[Imports] [Talk-es] [Cat2Osm2] Tool for exporting Spanish Cadastre data in OSM suitable format

[Ander Pijoan]

Hi everyone,

During this weekend some people of the Spanish community have been
discussing in which cases would be suitable to import some things from
Catastro to OSM.

Everything that is imported from Catastro will need to be approved by the
Spanish OSM organizers and it will only be uploaded with a special account,
one for each of the 50 provinces, created for such purpose ("catastro_" +
the province's name).

It is compulsory for the uploader to know well the village he is uploading
in order to be able to fix any conflict with the existing data and to
complete Catastro's data for special buildings, amenities... Roads won't be
imported from Catastro because they're much better in OSM, currently we
will only focus on urban data (we will try to simplify a little bit more
the rural data Cat2Osm2 exports).

Also, the files will need to be validated with JOSM and made in small
pieces (one for each urban block/square).

We have made a test with a little urbanization from one of the Spanish list
users for you all to see:

I would like you to take a look at it, to see if it looks suitable for some
villages where there was no information previously.

Thank you to all.
