[OSM-dev] Extracting just national boundaries

[Curt Nowak]

Hello Igor and Peter,

I'll take a look into --cascading-relations. Maybe I can adapt something from there.
I'm thinking it should be possible in two consecutive runs over a pbf/osm file:
 
1.Run: Read all relations and store their dependencies (maybe in a very simple database, or even in RAM)
Then figure out which relations you *really* need.
2. Run: Filter these relations.

If I have enough time (likely I won't) I might try to write an osmosis plugin for this.

Thanks for your help.

Curt

yes, I know about --cascading-relations, but it's a --bounding-box
option, not a standalone task. On the other hand, you're right, you
always could do something like

--bbox -90,-180,90,180 cascading-relations=yes

and have something like --used-relations - thanks for the pointer!
