[Imports] [Imports-us] City of Flagstaff Buildings Import

Wed Feb 26 04:35:55 UTC 2020

Sorry, I forgot to mention … we will definitely plan to attend the SotM US in Tucson and will be happy to share what we’ve learned, along with latest updates.

We submitted a talk proposal for SotM in Cape Town and may have an opportunity to share an update there as well.  We hope to do more work internationally by then.

Thanks,
Deane

Clifford (and Paul),

Thanks for the feedback and recommendations!

We will look at adding the address tags to the building ways where there is only one address.  (That is what we did for the previous import for Redlands, CA that I referenced on the wiki, and it worked well.)  The only concern here is that most of these address points do not intersect the buildings so there will need to be more careful spatial join, but it should be possible.  For the city name, all of the buildings fall within the city limits so it will be simple to append the correct value.

Regarding the license, I have explicit permission from the City and can include that on the wiki.  I am awaiting feedback on the specific license to use, and was planning to include that before proceeding with the import (as with Redlands).

Regarding the why … Esri is currently hosting an OpenStreetMap vector tile service that we make publicly available.  We will soon be making some additional OSM feature services publicly available, with individual layers such as buildings and addresses.  We are also working on additional services, such as geocoding.  The addition of these types of building and address datasets will make each of these services more useful, while hopefully enhancing OSM for other use cases as well.  For the City, I think they would just like to see the OSM map of Flagstaff continue to improve and are happy to share their open data to support that.  We would like to help enable and encourage other GIS users to do the same.

Cheers,
Deane

Deane,
I agree with Paul Norman's recommendation to add the address information to the building outline if there is only one address.

As he also requested, the data license must be compatible with ODbL or explicit permission, in writing and document on the wiki, must be obtained. I can't stress how important this is.

The wiki mentions that addr:city will be populated from on Census Populated Places data. Typically it is the postal city. If you are just importing for the city of Flagstaff that likely isn't an issue.

On a side note, I'm curious why ESRI is running this import. Could you help us understand why and what ESRI and the City of Flagstaff are hoping to gain? With the next SotM US [1] to take place in Tucson, I hope you'll present what you learned at the conference.

Hello,

I am planning to do an import of building footprints and addresses for the City of Flagstaff, Arizona, USA.  The proposed import plan is below:

Wiki: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/City_of_Flagstaff,_Arizona_Buildings_and_Addresses<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__wiki.openstreetmap.org_wiki_Import_City-5Fof-5FFlagstaff-2C-5FArizona-5FBuildings-5Fand-5FAddresses&d=DwMFaQ&c=n6-cguzQvX_tUIrZOS_4Og&r=bDlQVwTHTPLXXsq3QVkzaw&m=k_Volnvyb6sU9RgLveNtajcfdzdzEcxH3j4_JlLFNwM&s=rnOiYCRvvcFE8AU_yNDaqB0wLSMdGDk_rAot_QF95hc&e=>

The source data is provided by the City of Flagstaff under an open data license. The City is aware of the proposed import to OSM and has given explicit permission.  The City has shared the latest buildings and address data this month and we are doing some data preparation work now.

Please let me know of any questions or concerns.

Thanks,

Deane
