Hi,

Would it be OK to go ahead with the proposed approach, that is try a smaller geographical area first and then push the whole generated set?

Hi,

I created the page as suggested here: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/ODA/Finnish_SOTE_registry_import. Will try a smaller upload first for one city, for example Tampere.
There are definitely existing POIs for many of the service providers, uploaded by individual users or the organizations themselves.
For completeness having an “official” set of POIs coming from the SOTE registry would have some benefit perhaps, on the other hand this would probably result in a slow update cycle.

How would you see this working best? We could probably upload now only the missing POIs, and outside this process instruct people on how to maintain their location going forward.

Br,

Tero

Hi Tero,

have you checked this guidelines about importing? http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines (and http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Plan_Outline).

Especially step 4 where it is asked to create an OSM wiki page documenting your plan. There is a nice example made by HSL for importing Swedish street names http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Digitransit/Helsinki_region_Swedish_road_names_import (which follows the Plan_Outline mentioned above). Your github page looks somehow like that but the OSM recommendation is to document to the OSM wiki.

As for the import itself, testing in a small area and reviewing the results before making an import for the whole dataset may be a good way to start. But surely you have planned for that already. A more specific check that comes to mind is to check for already existing POIs that may already contain that information (and not import double POIs).

Cheers,
Eduardo

Hey OSM,
I'd like to propose an import of the Finnish National Registry of social and health care providers.
National Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) maintains a registry for all public and private social and health care providers in Finland.
The data is available under the CC BY 4.0 license. THL has given permission to use their data, provided they are listed on the copyright page as a data source.
My intention is to use the service provider information available from the registry (name, address, provider type: social/healthcare), geocode the addresses to coordinates, transform the data to JOSM POI format and import the set to OSM.
See the readme for more details:  https://github.com/omahoito/osm-import
Br,
Tero
