> Hi everyone!
>
> There have been several conversations in the Finnish OSM forums about
> importing data from the Digiroad database to OSM. Digiroad is a national
> road and street database administrated by the Finnish Transport Agency (FTA).
> Inspired by the conversations we have created a bus stop import pilot
> project. The purpose of the pilot is to complement OSM’s bus stop data with
> data from Digiroad.
>
> Digiroad is the main database for public transport stop information in
> Finland. According to a rough estimate, 60% of Finnish bus stop data is
> missing from the OSM database. In this project, the missing data will be
> provided to the OSM community for further development and application
> purposes.
>
> In this import, OSM stops will be treated as master data. Thus, OSM stops
> will not be removed or edited in anyway. To avoid overlapping data, the
> Digiroad bus stop data will be filtered using common ID-numbers and
> locations (for more info, please read our wiki!)
>
> Data is planned to be imported in two phases. In the piloting phase, we
> plan to test all the processes with a small test set data. The test set
> will be imported during October or November 2018 and the exact time of the
> import depends on the OSM community’s feedback.
>
> After the import, the Digiroad operator organizes a mapathon event 5th of
> November at the GIS Expo in Helsinki together with the local OSM community.
> The aim of the mapathon is to move the Digiroad stops from the original
> center line geometry location to the actual bus stop shelter or pole
> location, and more tags can also be added in process.
>
> In the second phase, the Digiroad bus stop data gathered from the rest of
> Finland will be imported after successful and well-received import of the
> test data. Similar mapathons than in GIS-expo will be organized also after
> the main import.
>
> This import has been planned in the Finnish Transport Agency's (FTA)
> Digiroad operating service and together with Mr. Erno Mäkinen (Gispo Oy),
> who has been the consultant for the project regarding preliminary OSM
> community opinion.
>
> Data license is OK. OSM-community has a written permission from the FTA to
> import the data.
