[HOT] Data from IOM Haiti

[Séverin MENARD]

Hi Fred,

Great if this data can be hosted on OSM.
Basically, the rules are the ones desbribed in
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines, especially:
- have a written doc from IOM stating that this data is compatible with the
ODbL license.
- discussing the import with the OSM imports mailing list
- document the import

Regarding where to host the camps, tell me if I am wrong but there is no
WFS layer provided by IOM for this data, so who should do and host this
layer if it is not hosted in OSM?
Other point on which you may have a better overview: how long IOM is still
expected to stay in Haiti? It might occur OSM leaves the country while
there are still numerous IDP camps. So this data (called Data Tracking
Matrix) would need to be hosted somewhere for being updated by the
remaining hum actors or the Gov of Haiti.
Third point, having this data out of a fee platform is not the easiest way
for people that might like to add supplementary information (eg JP/HRO
whose staff have been trained over the past years) and likely end up to
them using an offline system (shapefiles in a GIS desktop system) so that
their data is not easily with the community.

So there are reasons why it would be interesting to host the DTM data from
now, and others for doing it anyway later. Discussing it from now now does
not harm. For anyone who would like to read the DTM methodology and see the
dataset and, here<http://www.eshelter-cccmhaiti.info/jl/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=11&Url=>
is
where you can download it.

Staring the discussion, I would say everything in the DTM might not be ODbL
compatible or OSM compatible. IMHO I think we should not include any name
or contact phone, moreover because these people are not all IOM staff.


Sincerely,

Severin
