[Imports] Australia / Victoria / Melbourne - VicMap Property

[Simon Jackson]

*Short Version:*
https://arcg.is/0Tu8Tb
Start a discussion on incorporating the VicMap Property dataset into OSM.

*Longer Version:*
DELWP is the state agency for Victoria in Australia, whom are authoritative
providers of the VicMap dataset.

*The Data*
The VicMap dataset consists of a number of layers that have been made
available as open data under a creative commons license.

An update of the data is made available every couple of weeks via a few
different endpoints.

There are a couple of layers that as an OSM user, I would would be of value
to consider for an initial bulk import
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import> of data, and then potentially
looking at workflows to sync the importing of the incremental deltas
through periodically.

*VicMap Property:*

*VicMap Address:*

*Who am I?*

   - I use OSM as a basemap and for network analysis, but I have not
   contributed to OSM (I plan to do a small area of VicMap Property on my
   street after this email using the ArcGIS OSM tools).
   - Day job is at Esri Australia, and work with the VicMap team, so might
   be able to field any Qs into that team if need be.  (Today is Sunday, this
   request is nothing to do with work).
   - I would be happy to assist in the the import process
   <https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-osm-editor/wiki/Contribute-an-existing-dataset-to-osm#Very_Important_Note_about_Imports>,
   but of course wanted to reach out to the OSM community first and get an
   understanding on how (if at all) I can help.


Thanks
Simon
