[Imports] Question on data uploads to OSM

[de Roulet Pablo Txomin Harpo]

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am leading a research project on pedestrian and cyclist mobility in rural areas of the developing World (no specific country, although mainly focussed on Africa). As the project involves collection of data in remote areas of certain points of interest and street networks of road and pedestrian access, the team is interested to share the data with the OSM community after field data collection. The data collection appends to an OSM baseline data what our researchers collect on the field. The quantity of data is relatively small, with a couple of thousand nodes per each research fieldwork which includes items such as schools, health centres and official buildings and a number of pedestrian paths.

As such, we would like our web platform to automatically or semi-automatically upload our data to OSM. As we have relatively little data per each field collection it is not entirely clear after consulting the OSM guidelines what would be the ideal option to share our data. We would be happy to receive advice form OSM on what would be the best practice for how we can share the data.

Best Regards,
Pablo
