bold;">>>>></span></b></font>It sounds as if this IS the
base import of the cadastre data? So what is missing is a 'staging'
layer, which identifies what has been imported. I presume that the
current view is that it's this 'automation' that is not practical yet?</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.3333px; font-family: Courier New,courier,monaco,monospace,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">There are such tools for administrative boundaries of cities but not for buildings. If I remember well nobody mentionned this kind of need up to now has the process is manual normally user should perform the import if data are already there.</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.3333px; font-family: Courier New,courier,monaco,monospace,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.3333px; font-family: Courier New,courier,monaco,monospace,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><font face="Arial" size="2"><b><span style="font-weight:bold;">>>>></span></b></font>But the 'extra' tools being
provided simply allow large blocks of raw
data to be copied over once they have been identified as building or
what ever?</div>No the problem with automated tool is that generated building data are sometimes artificially splitted due to the fact that cadastre landuse is splitted according to landuse ownership whereas in reality building is not splitted. You also have some case where OSM data has been draw on top of Bing that was not precisely georeference compared to cadastre so you need to adjust data. Sometimes water coming from cadastre doesn't exist in real life so that's why we need to perform manual check<br><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.3333px; font-family: Courier New,courier,monaco,monospace,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.3333px; font-family: Courier New,courier,monaco,monospace,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">Cheers</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.3333px; font-family: Courier
