[Imports] [Talk-ca] [Import] Ottawa Buildings & Addresses [Statistics Canada project]

[James]

So to obtain all data for building outlines(from source) (from what scruss
has provided) we would need to convert all tiles of the building outline
and join them together as it clips on edge of tile:

As for additional information from the DWG I have not see any except if you
assume(may be inaccurate) certain attributes based on the layer (i.e. house
layer = building=house) instead of using the more generic value of
building=yes.

I do not see any advantages working from the source file over the geojson
linked in this discussion
