[Imports] Proposal for importing building footprints for Onondaga County, NY

[Mateusz Konieczny]

"Changeset tags won't be necessary until the import is automated and not manually reviewed."

What you mean by that?
Changeset tags should at least link wiki documentation page and
mark it as a bot edit (though wiki documentation page may be also linked in
the changeset comment).

> Hello,
>
> I previously discussed importing building footprints for Onondaga
> County, NY from data provided by the Syracuse-Onondaga County Planning
> Agency. The data source was prepared for the county by “Pictometry
> International using digital orthogonal
> aerial photography flown by Pictometry”. The data have been updated as
> recently as October 2020 and not since, after checking with SOCPA. It
> is accurate to between 2 and 5 feet when compared against Bing Imagery
> or ESRI World Imagery. SOCPA has given OpenStreetMap a waiver to use
> this data, which has been verified by the legal team on their mailing
> list.
>
> Recently I’ve been working on formalizing the conversion script and
> wiki page, which is available here:
>
> https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Catalogue/Onondaga_County_NY_Building_Footprint_Import
>
> To allow the community to review the import at this state, I have
> created a shapefile from converted data for the Village of Liverpool,
> NY:

> https://gitlab.com/jackarnold/onondaga-building-osm-import-example/-/raw/master/20210203/28_Village%20of%20Liverpool.geojson
>
> I hope that there will be no issues with the data, and minimal tweaking
> to be required to move forward with the import. From here I will
> manually verify the data against satellite imagery, then upload the OSM
> file to the test server, and verify it once again. With approval from
> the community, I will continue to import one municipality/town/or
> smaller boundary at a time on the main server, and update the wiki page
> with my progress.
>
> I would appreciate and comments, suggestions, or concerns!
>
> Thanks,
> Jack
